Bibleman: Combating the Commandment of Confusion

March 10, 2010 by lorrie  
Filed under Book Reviews, Children's Books

Bibleman, for those who aren’t familiar with the series, is a Christian “super hero”.  He regularly combats various villians with his trusty sidekicks:  Cypherr and Biblegirl. As an adult, I find the entire video series beyond silly.  It’s low-budget, terrible acting, and borders on obnoxious.  But these videos weren’t made for me.  They’re made for [...]

BURN, by Ted Dekker & Erin Healy

Filed under Book Reviews, Fiction

I really wanted to like BURN.  The cover looks super-cool, the blurb on the dust jacket sounded interesting, and it’s Ted Dekker; you just can’t go wrong…right? A couple of years ago I would have given this book a 5-star rating simply because it had Ted Dekker’s name on it.  And let’s face it, there [...]

NKJV GREATEST STORIES of the BIBLE, Thomas Nelson Publishing

Filed under Book Reviews, Non-Fiction

How does one really write an objective opinion on the ‘Greatest Stories of the Bible’ anyway? There isn’t any new material to cover, and if you’re even remotely familiar with the Bible, you already know how the stories are going to begin and end. So with that in mind, when I agreed to review NKJV [...]

GREEN, By Ted Dekker

I chose this book to review for the Thomas Nelson Blogger Reviews. I am a huge fan of the Circle Trilogy, so it was with great excitement that I sat down to read ‘Green’. I won’t recap the story for you, however, I will say that while I enjoyed ‘Green’, I didn’t really feel like [...]

KABUL24, by Henry O. Arnold and Ben Pearson

As a Thomas Nelson blog reviewer, I picked up ‘Kabul 24′, by Henry O. Arnold and Ben Pearson to read and review. ‘Kabul 24′ takes you on an ominous journey of what the “SNI 8″ endured during their 105 days in Taliban captivity, and how their faith in God gave them hope when there was [...]

Fearless, by Max Lucado

I chose to review Fearless, by Max Lucado, as my Thomas Nelson blogger review because honestly, you can never go wrong with a Max Lucado book.  Max Lucado has an uncanny way of unpacking scripture like no one I’ve ever read.  It’s all stuff you KNOW…but when Max unpacks it, it just seems to make [...]

The Jesus Book, by Stephen Elkins

The Jesus Book, by Stephen Elkins is by far one of the best books written for children, on the ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘when’, ‘where’, and ‘whys’ of Jesus.   The fact that it is illustrated by Claudine Gevry, makes is even better – we love her work! The Jesus Book is written in such a simplistic way, [...]

Deadlock, by Robert Liparulo

Robert Liparulo is fast becoming my favorite author.  Even more so than Ted Dekker.  With his latest book, Deadlock, he just gets better and better. Deadlock is a ‘John Hutchinson’ novel.  I recommend you read Deadfall prior to jumping into this one, as Deadlock is a continuation of the first book.  If you enjoy fast-paced, [...]

Rick & Bubba’s Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage

August 9, 2009 by lorrie  
Filed under Book Reviews

I picked up this book from Thomas Nelson’s Blog site.  Since I’m not that familiar with who Rick and Bubba are, I wasn’t really sure what to expect.  My marriage is pretty solid, so I didn’t really need help with that either.  But, I thought it sounded like a fun, light read, and chose it [...]

The Noticer, by Andy Andrews

Filed under Book Reviews, Fiction

Seems like I’ve read this before. I picked this book from the Thomas Nelson blogger reviews. THE NOTICER, is about a man named “Jones” who appears in the lives of people just when they need him the most. His role is to offer a ‘different perspective’ of their current situation, so that they may change [...]
