Made for More
My next book to review is Made for More by Hannah Anderson. It is a book about living in God’s image and what that means for our lives. Hannah is a gifted writer and thinker. I have read Humble Roots and All That’s Good (I’ve reviewed the former) and I wanted to complete the trilogy….
CS Lewis on the Christian Life
My next review is CS Lewis on the Christian Life. I have become quite the Lewis fan recently, and I was excited for this book, even though I’m not a huge fan of the series. Fortunately, thanks to Joe Rigney, I had a great experience! The purpose of the book is to take the reader…
Reading Between the Lines
First (paper) read of 2019! Reading Between the Lines by Gene Edward Veith Jr. wasn’t a book I was really aware of till recently, and I am happy that I picked it up—well, got it for Christmas! Reading Between the Lines is a book to aid Christians in their ability to read critically. I am…
The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert
After reading The Gospel Comes with a House Key, I wanted to read another book from Rosaria Butterfield. She writes so well, and I know I can learn a lot from her. So, I picked up her first book The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert (STUC). STUC is Rosaria’s conversion story. It’s her journey…

Letters to the Church
Back when I got more serious about my Christian faith, I happened upon Francis Chan and started listening to his sermons. I had at least 90 downloaded and I listened to all of them. I really enjoyed Chan’s passion for Jesus and his willingness to stick to Scripture and challenge the status quo. In Letters…
Faith Among the Faithless
Next book that I am reviewing is Faith Among the Faithless by @mikedcosper. I have not read any of his previous books, but I have heard good things. I appreciate his creativeness and the high quality of the work that he does. Faith Among the Faithless is basically a re-telling of the book of Esther….
Women of the Word
Women of the Word by @jenwilkin was actually a book that was given to my wife, Hayley, as a gift. I have heard a lot of great things about it recently, so I picked it up and gave it a read. Since this is not my first time reading a book by Wilkin, I knew…
Hope in the Dark
This book crossed my path several times recently, so I decided I needed to check it out. Hope in the Dark by Craig Groeschel is a book aimed at people who are in need of answers. Craig is a pastor of a charismatic megachurch Life.Church, which is a multi-site church with locations in ten states….
