The Atonement of God: Building Your Theology on a Crucivision of God
by
J. D. Myers
lynne777
, August 19, 2016
Myers' thought-provoking and insightful teaching will make every believer take notice and shout for joy. Understanding the truth of how much our Creator loves us will blow your mind when you come to understand how much we have misunderstood and been misled by what we have been taught to believe. At first glance, I thought THE ATONEMENT OF GOD: BUILDING YOUR THEOLOGY ON A CRUCIVISION OF GOD was going to be another boring book on theology, but I was completely wrong and found myself drawn in from page one. This book is outstanding and an exemplary read that no believer in Christ should miss. Myers explains things that were never made plain to us before, and it will bring joy to the heart of any believer who reads it. It is outstanding and highly recommended for anyone interested in learning the truth about God. From the beginning. Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the author and/or publisher through the Speakeasy blogging book review network. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

Sobriety: A Graphic Novel
by
Maurer, Daniel D.
lynne777
, January 20, 2015
SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL by Daniel D. Maurer (Author) and Spencer Amundson (Illustrator) Publisher: Hazelden Date published: November 4, 2014 ISBN: 978-1-61649-557-2 Graphic Novel Paperback Reviewed by Lynne Obtained via Speakeasy Rating: 5 SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL by Daniel D. Maurer (author) and Spencer Amundson (illustrator) is an excellent book that can be a great asset to those considering or actually going into recovery from alcoholism or chemical addiction. The author, Daniel D. Maurer, is a former Lutheran ministry who is openly in recovery, so SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL is clearly based on first-hand experience. The talented illustrator of SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL, Spencer Amundson, is a freelance graphic artist with several graphic novels under his belt. His illustrations are clear, detailed, and expressive. SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL by Daniel D. Maurer (author) and Spencer Amundson (illustrator) is an intimate look at the challenges faced by those in recovery from alcoholism or chemical addiction. The perspectives are from a group of five Twelve Step members, Larry, an “old timer” in recovery circles, Alex, a Londoner of African descent, gay and an atheist, Debby, a single mother who is on her third round of treatment, nineteen-year-old Matt, what some call a “tough case”, and Hannah, who was adopted as a baby and grew to be a smart high achiever. Their approaches to recovery are as diverse as their backgrounds. These five people each have a unique set of addictions, philosophies, struggles, and successes as they work through the Twelve Steps of the recovery program. All of them are seeking help for their addiction, which is what binds these members together as a small community. As they progress through the Steps, they discover the power of helping one another find strength together as they strive to reach for a clean-and-sober lifestyle. SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL by Daniel D. Maurer (author) and Spencer Amundson (illustrator) is well-written and beautifully illustrated and may serve as a catalyst to recovery for many trapped in this chronic, problematic lifestyle. It tastefully includes the necessity of God - a Higher Power, if you will - in the Twelve Step program, regardless of opposition to or disbelief in His existence. SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL by Daniel D. Maurer (author) and Spencer Amundson (illustrator) maintains the importance of community and sponsorship within the Twelve Step program and helps the afflicted understand his or her need for support in their addictions. SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL by Daniel D. Maurer (author) and Spencer Amundson (illustrator) is an easy, fast read for anyone interested and is a good stepping-stone in aiding someone into recovery. It may also help others recognize their own need for help with their addiction problems and bring them to that place where they finally admit they have a problem and need help to overcome it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL by Daniel D. Maurer (author) and Spencer Amundson (illustrator) and liked that the illustrations were relevant to the overall book. This is the first graphic novel I have read and greatly enjoyed it. Perhaps, in future, the publisher might want to enhance the graphic experience by colorizing the illustrations. Just a thought. I enjoyed reading SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL by Daniel D. Maurer (author) and Spencer Amundson (illustrator) from the perspectives of the five different people. It helps the reader understand more easily how people fall into their problematic addictions or lifestyles. It gives insight into what they have experienced in their lives, what they were thinking and feeling, and even how they were justifying their drinking or drug use. This graphic novel gives a clear picture of how far the addiction will take a person before he or she hits rock bottom. SOBRIETY: A GRAPHIC NOVEL by Daniel D. Maurer (author) and Spencer Amundson (illustrator) is unique and powerful in its scope of reality. The street language, lifestyle situations, and human frailties that lead a person into alcoholism and addiction is right on. It is a valuable resource that many can easily relate to on a personal level. As a degreed alcoholism and chemical addiction counselor, I highly endorse this book for counselors operating in this realm, especially for AA groups, ASAT prison programs, and all Twelve Step programs.

They Call Me Dad How God Uses the Unlikely to Save the Discarded
by
Phillip Cameron

THEY CALL ME DAD: How God Uses The Unlikely To Save The Discarded by Philip Cameron Publisher: HigherLife Publishing and Marketing Date published: April 1, 2014 ISBN: 978-1-939183-21-7 Biography & Autobiography/Personal Memoirs Paperback Reviewed by Lynne Obtained via Speakeasy Rating: 5 THEY CALL ME DAD: How God Uses The Unlikely To Save The Discarded by Philip Cameron is an extremely powerful, eye-opening book that brings to light the plight of the Romanian orphans in Moldova. It is a moving, heart-breaking encounter with children forgotten by much of the world. Except for those seeking to exploit them through sex trafficking. THEY CALL ME DAD: How God Uses The Unlikely To Save The Discarded by Philip Cameron is the true story of Philip Cameron, a humble, unlikely, ordinary man and his father, Simon, who greatly loved God and the forgotten, overlooked children of the world. It is the true story of how God used them to save the discarded and forgotten. Despite his continual refusal to go to Romania at his father’s request, to help the children there, Philip finally gives in. Despite his frailty, Simon chooses to make the trip to Romania with him. Because babies are dying, and God wanted them to help them. But what Philip discovered upon arriving in Moldova shocked him to the core of his being. Once he saw the conditions the children of Moldova were living in, he took it upon himself, through God’s direction, to get involved in their plight and to never look back. THEY CALL ME DAD: How God Uses The Unlikely To Save The Discarded by Philip Cameron shares of the unbelievable poverty and filth that these unfortunates are forced to live in. Communism gives these children little to nothing. There is no food, broken windows, leaking roofs, no clothing, frigid conditions. Barely anything at all. At age 16, the orphans are completely discarded, actually kicked out of the the orphanages, the only home many have ever known, and told to return home. With a measly $30 in their pockets, they return to their birth roots, where they have nothing and no one. Fully aware of this, men from various corners of the world lie in wait, often kidnapping these orphans, who have no skills, no money, no place to live, no family who cares, and force them into sex trafficking. Moldova, it seems, is the major European country that fuels the entire sex trafficking industry. THEY CALL ME DAD: How God Uses The Unlikely To Save The Discarded by Philip Cameron tells the story of the ministry Philip started, Stella’s Voice. Philip took it upon himself to build a home for the children who were coming of age and needed a place to go, a place of security that would give them a hope and a future. To rescue them from being forced into sex trafficking. THEY CALL ME DAD: How God Uses The Unlikely To Save The Discarded by Philip Cameron is a gripping, well written book you will not want to put down. Philip Cameron has become a father to these unfortunates who have been discarded and forced to live in horrendous conditions. The love and care he has shown these children has changed their lives. The children have come to realize that God loves them and died on the cross for them. They learned that God cares for them, despite what others labeled them and told them. The most wonderful part of Philip’s ministry is that these beautiful children are now on fire for the Lord and leading many other discarded children to Him. THEY CALL ME DAD: How God Uses The Unlikely To Save The Discarded by Philip Cameron is a book that will stir your hearts to true compassion. It is so beautiful in its scope and heart breaking in so many ways, I pray that it will touch you deeply so you will want to get involved in some way. “Why?” you may ask, when so many other children are suffering. “Why?” “Because children are dying.” http://vimeo.com/31929615 (Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the author and/or publisher through Speakeasy blogging book review network.

Soil and Sacrament: A Spiritual Memoir of Food and Faith
by
Fred Bahnson
lynne777
, September 08, 2013
SOIL AND SACRAMENT: A Spiritual Memoir of Food and Faith by Fred Bahnson Publisher: Simon and Schuster Date published: August 6, 2013 ISBN: 978-1-4516-6330-3 Spirituality Hardcover Reviewed by Lynne Obtained via publisher Rating: 5 I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started reading SOIL AND SACRAMENT: A SPIRITUAL MEMOIR OF FOOD AND FAITH by Fred Bahnson. The book started slow, so I thought it might be a boring book overall. But I was dead wrong. SOIL AND SACRAMENT: A SPIRITUAL MEMOIR OF FOOD AND FAITH is a beautiful book of faith, of how one man pursued the calling God placed on his life, to feed the hungry. I felt an overall peace while reading this book. Truly, there is an anointing here that few may not even recognize. Bahnson takes the reader on a wonderful journey, beginning first in Chiapas, Mexico as he first tries to seek peace in his life, following his graduation from divinity school. Later, he spends time with monks at Mepkin Abbey in South Carolina, then moves to a special garden,The Lord’s Acre, in North Carolina. From there, he ventures to a place called Africa, then to a ministry called Tierra Nueva, in Washington’s lush Skagit Valley. Finally, Banhson finds his way to the Anathoth garden, a ministry of Cedar Grove UMC, where he helps build a community garden. Bahnson says that “Anathoth was not just a hunger relief ministry but a whole new way to be a church.” (p. 7) Bahnson has experienced a life that many can only dream of pursuing. He believes that faith is expressed in working with our hands, our minds and hearts, in caring for the needs of a hungry world, and that this is tantamount to his calling, to feed people. Bahnson took all the time needed, leaving his wife and sons behind and traveling to various places, to learn all he could about soil and growing things, whether it was about vegetables, fruits, or fungi (mushrooms). He says “there is an entire ecosystem in a handful of soil: bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, earthworms.” He says that “soil is a living organism, a collection of living things that must be fed.” Bahnson believes “soil is indeed a portal to another world.” (p. 3) He states that “Our ecological problems are a result of having forgotten who we are - soil people, inspired by the breath of God.” (p. 8) The reader will be brought through Bahnson’s learning process. Not only to learn about the soil and how to grow things, but about the importance of people and relationships. Overall, it is his quest on how to serve God and love His creation, His people, as believers are commanded to do, regardless of their faults and idiosyncrasies. SOIL AND SACRAMENT: A SPIRITUAL MEMOIR OF FOOD AND FAITH is an extremely well-written book that I quickly fell in love with. By the end, I found myself wanting to read more, to learn more, and to put into practice what Bahnson is already doing. Every community should have a garden of its own, and this book can surely lead the way, especially in these last days when so many are going hungry. Bahnson says we should give people more than we take, tending not just the soil, but the soil people. (p. 193) I wholeheartedly agree. There are some humorous aspects to SOIL AND SACRAMENT: A SPIRITUAL MEMOIR OF FOOD AND FAITH, which helps keep things down to earth, so to speak. And the wonderful friends Bahnson has made along the way to preparing his community garden at Anathoth makes one almost envious of the journey he has taken. Overall, SOIL AND SACRAMENT: A SPIRITUAL MEMOIR OF FOOD AND FAITH is almost like a form of pray itself. It offers much to the reader, including a fruitful glimpse into Jewish traditions. I absolutely loved it and recommend it to anyone interested.

Evangelicals You Dont Know How the Next Christians Are Reshaping America
by
Tom Krattenmaker
lynne777
, August 11, 2013
Too many today are judging true believers - Jesus followers - on the actions, behaviors, and beliefs of other Christians. Too often I have heard evangelicals called fanatics or hypocrites because of the way they act. Albeit it may be due to ignorance, based on what they have learned while growing up in the church; othertimes, it may have more to do with a preconceived notion of what others believe about them. Whatever the truth in the matter, someone has finally tackled the problem and writes an excellent, thought-provoking book on the issue of evangelicals and how ideas and beliefs are changing as our society and our world is changing. THE EVANGELICALS YOU DON’T KNOW: INTRODUCING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CHRISTIANS by Tom Krattenmaker, a frequent USA Today contributor (Onward Christian Athletes), is a well-written, thoughtful, and informative book that shares issues from the past and present, as well as regards future generations of Christians. Evangelicals, if you will. Tom Krattenmaker is referred to as “one of the liberals we evangelicals need to know.” As one of America’s leading journalists on religion, Krattenmaker delves deeply into mistakes evangelicals have made in the past, regarding many different issues, from abortion to homosexuality, sharing how mind-sets are changing. Skillfully sharing the myriads of research and interviews he experienced, Tom does a wonderful job in opening the eyes of the reader to a better understanding of what many are now doing to bring people back to the true love of the Savior, to the world around us. Krattenmaker is fair in his assessment of the divisions and political intricacies affecting the church both past and present and how the younger generation of evangelicals are moving away from traditional beliefs toward a more open-minded point of view, particularly with regard to the various evangelicals and religious sects present in America today. With politics ever evolving with regard to issues such as abortion and same sex marriages, the new generation of evangelicals is now willing to address these issues in a more positive light, as Jesus would do. Krattenmaker makes it clear that we need to move beyond partisan politics and the religious fervor that currently divide American society. The new generation of Christians, realizing that what used to work to draw people to God was either wrong or pointless, and they are considering alternatives that are fundamentally rooted in the overall truths of Scripture. Krattenmaker’s book is an eye-opener on many issues for he not only demonstrates the need for change among evangelicals to help further the Kingdom of God, but he hits the nail on the head when helping the reader recognize the problems American Christianity is struggling to overcome as we move forward in these last days. THE EVANGELICALS YOU DON’T KNOW: INTRODUCING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CHRISTIANS by Tom Krattenmaker is a must-read for anyone interested or concerned in helping bring about humane changes in our society. Full of wisdom, interesting facets of evangelical Christianity and other tidbits, this excellent book is written with a journalistic flare few possess.

Coffee Shop Conversations: Making the Most of Spiritual Small Talk
by
Dale Fincher and Jonalyn Fincher
lynne777
, July 29, 2013
In COFFEE SHOP CONVERSATIONS, authors Dale and Jonalyn Fincher expertly share how they have managed to ward off or deflect blows from the enemy, through personal experience, without losing their friends in the process. They share tips and techniques that can help other believers share their faith, their relationship with Jesus Christ, without rocking the boat, upsetting anyone, or destroying relationships. Dale and Jonalyn Fincher, are a husband-wife team who speak nationally through Soulation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping others “be appropriately human”. Although I am not sure just how much we, as believers, should tolerate other religions, COFFEE SHOP CONVERSATIONS is still a gentle tool that will help people be respectful of others and their beliefs, invite others to share, cultivate what they consider an appropriate attitude of tolerance, and avoid ‘buzzwords’ that will stop a conversation cold. Above all, Finchers share ways of talking about Jesus Christ as a unique spiritual leader. Learning what Finchers have to say of how to genuinely engage people in meaningful spiritual conversations, as Jesus did, is an excellent and rewarding way to educate ourselves on how to do this, since many believers have all had these sorts of conversations at one time or another. COFFEE SHOP CONVERSATIONS is a gracious book relevant for today’s world, especially with the mixed pot of various religions and cultures out there, and I highly recommend it. Regardless of how believers share their faith and love for Jesus Christ, there are many avenues we can use. Finchers’ experiences work well for them, I’m assuming, which is why I recommend this book. Any information we can learn, to adapt to our own walk with God, is always of benefit. COFFEE SHOP CONVERSATIONS shares ways to read the Bible, too, if one is struggling with that and needs some direction. For any believer who seeks to learn how to witness with more effectiveness and understanding, then COFFEE SHOP CONVERSATIONS is well worth a read. I found it enjoyable, interesting, and full of refreshing insights and wisdom.

Gods Favorite Place on Earth Reflections on Jesus Ministry in Bethany
by
Frank Viola
lynne777
, June 24, 2013
While on Earth, Jesus Christ was rejected by those He came to save. A man with no place to lay even His head until...Bethany. The one place he felt welcomed, accepted, and loved. While in Bethany, Jesus and his talmidim came to love the family of Simon the Leper, which included Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, whose lives He touched in a unique, memorable, and awe-inspiring way. GOD’S FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH by Frank Viola is told by Lazarus, after he is raised from the dead. It is the story all believers have speculated about for centuries. What was it like, many have often wondered, to know a man who was dead for four days and was then miraculously resurrected back to life by the most rejected man on Earth? Viola shares in GOD’S FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH the incredible, heartwarming story of this great miracle. A miracle that still lives on in the Word of God, that proves Jesus Christ is indeed the Resurrection and the Life, as He professes to be. GOD’S FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH gives insight into what may have happened after this great miracle took place. The problems and unexpected fame Lazarus faced. Deeply moving and well written, GOD’S FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH is an extraordinary book that will touch your heartstrings and brings this story to life in such a way as to make one marvel at not just the writer’s unique skills, but at God Himself.

There is plenty of conflict, happy moments, humor, and emotion to keep one turning pages.

, May 07, 2013
ANSWERING THE CONTEMPLATIVE CALL: FIRST STEPS ON THE MYSTICAL PATH is a great read for anyone interested in drawing closer to God. Since we are instructed by God to pray and be holy, McColman’s book shares that our simple participation in the Christian prayer life and growing in holiness is a step in the right direction. In fact, McColman states that “...when God’s longing for us connects with our longing for God, [it is then] we enter the mystical life.” (p.15)

Alone with a Jihadist A Biblical Response to Holy War
by
Aaron D Taylor
lynne777
, October 11, 2012
ALONE WITH A JIHADIST: A BIBLICAL RESPONSE TO HOLY WAR by Aaron D. Taylor Publisher: Foghorn Publishers Date published: October 13, 2009 ISBN: 978-1934466131 Nonfiction E-Book Reviewed by Lynne Obtained via publisher. Rating: 5 For seven hours, Aaron Taylor found himself face-to-face with a radical Muslim. Khalid is actually an Irish convert who grew up Catholic. In this interview with Khalid, Taylor learned how Muslims view the United States of America and Christianity. Khalid gave no apologies when sharing that every single Christian that ever lived is going to hell, in his opinion. He believes that Christianity and western civilization are evil and that freedom and democracy are just manifestations of man-made law. Other things Taylor learned during this encounter was enough to challenge any Christian on their beliefs. From this stepping stone, Taylor launches into revelations of the way Christians support wars and unnecessary bloodshed instead of the peace that Jesus Christ inspires us to practice. As Taylor considers Khalid’s arguments for Islam, he reveals that Jesus did not leave this world with a comprehensive social system, economic, or political system, or any other kind of religious system to regulate society. Khalid said that at least Muhammed attempted to solve the world’s problems. And as Taylor later pours over Scripture, seeking the Truth, he comes to realize that, indeed, the Holy Bible cannot be implemented from a government perspective. If there is one book believers in Christ should aspire to read, I believe it is ALONE WITH A JIHADIST: A BIBLICAL RESPONSE TO HOLY WAR. What Taylor uncovers during his interview and further research into his discoveries over the challenge put before him will give believers an entirely new perspective on Islam and regarding the Truth of what Jesus actually teaches in the Holy Bible about violence and non-violence. ALONE WITH A JIHADIST: A BIBLICAL RESPONSE TO HOLY WAR is an eye-opening, extremely thought-provoking book that the reader will want to read again and again and share with their Christian friends and family members. It is well-written, and Taylor backs up his truths with Scriptures and several of the books he has read in order to gain further perspective and understanding in this highly controversial matter.
