Complex
Not super stoked about this book— mainly because if this had a movie rating it would be…
Echo Island
I'm always hesitant when non-fiction writers decide to write fiction, especially theologians. It was thought-provoking and suspenseful. The descriptions and dialogue…
A Christmas Resolution
‘A Christmas Resolution’ did not change my opinion about short stories. There just isn't enough book to…
The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self
In a culture where the individual is king, our personal thinking is heavily influenced, rather- manipulated, by the masses. I don't know about you, but I'd like to do my own thinking and Trueman's book will at the very least help you become more aware of the potential 'why' you think the things you do.
The Gospel as Center
"Love divorced from truth is not love, and truth divorced from love is not truth."
Spinning Silver
"Don't sorrow so. The winter is gone."
"But it is gone because I have fed the fire, and it wants more wood."
Marathon
This book shows us one example of the dangerous consequences of passing unchecked information as fact, or getting all worked up about something that has not been verified by the right sources.
Live Not By Lies
The author makes some very interesting and important points about what is happening in our country today and what the consequences could be.
Extreme Prey
Honestly I think the language hindered my ability to engage or be objective about the storyline and characters but let’s review it anyway.
Lost and Found
This story shows me that Orson Scott Card is a smart, creative, and funny guy who has imagination and sarcasm and the ability to write things that are meaningful.
The Actor’s Life
This book will make you believe that you are actually an aspiring actor.
How To: Absurd Scientific Advice
I think “entertaining and useless” is an accurate description of this book!
Airborne
Sure, it’s a clean read, and I do appreciate that, but I just can’t get to the raving reviews so many others can. Mills doesn’t waste any time getting into it. We immediately find out…
An Anonymous Girl
This book is suspenseful in a very slow way. I found the premise intriguing- participating in a psychological experiment of sorts that becomes a little twisted and…
Little Fires Everywhere
Oofta. A very popular book, but this was a distressing read for me. It probably didn’t help that I…
Genome
If the word ‘quantum’ excites you, you’ll probably enjoy this book. I really did like the first book, but my fears were realized in the sequel. It should not take you 1000 pages to answer the question…
The Honest Griever
Being an ‘honest’ griever is harder than you would think. Hoeksema is truly transparent as she shares her journey, even the thoughts that we all think but are too afraid to voice.
Pandemic
Due to our current pandemic, I felt it the right time to read this exceptionally long book. Somehow I read it in 5 days.
Capital Gaines
Firstly, great and clever title. Nextly, I'd say this book is probably going to be more inspiring to entrepreneurial types or people who are just die-hard-the Gaines-can-do-no-wrong types. I am neither, so…
The Book of Lost Names
A beautiful story set in France, WWII, following a network of forgers helping smuggle people to safety.
