Sing Me Forgotten

“Destruction is a music all its own. One composed of drumbeats and a percussion of passion and pain.”

Taking God at His Word

“We should not abandon faith in anything God has taught us merely because we cannot solve all the problems which it raises. Our own intellectual competence is not the test and measure of divine truth. It is not for us to stop believing because we lack understanding, but to believe in order that we may understand.”

Everybody Fights

The YouTube sensation who graced the world with Christmas Jammies back in 2013 has now written a book on marriage. This book was inspired (at least partly) by people commenting on their viral song parody videos saying things like ‘#couplegoals’ and ‘What a perfect couple!’ Turns out…

The Reason for God

“Only if you struggle long and hard with objections to your faith will you be able to provide grounds for your beliefs to skeptics.” He is not threatened by your doubt, he is not disappointed in your pain, and if you come to Him, he will never turn you away. (John 6:37)

The Coddling of the American Mind

“Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.”

Alone in Plain Sight

“Most of my life I’ve mistakenly believed that sticking a label on my forehead somehow tells the truth about who I really am… Every time I stumble upon a label I think might identify me, it eventually gets stripped away.”

Irreversible Damage

Buck Angel, a well-known trans man, even says, “How can we not question it? How can our own community not question it? That’s the part that I’m a little upset about; my own community not saying ‘Hey. We need to take responsibility for these children.’”

Fortitude

I vaguely knew about this guy- you know... the guy with the eye patch. Well. Turns out he has some interesting things to say.

Infinite

This felt like Inception meets Split meets The Matrix.

Gentle and Lowly

"This book is written for the discouraged, the frustrated, the weary, the disenchanted, the cynical, the empty. Those running on fumes. Those whose Christian lives feel like constantly running up a descending escalator.”

This Secret Thing

"Everyone was guilty of something. It didn't take a detective to figure that out."

The Unsaved Christian

“Mainstream Cultural Christians aren’t wrapped up in promoting some kind of gospel message. They are simply trying to be nice to others, pursue their idea of personal happiness, pray when something bad happens, and rest in the belief that they are going to heaven after they die." Does this sound like you or someone you know?

The Cipher

"I've given up on hope," she said quietly, then lifted her chin. "From now on, I fight."

Point of Danger

Disclaimer: this review is a little harsh in a (mostly) sarcastic way. If you regularly like Irene Hannon's books then I don't think what bothered me would really bother you. Alright, buckle up everyone.

An Extravagant Death

Part historical fiction, part Sherlock Holmes, and a dash of wit, this book was a fun read for me.

Word-Centered Church

I was immediately drawn into this book after just reading the introduction. Leeman wastes no time getting right to the heart of the matter and lays out the path he will take for the rest of this phenomenal book.
