This book is one of those rare books that will be added to my all-time favorites list. In the first half of the book Metaxas presents the subjects of miracles, faith, and Christianity (whether they are fact or fiction) in such a way that they can be understood by anyone, yet he is not patronizing, … Continue reading

Hazardous Duty, by Christy Barritt
This book has the notoriety of being the first book I read in 2014. It is a mystery recommended to me by my wife.

If you choose to only read one portion of the book, Craig’s work on the resurrection is worth the purchase … Continue reading
An excellent book that combines solid theology with practical application (and easy to read // not a dry, dusty tome). It really spoke to my life and strengthened my faith. I’m a better man for having read it. Reading it would be a good investment of your time. Continue reading
