The 10 Best Decisions a Man Can Make: The Adventure of Living in God's Plan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 10 Best Decisions a Man Can Make: The Adventure of Living in God's Plan is a tool to assist men in making decisions. Too often we make rash decisions without enough thought or guidance. Even decisions that seem inconsequential or unimportant but all decisions have consequences.
This book is very informative. I felt I was taking an examination while reading. Although this is a good read, there were some things that I thought could have been added, such as in my belief having a Bible available to reference the scriptures that are mentioned in this book. Waiting on God often tries our patience. However, God has a plan for our live, and if we will just be still and now He is God, we will make the right decisions.
I am a woman, so reading the 10 Best of a Man could also be used for a Woman, henceforth the author's wife has written a book, the 10 Best Decisions a Woman can make, and together the authors have written how to make the 10 Best Decisions for Parenting. I think all three of the books will make a good reading series.

Men today have important decisions to make about family, career, and ministry. Sometimes the choices can seem overwhelming, and men end up making decisions by default-by doing what comes naturally rather than by carefully thought-out principles.

When You Just Can't Say Good-bye, Don't: A Mother's Personal Journey After Losing a Child Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a beautifully written book. It described the journey that Maria took after the horrific accident that took her young son's life 6 years ago until now. She shared the lowest moments and how she rose from the pain. It was raw and heart wrenching to read, but yet beautifully done at the same time. You really could feel her pain. She also made you realize that you truly can move on with your life and keep your loved one with you. That is how I would want to move forward as well. She will help so many with this heartfelt book. I highly recommend it and have sent it on to my family to read.

(More customer reviews)We purchased this book used and it arrived in excellent condition (actually better than expected). Shipping was very prompt. Our 11-year-old son read the book for a school book report and said that he enjoyed it. He especially liked the interesting and humorous stories that the authors related from their own lives.

Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe (RE: Lit) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Doctrine is in my opinion an essential book that every Christian and Pastor should make sure to have on their library. It is excellently written and thoroughly enjoyable to read. The authors nailed their goal of writing a book that is both helpful for the pastor but engaging for the layman. This book will be a great blessing to the church as it will be one that could serve for discussion groups or classes.
The book is laid out to follow along the meta-narrative for God and the story of the Bible. To highlight just a few chapters I would say the chapters on creation, Trinity, and the death of Jesus are worth the price of the book alone.
So why with all the warm word would I give this book only four stars? Good question. As I mentioned the greatest strength of this book is how broad its appeal and function will be. At the same time this forced the book (seemingly) to limit itself in a critical area of theology; the doctrine of Salvation. It was shocking for me to read through such a wonderful book on theology by a theologically solid pastor like Mark Driscoll and find no chapter on salvation. This is understandable if the book is striving to reach the entire range of evangelicals. The doctrine of salvation is historically and usually the most controversial chapter and topic any theologian writes on, and sadly, often serves as a litmus test by many pastors and readers. I am left to conclude either they forgot this (which is highly unlikely given the credentials of the authors and that I have heard Driscoll preach on it countless times). Or that they left it out in the ambition of giving the book a wider audience.
Though I am sure some could point to the chapter of worship and highlight that it does talk about regeneration, this is far from an adequate treatment on the doctrine of salvation. I had such high hopes for this book and the uses it could have in the church where I pastor. Now I am left though wanting the second edition of the book to come out so they can fix this glaring omission! Or...maybe just put this chapter on the book website for those who would not want it left out.
