Book Giveaway! Win a copy of Crave by Chris Tomlinson!

Today’s the day! I’m giving away two copies of Crave: wanting so much more of God by Chris Tomlinson! (Skip to the entry details.)

I mentioned in my book review of Crave that the truths about God that Chris Tomlinson has come to know through his experiences are truths that should be shared. That is why Chris wrote the book. He sent me two copies of the book with this in mind....

Book Review | Crave by Chris Tomlinson

“If you are anything like me… you’ve settled for comfort rather than Christ, but your cravings for God are slowly thawing your cold heart. The only remedy I can see for our comfortable Christianity is to do what Paul told us, to offer our bodies as living sacrifices to a God who is worthy to receive them.” –Chris Tomlinson

Book Review | Counterfeit Gods by Timothy Keller

“Most people spend their lives trying to make their heart’s fondest dreams come true… We never imagine that getting our heart’s deepest desires might be the worst thing that can ever happen to us.” –Timothy Keller

Counterfeit Gods by Timothy Keller

I have a fondness for Tim Keller primarily because he was the first preacher that I ever heard preach the Gospel. Granted, that is an exaggeration. What I really mean is Tim Keller was preaching when Jesus Christ opened my eyes, ears, and heart to the truth of the Gospel. My wife (girlfriend at the time) had started attending Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan because she was familiar with...

I’m a collector. I collect ideas.

I love to surround myself with ideas, insights, facts, any bit of knowledge. Because of this, I read a lot. I also buy a lot of books, though I don’t always red them. I just like to have them with me. When my wife and I got married, we combined each of our book collections, the culmination of fifty years combined between us of surrounding ourselves with books. We then packed all those books into boxes to move them across the country.

There were over 35 boxes.

Book Review | The Seven Faith Tribes by George Barna

“We often speak about wanting to be light in the darkness. America… has plenty of darkness, although it masquerades as light. Are we really providing illumination? Could we do a better job of being love in the midst of ambivalence, hostility, and fear, or of delivering wisdom in the middle of a confusing and distracted culture?” –George Barna

The Seven Faith Tribes by George Barna

I am not sure what George Barna set out to achieve by writing “The Seven Faith Tribes” given that the book is a combination multiple themes: a segmentation analysis of the American population based on spiritual beliefs and behaviors, social commentary on the decline of American culture, a call for Christians to live differently by embracing love and service to others, and laying a foundation for a vision of how society can be...

Book Review | The Furious Longing of God by Brennan Manning

“You will live with an awareness that the Father not only loves you, but likes you.” –Brennan Manning

The Furious Longing of God by Brennan Manning

The beauty of Brennan Manning’s books is the vividness and the intensity with which he presents his message. And that message is the simple yet profound truth that our God, the Supreme Being, loves us. Loves you. Loves me.

Well, duh. Right? You’re probably thinking, “I know God loves me; I don’t need to a book to tell me that!”

I disagree. I think we need to hear this message over and over and over again. And there are a number of reasons.
