Kevin Miller's Pick for September/October:
Praise Habit: Finding God in Sunsets and Sushi
by David Crowder
From Kevin: David Crowder writes like he sings - quirky and profound, hilarious and deep. He takes us from "nunzilla" to Lectio Divina. He combines his unique view of life with a thought-provoking walk through his favorite Psalms to get his point across - We are enveloped by Christ, clothed in His merciful sacrifice. To live in this remembrance is to bring awareness of Christ into your every encounter; you bring His embrace to the things you embrace.
David Matranga's Pick for September/October:
The Insanity of God: A True Story of Faith Resurrected
by Nik Ripken
From David: Warning, do not start this book unless you plan to read the whole thing! This is a powerful, firsthand account of what ministry looks like around the world and the trials that Nik Ripken faced in obeying the Great Commission. He takes us to Muslim-controlled Africa where Christianity is currently persecuted severely, to Russia just after the collapse of the USSR, and then to Asia, where revival is spreading in underground churches.
Don Bastrom's Pick for September/October:
Pure Desire: How One Man's Triumph Can Help Others Break Free From Sexual Temptation
by Ted Roberts
From Don: Ted Roberts tells of his own personal journey as an ace Navy pilot and top gun instructor at Coronado in San Diego - and eventually as a pastor. From his youth with many abusive step-fathers, to becoming addicted to drugs, alcohol, and power while serving in the military. Through his new wife and God's intervention, he gave his life to Christ. That's when the battle for his life got fierce. A must-read for any man who struggles with temptation (who doesn't?).
David LaBahn's Pick for September/October:
Killing Jesus: A History
by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard
From David: This is a strictly historical book about the life and death of Jesus Christ. The author personally DOES believe that Jesus is the Messiah, but he stays with the historical accounts of Jesus. Very interesting read!
Linda Hoffman's Pick for September/October:
Mere Christianity
by C.S. Lewis
From Linda: The way Lewis uses stories to give us clues to the meaning of the universe is captivating and helps change your perspective on religion and God's ability to communicate truth to us.
