David Hoffman's Pick for November:
After Life: My Journey From Incarceration to Freedom

From David: This is an incredible story about a mother and grandmother who was incarcerated for twenty years for a minor drug crime, her reliance on Jesus, and her eventual pardon by the president.
Kevin Miller's Pick for November:
Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth
by Richard J. Foster
From Kevin: Richard Foster studied under Dallas Willard, the author of Spirit of the Disciplines, another outstanding book about the habits of Jesus while He walked the Earth. Both these books teach that if you want to be more like Jesus, do the things that Jesus did. It is not so much about the things a Christian must do as it is a about freedom from the stifling slavery to self-interest and fear. The first few sentences of chapter one are as true today as it was in 1980 when the first edition was printed – “Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.”
David LaBahn's Pick for November:
Bait of Satan: Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense
by John Bevere
From David: Many Christians have taken the bait the enemy lays out for us and they don’t even know it! Families, friends, and relationships have been destroyed because people have taken Satan’s bait, resulting in their own misery. This book helps believers to recognize that bait and to realize that the REAL enemy is not those who have hurt us, its Satan!.
