The book of the day is Forbidden!
If you love Christian Fiction, there are few writers today as talented as Ted Dekker. His tales of drama, suspense and humanity flow from cover to cover. If you haven’t done so already, look into getting your hands on a copy of his latest achievement, Forbidden.
Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood
I just received word that Dennis Rainey’s latest book on manhood, Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood, is currently being made available as an eBook download for only $1.99! Here is the book description: What’s the most courageous thing you’ve ever done? As men, all of us face decisions in life that demand courage. Big or little, complex or straightforward, these choices—let’s call them battles—matter a great deal. One courageous choice leads to another; tomorrow’s integrity depends on today’s …
Ted Dekker – Red (The Circle Series)
This is the third book I have read in this series and I continue to be amazed at the skill with which Ted Dekker wields. I have never before come across a series of books that can truly be read in any order, but because this is the Circle Series, each book stands on its own, but is truly enhanced by the others. Although each book in the series so far has left a lasting impression, the vivid pictures of …
Ted Dekker – Black (The Circle Series)
Few books manage to not only grab my attention, but to also keep it from the first page to the last. Ted Dekker is a marvelous storyteller, a creator of worlds and master at characterization. After having finished Black, I feel as if I know the characters in both realities. Yes, I said both. While many authors write trilogies or similar series that involve alternate realities, the two worlds in the Circle Series seem to be occurring simultaneously, yet they …
Hardcover or paperback? No thanks, I'll take Kindle, wait, no Nook
The promise of technology was almost universally to improve our lives and make things simpler. Although 2010 is drawing to a close, the paperless office typically drowns in more paper now than in any preceding decade. And speaking of paper, as an avid reader and writer, the world of published media is now poised to create more confusion than ever before. Ask what your favorite reader and/or writer may like as a gift, chances are that there are more than …

The Shack, by William P. Young
Few books reach the amount of controversy that overshadow this interesting fictional tale. When I first picked up the book, I did so because of the attractive cover. As I am want to do, I read the blurb on the back and I became further interested. As the cashier ran the book over the scanner she exclaimed, “You are going to love this book! I couldn’t put it down.” I knew of course that I would be able to put …

Darby’s Rangers
[amtap amazon:asin=0345465539] Anyone interested in the genesis of the modern US Army Rangers will love this book. As I read each page of Darby’s Rangers, I felt more like I was reading a well-written fiction account of World War II. The amazing part was, this was NOT fiction. The descriptions and stories about the Rangers and their experiences is superb! My Rating Please join the discussion about Darby’s Rangers

B. Cornwell, "Rebel"
[amtap amazon:asin=0060934611] As a historical fiction writer myself, I am quite a sucker for just about any Civil War era fiction book I see. It was a suprise that I was given the entire Bernard Cornwell “Starbuck Chronicles” series as a gift. At my very first opportunity I peeled open the cover to book 1; “Rebel”, and poured myself into it. It didn’t take long for Mr. Cromwell to transport me back in time to a favorite setting. Soon after …
