How to Begin the Christian Life by George Sweeting is billed as a book to help new believers grow in their faith. Personally, I think it goes beyond that but more on that in a moment. True to the book’s down-to-earth nature inside, the exterior is a simple design. A kneeling man is featured on top of all three sides of the cover. In the top right hand corner of the front cover is a circle with “35th anniversary revised and updated” printed inside. The book is divided into 12 chapters that deal with living the Christian life. They answer such questions as what is a Christian, how does one grow, how to pray and how to be sure of one’s salvation. Topics include the Holy Spirit, Bible study, carnality vs. spirituality, the church and finances. The last chapter is a collection of Scripture verses that Sweeting encourages the reader to memorize which he divided into topics. The uses of this book go beyond its design as a guide for the individual new believer. It can be us...

Chris Fabry's Not in the Heart Free on the Kindle for a limited time 62 of 67 reviewers give it a 4 or 5 stars' rating 2013 Christy Award winner! Truman Wiley used to report news stories from around the world, but now the most troubling headlines are his own. He’s out of work, out of touch with his family, out of his home. But nothing dogs him more than his son’s failing heart. With mounting hospital bills and Truman’s penchant for gambling his savings, the situation seems hopeless . . . until his estranged wife throws him a lifeline—the chance to write the story of a death row inmate, a man convicted of murder who wants to donate his heart to Truman’s son. As the execution clock ticks down, Truman uncovers disturbing evidence that points to a different killer. For his son to live, must an innocent man die? Truman’s investigation draws him down a path that will change his life, his family, and the destinies of two men forever. The Renovation: A Project Restoration...

The study is good and thorough. It takes a group/individual th rough the events of Abraham's life from before his call in Genes is 11 to the testing of Abraham in Genesis 21 and 22 in relationship to his two sons, I s hmael and Isaac (listed here in order of birth) .  I thought it was peculiar, however, that the writers include the passage 11:27-32 but fail to mention that Terah led this journey to Haran where he died and that was the place from which Abram received his call (Gen. 12). Some features I would like to highlight:   As with the rest of the Logos software, verses can either be seen by ho vering your mouse over the blue verse text or cli cked on in order to open it in a new window, from which the user can use other Logos tools on the verse a nd /or its context.  For Log os users, th e verse s will appear in your favorite version.   The graphics within the study are great. They can be clicked in order to be made more prominent and ...
