Simple Short Christian Book Reviews

When I pull up to the library I feel a smile spread over my face, broad and strong.  Libraries make me feel happy!  When my generous husband pulls through the drive-through at the library and hands over his card, he states matter of factly, “These are for my wife”.  I am so excited to share with you even more Simple Short Christian Book Reviews!

I average at least fifty books checked out of the local public library at a time.  Plus the free books I receive for doing book reviews and there is quite a stack next to my bed.  Here’s the thing though, I absolutely LOVE reading. It brings me peace on a long hard day, allows me to travel and learn new things about cultures right from my comfy bed, picks just the right dinner recipe.

Here are my picks and all reviewed from a Christian Worldview…

 

 

Simple Short Christian Book Reviews

 

COOKBOOK

The Oh She Glows Cookbook is currently my favorite “go-to” cookbook, enough said.  Well, not really, this is a vegan cookbook.  I tested most of the recipes and all were good, most were great and some were excellent.  I just hosted a wine and wellness get together and made the recipes from The Oh She Glows Cookbook, I felt like a famous chef the way people where complimenting me.  The most requested recipe…Life-affirming warm nacho dip!

 

 

FAITH

Discipleship: What It Truly Means to Be a Christian–Collected Insights from A. W. Tozer  What does one say when reviewing a Tozer book?  This is a classic for a good reason.  Its a must-read, the end.

 

 

Always Be Ready: A Primer on Defending the Christian Faith I was pleasantly surprised by this concise book by John Warwick Montgomery, author of sixty books.  I learned a few things and greatly enjoyed my time thoughtfully reading.  This book would be especially helpful for high school students.  It’s not long at 105 pages and it holds your attention. Help for approaching the command to always be ready.

 

 

HOME DECOR

I will just state this upfront.  I am a big fan of Ros Byam Shaw, a wonderfully descriptive home decor writer.  For all farmhouse decor groupies, check out a truly British take on farmhouse style.  Pour yourself a cup of tea and enjoy Perfect English Farmhouse!

 

 

FICTION

Chasing Mona Lisa is written by one of my favorite authors Tricia Goyer who teams up with Mike Yorkey to write yet another fascinating and thrilling historical novel set in the tumultuous World War II.  You will never guess how this one ends!

 

 

FAMILY

 The Mission of Motherhood: Touching Your Child’s Heart For Eternity was the first Bible Study I ever taught.  I found myself rereading it once again to seep myself with the principles I so highly value as a parent.  If you are a mother and have not yet read this book, stop what you are doing and purchase The Mission of Motherhood.  Your welcome.

 

 

HEALTH

My father died of Alzheimer’s Disease and i carry the gene for APOE4.  I am passionate about getting the truth about Alzheimer’s Disease out there.  I still here intelligent Doctors say that there is just nothing we can do about Alzheimer’s.  They are simply wrong.  Check out 30 years of research from Dr. Dale E. Bredesen out of UCLA.

HOMEMAKING

Not your everyday homemaking book.
