My opinion on books I am curently reading
I like these small books, they are concise, and gives me enough that if I want to dig deeper, I can get a bigger book on the topic, and maybe even by the same author.
Found: God’s Peace by John MacArthur is a book (88 pages excluding notes) I would read again to be reminded…
I downloaded a free ebook titled “Pipeline-Creating and Curating a Recruiting Culture” by Todd Adkins (Lifeway).
The title of the book drew me in because it’s exactly what our church needs. As with all books I read, I always hope for an easy answer to a complex problem, same as when I google for a…
In keeping with reading a book a month (small or big books count), I read A Practical Guide to Culture – Helping the Next Generation Navigate Today’s World, by John Stonestreet & Brett Kunkle.
The book breaks down the various issues of the day such as gender identity, addiction, racial tension. Then it explains the…

I have a hard time finishing this book. It started well, but I started skimming through it. It took me a long time to get through.
It’s not theologically accurate to the interpretation of the parable Jesus told, but that doesn’t bother me. I didn’t read it for it’s theological content. The book is more about Nouwen’s interpretation of the painting by Rembrandt.
Read more of “The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen”
Finally decided to read A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, and then I find out it’s a Disney movie.
I’m trying to read a book a month; so far I’ve read short books the first 3 months of 2018. The idea is not the length, but just keep reading stuff that I want to read. (check Book Review category)
I am trying to finish a book a month, in addition to other books I’m trying to read.
Cold-Case Christianity for Kids by J. Warner Wallace is a good introduction to anyone, including adults, who is interested in knowing a little about how you can know if Christianity is true. The methods are similar to a detective solving a mystery.
I read this small book many moons ago, I have it somewhere. I read it again this week, borrowed it from my daughter.
One insight: We already have the Holy Spirit, and that’s like having Jesus with us all the time.
If Jesus was with me, I would not be afraid of anything. I would…
George Muller is one of my heroes. Whenever I need inspiration to pray and have faith, I read his biography.
I happen to spot this biography in the church library, and again, I am inspired by Muller’s life and faith.
While we don’t put ourselves in situations where we need to pray for daily provisions…

Preface of the book: Today may be the enemy of your tomorrow. In your business and perhaps your life, the tomorrow that you desire and envision may never come to pass if you do not end some things that you are doing today.
I borrowed this book from the library after Bill Hybels referred to…
Pastor W lend me this book as I prepare to go to Short Term Mission in a couple of weeks.
I learned a lot from this book. A few highlights:
p.71-76 The incident of servanthood
Chapter 5 Short terms with a long term view
p.150 Don’t make the focus of your trip eliminating or managing…
