Examine Your Faith!

examine your faith by pamela christianExamine Your Faith!: Finding Truth in a World of Lies Well-meaning people want to believe that all roads lead to the same God and heaven. But wanting something to be true is far different from truth lining up with reality. Unless you make an intentional effort to examine what you believe and why you believe it, it’s quite possible you are living your life on the basis of a lie, and don’t know it. • What is truth? • Is it relative or absolute? • Is it personal or universal? • What are the differences among the various religious faiths? Can they be blended? • Are we creating faith—a belief system—that is impotent by trying to accept all religions as equal? (This book has been endorsed by Josh McDowell, Dr. Craig Hazen, and Dan Story.)

Advanced Copy - The Emotionally Destructive Marriage

I had the opportunity to read an advanced copy of The Emotionally Destructive Marriage.  It's a great book written by author Leslie Vernick.  This book is targeted towards a woman audience though, so personally I would not say that it is a perfect read.  The key points covered by this book include learning how to identify damaging behaviors; gain the skills to respond wisely; promote healthy change; stay safe; understand when, why, and even how to leave; as well as recognize that God sees and hates what is happening to one in a bad unfortunate situation.

The author is a licensed clinical social worker and relationship coach.  She has over 30 years experience in the field and previously written books on this subject.

The book is divided into 3 parts, in a total of 13 chapters. The first part discusses how to see your marriage clearly.  Are you in a good marriage?  Or bad?  The second part talks about change and the theory behind how things can get better.  The third part talks about steps you can take to drive change.

1) Identify the problem.
2) Come up with solutions.
3) Execute!

It's like a how-to guide to resolve marriage and relationship issues!  Good read!

Note: I received a review copy of this book from the publisher Waterbrook Multnomah.  Check it out!

Fearless about SEAL Team SIX

Fearless about SEAL Team SIX.  A deep story about Adam Brown, a Navy SEAL who fought in Afghanistan.  It is a story about the extremes in the military and how that tied into faith, family and love.  While in the military, not only was there a war against the enemy, there is a war against one's own habits and impulses.  In this story, we see one's drug addiction and perseverance to become a leader, the best of the best.  While combating personal impulses and the enemy, there is a decision that needed to be made, what is the right thing to do?  Is utilitarianism a good ideal to follow?  Should we think of the big picture and forget the ultimate sacrifices?

Eric Blehm is a vivid writer about military stories from the recent Afghanistan war after 9/11.  In the beginning of the book, we already find out that the main character, Adam Brown dies.  So, we already know what happens. But the author is able to craft the story in fine words, such that the suspense remains!

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher Waterbrook Multnomah.  Check it out!

God's Solution to America's Economic Crisis

The author claims that this book is God's solution to America's economic crisis.  Economics should not be a political issue.  It shouldn't have to deal with left-wing or right-wing.  It should follow the teachings of the bible.

The book is divided into nine parts which applies the beliefs of God to the view points of different groups of people, ranging from America's founders, Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes, FDR, Alan Greenspan, Jim Wallis, Karl Marx, IRS and everyday Americans like you and me.

In summary:

"The greater the freedom, the greater the wealth. The greater the government, the greater the poverty."

YES - FREE MARKET IS GOOD!  It is what makes America powerful and strong!

To learn more about the book, I would check out the awesome website - http://www.godonomics.com/

Chad Hovind  is a great author!
