If you know me, you know that I love to read! Really, I just plain love books, and everything to do with them! LOL.

Here on this page, you’ll find a bunch of Christian books ~ both fiction and nonfiction ~ that I’ve really enjoyed, or that have somehow made an impact on me. ;)

velvet_elvisVELVET ELVIS: REPAINTING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH by Rob Bell (nonfiction) ~ I’ve read this book twice, now. The first time I read it just because I’d found it online, and it sounded intriguing. The second time I read it because I’d heard that Rob Bell was part of the “Emerging Church” conversation, and I wanted to see for myself if that was true. After rereading this book, though, I can honestly say that I don’t believe that Rob falls into line with the ECC. Maybe in some ways he agrees with it, but not entirely. Rob still believes in the inerrancy of the Bible, so in that respect, he’s not EC.

barbarian_wayTHE BARBARIAN WAY by Erwin Raphael McManus (nonfiction) ~ I just love how “out-of-the-box” writers like Mr. McManus are! They aren’t afraid to tell it like it really is!

 

 

scandalous_freedomA SCANDALOUS FREEDOM by Steve Brown (nonfiction) ~ And, again, another writer who isn’t afraid to talk about stuff that most Evangelicals have avoided, to this point… real life is messy! Deal with it!

 

 

ladymilkweed_klassenLADY OF MILKWEED MANOR by Julie Klassen (fiction) ~ I’m loving that Christian authors are getting “edgy”… they’re showing that the Christian life isn’t always perfect and sin-free… Christians are still ‘human’, so they are still going to mess up from time-to-time. But, God will still love them, and still help them be overcomers in the end run. ;)

 

backward_lifeTHE BACKWARD LIFE: IN PURSUIT OF AN UNCOMMON FAITH by Jarrod Jones (nonfiction) ~ Jarrod’s book really inspired me to think about the Christian life differently. Highly recommended!
