YOUR Favorite Christian Books Too!

i am currently reading David Limbaugh's Persecution: How the Liberals are Waging War Against Christianity.

boy, for anyone who believes christians in the good old USA do not suffer true persecution (river, i'm talking to you buddy!), this book is a real eye opener. just one example, briefly, in galveston texas, a judge ruled that any valedictorian or other speach-giver in a graduation ceremony tried to lead a prayer or mention God or Jesus in their speach would be fined and face up to six months in jail... and then ordered that a law enforcement official be present at every graduation ceremony in the city to enforce that court order.

in another example, high school students gathered around the flag pole one morning before school and were passing out youth bibles they had purchased with money they had raised. the school administration called the police, and the cops showed up to confiscate all the bibles and arrest anyone who continued to pass them out.

Lady C:

Thank you so much. This one sounds like a keeper. I've added to my list to purchase next month. LORD willing! *smile* My christian library is very broad in scope. I'm forever learning!

How is "Recapture the Wonder"?  What is it about??

It's not a fiction book - Ravi is a theologian and scholar I've admired for many years (one of his best works is "Deliver Us From Evil"). The book is about how as adults, we've become jaded by the world. We've experienced it all, so we've lost the wonder in the everyday little things. It helped remind me that God is such a creative and awesome God, that there is wonder everywhere, all around us.

The song "God of Wonders" now takes on new meaning to me.

Here is more info and a review I found on Google if you're interested:

Question:

Has anyone read "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkerson and "Waking the Dead" by John Eldredge?? If so, what were they about, and did you like them??

I am also currently reading Fasting for Spiritual Break Through by Elmer L. Towns

I also finished recently the Revolutions in World Missions that Gospel for Asia offers for free.

My Utmost for His  Highest would be by Oswald Chambers   

Hip, are you reading the devotionals that JohnS posts, or the whole book?

Thanks for telling the author.....I forgot who it was

My mother bought me that devo book for my 16th birthday. She got it on-line for like $5 or something. I like it.

My twin sis Kim, has read Waking the Dead, by John Eldridge<sp? I will ask her what it is about. I know she liked it, but not sure what it is about.

I have Waking the Dead but have not read it yet. Did you read Wild at Heart by the same author?

Thank you so much for your quick response. Also, I appreciate your clarification that it is non-fiction vice fiction. I just so happen to read ONLY non-fiction christian books. My wife loves the opposite! *lol*

I'm VERY familiar with Ravi, and have watch him many times on television (as well as viewed his website). The book sounds very interesting, and I will add it to my list of near future purchases.
