Christian Book Reviews, Books For The Rest Of Us...Our Christian book reviews can be a tool to help you to guard your heart. We are told in Proverbs 4:23 how important it is to guard our hearts. We are told to do this "above all else" and exhorted to avoid wickedness. Sadly, today it is harder than ever to avoid that wickedness in selecting reading materials. With our Christian book reviews, we hope to let you know about the few well known releases each year. We also hope to let you know about many of the other quality Christian books that you normally wouldn't hear about.
EXTREME DEVOTION is a book about some of our brothers and sisters in Christ from around the world who pay a price for following Jesus. If you are from a country where you are free to worship God, this book will inspire you to share your faith. This will open your eyes to see how blessed we are but be careful because, after you read this book, you will never be the same. 23 MINUTES IN HELL by Bill Wiese was released in 2006 and was a NEW YORK TIMES best seller. Bill shares how he was taken to hell and how it changed his life. Although the story is hard to believe, we have to accept the fact that we do not fully understand God. The book is loaded with scripture and even if you are skeptical about Bill's account, it should show us how important it is to carry out the Great Commission. 90 MINUTES IN HEAVEN by Don Piper with Cecil Murphey is a wonderful book about the power of prayer. This is a true life story of a man that was killed in a car wreck and got a small taste of what heaven is like. After his short time in heaven, he was returned to earth and the book tells us of his physical struggles to get back to a somewhat "normal" life. He also lets us in on the mental struggles and his wrestling with trying to understand God's purpose. I was skeptical when I saw the book and it's title. I tried to find something that was not biblical in the story but (I'm glad to say) I could not. The story also is a good lesson about how God is in control of everything. We see that, even when we don't understand, God has His purpose for each of us and when we stay within His will great things happen. This is truly an inspirational story and is a good read. TORTURED FOR CHRIST by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand is the true story of life as a Christian behind the Iron Curtain. The book is still as relevant as when it was written thirty years ago. The stories of men and women standing for their faith are truly inspirational. Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian, endured fourteen years of imprisonment for his faith under the Communists. He was a leader in the underground church and finally started the Voice Of The Martyrs. They are dedicated to spreading the word about and encouraging people who are suffering for their faith.
