Massive Book Review Extravaganza

Work is slow right now, which means I have the unique opportunity to host the first annual Massive Book Review Extravaganza. Here goes nothing:


I'd describe this book as simple, relatively cheesy, and powerful. I may have just beens going through an interesting season with the Lord when I read this book, but it did minister to me greatly.

Rating: 7/10





One of the greatest books i've ever read...kinda. I only say "kinda" because I listened to it via audiobook on the many commutes between WV and Columbus. If you've never read or heard Piper before, this book will be a great intro into his heart and the theology that shapes his ministry and life.

Rating: 10/10


If you've read Keller before, you know he's a skilled writer, especially on the topic of apologetics. This book provides some money responses to objections to Christianity that I've heard from both educated and uneducated people at work. Bottom line, the world is believing that all paths to God are good, people are inherently righteous, and that there is no moral right and wrong. If you feel your answers to this are inadequate, check out the book.

Written by a Navy Seal returned from Iraq, "Lone Survivor" takes the reader from Seal training (which is most of the book) to Iraq where a team of Seals are ambushed in a mission gone bad. Only the author survived. The book was longer than it needed to be, very average in the writing, and has several areas of pro-America propaganda. However, it's a true story, and it's crazy.

Rating: 5/10


Amazing account of WWII. With the Old Breed is written by a marine who left college to join the battle overseas and is one of the few who made it through both the campaigns of Peleliu and Okinawa alive. The horrors of this war are almost unbelievable. It is excellently written and very engaging. I STRONGLY suggest you read this.

The author, a columnist for Christianity Today, traveled around the US to document the recent rise in Reformed doctrine. He stops at Mars Hill (Driscol), Southern Seminary (Mohler), and DG (Piper), soooooooooooo, I'm kinda biased in my review here. I liked the book, but I don't know if you'd enjoy it unless you love Reformed doctrine.
