I just received “Don't Check Your Brains at the Door” by Josh McDowell & Bob Hostetler to receive as a part of Thomas Nelson’s Book Sneeze Program.
The book consists of forty-two chapters in six general topics dealing with common myths of the Christian faith on the topics of:
• God
• Jesus
• The Bible
• The Resurrection
• Religion and Christianity
• Life and Happiness
The book is geared to teens and a good start for them on this topic. The chapters grab the reader's attention and relate the idea well, ending with a section called "Brain Food", encouraging us to look in our Bibles and study the ideas a bit more in-depth for ourselves.
This is a good basic apologetics book with good information about the historical evidences of Jesus and His Resurrection. I enjoyed reading it and look forward to see what my teens reaction is to it as well!

Rumors of God
I just finished reviewing “Rumors of God - Experience the Kind of Faith You´ve Only Heard About” by Darren Whitehead and Jon Tyson as a part of Thomas Nelson’s book review program.
I feel one of the things the authors are trying to help remind us of, or for those who are not fully aware of, is to help us see through Bible passages how much more God has for each one of us in every area of our lives: our faith, our dreams, our life, and more. It’s easy to fall into ruts, and that includes our thinking as well, which is one reason I enjoy reading books of this sort – on the topic of faith – coming from another angle than the way I tend to see it. Books that help me think and reflect on my life, to see things from another angle, in a different way than I tend to see them and this has helped me to do just that in an easy to read format and not too deep or hard to grasp or understand.
