The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People
The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People

Review:Excellent book by eye witness Tim Reitermann. I used to think Jim Jones was just crazy, but this book points out the evil in this man from a very early age. If you are at all interested in the phenomenon of The People's Temple, THIS is the definitive work. Read it. Read more

HUSH
HUSH

Review:Riley has a hot as coals man in her life named Finn who doesn't believe much she says. But what a fire they have together. Best book I've read in a while. Loved every moment, every twist and turn looking for the money. But loved the hot flying sparks between these two. Goodness if he was only real and belonged to me. Read more

The Secret History of Christ & The Shocking Legacy of the Grail
The Secret History of Christ & The Shocking Legacy of the Grail

Review:This brilliant book was highly controversial when it came out, and for good reason. It calls into question much of what is generally accepted in mainstream, traditional Christianity--including the notion that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected, and that he never married.

Beautifully written and incredibly well-researched, this is a must-read for any biblical scholar who is not afraid of alternate theories RE Jesus' life. A fascinating read, and it's obvious that Dan Brown's work ... Read more

The 40 Most Influential Christians . . . Who Shaped What We Believe Today
The 40 Most Influential Christians . . . Who Shaped What We Believe Today

Review:I enjoyed reading about notable Christians of the past, some I am familiar with and others not. I did, however, find my mind wandering as I was still reading the words. I wouldn't say I would recall very well what I read for the most part. Read more

The Miseducation of Cameron Post
The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Review:Really enjoyed this book. It was banned by some school districts in my state, which is why my book club decided to read it. It was well written and I cared about the main character a great deal as I read her story. Read more

My Story of Heartbreak, Redemption, and True Love
My Story of Heartbreak, Redemption, and True Love

Review:Very interesting to hear her upbringing and while she doesn't ever bash her parents, you can read between the lines and figure out that she wanted their time and attention more than anything. Money couldn't buy those. Emily grew up while raising her daughter and it seems her mom also grew up and matured alongside Emily as well. It was interesting to read how she met Ricky and how she fell head over heels in love with him. One could sense that he was her constant, her steady hand -- she could... Read more

Finding God in All the Wrong People - Accidental Saints
Finding God in All the Wrong People - Accidental Saints

Review:I thoroughly enjoy the author's down-to-earth faith, devoid of religious politically correct language, and simultaneously truly compassionate with the "salt of the earth". From my perspective, she "gets it", or should I say, gets who Jesus truly is. Read more

Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship

Review:The book, "Barking to the Choir" is a spectacularly moving book. I wrote notes on many of the pages as I read the book. In fact, I was so mesmerized, I purchased five more copies to give to others. The messages of the book deeply reached me personally and for the work that I do. Read more

The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation - Trail of Tears
The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation - Trail of Tears

Review:My parents have had this book in their library for many years. When I saw a used copy in excellent condition for under $8.00, I was excited to add it to my library. This is a telling book of the outrageous atrocities waged against the Cherokee Natives who had embraced white men's ways and were still sold out. This book stands on its own merit. Read more
