What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qu'Ran

What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qu'Ran is by James R. White.  I was very excited about this book when I decided to review this book.  I thought it would be great to learn about the Qu'Ran.  When I opened the book and read the introduction, James R. White warned that the Qu'Ran was very theologically heavy.  He was not kidding.  I started reading the book and just could not get into it.  There was just too much information in it for me.  James White tried to make the Qu'Ran more understandable but I still could not get into it.  I have to say if you are actively working  with Muslims and trying to convert them to Christianity, you will find the book useful.

Trouble in Store ~ Carol Cox

Trouble in Store by Carol Cox was a good book.  I love the double meaning behind the title.  The story is about Melanie Ross and Caleb Nelson who both think they have the right to own a mercantile.  As you can see, there's trouble in store literally and figuratively.  Kudos to Carol Cox on an awesome title!

My favorite type of book is historical Christian fiction.  This book definitely fits the bill.  The only kind of book I love more than a historical Christian fiction book with suspense.  Trouble in Store has a mystery with murder and mayhem ensuing.  The battle between Melanie and Caleb  and the mysterious deaths that seem to be connected to the mercantile keep you engaged in the story.  Carol Cox has definitely produced a winner with Trouble in Store!

Review of Secrets to a Happy Life by Bill Giovannetti


Secrets to a Happy Life was actually very good. When I started it, I was afraid it was going to be a feel good and always be positive book. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I read it.  The book was actually very good and useful for all believers and unbelievers.

Bill Giovannetti takes a Biblical character and applies how we can follow his example today.  That Biblical character is Joseph.  The use of Joseph's life to describe a happy life in God was very good. Joseph had many bad thing happen in his life but remained positive. Bill Giovannetti does a good job of explaining how we can always follow Joseph's example and live a happy life and trust in Christ no matter what the circumstances.

If you are looking for a book to help you have a better outcome on life this is it.  Secrets to a Happy Life is not necessarily about having a happy life but improving how you view your circumstances.  It helps you see how there is always a bigger picture.
