Book Review: The Gospel for Muslims

On paper, The Gospel for Muslims: An Encouragement to Share Christ with Confidence by Thabiti M. Anyabwile seems like the perfect book for our time. We are seeing more and more Muslims turn to Christ. As our world becomes smaller and smaller, it is much more likely that we as Christians will have the opportunity to proclaim the gospel …

Book Review: The Stations of the Cross for Children

I teach first-grade faith formation, and I love teaching my students about different aspects of the Catholic faith. Lately, we have been talking about the gospel message, but I could tell that the idea of Christ dying for us was one they (understandably) couldn’t really grasp.

Book Review: Shadows of Hope

Shadows of Hope by Georgiana Daniels is one book you should definitely NOT judge by the cover! Though the cover and the description make it seem like this book will be an overly dramatic novel with a cliche ending, this book is actually an engaging and very well-written novel.

Book Review: Unplanned

Fleeing Iran across the mountains into Turkey, she spent months in the terrifying Agri prison before a miraculous release …

Book Review: They See a Family

Chick flicks are my guilty pleasure. Despite the cheesiness and weaving in and out of realism, there is something enjoyable about seeing two people build a loving relationship. I love to read, but it is a lot more difficult to “fast-forward” through inappropriate scenes in a romance novel so I usually stay away from them …

Book Review: The Saint vs. The Scholar

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. With a strong subtitle like “The Fight Between Faith and Reason,” “The Saint vs. The Scholar” by Jon Sweeny quickly captures readers’ attention. Though the exploration of a fight between two prominent men from Church history …
