Any Christian who hasn't heard a song by Keith Green has pretty much been living under a rock. His music shook the church as a whole back in the 70's, and continues to move people in powerful, God-inspired ways even today. But how many of us know the story behind the man? Keith's wife Melody has written their story from the very beginning of their Christian walk, documenting the journey God took them on up till - and proceeding - Keith's tragic death in a plane crash that also took the lives of two of their children. One might assume this to be just another ordinary, typically dry biography of some face behind a career. But it's not. It's far from it.

In Beyond the Shadowlands, Wayne Martindale compiles all of C.S. Lewis' writing on heaven and hell into one condensed, fantastic book. Though Martindale's own voice shines through, the book is mainly a prism that draws a rainbow of C.S. Lewis' writing together into a single beam of brilliant light. Both Lewis' rainbow and Martindale's prism are delightful on their own, but together I can't help but recommend this book.

Before the days of television and internet, children still needed ways to be occupied. (Imagine being a babysitter without the instant availability of YouTube or Disney channel to keep the kids busy!) In a world with none of these modern conveniences, children turned to books as a primary source of entertainment. Rudyard Kipling's Rikki Tikki Tavi is the essence of children's literature: an action packed story filled with adventures and heroics.

Do you know Jesus? I mean, do you really know him? Could you tell me what kind of person he was? What was his personality? If I asked you to describe Jesus to me like he was your best friend, could you do it? I know I couldn’t. Honestly, I don’t know Jesus as well as I often say I do. Neither do most people in the church. Jesus was a compelling, strong, “brilliant, untamed, tender, creative, slippery, irreducible, paradoxically humble” man, willing to leave heavenly glory and step into time, space, and the human body for the purpose of saving the world from sin. If you don’t know that Jesus, I strongly recommend you read Philip Yancey’s The Jesus I Never Knew.

The Quest for The Red Sapphire is a medieval fantasy novel written under the pseudonym ‘Rival Gates’. Linvin Grithinshield is a half-elf with a human father and elven mother. A young adult, Linvin no longer lives at home and has spent finished military training school. As a general, Linvin is seen preparing for battle in the first chapter. Unsurprisingly, this battle is won. As Linvin’s army celebrates, he receives an urgent message stating his father is missing and presumed dead. Consequently, Linvin travels back home to be with his mother and uncle. About halfway through the book, the Red Sapphire is mentioned; a sort of ultimate power which draws heavy... parallels to The Ring in LOTR, without the addictive side effects.

“What is Dr. Geisler warning the Christian community about in his book Chosen But Free? A new cult? Secularism? False prophesy scenarios? No. Dr. Geisler is sounding the alarm about a system of beliefs commonly called “Calvinism”. He insists this belief is “theologically inconsistent, philosophically insufficient, and morally repugnant.” (From the back cover) It is with that backdrop, comes a reply by one of the most well known Reformed Apologists in the field today, Dr. James White, as he sets out to paint a clear and pointed picture of what Calvinism actually is through logical process, exegetical precision and bold refutation of Dr. Geisler’s unfair and unfounded assertions. This is not a book for everybody’s tastes, but everybody should read it—especially those in disagreement or question of the Reformed system of faith.
