The
Case for Christ
by Lee Strobel
The Case for Christ records Lee Strobel's attempt to "determine if
there's credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God."
The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal
editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger.
Each interview is based on a simple question, concerning historical evidence
(for example, "Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?"), scientific evidence,
("Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?"), and "psychiatric
evidence" ("Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?"). Together,
these interviews compose a case brief defending Jesus' divinity, and urging
readers to reach a verdict of their own. Amazon.com

Wild
at Heart: Discovering The Secret of a Man's Soul
by John Eldredge
If Christian men are going to change from a pitiful, wimpy bunch of
"really nice guys" to men who are made in the image of God, they must reexamine
their preconceptions about who God is and recover their true "wild" hearts,
writes bestselling author John Eldredge in Wild at Heart: Discovering a
Life of Passion, Freedom, and Adventure. Eldredge throws down the gauntlet--men
are bored; they fear risk, they refuse to pay attention to their deepest
desires. He challenges Christian men to return to authentic masculinity
without resorting to a "macho man" mentality. Men often seek validation
in venues such as work, or in the conquest of women, Eldredge observes.
He urges men to take time out and come to grips with the "secret longings"
of their hearts. Although the book succeeds best in its slant toward a
male audience, it also strives to help women understand the implications
of authentic masculinity in their relationships with men. Eldredge frames
the book around his outdoor experiences and appealing anecdotes about his
family, sprinkling the text with touches of humor and overlying everything
with heartfelt passion. Even as he mixes eclectic ideas about masculinity
from popular movies such as Braveheart with classic words from Oswald Chambers,
and lyrics from the Dixie Chicks with stories from the Bible, he points
to only one answer for men searching for their true wildness of heart.
Writes Eldredge, "The only way to live in this adventure ... with all its
danger and unpredictability and immensely high stakes ... is in an ongoing,
intimate relationship with God." --Cindy Crosby - Amazon.com

In
This Mountain
by Jan Karon
Father Tim Kavanagh and his wife, Cynthia, return from Whitecap Island
to "the little town with the big heart" in Jan Karon's seventh novel in
the bestselling Mitford series, In This Mountain. Retirement holds challenges
Father Tim hasn't anticipated, and even as Cynthia's career as a children's

turning out. However, the beloved villagers of Mitford are on hand to offer

in themes of grace and forgiveness, and offers hope for even the most difficult
situations. Fans will be delighted to find that this installment of the
series is full of the engaging descriptions and charming depiction of life
in Mitford that first won Karon the loyalty of legions of readers. --Cindy

The
Red Tent
by Anita Diamant
The red tent is the place where women gathered during their cycles
of birthing, menses, and even illness. Like the conversations and mysteries
held within this feminine tent, this sweeping piece of fiction offers an
insider's look at the daily life of a biblical sorority of mothers and
wives and their one and only daughter, Dinah. Told in the voice of Jacob's
daughter Dinah (who only received a glimpse of recognition in the Book
of Genesis), we are privy to the fascinating feminine characters who bled
within the red tent. In a confiding and poetic voice, Dinah whispers stories
of her four mothers, Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, and Bilhah--all wives to Jacob,
and each one embodying unique feminine traits. As she reveals these sensual
and emotionally charged stories we learn of birthing miracles, slaves,
artisans, household gods, and sisterhood secrets. Eventually Dinah delves
into her own saga of betrayals, grief, and a call to midwifery. "Like any
sisters who live together and share a husband, my mother and aunties spun
a sticky web of loyalties and grudges," Anita Diamant writes in the voice
of Dinah. "They traded secrets like bracelets, and these were handed down
to me the only surviving girl. They told me things I was too young to hear.
They held my face between their hands and made me swear to remember." Remembering
women's earthy stories and passionate history is indeed the theme of this
magnificent book. In fact, it's been said that The Red Tent is what the
Bible might have been had it been written by God's daughters, instead of
her sons. --Gail Hudson - Amazon.com

The
Sacred Romance Drawing Closer To The Heart Of God
by Brent Curtis, John Eldredge
In The Sacred Romance, authors Brent Curtis and John Eldredge inspire
readers to enter into the greatest romance of all time--one with God. Many
Christians have tried to satiate the hunger of their hearts by substituting
the love of God with things from this world. Since "our heart is the key
to the Christian life," this often leads to spiritual stagnation and unhappiness,
while God, the "Great Lover," attempts to lavishly adorn us with His perfect
love. Doubting God's goodness coupled with fear of trusting Him blind the
believer and prevent him from being wooed by God into a rich relationship.
Life can soon become empty, cold, and worthless. Through personal narrative,
Curtis and Eldredge take turns convincing the reader not only that God
is good, but that recklessly abandoning oneself to Him results in a fulfilling
life of abundance and awe. In this portrayal of God's character, the obvious
error lies in believing that He could need anything from His creatures,
or that He could be "hurt" by their unrequited love. On the whole, however,
this is a call to a more passionate relationship with the lover of our
souls. A follow-up book, The Journey of Desire, was written by John Eldredge
after Brent Curtis's tragic death. --Jill Heatherly - Amazon.com
