Another christian book

The other side of the river by Kevin Reeves

When mystical experiences and strange doctrines overtake his church, one man risks all to find the truth...a true story.

 

[Psalm23Rick]

I'm reading several.. One is called "Sons of Zadok" by CR Oliver (kindle), and another on the kindle format entitled "Divine Healing for Spirit, Soul, and Body" by Matt Evans and Diane Moyer among others. Both are non-fiction.

The last book I just finished is called Just Do Something. Great book and I do highly recommend it. Written by Kevin DeYoung. You have to read the book to fully grasp what his point is. Hint: he is not saying at all not to seek God's will in prayer (quite the opposite). Don't let the title fool you. It's a great book.

From the Back Cover

Hyper-spiritual approaches to finding God's will don't work. It's time to try something new: give up.

Pastor and author Kevin DeYoung counsels Christians to settle down, make choices, and do the hard work of seeing those choices through.

Too often, he writes, God's people tinker around with churches, jobs, and relationships, worrying that they haven't found God's perfect will for their lives. Or-even worse-they do absolutely nothing, stuck in a frustrated state of paralyzed indecision, waiting...waiting...waiting for clear, direct, unmistakable direction.

But God doesn't need to tell us what to do at each fork in the road. He's already revealed His plan for our lives: to love Him with our whole hearts, to obey His Word, and after that, to do what we like.

No need for hocus-pocus. No reason to be directionally challenged. Just do something.

"Finger Prints of the Gods"
"Fingerprints of the Gods" is a non-fiction research work published in 1995 by Graham Hancock. This book is subtitled "The Evidence of Earth's Lost Civilization." The work is challenging because of the breadth and depth of knowledge presented. However, the author writes in a down-to-earth first person storyline style to tell about the expedition he and his photographer-wife Santha undertake from Peru to the Yucatan and Egypt. Her photographs of sites they visit are interspersed among his descriptive writing about the historical, archaeological and astronomical data and theories discussed. Hancock uses simple, straightforward language to communicate his clear concepts about a lost people.
This one is not a Christian book.

Stories that take you to the arms of God.

I'll hold you while it hurts.

By arthur a milward

The author writes of his childhood and friends he made growing up in a huge english estate, then about his son who died of lukemia at age 4 and the children who valiantly faced death in the terminal ward of the hospital. The author is sda (seventh day adventist) so not sure about how differently they believe about certain things ...I know they have a doctrine about 'soul sleep' but this isnt a book about that its mostly stories about children and the need for a saviour.
