I grew up attending a private, Christian school and I was convinced that I had heard this story, and read it, enough times. I finally picked the book back up and was surprised how much I had forgotten and how many things I never picked up on before. This is a great book for all […]

This is a great little book if you are trying to exercise your creativity or just come up with some ideas for a story. I have found that just flipping to a random page often reminds me of past ideas I’ve had or helps me create new connections between subjects that I had not thought of before.

Twenty years have passed since I first read the Chronicles of Narnia, but I recently replaced a lost set and have started reading them again. I am halfway through book two, Prince Caspian, and will post reviews of each book as I go. Here are a few thoughts I have so far about the series

Tactics is a great book on an apologetic approach that you will actually use. Gregory Koukl has done a great job outlining a plan that is easy to use and very effective. Most apologetic books outline arguments that you commonly run into, but very little is said about style and presentation. This book takes the opposite
I have read more than my share of business books, most of which seem to repeat the others in new, less-interesting ways. The information in these business books is valuable, but repetitive and, ultimately, less rewarding the 18th time you read the same thing by a different author.

This book consists of a collection of stories that have previously appeared in The New Yorker, all written by Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell is a talented writer who is able to draw from many disciplines and change the inane to the interesting. These shorter works are disconnected, only loosely fitting into the three categories that Gladwell
