Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life edited by Bryan Curtis

OK i just got the book in and read through it. honestly, i was expecting a more or less self-help type of book. this book though is compilation of quotes and saying that pertain to different aspects of a work environment. its not broke into specific genre its just 164 pages of quotes. that being said if you are someone who like quotes from famous persons, then you'll like this book. i am only moderately interested in them, but i liked some of them I.e. "no man ever listened himself out of a job" quoted from Calvin Coolidge. they might be good to put on sticky notes and give Lil inspiration to yourself through the day.

all in all id say its a fair book,(might be better if i loved quotes), i would have like to see them grouped by subjects, kinda like Leaves of Gold. but i found the quotes making me think a Lil so its okay.

"if i could ask god anything" by kathryn slattery

ok this is a nice Q&A book geared to children. its more for the high age group i think more for 5+ (mainly because younger one ask why alot...lol) but it covers alot of the questions that arise like "who is God?, Jesus?, Holy Spirit?" of course not all of them are theological, ie.."what did Jesus wear?, is Jesus' last name Christ?" , and what i think every kid goes through at least once (maybe even some adults too), "Help! What should I do when I think a church service is boring?"

i think itll be an interesting read for children and parents alike. it will help parents to explain somethings in a way that kids will understand and parents may not feel so put on the spot. kuddos kathryn , i really enjoyed this book and im sure many others will too.

"The Voice" new testament, commentary bible

i read " the voice" which is a commentay bible that is written uniquely as a screenplay.. has a very even and flowing layout with inserted blocks with background notes like a study bible. for me it would be more used as a compainon of, not instead of, a traditional bible. It uses newer termonology, that may be lilte confusing for some..i.e...in romans 1:1 says pual was " called by God to be His emissary" instead of apostle. but all in all i found it to be a good trans lation of the bible and a good read for those who, like me, like haveing a movie play out in their minds.

books reviews

I going to be using this blog as a form to review soem books i have been and will be reading.(along with other items) ive been reading a book entitled "lessons from the carpenter" by H. Michael Brewer. so far it very... eye opening, i have a love for wood myself, and its moving to see how jesus is the master carpenter, transforming the raw material of our lives, in to the beautiful masterpieces through the uniqure creation process that wood needs. so far ive gotten bout half way through it, and its hard to put down. i would recamend reading it to anyone that has a love of Christ and wood..
