Worthy Publishing’s Jerry B. Jenkins’ Dead Sea Rising novel review – Rating 9.8
The Christian Reviewer

3y ago
I was contacted by Worthy Publishing as they were preparing to launch a brand new book by Jerry B. Jenkins.  In fact, this one book is the start of what could end up being a 6 or 7 book series entitled “The Dead Sea Chronicles“.   As most of my readers know, I don’t read too many novels for my reviews, but yet again, I couldn’t pass up another opportunity to read a Jerry Jenkins novel. He is a fantastic author and you may know him from the bestseller Left Behind series that he co-authored with Tim LaHaye. If you would like a very fast-paced novel to read which will turn into a m ..read more

James Bruyn’s 31 Days with God at Work devotional review – Rating 8.2
The Christian Reviewer
by theChristianReviewer
3y ago
I received a request from James Bruyn to do a review of his new devotional “31 Days with God at Work“.  More often than not, I do reviews of Bibles, Study Bibles, and Bible Reference materials, but I agreed to take a look at this brief devotional and do a review of it.  Overall, it is a nice devotional geared toward your faith in the workplace. I would give this devotional book an 8.2 out of my normal 10 point rating scale.  On a “5 star” scale that some websites use, I would give it a solid 4-star rating. ________________________________________ The opinions I have express ..read more

I requested a copy of the book “The New Guidebook for Pastors” by James W. Bryant and Mac Brunson because I was interested to see what kind of advice this book may have in it for newer pastors and even for more experienced pastors. I received a copy of this book from B&H Bloggers / B&H Academic for me to do a review on it. In full disclosure, I was not required or requested by B&H Academic to write a positive review. _______________________________________ I would give this book an 8.5 out of my normal 10 point rating scale.  On a “5 star” scale that some websites use, I would ..read more

NavPress’ Keep Christianity Weird Book Review – Rating: 9.5
The Christian Reviewer

When I saw the title of this book, which is “Keep Christianity Weird: Embracing the Discipline of Being Different“, it piqued my interest and made me want to look a little more into it.  I have to admit that often, I will look at the book on an online retailer first because sometimes you can read a few pages there to get an idea if it’s something you really are interested in or not. I did that with this book and I was still very intrigued, so, I decided to request a review copy from the publisher. This book is very challenging and is designed to get you to think outside of your normal v ..read more

Thomas Nelson’s 30 Days to Understanding the Bible review – Rating: 8.7
The Christian Reviewer
by theChristianReviewer
3y ago
I was asked to be part of a book launch for Max Anders’ new book which is the 30th anniversary expanded edition of “30 Days to Understanding the Bible”.  This book is written very well in sort of a study-type approach with lessons and questions and/or quizzes with some level of repeated exercises to drive home the learning topics. If I were to categorize this book, I would say it is kind of a Bible guidebook that doesn’t go deep into topics, but rather gives an excellent overview of the entire Bible to help you understand the concepts that are in the Word. If you are interested in that ty ..read more

B&H Academic’s Deep Preaching book review – rating 9.7
The Christian Reviewer
by theChristianReviewer
3y ago
I have read many books on the topic of preaching. Most of those books have dealt with the mechanics of creating a sermon, with a small portion dealing with the life of the preacher.  “Deep Preaching: Creating Sermons That Go Beyond the Superficial” by J. Kent Edwards takes a different approach by focusing a majority on spending intimate time with God before you start the process of actually writing the sermon. To me, “Deep Preaching” is not one of those “get this book instead of those books on mechanics of sermon writing“, but instead is more of a prequel to those books in ..read more

Thomas Nelson’s NKJV Spirit-Filled Life Bible review – Rating: 8.7
The Christian Reviewer

I received a copy of Thomas Nelson’s New King James Spirit-Filled Life Bible Third Edition from their BookLook Bloggers Program (HarperCollins Publishers) for me to do a review of it. I would classify this one as a Study Bible, even though it is not sold with “Study” in the name of the Bible.  It has the typical study notes at the bottom of the pages and other study tools throughout like most Study Bibles have. Please note that my rating of this Bible is based on the design and the physical characteristics of this Bible only.  If it were based on content, I would not rate it as ..read more

Holman’s CSB Study Bible review – Rating 9.6
The Christian Reviewer

3y ago
I was very pleased when I received a copy of the Holman CSB Study Bible in genuine goatskin leather. I have been curious for some time now on how well this Bible compared to some of the other nicer Study Bibles like Crossway’s ESV Study Bible of which I personally have an imitation leather Personal ESV Study Bible that I have been using for some time now. I have to admit that I am very impressed with the CSB Study Bible. I  requested a copy from B&H Publishing (Holman Bible Publishers) to see how this particular Study Bible stacks up in regards to ease of use and more import ..read more

I have done a few reviews of Hendrickson/Rose’s Deeper Connections series of DVD based Bible Studies.  When I saw the Tabernacle DVD Bible Study kit available for review, I was very interested in checking it out.  While it isn’t one of the Deeper Connection series that I have grown very fond of, this one had caught my attention as well. Similar to the Deeper Connection series, this review will be covering many of the different items included since this is the complete kit that I am reviewing.  While I didn’t receive everything that is included in the DVD Kit, I did receive the ..read more

Thomas Nelson’s Ever Faithful 365-Day Devotional review – Rating: 7.9

I have not had a chance to do much reading of Dr. David Jeremiah as of yet.  I was intrigued to see what one of his devotional books might look like.  So, I requested a copy of this book for review from Thomas Nelson’s BookLook Blogger program.  This particular devotional is a year-long daily devotional with 365 short devotional entries – one for each day of the year. Well, technically, there are actually 366 devotions because it does have one in there for Feb 29th (leap year). Overall, I was impressed by the quality and ease of use that this devotional provided with one except ..read more
