Elijah A Man of Heroism and Humility -- Book Review

Elijah A Man of Heroism and Humility by Charles R Swindoll.

Book Five in the Great Lives series

This one is my favourite so far.

Highly Recommended.

Moses A Man of Selfless Dedication -- Book Review

Moses A Man of Selfless Dedication by Charles R Swindoll.

Book Four in the Great Lives series.

One small detail that would have been nice to get correct was the passage on page 260.  'Yes, some of us can accomplish a great deal single-handedly.  Sir Edmund Hillary, the famous British mountain climber who was the first to conquer Mount Everest, once said, "Even the summit of Everest is not beyond the capacity of an unassisted man.  But the risks are enormous."'

Sir Edmund Hillary is not British, he is a New Zealander.  Britain is in the Northern Hemisphere and New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere.  Quite a difference in geography.

Highly Recommended.

Joseph A Man of Intregity and Forgiveness by Charles R Swindoll.

David A Man of Passion & Destiny -- Book Review

David A Man of Passion and Destiny by Charles R. Swindoll.

This is book one in the Great Lives series by Charles Swindoll.  There are 9 books in all.  I came across this series in the Calvary Church library and decided to read all 9 books starting at David.

Very interesting, in depth look at the lives of these Bible characters.

Highly Recommended.

Miracles of Miracles -- Book Review

Miracles of Miracles:  A Muslim Woman's Conversion to Christ and Flight from the Perils of Islam by Mina Nevisa with Jim Croft.

This book was completely different from the previous one I read called 'The Imam's Daughter'.

In Miracles of Miracles, Mina, a Muslim woman raised in Iran in the Islamic faith, comes to find Christianity.  She gives great insights into the Islamic religion, & has has many miracles happen over the years when fleeing Iran.

Could not put it down.  Highly Recommended.

Highly Recommended.

Unplanned -- Book Review

unPlanned;  The Dramatic True Storey of a Former Planned Parenthood Leaders Eye-Opening Journey across the Life Line  by Abby Johnson

Abby Johnson quit her job in October 2009. That simple act became a national news story because Abby was the director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas who, after participating in an actual abortion procedure for the first time, walked down the street to join the Coalition for Life.

I remember this story on the 6 o'clock news so decided to read the book.  Interesting.  

The Night Shift: Real Life in the Heart of the ER -- Book Review

The Night Shift: Real Life in the Heart of the E.R. by Dr. Brian Goldman

Very realistic portrayal of life in the E.R on the night shift.

Recommended.
