Reviews by Brent Baxter
How to Reach Your Full Potential for God
On 2/2 Brent Baxter wrote: “How To Reach Your Full Potential For God” by Charles F. Stanley is a very useful book. What separates this from other self-help and how-to-reach-your-full-potential books is simple- it’s the last two words: “FOR GOD.” That’s Dr. Stanley’s focus in this book. I have several of Dr. Stanley’s ... Worth Reading!
Love & Respect
On 12/7 Brent Baxter wrote: “Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires, The Respect He Desperately Needs,” by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, is a very useful book. The premise is that a wife’s need for unconditional love is just as important to her as her husband’s need for unconditional respect is to him. It’s a simple but ... Much love for "Love & Respect!"
Fearless
On 9/8 Brent Baxter wrote: “Fearless” by Max Lucado, a mainstay of the Christian book world, is a worthwhile read. Like all of Lucado’s work that I’ve read, it’s an easy read. And the theme of the book- fear and how to live a life without fear, is certainly relevant and current. Mr. Lucado isn’t my favorite Christian ... Relevance for EVERYONE!
Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl
On 8/3 Brent Baxter wrote: “Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl” by N.D. Wilson was, as the title implies, quite a ride. Like it’s namesake, this series of seemingly stream-of-consciousness, poetic, dark and lighthearted essays spin the listener in small circles while arcing around larger themes of life and death, God, etc. Okay, ... The Title Fits!
The Principle of the Path
On 6/12 Brent Baxter wrote: “The Principle Of The Path” by Andy Stanley is a great read. It’s the first book I’ve read from Mr. Stanley, and I have to say, his writing stands right alongside his father’s work (Dr. Charles Stanley is my favorite preacher). However, it is different- more youthful, more contemporary in ... The Principle Of The Path
Kiss
On 4/28 Brent Baxter wrote: “Kiss” by Ted Dekker and Erin Healy is a pretty good read. It’s the third book I’ve read by Dekker, the others being “Three” and “House.” I’d say this lands somewhere in the middle. While it’s ending didn’t blow me away like “Three,” I felt the plot was more solid throughout. ... Solid Read
The American Patriot's Almanac
On 1/14 Brent Baxter wrote: “The American Patriot’s Almanac: Daily Readings on America” by William J. Bennett and John T.E. Cribb is an excellent read! It’s set up, as the title implies, as a daily reader- one story from American history for each day of the year. I really enjoy the setup of this book. The book as a whole ...
