The Sweet By and By
On 1/5 Dan Roark wrote: We all have our past that we keep put away, and the characters in The Sweet By and By, written by Sara Evans, with Rachel Hauck, and published by Thomas Nelson, are no different. Our past makes us who we are. Jade Fitzgerald finds this out as the story unfolds. As Jade’s like unfolds, she finds herself ... The Sweet By and By - Book Review
Between Wyomings
On 10/24 Dan Roark wrote: Between Wyomings, My God and an iPod on the Open Road, written by Ken Mansfield and published by Thomas Nelson, is a very interesting read - to say the least. Particularly if the reader grew up in the sixties and seventies, or is merely interested in the culture (music in particular) of that time in ... Between Wyomings, My God and an iPod on the Open Road - Book Review
Fearless
On 9/9 Dan Roark wrote: Fearless, by Max Lucado, published by Thomas Nelson, is as timely as it’s name suggests. Many types of fear haunt people throughout the world today.

The Noticer
On 4/27 Dan Roark wrote: The Noticer, by Andy Andrews, published by Thomas Nelson and released tomorrow, is an interestingly quick read. Yet I found myself not able to read it in one sitting. The plot was rather predictable. Jones (no Mr., just Jones) is the noticer, a seemingly ageless old man who appears in the life of people ... The Noticer - Book Review
Christianity in Crisis: The 21st Century
On 3/12 Dan Roark wrote: Christianity in Crisis 21st Century, written by Hank Hanegraaff, published by Thomas Nelson, is a book every Christian should have on his or her bookshelf. I wished I had read Hanegraaff’s first book, Christianity in Crisis when it was published in 1993. It would not have changed my views, but would ... Christianity in Crisis 21st Century
The Word of Promise The Gift of Psalms
On 2/4 Dan Roark wrote: I received the Word Of Promise The Gift of Psalms from Thomas Nelson Publishers yesterday. Since I am in the midst of several projects, I skimmed through the book, then popped the first cd into the computer - planning to read/hear one psalm and devotional and put the book aside for the moment. I found ... The Gift of Psalms - Book Review
