NCV Dad's Bible
On 8/27 Aaron Reddin wrote: First of all, reviewing a Bible is a totally awkward thing to do. How can anyone in their right mind critique God’s Word? Exactly. If this wasn’t a “study” Bible or “commentary”, I wouldn’t have even thought about it. Clearly I did not read every word in this book. It would have taken forever. Also, ... Dad’s Bible – The Father’s Plan, Notes by Robert Wolgemuth
Jesus Manifesto
On 5/31 Aaron Reddin wrote: Holy crap!! Can I start a book review about Jesus by saying that? I hope so, because holy crap! If ever someone has effectively addressed what many of us see as the most crucial issues that are growing and spawning in the Church, these two men have. Jesus made it clear exactly who He is. But when ... “Jesus Manifesto” by Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola
After the Hangover
On 5/6 Aaron Reddin wrote: Just being honest, I think a hangover might be more enjoyable than this book. I guess it’s accurately titled because that’s exactly how it left me feeling, like I had just finished an 8 hour hangover. But, you may like it. If you’re a total political junkie you would most likely eat it up. Especially if ... After the Hangover: The Conservatives’ Road to Recovery by R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.
The Map
On 3/27 Aaron Reddin wrote: I don’t know very many people who can tell you what manhood is, or what it is not. That’s including grown “men”. The subsequent consequence is that since older men don’t have a grasp on manhood, they surely haven’t taught their sons or younger men how to do this ... The Map: The Way of All Great Men by David Murrow
Free Book
On 2/2 Aaron Reddin wrote: I’m gonna go right ahead and tell you that you may not want to read any further than this if you are easily offended, because I’m gonna make a statement about this book that may make you never come back to my blog. Ok, if you’re still reading then you must really want to know what ... FREE BOOK by Brian Tome (@briantome)
The Sweet By and By
On 1/5 Aaron Reddin wrote: Yes, I really read this book. Yes, I really liked it. I stepped WAY outside my box with this one, as I usually stick to non-fiction books that I think can be of some practical benefit to myself or others. Little did I know, that I could find plenty of practical benefit in a not-so-masculine novel written ... The SWEET By and By – By Sara Evans W/Rachel Hauck
Obstacles Welcome
On 12/27 Aaron Reddin wrote: I’m writing this review based on the following two statements: 1. This is the most motivating and impactful book that I read in 2009. 2. If you lead, or plan to lead, ANY type of successful organization, you NEED to read this book and reflect on your leadership styles while doing so. OK, here we go. As I began ... Obstacles Welcome by Ralph de la Vega
The Search for God and Guinness
On 11/30 Aaron Reddin wrote: While this book was highly informative from a historical standpoint, it was largely lacking on the “God” part. Let me explain: I learned more about beer’s history, how it was made, and how it shaped culture than I had ever known. I didn’t realize just how influential beer has been on the history of man. I ... The Search for God and Guinness by Stephen Mansfield
Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage
On 9/25 Aaron Reddin wrote: The two sexiest fat men alive, or so they call themselves. These guys are freakin’ hysterical!! I used to listen to their radio show every single morning when I lived in Nashville, TN. When I moved away from there, I lost that ability as their show is not picked up by anyone in central Arkansas. When ... Rick and Bubba’s Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage
Fearless
On 9/8 Aaron Reddin wrote: Let me begin by letting you know that I’ve never been a Lucado fan. It really doesn’t matter why, it’s just important that you know that. Here’s why. I loved this book! This may be one of the most insightful books that I’ve read in quite some time. You may not have ever given much thought ... FEARLESS by Max Lucado
The X and Y of Buy
On 8/8 Aaron Reddin wrote: This book was pretty OK for me. The effort to convince me that I evolved from cavemen over the last umpteen million years pretty much turned me off at first. But I kept going. Once I got past all that junk, I was totally intrigued. Here’s why: I’m a newly wed. I got married two weeks ago today. ... The X and Y of Buy by Elizabeth Pace
The Hole in Our Gospel
On 6/25 Aaron Reddin wrote: As someone who works in full-time outreach ministry, I was more than anxious to read this book. Those of us who work in this type of ministry tend to see the world a little different than most. That’s why I wanted to know what Richard Stearns would have to say about the gospel, especially if ... The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns
Christianity Today Study Series: Faith & Pop Culture
On 6/9 Aaron Reddin wrote: If we don’t know where we are, how can we ever get to where we are going? If we are unaware of our position on things, then how will we ever be able to effectively explain our faith to anyone? We won’t. To that end, it stands that we must explore ourselves and determine why we ... Faith and Pop Culture by Christianity Today
