Reviews by Kathy Leicester
Winston Churchill
On 3/8 Kathy Leicester wrote: The Christian Encounters book "Winston Churchill" by John Perry is an easy and compelling read at 158 pages. It is the first book of this type that I've read, and the first by this author. It almost demands to be read at one sitting. The author cites his references at the back of the book, and based ... Winston Churchill - Christian Encounters
Nelson's Complete Book of BIble Maps and Charts, 3rd Edition
On 2/23 Kathy Leicester wrote: Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts, Third Edition is the first book of this kind I have reviewed. The maps and charts are very well done and make this a very useful and worthy addition to any study library. My only criticism is that the inclusion of commentary that already exists in a decent ... Great Addition to a Study Library
The Long Way Home
On 1/26 Kathy Leicester wrote: I’ve read one other book by Andrew Klavan (his most recent “Empire Of Lies”) but this book, “The Long Way Home” is the first book of the series “The Homelanders” that I’ve read.

Obstacles Welcome
On 1/7 Kathy Leicester wrote: “Obstacles Welcome” is the only book by the author that I have read; it is one of many I’ve read concerning success principles and leadership and management techniques.

The White Horse King
On 12/21 Kathy Leicester wrote: “The White Horse King” by Benjamin Merkle is the first book I’ve reviewed by this author, and the first book of its kind that I have read. It is a narrative history (lots of words, not many dates) of the life and achievements of King Alfred, called The Great. The title of the book is taken from ... Great Story - Well Written
Five Cities That Ruled The World
On 11/29 Kathy Leicester wrote: I just read “5 Cities that Ruled the World” by Douglas Wilson. It is the first book of the author’s that I have reviewed, and the first book of this type that I have reviewed. It was easily read, and might be a good companion to a more rigid book of history. The five cities discussed are Jerusalem, ... 5 Cities That Ruled The World - A Review
Kabul 24
On 10/20 Kathy Leicester wrote: I just read “KABUL24” by Henry O. Arnold and Ben Pearson. The book recounts the 2001 Taliban kidnapping of eight Shelter Now International aid workers. The prologue is one of the most compelling chapters, beginning as it does by telling the story from the perspective of an Afghani woman being stoned. ... KABUL24 - Book Review
Fearless
On 9/8 Kathy Leicester wrote: This is the first book by author Max Lucado that I have read and reviewed. His reputation and the topic prepared me to enjoy it. I recommend it for use as a workbook or a devotional--to be worked with or read a small section at a time, either alone or with a group. The book begins with the chapter ... "Fearless" by Max Lucado - Work Through Your Fears
Real Church
On 8/18 Kathy Leicester wrote: This is the first book by author Larry Crabb (who has written twenty) that I have read and reviewed. Because the topic of “real church” resonates with me I was eager to examine Crabb’s discussion on what makes a real church and how we can find it. The book is organized in five parts: the ... Real Church by Larry Crabb – No Church
Between Wyomings

Ken is on a spiritual journey to find himself and believes that physically revisiting the places of his life will help him move ... "Between Wyomings" by Ken Mansfield
