66 Love Letters
On 3/17 Blair Roberts wrote: i wasn’t sure what to make of this book. if it was any old author, i would not have bothered, but larry crabb hooked me to his writing with “real church”, so i thought i’d give this a shot. crabb takes the 66 books of the bible and describes each one as a love letter ... 66 Love Letters: A Book Review
Tithing
On 2/3 Blair Roberts wrote: i suck at tithing. i often use the excuse that i will tithe in my own, disorganized way. buying coffee for people sometimes, and responding in emergencies…but generally, i suck at tithing. i have always wrestled with tithing as i like to hold onto things. i like my money. it makes me feel powerful to ... Tithing: A Book Review
The Selfless Gene
On 1/22 Blair Roberts wrote: i am tired of the debate. evolution vs. creation. god vs. satan. that’s how it feels sometimes when people talk about this, like our salvation and the fate of our world hangs in the balance. maybe i’m exaggerating a bit. my interest was piqued when i recently saw the movie “Creation”, about the life and ... The Selfless Gene: A Book Review
Where is God?
On 1/8 Blair Roberts wrote: the age old questions that everyone has asked at some point in their life. where is God? why does a loving God allow us to experience hard times? where is he in the midst of my suffering, and if he’s there, how do i find him? to be honest, when i first saw this book ... where is God?: a book review
The Liturgical Year
On 12/24 Blair Roberts wrote: Recently, I finished reading The Liturgical Year by Joan Chittister. It was a timely book in my life. While I didn’t find the writing to be the most exhilarating (which has more to do with her being a much smarter person than i am…) i did find that her effort to bring alive Christian tradition ... The Liturgical Year: A Book Review
The Sacred Meal
On 11/11 Blair Roberts wrote: i’m back with one more. i’ll keep taking free books as long as they’ll give them to me. the most recent book i got is called “The Sacred Meal” by Nora Gallagher. i don’t know much about her, and wasn’t awfully intrigued by the book title. there was just nothing better to pick at the ... The Sacred Meal: A Book Review
Green
On 10/12 Blair Roberts wrote: for my latest reading project, i jumped into “Green” by Ted Dekker. it’s a fantasy read, somewhere along the lines of chronicles of narnia, where the lines between reality and fantasy get blurry. its the 4th book in a series, the first three books being “Black”, “Red” ...

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
On 9/30 Blair Roberts wrote: this is the moment i’ve been waiting for. the whole reason i signed up for the Thomas Nelson Book Review Blogger. the new donald miller book. i wasn’t really sure what to expect. i love all of his previous works, but it has been a while since he put something new out. i had high ...

What Difference Do It Make?
On 9/28 Blair Roberts wrote: to put it very simply, this is a really cool book. it is the sequel to Ron Hall and Denver Moore’s previous work, “Same Kind of Different as me”, which introduces the story of the unlikely friendship of a millionaire and a homeless man, and how the compassion for the poor of Ron Hall’s wife ...

Fearless
On 9/8 Blair Roberts wrote: i recently finished reading “FEARLESS”, the new book by Max Lucado. i have never been much of a max lucado fan. it is not because he doesn’t have valuable stuff to say, but mostly i find his writing dry and boring. but he is one of the most famous christian authors to ever put pen ... Fearless by Max Lucado: A Book Review
Real Church
On 7/20 Blair Roberts wrote: recently, i became a member of a book club for bloggers. and as dorky as that sounds, i don’t really care because it means i get free books if i agree to do a review on them. so i am excited and thankful to the folks at thomas nelson publishers for letting me do this, ... real church: does it exist? can i find it?
