The White Horse King
On 2/2 Michael Combs wrote: The Vikings were ravaging the land. The Anglo-Saxon people are disorganized and without a true leader. An unlikely king rises up from the ashes of his homeland to save his people from a pagan enemy. Through strategy and faith this king becomes the only king of Anglo-Saxon decent to ever be named “the ... The White Horse King: The Life of Alfred the Great
The Liturgical Year
On 11/29 Michael Combs wrote: This really should have been called "Ode to the Liturgical Year", the first 80-90 pages are flowery language on what makes the Liturgical Year special. For what it is Joan is an excellent writer, but that wasn't what I was looking for in this book. I was wanting a step by step explanation of the the ... Ode to the Liturgical Year
Green
On 11/6 Michael Combs wrote: Ted Dekker is easily one of my favorite authors. His Red, White, & Black books sucked me in to his universe and for the most part anything he puts out I eagerly purchase and read. Green came up on the Thomas Nelson book review page (brb.thomasnelson.com) and I thought “SWEET FREE TED DEKKER BOOK!”. I ... Green by Ted Dekker
Everyday Greatness
On 9/16 Michael Combs wrote: So I want to really like this book. The stories in it are great. Some make you laugh and some make you cry. There were many moments in this book in which I was reduced to a blathering mess. However, that is what you expect from reader’s digest. Short easy to digest stories that really hit the spot. ... Everyday Greatness
Fearless
On 9/8 Michael Combs wrote: Fear. Its something that everyone deals with, for better or worse. Max Lucado aims to give Christians some ammo in the fight. Well can you? I can’t, because I know it will always be there. However, Max doesn’t think you can get rid of fear completely either. Fear is something we will have as long ... Are you Fearless
Between Wyomings
On 7/19 Michael Combs wrote: I had never heard of Ken Mansfield before reading this book, I didn’t realize how much he influenced most of the 60’s in terms of music. He was there when all the most amazing things in music history were happening…and it all let him down. This book is really a road journal of a man that has experienced ... Between Wyomings

I'll Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse
On 5/26 Michael Combs wrote: Overall this book has a lot of good information about how to be successful in business, unfortunately you can find it in a lot of business books. What makes this book worth reading is the stories Michael Franzese has to tell about his life in the mob. I would much rather it had been completely about that ... Good stories, Same information
This Is Your Brain On Joy
On 4/22 Michael Combs wrote: Wow, be prepared for your brain to be full to the brim with information about…itself! This book provides actual pictures along with information to show well functioning brains and not so good brains. The thing I got most out of the book was a wealth of resources to take care of my brain. From nutrition to ... A Great Resource for Brain Health
The Unseen
On 2/22 Michael Combs wrote: Another book that I have read for the book bloggers program at Thomas Nelson. I admit at first this book felt like an R.L Stine. Goosebumps kind of genre. The writing felt pre-teen to me. However if you can get through the average story for the first 200 pages, the second half of the book ... Book Review: T.L. Hines “The Unseen”
The Chronological Study Bible
On 12/3 Michael Combs wrote: So this is my first review as a book review blogger for Thomas Nelson, and I can say I am really excited.
