What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do
On 2/8 Deborah White wrote: "What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do" was a quick, easy read with practical advice that was easy to understand. The book was aimed at those who "don't know what to do" about their problems anymore. The advice started with God, was God-focused, and was based on Scripture. However, the book didn't ... Practical advice
How to Reach Your Full Potential for God
On 12/21 Deborah White wrote: The title of this book is excellent in describing who it's for. If you want to reach your full potential for God, then this book is for you. It's written in a style of a coach (Dr. Stanley) telling an athlete (the reader) how to win the game (a life serving God) with the game plan coming from the Bible. ... Does what the title says
The Sacred Meal
On 11/23 Deborah White wrote: This book is part of a series exploring traditional spiritual disciplines. However, it's not about the historical or Biblical view of the Holy Communion since the author doesn't believe that the Bible is accurate or that the Christian religion is true. So the book is a memoir about what Communion has ... Not based on the Bible or historical understanding of Communion
Five Cities That Ruled The World
On 11/3 Deborah White wrote: "Five Cities That Ruled The World" spent about 40 pages per a culture giving a quick overview of thousands of years of history for the Jews, Greeks Romans, and British, and hundreds of years of history for America. Each section was topped off with a very brief summary of the lasting legacy of the corresponding ... A Brief History of Five Cultures
Called to Worship
On 9/28 Deborah White wrote: Your time would be better spent in searching the Bible for what it says on worship rather than in reading this book. Several years ago, my mother studied the Scripture for what the ultimate purpose of mankind was, and she learned some wonderful things about worship. I did a similar study and thought ... Book Review: Called to Worship
Fearless
On 9/8 Deborah White wrote: I chose Fearless to be our November/December book club discussion book because it's God-focused, Scripture-focused, and deepens the reader's trust in God. With so many people telling us that we need to fear (not to mention give them money to make the fearsome thing go away), sometimes it's hard to keep ... Book Club Pick: Fearless
God's Little Princess Devotional Bible
On 6/22 Deborah White wrote: God's Little Princess Devotional Bible is a fun, easy to understand book full of Bible stories and related activities (plays, songs, lessons about what the Bible verses teach). The lessons are good ones with an obvious or underlying God/Christ focus. The plays are Bible-verse based and look simple enough ... Book Review: God's Little Princess Devotional Bible
Nelson's Illustrated Guide to Religions
On 6/9 Deborah White wrote: This book is a good introduction to modern religions, but I was disappointed by how much critical information was left out in favor of less important information (in my opinion). Also, the organization wasn't consistently handled as to which religions were covered in which section and what information ... Nelson's Illustrated Guide to Religions by James A. Beverley
Face of Betrayal
On 4/26 Deborah White wrote: This well-written book is a detective novel. It reads a bit like a true crime novel except, of course, the story is fictional. The depth of "behind the scenes" detail given for the three main character's jobs and for the city they lived in made the story feel very realistic, like it could really have ... Face of Betrayal by Lis Wiehl with April Henry
The Rivers Run Dry
On 4/10 Deborah White wrote: This book is a Christian suspense novel. There was plenty of conflict and trouble in this novel, both from allies and enemies, so the suspense started high and stayed high. The setting was vividly realized which created a sense that this really could have happened. However, for me, the author's frequent ... The Rivers Run Dry by Sibella Giorello

In The Shadow Of The Sun King
On 11/22 Deborah White wrote: This novel is a historical fiction, but I'm also listing it under romance since that plays a major role in the story. The world-building was very good and vividly paints a picture of what life was like at the time. The pacing is excellent, and the story is suspenseful--or, at least, should be considering ...
