Jesus
On 11/15 Noelle the Dreamer wrote: The introduction alone of 'Jesus: A Theography' is worth reading this compelling book but the notes section are in itself an entire library! My advice is don't rush the experience! This most intriguing look at Jesus begins before time itself and it truly opens a wider scope of who Jesus Christ really ... This is a wonderful rendition of a man's life we revere as the Messiah.
The Searchers
On 8/17 Noelle the Dreamer wrote: 'The Searchers: A Quest for Faith in the Valley of Doubt' by Joseph Loconte describes what happened on the road to Emmaus and what it means to believers or non-believers. Most Christians know the story of two friends traveling on the road to Emmaus to a place of safety after witnessing the crucifixion ... A compelling journey for any spiritual traveler!
Mondays with My Old Pastor

Need You Now
On 4/27 Noelle the Dreamer wrote: Best selling author Beth Wiseman has delighted her many fans with tales of the Amish world for years.

Tyndale
On 2/6 Noelle the Dreamer wrote: With such a book description my curiosity was piqued and I requested this book knowing little else than the name of the man who gave the world the English Bible.

The Grace Effect
On 12/10 Noelle the Dreamer wrote: A picture, a line or paragraph, even the cover of a book can compel us to reach out and find out more about its history and such was 'The Grace Effect' for me!

Has God Spoken?

A Place Called Blessing
On 7/22 Noelle the Dreamer wrote: I have found on occasion that even 'Christian' novels will have a certain amount of violence or what I shall describe veritably, unchristian language or actions.

Sabbath

To most of us however the Sabbath is a day of rest but in Sabbath, his latest book, Dan B.Allender tells us how he sees this day as much more. Let's face it, during these busy times it is more ...

Saint Patrick
On 4/20 Noelle the Dreamer wrote: Saint Patrick by Jonathan Rogers separates the myths from the facts and you will find this book to be a very interesting account of the Saint.
