Reading Catch-Up...
This summer, besides launching this site and writing all the content you are hopefully enjoying, I caught up on some reading and am glad to say most of the books were worthwhile and beneficial. I do not sell or formally endorse these, they are just suggested reading and as always, they should be read in light to and compared to the Holy Bible for accuracy.
Here are my one to three line reviews:
Scribbling in the Sand by Michael Card. (2002) Refreshing book on faith and the arts along with letters from professional, seasoned creatives in the faith. The font is a little hard to read and there is a companion workbook.
*What in the World is Going On? 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Afford to Ignore by Dr. David Jeremiah. (2008) Fabulous, well-organized book with a easy format about the end-time event timeline.
*Epicenter 2.0: How the Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your Life by Joel Rosenberg. (2006, 2008) An updated version of his original book and good companion book to the above. Also very informative and more in-depth. Companion DVD is also excellent and highly recommended. (His newest DVD and book are called Inside the Revolution which I haven't read/seen yet.)

*These two books and the DVD are vitally imporant resources to help us understand how what is happening presently will impact us and usher in the Lord's return for the Church.They are must-reads in my humble opinion. I couldn't put them down.
Your People Will Be My People: How Israel, the Jews and the Christian Church Will Come Together in the Last Days by Don Finto. (1984) A summary of the history of Israel with prophetic portions which have already been realized.
Still in progress with reviews to come:
Believing God by Beth Moore
A Fragile Stone: The Emotional Life of Simon Peter by Michael Card and Brennan Manning. An enjoyable look at the many facets of the apostle's life and character.
The Creative Call: An Artist's Response to the Way of the Spirit by Janice Elsheimer. We are goin through this in our group named A Second Renaissance. If you are interested in joining in, we are on chapters three and four and have an online page where we discuss it, share projects in progress and prayer requests. Look for it on the left hand side of the page.
If you have any suggestions on books along these themes, please comment. Thanks and may your reading be blissful!
Believing God by Beth Moore and The Creative Call, continued.
Believing God by Beth Moore delivered. It is a practical manual for putting feet to your faith. Highly recommended for new and seasoned believers alike.
The Creative Call continues to challenge and propel me into a deeper understanding of my creative process. A review of the chapters is discussed in detail on the Second Renaissance page. We are on chapters 5-8 and the conclusion. We will start Madeline L'Engle's Walking On Water in mid January.
