The Voice New Testament Bible - Book Reiview

Book Review The Voice New Testament Bible I have reviewed the The Voice New Testament Bible by looking through the book as one would when looking to by a Bible. I read through various parts of the book and was impressed with the layout. First off I would not place this in a category with most Bibles. This is the Bible in an artistic interpretation. I would recommend this more as an outreach tool, for students and those looking to make the Bible come alive on stage. The format is different from the typical Bible that you may be used to using. It uses a dialog format familiar with screen plays. In the areas of the Bible where individuals are talking they lay out the dialog by character. They keep with a more NIV or NLT translation verses a Paraphrase such as the Message. I felt that this would be great to just sit down and read, but would not use it as a means for serious study. I would defiantly recommended this for children, students, actors, or anyone that just wants to sit and read the Bible in a fresh new way. Features include: --Italicized information added to help contemporary readers understand what the original readers would have known intuitively --In-text commentary notes include cultural, historical, theological, or devotional thoughts --Screenplay format, ideal for public readings and group studies --Book introductions Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program.

Has God Spoken?: Book Review

Has God Spoken?: Proof of the Bible's Divine Inspiration By: Hank Hanegraaff This book is a work of apologetics and read as such, filled with stories of those opposed to God and the argument that God exists. The book is written on a highly intellectual realm, and reads as a seminary text. Some of the ideas behind the book such as the use of acronyms are helpful in trying to obtain the information (MAPS – manuscript, archaeological, prophecy, scriptural synergy). True to form with many apologists, the book is geared to the likes of upper level college and professor discussions. I found that the book is not to be taken lightly and would not recommend it to just anyone. There are several stories through the book that I found myself unfamiliar with, so I felt lost and confused. I believe that as time goes on, I will gain from the book. I think that fans of Ravi Zacharias would enjoy the flow and feel of the book. I believe God has spoken, but he does not use a language that is above the everyday person. I understand that most apologists battle college professors, but it is the average person that has more day to day contact with unbelievers.

The Final Summit by Andy Andrews Book Review

The Final Summit by Andy Andrews


This is the latest install of a series of books around the character David Ponder. I have not read the book preceding this book, but I am going to go back through and read them. The series revolves around time travel and meeting those of significance before us such as Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill, but as also meet one of the archangels Gabriel.

At first I found it difficult to read because I don’t have the back story. So once I got through the first few chapters, I found that I didn’t want to put it down. The book is a series of conversations between David Ponder and other past greats in history (you need to read to find out who, since it is a mystery until they appear). The conversations are to answer one question; What does humanity need to do, individually and collectively, to restore itself to the pathway toward successful civilization?

Know this book may not be for everyone, but those that enjoy history and wonder how those from the past might address those of our time; this book is up your alley. I found myself being drawn in to the conversation, almost as if I were there watching. I would recommend this book, but would recommend that you start with the other Andy Andrew books first, to get the back story.

Nick of Time by Tim Downs

Review


The newest installment of “The Bug Man” novels, finds Nick getting married. But, will the happy day actually arrive. After Nick gets a letter from a friend to meet at a month Vidocq meeting, he leaves four days before he is to get married. Nick soon discovers his friend is dead. The investigation leads Nick to the Poconos and into a heap of trouble. Alena, Nick’s fiancé is in search of Nick after he fails to call her. Conspiracy with a Sheriff of a small town and FBI soon engulfs the story plot. Will Nick find the answers he is in search of, will Alena locate Nick, and will the wedding happen.


The story draws you in and holds your attention. The smart sarcastic humor is refreshing, compared to so much stupid humor in our culture. The plot of the story twists through out. The end of the book sets you up for the next in the series, but I won't spoil it for you. This is the first book in the Bug Man series I have read, but I plan on going back and reading the other books. Excellent read.
