Neighbors and Wise Men

I received a complimentary copy from Booksneeze and I'm so thankful!  What a great book.  With a very honest voice the author details his fall from "grace" as he was stationed overseas as a missionary.  Who would think?  Yes, we are all alike and just because you're a missionary does not exempt you from having doubts about Who you believe and What you believe.
This is a very encouraging, thought provoking, challenging read.  I just finished this book and am planning on starting all over again to glean more!  If you are open to being challenged as to what, why and who you believe you'll enjoy this immensely.  Start the new year with some challenging thoughts and see if you don't become a better person because of them!

Voice Watermarked NT

I received a complimentary copy of this New Testament from Booksneeze.
It has been very interesting to read this version.  It brings a new take on a book that I have read many times. It is refreshing to read in a different style and phrasing that triggers new thoughts to ponder.  Unfortunately, it does not remember your last page read so I had to make a mental note of where I was for the next time I sat down to read.  Maybe this is just the sample copy problem.  It has interesting comments between verses from the authors that spark my interest from time to time.  It is an easy read compared to older versions of the New Testament.
