Surfing for God
On 3/6 Chad Feight wrote: I recently read "Surfing for God" by Michael Cusick and thoroughly enjoyed it as well as noticed its possible implications in the lives of many people. Cusick uses both personal examples, biblical research, and secular science to help readers overcome online porn addictions. While I would have probably ... Great book - few flaws
Our Last Great Hope
On 5/9 Chad Feight wrote: I recently finished reading "Our Last Great Hope: Awakening the Great Commission" by Ronnie Floyd and was so impressed that I thought I would pass on the recommendation to you. Not Expecting Much I have to be honest, I didn't expect much. I liked the topic and it is something that God has really been ... Great, passionate book
Why God Won't Go Away
On 8/10 Chad Feight wrote: I recently read "Why God Won't God Away" by Alister McGrath and I have mixed feelings about it. I like the occasional apologetic to be able to help students strengthen their faith, but this one was only OK. McGrath had some good points and fine arguments, but they weren't really the ones that I was hoping ... Nice book, but not full apologetic
It's Not About Me
On 7/5 Chad Feight wrote: I recently read "It's Not About Me" by Max Lucado on my Kindle (great father's day present!) and I am somewhat confused. Allow me to explain. I enjoy a good Max Lucado book from time to time. I find his writing style is compelling and his way of explaining scripture, while not usually to deep, is memorable. ... Good thoughts, slightly confused though
Take Action Bible, NKJV
On 6/19 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a copy of the "Take Action Bible" (NKJV) and I really enjoyed it. There isn't a lot of deep commentary, but there are a lot of great stories about people who actually lived out what the Bible teaches. The "Take Action Bible" is a different take on your typical study Bible. Basically, ... Not deep study, but nice stories
Max On Life
On 6/8 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a copy of “Max on Life” by Max Lucado from Thomas Nelson publishers and I actually really enjoyed it. I don’t mean to sound surprised, but after reading many of Lucado’s books as soon as they were out, I had begun to grow tired of his style and sometimes his lack of depth. ... Good, NEW stuff from Max Lucado
Read and Share: The Ultimate DVD Bible - Volume 2
On 3/16 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a copy of “Read and Share: The Ultimate DVD Bible – Volume 2″ by Gwen Ellis from Booksneeze.com and I have to say, I have mixed feelings about it. The book itself is nice and colorful and simply tells Bible stories. However, when I put in the DVD to try, it was slow, boring, ... Good book, bad DVD
Couples Who Pray (Hardcover)
On 1/19 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a free copy of "Couples Who Pray: The Most Intimate Act Between a Man and a Woman," from Thomas Nelson Publishers (in exchange for this honest review) and I must say, I was impressed. When I first received the book, I'll admit, I was skeptical. I know you're not supposed to judge ... Must-have book for married couples
Voices of the Faithful - Book 2
On 1/10 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a free copy of "Voices of the Faithful - Book 2: Inspiring Stories of Courage from Christians Serving Around the World" by Beth Moore, Kim Davis, and the Inernational Missions Board. I have to say, this book was OK for me. I like the idea behind it - stories from missionaries around ... http://www.amazon.com/Voices-Faithful-Inspiring-Stories-Christians/product-reviews/0849946239/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
The Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible, NKJV
On 12/21 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a free copy of "The Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible" from Booksneeze.com. I was actually pretty excited to receive this. I have enjoyed Max Lucado's writing style over the years. And, if you couple that with the Bible, you should have a great resource that makes it even more enjoyable ... Great Bible - lackluster study
The Principle of the Path
On 12/6 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a free copy of "The Principle of the Path" by Andy Stanley from Thomas Nelson Publishers. I must admit, I was impressed with this book. Andy Stanley is quickly taking John Maxwell's place as the leader's leader. His church is impressive and his communication skills are top-notch, ... Great book by today's church leader
A Year with God
On 12/1 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a copy of "A Year With God" devotional by R.P. Nettelhorst from BookSneeze.com (A Thomas Nelson Publishers Review Service). After reading through it, I have to say, this book is a good quality book. However, I believe it has been marketed incorrectly. There are a lot of good devotionals, ... Good Book, Incorrectly Marketed
Transforming Church in Rural America
On 11/18 Chad Feight wrote: recently received a copy of "Transforming Church in Rural America" by Shannon O'Dell from Thomas Nelson Publishers. I requested this book because I live in Iowa and have several pastor friends that live in the center of rural America. I do not, however, live in a rural area personally. I did, however, ... Nice, solid read
The Grace of God
On 11/18 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a copy of "The Grace of God" by Andy Stanley and was thoroughly impressed. I must admit, I am a fan of Andy Stanley's stuff (the more I read and listen to, the bigger fan I am), but I wasn't expecting a lot of new content out of this book. I was really expecting something with basic ... Great read, nice insight
The Gospel According to Jesus
On 11/18 Chad Feight wrote: This is one of those books that I have a hard time recommending, but still found value in it. I enjoy having my faith and ideas challenged in order to strengthen my walk with God. I don't, however, appreciate authors that take the "everyone's got it wrong except me" approach to theology and book writing. ... Good challenge, wrong attitude
A Leader's Heart
On 9/27 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a copy of "A Leader's Heart: 365-Day Devotional Journal" by John Maxwell.

Your Money God's Way
On 9/12 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a copy of “Your Money, God’s Way” by Amie Streater from Thomas Nelson Publishers. Streater writes this books to overcome the “7 money myths that keep Christians broke.” She writes with an honest, straight-shooter style, presenting much of the same information you may have ... Amie Streater's "Your Money God's Way" is not bad, but not your best option
Outlive Your Life
On 9/10 Chad Feight wrote: I recently received a copy of "Outlive Your Life" by Max Lucado from Thomas Nelson Publishers. The concept of the book is that what you do now, should "live" beyond your own life. Lucado encourages us, in his usual style, to serve and to love now to leave a godly legacy. I must admit, I have long been ... Max Lucado's style comes through again in "Outlive Your Life"
You Changed My Life
