The continuing adventures of Kit and Mina and a cast of other characters that span through time and universes.

Surprised by Oxford
On 8/9 Reba Baskett wrote: Surprised by Oxford by Carolyn Weber is very much in the style of 'Girl Meets God' or 'Blue Like Jazz' but set outside of London in the quaint area of Oxford. I truly enjoyed Carolyn's journey from lectures in oxford to coffee's with friends. The book was a bit too long for me but even with the length ... Surprised By Oxford
The Seraph Seal
On 7/28 Reba Baskett wrote: The Seraph Seal by Leonard Sweet and Lori Wagner was not what I was expecting. I have read most of Leonard Sweet's books in the past and know that sometime he can be a bit wordy - but good. This book while it had a good story was way too long and had way too many characters and places and plots. I am ... The Seraph Seal
Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me
On 6/7 Reba Baskett wrote: Ian Morgan Cron wrote one of my favorite books ‘Chasing Francis’ (CF). CF had a huge impact on me and helped me see things differently so when I learned of his new book ‘Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me’ I was very intrigued. Thomas Nelson gave me a free e-book to read. This was my first ebook ... Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me
The Jesus Inquest
On 2/11 Reba Baskett wrote: First let me start by saying that I like Charles Foster and have read other books by him and enjoyed them with that being said, The Jesus InQuest* was not my favorite book. Foster sets out to show both sides of the resurrection of Christ. It is very technical and sometimes a bit dull. I hate in the ... Jesus Inquest
The Gospel According to Jesus
On 10/12 Reba Baskett wrote: I have read several books by Chris Seay and always liked them. I have followed what his church is doing in Houston (to a degree) and always thought it was amazing. I thought the 'Voice Project' that he was involved in was amazing. So when I saw this book was being offered*, I signed up quickly and was ... The Gospel According to Jesus
Plan B
On 9/25 Reba Baskett wrote: Pete Wilson is a pastor at Cross Point Church here in Nashville. I have visited the church so when I heard about this book I was naturally curious. (The book is also endorsed by just about anyone who is anyone.) Plan B is all about what to do when your plan a does not work ... Plan B Book Review
Permission to Speak Freely
On 9/7 Reba Baskett wrote: Permission To Speak Freely by Anne Jackson* I have been following Anne Jackson’s blog for several years. So when I heard this about this book I was very curious to read it. It quickly topped my list of must reads. The day she asked the question on her blog “What is one thing you feel ... permission to speak freely review
Free Book
On 4/14 Reba Baskett wrote: It took me a while to start reading this book and took me longer to read it. There are high points of this book and points I do not agree with. The author, Brian Tome, spends too much time at the start explaining how free he is. I do not have a problem with any of the content for myself, but I do know ... Free Book
The Gospel According to Lost
On 1/21 Reba Baskett wrote: The first thing I have to say is that I LOVED the paintings in the book. They are truly amazing. (Check out more work by the artist http://transpireproject.wordpress.com/). Each chapter is dedicated to a character and tells a bit about their story and how it fits into the gospel. For me I always saw ... The Gospel According To Lost
The Liturgical Year Hardcover
On 11/25 Reba Baskett wrote: ecently I got a copy of ‘The Liturgical Year’ by Joan Chittister from Thomas Nelson. I had a couple of other books in ‘The Ancient Practices Series’ so I wanted to give this a read. While I liked this book it read more like a instruction book as to a book that you want to just pick up and read. ... The Liturgical Year – Review
The Expanded Bible
On 8/31 Reba Baskett wrote: I am always interested in study bible’s and when I got this copy in the mail I was anxious to flip through this and see what made it so differnt. The first thing that stood out was the word study in the text instead of in the footnotes. For normal reading this made the text hard to get through but ... The [expanded] Bible review
Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl
On 8/2 Reba Baskett wrote: This is a book that I had high hopes for and like most carnival rides they leave you dizzy and wondering why you got on the ride. The style of N.D. Wilson seems a hodge-podgy of one bad big top trip where the clowns jump out at your from random corners. But do not get me wrong there are nuggets of brilliance ... Notes From A Tilt-A-Whirl Review
Think and Make It Happen
On 1/28 Reba Baskett wrote: Once I got past the ‘feel good title’ of the book I found several useful nuggets of information to put into practice in daily life. Through out the book Dr. Cury encourages the reader to perform a 3 step process in evaluating negative thoughts: * Doubt * Criticize * Determine In each ... Think and Make It Happen - Book Review
