Unglued Devotional
On 5/10 Leanna wrote: Lysa TerKeurst’s “Unglued Devotional” is great for busy moms who need a daily reminder of how to stay calm during chaos, and to praise the Lord instead of complaining to Him.Although she does have a book out titled “Unglued: Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Raw Emotions”, this is not a ... "Unglued" Book Review
Grieving God's Way
On 3/1 Leanna wrote: I finished reading this over a month ago, so I guess it’s high time I write the book review!I picked out this book, not because I’m dealing with grief or the loss of a loved one, but to be able to sympathize with and help friends who are. But I must say I was sadly disappointed in this book. There ... Grieving God's Way Book Review
Grace
On 11/9 Leanna wrote: "Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine" was my first Max Lucado book. My overall impression of him was exactly what I had heard about him: typically good content and an easy read. A VERY easy read. Lucado touches on several aspects of grace in a Christian's life, usually starting each ... Grace
Twelve Unlikely Heroes
On 9/10 Leanna wrote: I found “Twelve Unlikely Heroes” by John MacArthur to be a little blah. I didn’t feel like he was telling me anything new about these characters from the Bible. He spent more time re-telling what Scripture already says about each one than he did digging up helpful insights or examples to ... Twelve Unlikely Heroes
Jackson
On 7/30 Leanna wrote: I’ve always loved history, but I didn’t know a lot about Andrew Jackson til recently, and this book fixed that. I was very surprised how engaging it was. I didn’t want to put it down once I got into it. Towards the end the pace slackened, but still a great book. Author Paul Vickery does a great ... The Iron-Willed Commander
Father Hunger
On 6/18 Leanna wrote: With Father's Day just past us, I thought it fitting to post a review of "Father Hunger", by Douglas Wilson. Fatherhood is a role often abused or left vacant in our world today, and Wilson is not afraid to tell you what's what. “Father Hunger” is much more than a book on how to be a good dad. In ... Father Hunger
The Truth About Forgiveness
On 5/22 Leanna wrote: Like the other two books in “The Truth About” series by John MacArthur, this one is well-written and thought-provoking, though not a heavy read.MacArthur writes a gentle yet firm reminder of why we need God’s forgiveness, why God wants and acts to forgive, and why there’s nothing we can ... The Truth About Forgiveness
The Truth About the Lordship of Christ
On 5/5 Leanna wrote: Rich content, yet still easy to read. John MacArthur addresses the often-ignored issue of Christ not only being a believer’s Savior, but their Lord. Beginning with a look at God’s sovereignty over everything in the universe, it’s easy to see that our God wouldn’t be great if he wasn’t sovereign. ... The Truth About the Lordship of Christ
The Truth About Grace
On 4/20 Leanna wrote: First, let me say, this is a great book! Whether a baby Christian or a believer of 50+ years, this book is for you! In the Christian circle, ‘grace’ has become such a common term thrown around that often we miss its significance and power. In his book “The Truth About Grace”, John MacArthur ...

The Founders' Key
On 3/6 Leanna wrote: Having signed up for Hillsdale College's Constitution 101 session, I was thrilled to see this book by Hillsdale's President Larry Arnn available on Booksneeze.com. I was expecting it to be a hard, slow read because of the topic, but was pleasantly surprised to get through it quickly. A very interesting ... The Founders' Key
Then Sings My Soul Book 3
On 2/8 Leanna wrote: For hymn-, history- and book-lovers alike, “Then Sings My Soul” is a winner. It is the third in Robert Morgan’s Trilogy of stories of our most beloved--and perhaps unknown--hymns.This volume includes the sheet music and story behind the author or composer of 56 hymns; the history of hymnody from ... Then Sings My Soul
Tyndale
On 1/9 Leanna wrote: I just loved David Teem’s new book, “Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God an English Voice”. My pastor sparked my interest in Tyndale, and I’ve discovered that he really is an amazing yet neglected man in history. I’ve never read a book on William Tyndale before, but have heard lots about him and ... Tyndale
December 1941
On 12/8 Leanna wrote: Because December 7th is “a date that will live in infamy”, December of 1941 is a month that warrants much detailed study. I found Craig Shirley’s book “December 1941” to be an excellent resource for just such study. It’s the only book of its kind, going beyond the attack on Pearl Harbor to ... December 1941
Has God Spoken?
On 10/24 Leanna wrote: Whether you have doubts on if the Bible is true and divinely inspired, or simply want to learn more about the history of the Bible, then “Has God Spoken? Proof of the Bible’s Divine Inspiration” by Hank Hanegraaf is a great book for you. The author uses acronyms throughout the book as a way to ... Has God Spoken?
Thunder Dog
On 8/19 Leanna wrote: Reading "Thunder Dog" by Michael Hingson was like seeing through the eyes of a blind man. At first glance, you think the story is just about a guide dog, Roselle, who safely leads his master down 78 flights of stairs in the World Trade Center and out to safety on the morning of September 11, 2001. But ... Thunder Dog
The Little Red Book of Wisdom
On 7/12 Leanna wrote: “The Little Red Book of Wisdom” by Mark DeMoss is just that: a little red book of wisdom. From business endeavors, to common etiquette, to spiritual growth, this book has a little bit of everything for everyone. I picked it up and wouldn’t have put it back down without finishing if I could have. The ... The Little Red Book of Wisdom
Be the People
On 7/1 Leanna wrote: “Be the People” by Carol M. Swain was overall an excellent book. I read the intro and got very excited about her passion for America and the changes that should and can take place if we the people will be the people. She goes to great lengths to support her opinion with statistics, facts, and quotes ... Be the People
No He Can't
On 6/6 Leanna wrote: “No He Can’t” by Kevin McCullough is both informative and engaging, appropriate for readers in all stages of life, whether politically inclined or not. I appreciate the author’s balance of getting the facts straight without over-criticizing the President. Though it is clear when he disagrees, ... No He Can't book review
