Jesus Manifesto
On 6/1 Chantal Wiebe wrote: This book was provided to me by Book Sneeze prior to release - which is tomorrow. It's a call back to basics - to get Christians to once again have a clear understasnding of who Christ is and what it means to our lives. Following Christ has nothing to do with 'name it and claim it, or earning your ... "Jesus Manifesto" Review
Will the World End in 2012?
On 5/12 Chantal Wiebe wrote: You may be surprised to know that the panic of 2012 isn't relegated to adults prone to paranoia. In the schools I work in, there are classes of students who are learning about the Mayan society and teachers are having to reassure students. Many students have also seen "2012" film and are combining panic ... Will the World End in 2012?
Tithing 2
On 3/9 Chantal Wiebe wrote: It's an uncomfortable topic for many people, of any religion. Giving a specific amount of gross income to your community of faith. Though tithing is a requirement for many religions, few believers follow it's principle. This book explores people of different faiths (Catholic, Episcopal, Seventh Day Adventists) ... Tithing
The Gospel According to Lost
On 1/31 Chantal Wiebe wrote: "LOST" is a cultural phenomenon with millions of viewers. However, without cable tv and the willingness to download, I have not seen one episode of this show. By reading this, it was my hope to learn a bit about the show to see what the hubbub was all about. The author, Chris Seay, has also written The ... The Gospel According to LOST
Obstacles Welcome
On 12/27 Chantal Wiebe wrote: Most "business" books either come off as a self-congratulatory recapitulation of "how I did it" or too boring to bother finishing the introduction. This book is neither. Ralph de la Vega recounts some of his background as a humble and genuine immigrant from Cuba. Now, as the current President and CEO ... Make things happen...start by reading this!

Fearless
On 9/8 Chantal Wiebe wrote: Fear. It's something we live with every day. It's something that affects every person. Fear of the worst case scenario, fear of violence, fear of death, or the fear of not mattering. In any situation, fear could sneak in and place itself as an obstacle to the goals in your life, to the optimal life you ... Invest the time to read this....multiple times
Let Go
On 8/31 Chantal Wiebe wrote: When Eve reached for that forbidden fruit, she was essentially grasping beyond the limits of her life. She was reaching for something more, something different than what she already had, something not destined for her. That isn't to say that women should be constrained and can't aspire for bigger goals. ... Women, take a breath
Read and Share Toddler Bible
On 8/6 Chantal Wiebe wrote: If you are looking for a way to introduce Biblical stories to your toddler without boring them with too many details, this toddler Bible is perfect. It has colorful illustrations, simple language, and even a bonus DVD with 1 hour of selected narrated stories. The stories are just short enough to keep ... Just Perfect
Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage
On 7/23 Chantal Wiebe wrote: Good marriage advice is hard to come by, and it's even harder to come by in this book. Although touted as a guide to avoid the pitfalls of marriage, this book hardly delivers. I expected something humorous yet honest. Rather this book just seems silly and it's hard to tell whether the authors are being ... Humourous but hokey
I Believe Bunny
On 7/3 Chantal Wiebe wrote: Opening with a Bible verse, this children's book is an interesting mix of prose and parable. It attempts to teach little ones that God works through everyone, even children. The illustrations are colorful yet mellow and almost pastoral. The rhyming verses keep the attention of even busy boys. And the ... The I Believe Bunny
It Happened In Italy
On 6/22 Chantal Wiebe wrote: Holocaust literally means an act of mass destruction and loss of life. We associate this word with the extermination of millions of Jews during WWII. The term 'Holocaust' conjures up many images of war, death, cruelty, and brutality. Rarely does it refer to kindness and brotherly love, but a few instances ... It Happened in Italy
The Principle of the Path (Hardcover)
On 5/23 Chantal Wiebe wrote: There are times in life where everyone has a moment of uncertainty, disappointment, and confusion about why they are in that particular situation. Why am I in so much debt? Why don't my relationships last? How did I gain all this weight? People react differently to bad circumstances. Some people have ... The Principle of the Path
The Hole in Our Gospel
On 5/3 Chantal Wiebe wrote: Did you know that if you are reading this post, you are probably very wealthy and didn't even know it? In fact, if you make $25, 000 per year you are in the top 97th percentile of the world's wealthiest people. Over 2.6 billion people live on less than $2 per day but the average North American lives ... The Hole In Our Gospel
I'll Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse
On 4/9 Chantal Wiebe wrote: Forget everything you ever thought you knew about the mob. And forget Tony Soprano. If you thought mobsters are unskilled goons with guns, you need a few lessons about business on the street. Michael Franzese, a mafia prince, offers those lessons in his latest book. Now retired from mob life, he was ... I'll Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse
Rachel's Tears
On 3/22 Chantal Wiebe wrote: A 17-year old girl has changed the world and you may not even know her name. She was the first victim of the Columbine school shooting tragedy. Her funeral was broadcast on CNN with the largest viewing audience than any other broadcast, including Princess Di's funeral. She was a sister, a student, and ... Rachel's Tears
