I Am Second
On 5/18 Daniel Pallmann wrote: I am Second is a collection of real stories edited by Doug Bender and Dave Sterrett. Most of the accounts are by well known people who found success in the world, but were still had no satisfaction. While they had obtained many material things, they were lacking spiritually.

Has God Spoken? (Int'l)
On 2/10 Daniel Pallmann wrote: I recently read through Hank Hanegraaff's Has God Spoken? and must admit that it was better than I expected.

In this book he discusses ... Book Review: Has God Spoken? by Hank Hanegraaff

The Blessing
On 8/19 Daniel Pallmann wrote: We do not usually think of “blessing” someone as anything more than an impulsive gesture of goodwill or perhaps when they sneeze. However, John Trent and Gary Smalley lay out in this book many reasons—both practical and spiritual, why we ought to intentionally bless our children. Drawing heavily ... The Blessing by John Trent and Gary Smalley (Book Review)
Daddy Dates
On 7/11 Daniel Pallmann wrote: As a father of two daughters, I thought that this book might be helpful. After all, this book claims to help you “raise a confident woman-to-be, show your daughter what it feels like to be treated with love, respect, and true interest by a man who loves her.” This of course is vital later on when ... Daddy Dates by Greg Wright (Book Review)

The Final Summit

On This Day in Christian History
On 12/2 Daniel Pallmann wrote: On this day in Christian History by Robert J Morgan is a book with an interesting approach.

While this would not be an appropriate replacement for daily ... Book Review: On this Day in Christian History, by Robert J. Morgan
Beyond Opinion
On 9/27 Daniel Pallmann wrote: Those familiar with the work of Ravi Zacharias know that he is one of the leading Christian apologists today.
