Review: All These Wonders: True Stories about Facing the Unknown

A forward by Neil Gaiman?  I half expected stories from the beyond from this collection.  You know those campfire stories that give you chills and haunt you forever.  There are stories here that may stay with you for a long time and you can’t say you weren’t warned.

The happy part is that these stories leave you believing that maybe there just might be some good left here and there in this world.  I sampled various stories just so I’d have some left to read after I put up this review.  I wanted them for those days that land you once in a while when you need to hear something positive.  And that is why I recommend this one to you.  The authors of the individual stories tell their own tale in their way.  Some of them are tough reads, but ones that showed me even in those situations there’s still hope, that the strength to go on can be had, if I choose.  Others are the kind that make you smile.  Some have you cheering.  It’s just a good book to have around.  

And The Moth continues their work at https://themoth.org/  ,and through podcasts and other means if you want more or think you’d like to contribute your own story.  “The Moth's mission is to promote the art and craft of storytelling and to honor and celebrate the diversity and commonality of human experience.”  I think they achieved their mission with this set of stories.

I received this book from the publisher in return for a review.

Review: When God’s Ways Make No Sense by Dr. Larry Crabb

Review: When God’s Ways Make No Sense Dr. Larry Crabb Baker Books 2018 I chose this book because the title intrigued me.   When God’s Ways Make No Sense.    There have been plenty of times when that seemed truer than I’d like to admit.   Are we even allowed to say something like that?   Even if we think it.   So, an author willing to take on that topic had my attention. And mostly because I wanted his take on what to do about it? As it turns out Crabb pretty much gave away his case very early on in his book with a single scripture quote.   The basic idea is God is GOD and we are not.   His motives and actions are incomprehensible to mankind and He owes no explanation for them either.   Crabb admits near the end of his book that he is not a theologian which I knew going into this book, but his arguments are theology.   Or at least I think so.   I found his repeated circling the topic a bit frustrating. That said, the book does provoke thoughts from th

Review: What is the Mission of the Church? Making Sense Social Justice, Shalom, and the Great Commission. by Kevin DeYoung and Gregory D. Gilbert

DeYoung and Gilbert have authored a thoughtful look at the mission of the church. The first task they undertook was to sort through the different ideas and definitions of mission. They do arrive at what seems a reasonable definition, which means I generally agree with it. Much of the book is devoted to developing their theme that mission and ministries can be distinctly different, even to the place of losing sight of one another altogether. Another point they make later is that the church, a Christian, and a bunch of Christians do not necessarily have the same focus, mission, or ministry. That is a very important point and I think needs to revisited and expanded. The confusion that these authors see about the mission of the church is based in that area, I think. But, as well written as this book is, the crowning glory for it is the epilogue, a fictitious conversation between a young church starter and a mature pastor. If for no other reason than this epilogue, this bo

Review: Remarkable! Maximizing Results Through Value Creation by Dr. Randy Ross and David Salyers

Review: Remarkable! Maximizing Results Through Value Creation Dr. Randy Ross and David Salyers Baker Books 2016 Assessment, Alignment, Adjustment, Advancement, all woven into what the publishers have called a leadership parable.   It’s tale of a chat at a car repair shop that leads the wisdom seeker into change.   His business prompted the conversation, but, as with lots of things in life, the advice and instruction he receives goes deeper, but the focus remains on his business questions.   Ross and Salyers parable reads easily, is a bit pedantic to suit me, but gives the patient reader plenty to ponder.   Within the four sections listed above illustrations from car repair lead to application elsewhere, as is the way of the parable.   The meat comes in the last few chapters.   The first half is the ground work.   The rewards are to those that read both, even though I nearly set the book aside in that first half. Summary graphics in the appendix tie it together in
