The Book I Needed

Revisado: 10-20-24

I’ve struggled with my beliefs that I’d grown up with in the past few years… often wondering what was going on with me. I found myself questioning so much of what I was seeing at my church since the election of Donald Trump in 2016. As April notes in her book, no one plans on deconstructing. It just kind of happens. I’m so thankful to have April’s memoir to help guide me through all of this. Her explanation of Christian Nationalism is both informative and hilarious! (As a side note I now know I wasn’t the only one who, as a kid, freaked out when the house got too quiet and panicked that the Rapture had occurred without me!). Thank you, April, for writing this book. It’s certainly opened my eyes to a world that’s no longer black and white, and I think I’m better for it.

Insightful

If you’re a Seinfeld show fan this is a great read. So much insight into how Michael Richards created his iconic Kramer character.

I Had No Idea This Book Would Be This Good

Revisado: 05-06-24

I did not know what to expect. I purchased it on the recommendation of Russell Moore on his podcast. I do not regret that decision at all. Nancy French’s life is amazing. She had me laughing, crying and every emotion in between. I was inspired by reading her story. While our lives have been nothing alike we came to the same crossroads in 2016. I’m so glad she and others are willing to tell their stories. I don’t feel so alone. This is the best book I’ve read so far in 2024 and I hope and pray I’ll hear more from her for many years.

Alice Still Rocks

Revisado: 01-16-24

What a great, quick telling of the Alice Cooper story. As a Gen Xer whose first exposure to Alice was The Muppet Show this filled in a lot of the early years that I didn’t know.

Would love to find some of those acoustic tracks in your music library someday!

How Can You Not Be Romantic About Baseball

Revisado: 10-14-23

One of the most fun and informative baseball books I’ve ever read. Joe always goes the extra mile with his writing and this book is no different. I loved reading this one!

Thank God For Russell Moore

Revisado: 09-23-23

As a lifelong Southern Baptist I became disillusioned in the past decade by what was happening in the church. I thought I was going crazy when what I believed was all of a sudden at odds with the leadership of the SBC and my preferred political party. Thank goodness Russell Moore came along ( with help from David and Nancy French) to show me that I was not alone. This book helps with what I’ve been feeling since 2015.

Good Read (but comes at you fast)

Revisado: 03-08-23

Really well done book by Michael Malice. As a Gen X Cold War kid I appreciated the fact that Malice’s book highlights the rise and fall of the Soviet empire and how truly awful these leftist hero were in their quest to create their version of utopia. I highly recommend it. The audio book suffers from poor editing which makes Malice sound likely he’s speed reading his book. I literally checked the controls because I thought it was running at 1.5x speed. Info comes at you hard and fast so be alert.

Must Listen For All Americans

Revisado: 02-06-23

I found this very enlightening as to the facts of January 6.

My only critique is ending it with an afterword from Rep. Jamie Raskin. A report filled with facts suddenly became a stump speech for progressive America. As a forward thinking independent I found it, quite frankly, insulting.

Love this audiobook!

Revisado: 01-17-23

Absolutely one of the best audiobooks of a red. I’ve been a fan of U2 all the way through. This made me see them in a whole new way and made me fall in love with the music all over again.

Bono‘s reading and writing is top notch. Poetry and prose all rolled into one.
