Where the rubber meets the road…

Revisado: 03-03-25

Rendezvous with God by Bill Myers is a book series that will surprise you, challenge you, make you laugh and cringe and sometimes make you mad. If you have grown up in the church this series will reawaken feelings of your first love as described in Revelation 2 (the church of Ephesus). If you are honest you will have to admit that you have had many of the same questions. If you are a new believer it will point the way to a great adventure that only comes from a living daily truthful relationship with Christ. I highly recommend the adventure of reading or listening to this series. It really helps put our beliefs into our messy worlds. As J. Vernon McGee used to say “Where the rubber meets the road.”

Living through The Lord’s Prayer

Revisado: 08-10-24

Following this story as Will painfully learns God’s ways is very life challenging! I’ve been a Christian for most of my life. These stories give me a fresh perspective on living everyday in His Presence. Looking forward to the next one!

A cautionary tale!

Revisado: 12-14-23

I have reread this book several times and each time I am amazed that how perceptive Frank Peretti is in seeing a complete world, where the visible and invisible intercept. As Christians, we don’t always see a balance between these two aspects of our lives. Emphasis on prayer and action in our lives, and seeing the powerful move of God through us, affecting lives is very inspirational. These days we don’t hear much openly about the New Age movement, but it is still active and a powerful undercurrent in the world today. This great story will have a big impact in our day to day lives. It will lead us to turn to God in everything!

Important to know

Revisado: 06-02-23

I agree with the author, that it is important to see the roots of our current culture. Lots to think about and I will probably listen to it one more time at least. I really appreciate the last chapter because that’s always the big question, where do we go from here?

First of a great series

Revisado: 10-21-22

Listening to this series a second time. At the time it was written Tyndale said, “Released in the stunning days just after 9/11, this eerily prophetic novel predicted an attack on the U.S. and the war in Iraq . . . but was written before any of it happened.”I really like the thread of the Gospel and the End Times scenario woven through each book.

Good follow up on Thomas Sowell’s books.

Revisado: 08-22-22

Having read Vision of the Anointed and A Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell this book was very enlightening! Sowell refers to it many times in his books. It is a good warning again about collectivism and Socialism as they may lead to a ruling elite. and eventually totalitarianism. He wrote at the time of the rise of Hitler and draws upon that in many of his illustrations. If you read this book listen to the intro and all of the appendix.

I new understanding for me

Revisado: 07-27-22

This is the second time that I have listened to this book. Mainly because frankly, it is way over my head and even the second time I couldn’t follow everything. But what I did get was very important in helping understand the basis for differing views today. Though the author is speaking only from the point of view of economics, a subject I know almost nothing about, as a biblical Christian I can also see the basis of many views! The Bible teaches that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. Jeremiah the prophet said “the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it?” This I believe is the constrained view. Of course in this view we look to God for direction. We allow God to set our boundaries and give us our vision.
