"A.W. Tozer's: The Knowledge of the Holy, The Pursuit of God, God's Pursuit of Man"  What's better than having 3 of Tozer's most beloved classics in ONE volume?! Absolutely nothing tops it!  This volume includes: The Knowledge of the Holy , The Pursuit of God , and God's Pursuit of Man . Many Christians are familiar with these books or at least have heard of them or run across quotes taken from these. But for those who haven't, I'll include the brief summaries of each located on the inside of the book jacket.  The Knowledge of the Holy Published in 1961, approx. 191 pages "...a much-much needed corrective to our small, unassuming thoughts about God. In this timeless study on the attributes of God, Tozer reacquaints us with His majesty, reminding us again what it truly means to encounter God and be in awe of Him." The Pursuit of God Published in 1948, approx. 118 pages "...teaches us how to recla...

"The Girls' Guide to Conquering Life" By Erica & Jonathan Catherman Wife and husband team, Erica and Jonathan Catherman have penned this guide for the young girl. The age target for this book I'd say is probably 10+ It contains step-by-step how-tos with pictures and instructions on everything from dating, beauty, work, careers, fashion, cooking, cars to easy fix-its. It contains about 100 tips for life skills that can help the pre-teen/teen.  While I understand and appreciate the intent behind the book, it was poorly executed. I agree that all the things on here are important skills that young girls should learn but they're some things that cannot be learned by reading a book. Most of the how-tos presented here can only be acquired through hands-on experience and exposure, like handling relationships, work and throwing a football. Other tasks discussed like jump starting a car cannot be learned through a short one page set of instructions. And...

"Eschatological Discipleship: Leading Christians to Understand Their Historical and Cultural Context" By Trevin K. Wax This is the first time I had ever heard the phrase "eschatological discipleship" and this is the reason why I decided to pick this book. As I'm always eager to learn more about discipleship, it made it easy for me to read through it. Trevin Wax argues that true Christians must view eschatology in light of our times and the future. The question he poses throughout the book is "when are we? "  Wax points out how eschatology is found throughout scripture (not just the end times) in historical eras, the present and how it will play out in the future. I must say that I had never view eschatology in this way, I always tied it with the end-times.  Wax discusses the Biblical foundation of eschatology as found in the OT, the Gospels & Acts, and the Pauline letters. He also spends several chapters discussing how th...
