Resignation of Eve reviewed

I was given this book through the Tyndale Blog Network in exchange for my honest review and opinion of the work. You can check out the first chapter courtesy of them if you like.

Here's what I can tell you, if you're a woman, I hope you'll read this book and find a story you connect with. If you're a man, I hope this book will seriously change your perspective.

Yes, this is a book about people who are, or have been, involved in a Christian church at some point in their lives, but don't let that disuade you from reading it. This book may speak to you more than you'd think.

Jim Henderson does an excellent job of covering all walks of faith, including those who've walked away from faith altogether. I wish he'd have included a few more examples of that particular circumstance, however I understand that he probably had some space and publisher constraints. That being said, the time he does spend on the subject makes me wish he dedicate an entire book to people who have been involved in church only to be turned off completely from ever attending again.

What I found in this book what Henderson attempteing to get to the truth of the matter. Why do women give up on, stay quiet in, and sometimes even flee the church as it is run today.

If you'd like a chance to win a free copy of this book for yourself comment on the blog and send me a message so I can inform you if you win.

The Power Based Life

Okay, okay, I admit it. I did not finish reading the entire book. I actually got it for my wife after reading the synopsis and deciding it sounded like something that might put a little wind back in her sails...and it worked! Well, sort of, she hasn't quite finished the book yet either, but she does tell how inspirational she finds it any time she has picked it up.

I started reading it for a bit, but like so many other things in life I heard distraction calling and off I went. What I did read was good, practical advice. I think my favorite part of the book, keeping in mind that I've probably only finished 25% of it so far, was when Flynt pointed out that instead of being great at everything it's important to focus on your strongest area and move forward there.

If you're looking to set some goals or put a 5 year plan in motion, then this book is for you. If you want to make sure you can get where you're going, then this book is for you. If you need a little encouragement, a Father's Day gift for a buddy or cousin, or a graduation present...you guessed it!

Whew...too long!!

Wow, I don't know what happened here. I've been so sidetracked by life that I forgot to blog. Is that a blessing or what.

Well, let's see, my birthday kicked ass all the way through. We found out the next week that we're having twins!! Blessing!!! I went up to the Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness with 6 other guys over Memorial Day weekend, and while I know my wife missed me, I also know she's glad that I had a good time. Blessing!! A friend of mine who went with, him and I got to do some witnessing for Christ and we even watched one in our group surrender his heart to Christ.

My dad and I really connected on this trip somewhere around the way too. I don't really know how, or why, but we really did connect. It was just cool since we've always had more of an understood type of relationship than a displayed one, but he gave me a big ol' hug in front of all 4 of those other guys and he didn't even blush, and there's the coolest part, he gave me a hug, usually goes the other way.

Well, life is grand, this is probably full of typos and yadda yadda, but oh well, today I don't care, and neither should you, go find whatever's waiting on ya!
