"A skillfully written, inspiring story of spiritual growth that recalls the writings of Anne Lamott, with its openness about the raw vulnerabilities of motherhood and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love with its honest and searing search for a higher purpose in life."
"The book’s explicitness regarding behind-closed-doors behaviors clearly marks this as a read geared most to open-minded young men. They will find a wealth of solid advice that is variously sophisticated, amusing and entertaining."
"Equal parts science fiction, Christian eschatology, and apocalyptic thriller, this is a grand-scale work of speculative fiction that explores the myths and prophecies of all of the above...Fans of Biblical myth-powered novels like Tim LaHaye’s Left Behind series will find this thought-provoking series absolutely riveting. In a word: rapturous."
"Those who haven’t already read books touting the “law of attraction,” such as The Secret, will find useful information here."
"A Snowflake Never Falls in the Wrong Place doesn’t need its central metaphor to succeed; the author’s life is sufficiently full of stories to hold reader interest without it. While removing the snowflake metaphor would improve the book, readers will nonetheless find much to appreciate here."
"An impressive, thoughtful, and poetic collection of writings, reflections, and sermons that should serve as a source of inspiration for readers who are experiencing strife and turmoil...This multi-layered work of Christian inspiration is a strong and wise companion for those suffering through rough times."
"Especially interesting are the chapters on prosperity from God’s point of view, what it means to glorify God, and the importance of being present in our own lives in order to fulfill the role assigned to us...Christian believers or curious seekers will find this book deeply compelling and even, perhaps, life changing."
"With sound biblical doctrine for marriage, parenting and even living single, Cunningham’s contribution is relevant and much needed. Christian parents will especially find his work beneficial for navigating the rough waters of family life."
"... this is a cute, sweet romance. Seduction plot twist aside, its most likely audience will be conservative Christian women."
"Gilliam is an engaging writer who knows how to move his story along. Young entrepreneurs and business owners, especially of the Christian faith, will enjoy the ride and learn from Gilliam’s rise to greatness."
"Her most amusing essays are observations from her own life as wife, mother, and sometimes stand-up comedienne and actress, which lead to bits on everything from her mean second grade teacher to cute kid stories to acting mishaps. After she scores a wrinkle cream commercial, she notes, 'Apparently, they felt my wrinkles were up to snuff…'”
"The author invites readers to participate in thought experiments meant to provoke deep analysis of the human condition and the universe itself. The author’s style is idiosyncratic, and he has a tendency to ramble. Unfortunately, Mentis Ludos too often insults the intelligence of the very readers it might hope to attract."
"The book feels more like a collection of thoughts than a work of clearly defined theses...Conservative thinkers will sympathize much with Paul, but the book needs more editorial shaping before it can reach its widest audience."
"Although exuberant in its presentation, Eternal Ways lacks a central thesis or organizing principle connecting one chapter to the next...In all, Etoori delivers a fine effort—his exposition is inspiring as is his intent to help everyday people—but the book needs reshaping editorially in order to reach a general market."
"This book is a provocative look at how religious thought is molded by cultural norms and will help many people understand the subtle and not so subtle ways Christianity is developing in the Far East."
"Such diversity of thought makes for difficult reading simply because there is so much to digest. Moreover, the book needs copyediting to catch punctuation problems and word misusages."
"The author offers a jumble of ideas in his book, that seem more like repetitious ramblings than useful counsel. Despite a few illuminating moments, it's a challenging read overall. While the author may feel he has unlocked valuable wisdom in his own head, he has failed to focus his ideas. His thoughts don’t translate well to the written page."
"Noor relies chiefly on the authority of Muslim writings and traditions, which means that his work will find its most congenial audience among convinced Muslims. Yet non-Muslims who are interested in the views of so-called “moderate Muslims” will also find satisfaction in these pages."
"This book explores Nua's personal experience with enlightenment and offers suggestions for readers hoping to be similarly awakened. This book is more spirit than material, and some may feel that the author hasn’t delivered enough substance to enable them to grasp his ideas. Fans of new age writing may find comfort and inspiration."
"Johnson shares his parents’ courtship letters. Ultimately, the book feels disjointed. Historical tidbits help anchor the story in time, but his interspersed comments about his parents feel random. Given the jumble of ideas presented, readers are on their own to decide what to take away from the experience."
