Three Reviews
This post will finally catch us up on book reviews! (At least, until I finish another book.) ————————————- The Screwtape Letters C.S. Lewis originally published 1942, my copy published by Harper Collins in 2001 (209 pages) I have had this book on my shelf for a long time, and a member at Lebanon Road suggested that I would love it. That gave me the “umph” needed to add it to my reading list. I’m so glad I did! Lewis is able to weave through the letters from “Wormwood” to “Screwtape” (an uncle demon to his nephew) the way we see Satan working in our world. The allegory is clear, but…

Confidence!
Dr. David Jeremiah’s new work, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, was a refreshing read in a world filled with seemingly constant negative news.

Latest Book Reviews
Since our last book review, I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading. While I always slow down a bit in the summer, there are still four books to pass along my thoughts on. —————————— Jesus Christ: Eternal Sacrifice Betty Burton Choate J.C. Choate Publications, 2000 Our young adult class was recently going through this book, and Leah is a part of that class. She liked what she had read and I decided to read it, too. Choate’s work is motivational, in that she uses scores of Bible verses to share her line of reasoning. In The Eternal Sacrifice, sister Choate tries to show that Christ was not 100% God…
