Adam Shields Last week, I wrote about the eink screen, the main reason that I bought the Kindle that ended up being wrong (it has a browser, but it is unusable) and the biggest benefit that I did not know about (the free books). This week I want to talk about what the kindle brings to reading … Read more

This book, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction is not actually a part of this series and has overlapping themes with Practice Resurrection but it fits right in.

I am not sure how to review Horizon. It is the fourth book in a series. I have listened to all this series on Audible. The narration is good and the story isn’t bad. But like many series I wonder at the end if it was worth the effort to get there. There was more … Read more

Takeaway: Sex and Christianity have an uneasy relationship, but that is not the way God intended. Purchase Links: Hardback, Paperback, Kindle Edition (This is the first book I have reviewed that had a trailer.) There are many books out there about sex, even a lot of books about sex oriented toward Christians. There are not … Read more
