Book Review: Sex, sushi & Salvation



This book was well written. Christian George talks about a number of stories about him on the mission field with his father. I like it because its not just the typically “Sex Book” it always going back to salvation the most important part of life.
He talks about the sushi and how the new generation has changed. Sushi is now a huge part of the young generation. He says, “Culture craves raw reality.” We want a faith that is raw and fresh as sushi.
He talk about how it all comes back to Christ.

Book Review: Soul Craving

One of reason that I love to travel is because I get to finish books that I started weeks ago! I just finish Soul Craving by Erwin McManus! It was a reminder that our soul craving the relationship with Christ! I loved how the book was written in short journal entries and stories! It talked about the souls cravings of love and intimacy! I think if we were all honest with ourselves would say that we want to experience intimacy. It also spent some time talking about destiny and meaning! It was wrapped up with a seek piece!

Book Review: Crazy Love


This book spends a lot time talking about God's Love. Its one of the better Christian Books that I have read lately. I felt challenged after reading this book. The chapter titles ranging in everything from stop praying, serving Leftover to a holy God and my favorite "Your best life...Later"

You should pick this book up!

Francis Chan is a great writer and a challenging leader!
If you read this you will be challenged!
