Book Review: Water's Edge

If you enjoy reading about legal twists and turns, this is the book for you! Tom Crane, an ambitious young lawyer, thinks he is on the brink of an important promotion, but instead sees his dreams come crashing down. After his career and his love life both take nosedives, Tom returns to his small hometown to tie up loose ends left by his father's sudden and unexpected death. Instead of a quick cleanup of old business, and a return to a new job in Atlanta, Tom finds himself confronted with a mystery, a huge amount of money in an unexplained account, and evidence pointing to wrongdoing by his father. Over and over, as Tom tries to solve the mystery, he is faced with legal and ethical issues. Along the way he is brought into genuine relationship with the God whose existance he had ignored for years.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Water's Edge". Tom's struggle to resolve the conflict between the evidence he sees and the knowledge of his father's faith-based life, combined with the touch of romance between Tom and Rose, who is caught in the same web of conflict, makes a great read. The clear evidence of the change in Tom as he begins to share his father's faith adds a valuable spiritual component. This was the first book by Robert Whitlow that I have read, but it definitely won't be my last!

Book Sneeze - Women of Faith

SOOOOO excited - I've won tickets to a Women of Faith event in Rochester! I've never been to one of these events live, but have enjoyed watching dvds of several of the weekends. The dvds were challenging, thought provoking, and entertaining - and I'm sure that the live event will be even better! My only problem: who to take with me .....

Book Review The Fight of Our Lives

The Fight of Our Lives by William J. Bennett and Seth Leibsohn gives an eye-opening perspective of political correctiness, and the havoc it is effecting in America. We are taken through the events surrounding the massacre of Fort Hood: the warnings which should have been clear to all, and the investigation afterward which failed to identify the root cause, but lost itself in meaningless phrases. The authors boldly warn against the dangers of appeasing terrorists, of tip-toeing around radical Islam in the name of tolerance, of embracing diversity at the cost of safety. We are shown how the protective reaction which characterized the USA in the days following 9/11 has dramatically declined, to the point where a US Army major who made no secret of his radical Islam theology was able to open fire on his fellow soldiers within a military institution.

This book is a wake up call to awareness of the threats to peace on this continent; to the danger of "multiculturalism" which preaches the kind of tolerance that allowed the events of Fort Hood; to the reality that there is a war against Christianity, and the battle is taking place in society all around us. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the effort to destroy our culture. Know the enemy, and see the reality of the war!
