D.A. Carson and John Piper were talking and agreed that it's a great time to be sixty. Why do they think that? Because the generation below them actually wants to be mentored, wants to hear and read the expositions and theology of quite a number of sixty-year-olds. Why is this a good way to start this book? Because it sheds light on the fact that the church is not headed down the path of destruction but the fact is there are many young Theologians /Pastors out there who want to learn from those a bit older and wiser so that they keep Doctrine/Theology well grounded in truth. Kevin DeYoung the editor of this book summarizes the desire of the writers in two points. One) they want to introduce young Christians, new Christians, and underdiscipled Christians to the most important articles of our faith and what it looks like to live out this faith in real life. Two) they want to reassert the theological nature of evangelicalism. They acknowledge there are some inherent dangers in tackling this project, but they are approaching it from a humble/servant attitude and truly have a great hope for the future of the church. In the first chapter Kevin DeYoung relates being asked by many Pastors, "How do you go about reaching the next generation, what's the secret?" His response, "The secret is, there is no secret. . . . you just have to be like Jesus. . . .if you walk with God and walk with people, you'll reach the next generation." That is profound, yet simple. So much so that many of us will discount it, but don't, that is the truth, so grab hold and work on your relationship with God and others. Another point that DeYoung expresses is this, "Give up on relevance, and try love. If they see love in you, love for each other, love for the world, and love for them, they will listen. No matter who `they' are." I found this personally affirming as I teach a Sunday night class of young people in their twenties. Although I am approaching sixty they want to learn, they want to hear what I have to say and they affirm to me that it is often because I have just shown them that I love them. Today we can try all the right things to try and relate to the modern culture, but what they really want is to be loved. Christ commanded us to `love others as you love yourself'. We need to remember that. Jay Harvey's chapter on Justification is absolutely wonderful. He brings four major points to light as well as describes two problems that people express regarding Justification. In his summary he states, "Justification matters because there is nothing more essential in life or in death than what God thinks of us. Ultimately there are two options; God looks upon us either as justified or as condemned. Likewise, we look upon God as either our loving Father or a fearful judge." That is a great summary for his chapter. The next chapter is by Owen Strachan and deals with Sanctification. He states, "we see that sanctification is progressive, meaning that it unfolds over the course of one's life." He reminds us that Justification is a one-time event that God alone extends to us. But Sanctification is an ongoing process that requires a partnership between God and us. He believes that we all are in a battle today in our desire to obtain personal sanctification. He see's it as threefold. 1) We battle the love of self. 2) We battle the love of sports and trivial things. 3) We battle the love of sex. I don't have the space here to comment on these three battles, but the way Owen unpacks them are profound. You will find yourself examining your own life to see how you have fallen in regards to each of these areas. This one chapter is well worth the price of the book. Well, I could go on and on but you would probably get bored. This book is amazing in that you have eighteen young Theologians/Pastors who are each taking a chapter and expounding on the wonders of our faith. They are each new and fresh, yet old and timeless. That is the wonder of this book. I promise you that you will enjoy every chapter.

Defiantly a great book for those that are sexually open minded! Great for the action and well developed characters.

A great portrayal of what it was like to fly helicopters in Vietnam. Mason's no-nonsense descriptive prose might be plain by some standards, but it works really well in contrast to the intensity and difficulty of the events that he's describing. Starting with his descriptions of learning to fly a helicopter, Mason walks step-by-step through the strangeness of combat conditions, equipment shortages, and on through a series of difficult and dangerous missions. Mason witnesses horrible situations and does some pretty crazy stuff with a helicopter. None of this seemed glorified or glossed over - a real feat of skill given the level of emotion that accompanies events like this. One of my favorite books that I've read this year - made me want a 4.5 rating!

I find her books to be hit or miss, this one was a hit, although I am not sure if it was a hit because I'm pregnant and it is a story of 4 pregnant/new moms. I may not have enjoyed the book as much if I wasn't at this stage of my life.

This romance started out with two strikes against it: the hero has the same name as my father, and he likes to wear a do-rag, a fact which is mentioned many, many times. I got used to his name fairly quickly, but continued to mentally shudder every time “do-rag” was mentioned. This was somewhat balanced out by him being very sweet and having epic hair. Former SEAL Peter is on an forced mental-health leave when his boss (hero of the previous book in the series) asks him to help out a friend who needs a security system. Isabelle is a lawyer with some mental health issues of her own: sexually abused by an older cousin as a child, she closes off emotionally whenever she’s attracted to someone. As Peter helps Isabelle protect herself against the man who still threatens her, they try to get a relationship going, but things get even more complicated when Izzy is asked to help investigate her cousin’s possibly very seamy doings... and Peter, who always feels the need to fix everything, is not supposed to get involved. It seems an odd thing to say about romantic suspense in which the two main characters are both suffering from forms of PTSD, but this is a pleasantly straightforward story. Although the problems they face are significant, there’s more open talking than emo brooding. I liked that neither fights the attraction between them, although they act on it slowly because of of Isabelle’s issues. If you’ve ever been really annoyed that a character recovering from abuse takes about five seconds to heal in a romance, this is the book for you: Peter and Izzy have to put some serious time and effort into it. The effects of long term abuse by a loved one are realistically drawn, though I had some issues with the plausibility of Isabelle’s adult actions. (view spoiler) The language is also somewhat repetitive and the story starts to drag around the middle. But I liked patient, caring Peter and conflicted Izzy together and looked forward to seeing things work out for them. There’s also a really good balance between Peter being the protective dude we love to read about and Izzy being tough and resourceful and fighting for herself. This was clearly part of a series, but stood alone just fine. (I received this e-arc for review from netGalley.)

This is the best thing I've ever dug out of my attic. Retro smut is the way to go.

Burroughs' memoir of provides sharp, witty snapshots into his dysfunctional childhood. Thoroughly entertaining but lacking in structural discipline, Burroughs uses his dry humor to carry the reader through drug use, mentally ill parents, and his own homosexuality. The book swings along easily creating a close bond between the reader and the young Augusten, but when the story trickles down into the conclusion (did he just run out of funny anecdotes?) it's as easy to forget Augusten as it was not to know him in the first place.

I checked this book out of the library and read it the first time about a year or so ago. I intended to read the others but I promptly forgot both title and author. I remembered that the plot had something to do with twins causing the end of the world and that the authors last name fell either at the very end or the very beginning of the alphabet. Finally, last week I saw the book on the library shelf. A second read made me realize that it is not quite as exciting as I remembered. The plot is interesting but jumbled and it took me a little while to get into it. Its a fun enough read if you have some time on your hands but I can't say it will rank high on my "must own this book" list. Partially because I will read almost anything and partially because I did like the ending, I still intend to read the second and third, hoping that the books get better.

I absolutely love Jhumpha Lahiri's way of building a story. She weaves together the present and past in a way that is perfect; not too broken up, forced and awkward or too blended together as to become confusing. You want to follow the characters through the novel to see where they'll end up.
