You can read my Goodreads reviews by clicking on the title links.
1. Imprisoned with ISIS- I received this book for free after watching the Artless Theatre Company perform "If Prison Walls Could Speak" which tells the true story of a Czech pastor imprisoned for his faith.
2. Unexceptional- A series of short true stories about women serving God in various ministry roles and in community. Includes testimonies from 20 Schemes in Scotland.
3. Startling Beauty- True story of the horrors of rape and one woman's faith in the midst of great suffering.
4. Hell's Best Kept Secret- Ray Comfort's perhaps most famous book explaining why churches are full of false converts when we present the Gospel before people are convicted of sin through the moral law.
5. The Real Baptism of the Holy Spirit- Sensible reminder of the Bible's actual teaching in areas including the charismatic sign gifts and general Christian living.
6. The Seed Must Die- A short story of Christian love in action in occupied Korea. Very moving.
7. Overcoming Walls to Witnessing- Brilliant little book dealing with fear and encouraging evangelism
8. On the Beaten Track- Inspirational stories from the first 100 years of the Open-Air Mission
9. What Love is This?- My most controversial choice and one of the longest books I've ploughed through. Dave Hunt explains how Calvinism misrepresents God.
10. Commandos for Christ- Crazy and astonishing missionary adventures in the jungles of Bolivia.
I hope you find something worth reading in 2025.
Happy New Year and happy reading!
