Book Review: Some of the Parts by Gerry Rzeppa
Some of the Parts by Gerry Rzeppa, is a "think-outside-of-the-box" children's poetical fiction that touches on several age-old spiritual topics. It offers a good defense against atheism by addressing ancient questions from "where did we come from" to "where are we going after death."

Book Review: When Crickets Cry by Charles Martin
(Southern Fiction; Review rating 4.5) Charles Martin's novel, When Crickets Cry, touched my heart more than any story has in years. It's a work of southern fiction, drenched with spiritual lessons, yet not one sermon is ever preached. The emotional story of heartbreak and loss drifts along slowly at first, but then captures your heart with a strong current.

Book Review: Comes A Horseman by Robert Liparulo
(Action / Suspense; Review rating 3.5) If CSI is one of your favorite TV shows and you enjoy a Ted Dekker novel, my guess is you'll become an instant fan of Robert Liparulo and his debut book, Comes A Horseman. Intense action and adventure pull you into the investigation of a brutal killing spree that uncovers a secret society and its "end times" conspiracy.
