Book Review: Finding Grace by Donna VanLiere
I just happened to pick up and begin reading Finding Grace by Donna VanLiere at a time when God knew I would a need an extra measure of his grace. VanLiere shares her story like a gifted artist, painting with such creative strokes of humor and real life color, that I scarcely perceived the spiritual lessons working their way into the depths of my spirit.

Book Review: Lost Boy by Greg Laurie
If you've ever thought, God could never use someone like me, you need to read Lost Boy, the autobiography of Greg Laurie. To put it mildly, Laurie had a troubled, unstable childhood. Born illegitimately and raised by a wild and reckless, alcoholic mother, Greg has every claim to the term "dysfunctional family." His spiritual rags-to-riches story is nothing short of miraculous.
