Book Review

Everything is Possible: Finding the Faith and Courage to Follow Your Dreams - unabridged audiobook on CD by Jen Bricker MISSION AUDIO / 2016 Reviewed by Diane Busch I listened to the audiobook read by the author. It is great to hear her voice. She reads a bit fast, but that is her bubbly personality - full of energy and spunk. Jen's enthusiasm for life and for faith in God is contagious! Her life story begins as a baby born with no legs who was given up for adoption by her Romanian parents. Her adoptive American parents raised her to know and love God. They didn't let Jen say "can't". They supported her in all her endeavors and dreams. She became a gymnast and she also is a public speaker. She shares her testimony, her love for life, and her love for Christ whenever and wherever she can. Chapter 7 (disc 2) of this book contains an amazing surprise I won't spoil here. This book will inspire the reader that everything is possible with God.

Book Review

The Bad Habits of Jesus : Showing us the way to live right in a world gone wrong

by Leonard Sweet

Tyndale 2016

Reviewed by Diane Busch

This title intrigued me and I wasn't sure what to expect. Jesus didn't really have bad habits did he?  But then what about his offensive speech at times, his disappearing when he was needed, his spitting, his breaking the rules, etc.?  Leonard Sweet dives right in and names the things that Jesus did that caused people to be angry or offended. But then he explains why Jesus did these things and presents biblical truth in a way we canunderstand. Sweet tells us that we should make Jesus' habits our own habits, even his "bad" habits. There are so many good lessons for Christians and the church within these pages.  Especially of interest to me is when Sweet delves into polictial correctness on pages 63-64.  

This book offered much more than I expected. I underlined many passages. I recommend it to all Christ followers and to those who have questions about Jesus.

A copy of this book was received from Tyndale House Publishers for the purpose of review.
