Hey out there in blog land, do you read much. I have read a great book this past year. Read it through probably 6 times and did a full Sunday School Class at my church with it. The book is Captured By Grace by David Jeremiah. WOW, what a great book. If you are like me, in need of a little grace now and then, you'll love this wonderful collection of thoughts. The book is centered around the Hymn Amazing Grace, but if you not a hymn fan, don't let this stop you. As you follow the life of slave trader John Newton and the Apostle Paul, you find that life can be full of all types of surprises, but God's grace is not beyond anyone's reach.
Another great book, one which should not be approached lightly, is written by a gentleman I had never heard of before. It's not a new book. I got a free copy a few years ago and my wife, who is the avid reader, read it. Last year when my father died, she recommended a chapter to me. I was hooked and have given away a number of copies. You can't go wrong with this one. The book is Make Me Like Jesus: The Courage To Pray Dangerously by Michael Phillips.
Put your favorite book in the comments section so others can get a good look at great books to help them grow in their lives, especially their Christian commitment.
