The Purpose Driven Life


The Purpose Driven Life
Rick Warren
ISBN 0310210747
Price £7.99

This has to be the best selling Christian book of the last 2 years. Rick Warren is from Willow Creek.

This is a 40 day devotional book with a short chapter each day that will stimulate your own thoughts. (A great book to read during breakfast). Rick manages to cover all the basics of the Christian Faith in this one book.

It works really well as a discipleship course. The really great thing with this book is; it doesn't matter is you have been a Christian 5 mins or 5 decades you will get something postive out of this book.

I know I always say this, but this book really is a must read.

The Life You've Always Wanted


The Life You've Always Wanted
John Ortberg
ISBN 0.3102.5074.9

This book is the best book i have ever read so far in my life. The Sub Title of the book is "Spritual Displines for Ordinary People", which couldn't be more true.

John Ortberg is a great teacher he commincate profound truth so simply. What i call a "Oh Yeah, why didn't i think of that" writer. This book is packed with simple things we can do as Christian to help our walk with the Lord. A spritual discipline is their to help you not to hinder.This is one example that John gives as a good spiritual discipline. To get plenty of sleep. We are commanded to love one another, and it is hard to do that if we are tired.

It is a book thats probably worth reading every six months. I think all Christian's should own a copy of this book.To buy this book click on this link http://www.keithjones.co.uk/shop/eshop/exec/search.php?s=default&q=0310250749

The Heavenly Man


The Heavenly Man
Brother Yun with Paul Hatterway
ISBN 1.8542.4597.x
Price £7.99

Wow! What a life story. "The Heavenly Man" is the biography of Brother Yun who currently lives in Germany.

The Chinese Church has gone through immense persecution. Brother Yun is one of those Chinese Christians. He is currently wanted by China after God helped him escaped from thier maximium security prison. He was put their for telling people about Jesus.

This is a book you really should read. It is certainly challanging. Brother Yun really has lived the gospel for himself. Through testing he has developed faith that has seen great miracles. I found myself thinking surely he must be making this up at times, but then thought well it happened 2000 years ago why should it not happen today. Read and be inspired.

Facedown
Matt Redman

This is a really easy read and very inspiring. To buy this book click on this link http://www.keithjones.co.uk/shop/eshop/exec/search.php?s=default&q=1842911880

The Money Secret
Rob Parsons
ISBN 0.3408.6277.7
Price £6.99

From the author of the Sixty Minute Father and the Heart of Success, comes this really great book on debt.

I can’t imagine many bank managers wanting you to read this book, because it opens up the unfortunate truth behind banks today. It provides really helpful advice on how to look after your finances and be free of debt forever.

This book is extremely easy to read because it is written as a story about a woman named Amy who is about to commit suicide due to the pressure of debt. She is rescued by an older lady called Lydia who shows her how to find the Money Secret and be free of debt for ever.

I recommend everyone to read this great book; it could make a positive change your life for ever. If you would like to buy this book please click on this link http://www.keithjones.co.uk/shop/eshop/exec/search.php?s=default&q=0340862777
