Sunday Sayings – A Collection of Books

It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed a book and I have a stack to do. I’ve either finished, am in the middle of or will soon be reading each book below. Some I am enjoying, some not so much.

.

1. Love Wins by Rob Bell
2. After Shock by Kent Annan
3. Poke the Box by Seth Godin
4. Razing Hell by Sharon L. Baker
5. Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo
6. One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
7. Half the Church by Carolyn Custis James

I will review each one soon, but for today let’s play a game. I’ll post a quote from each book and you guess which book each one is from.

Sound good?

Okay … great, glad you like the idea.

Here goes …

1. “God showed me love by giving me a little miracle.”

2. “Rather than a God of occasional disaster-rescue miracles, I want a God whose miracles prevent the disasters in the first place.”

3. “The intercourse of soul with God is the very climax of joy.”

4. “Jesus talked about hell to very religious people to warn them about the consequences of straying from their God-given calling and identity to show the world God’s love.”

5. “Every human being is God’s image bearer — granted the highest possible rank of all of God’s creation.”

6. “Some scholars who work with victims of abuse have actually compared God to an abusive spouse or parent who acts with violence one minute and professes deep love the next.”

7. Sooner or later, many idealists transform themselves into disheartened realists who mistakenly believe that giving up is the same thing as being a realistic.

Gosh that was hard … only picking one sentence from each book is tough. Wish I had more time to do scan them all again, but I don’t so here it is.

Take your best shot … match up the numbers.
