Books Suggestions:

I have been reading some good books the past few months. A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by Phillip Keller. This is an old book written by a shepherd. It gives a very clear picture of sheep and how God sees His chidlren as sheep. It drives home the point of why sheep must have a shepherd and the responsibility of the shepherd.

"If God is so good, why do I hurt so bad?" by David Biebel. One of the best books that I have read in a long time on the subject of pain and suffering. The book was sent to me by Rick Stilwell's sister in law after she found out about the death of Caleb our grandson. The author writes out of his own pain of loosing his two sons. One chapter, "When losses come, Who do I know?" is very helpful. Biebel is so honest in the book that you are drawn to what he writes.

"When you've been wronged" "Moving from bitterness to forgiveness", Dr Erwin Lutzer is a great writer. He is easy to read with plenty of stories. I find his honest treatment of forgiveness and bitterness refreshing. He drives the fact that "What you do not forgive you pass on". If you have a problem forgiving - READ THIS BOOK. If you enjoy being bitter, stay away.

Is God on America's Side by Dr Erwin Lutzer. A must read for any believer who wants to pray for America and cares about the future of our country. If you watch Fox News, you must read this book.

Culture Shift by Dr Albert Mohler. Mohler examines in detail the culture of American and directs you to the truth of God's Word. If you want to keep your head in the sand DO NOT READ. I read Culture Shift after I read Is God on America's Side. Both of these books provoke you to look at America through the truth of God's Word instead of politics.

What books are you reading? Do you have any suggestions for me???
