A book that made you laugh and cry but, one you can't put down once you start reading. The lessons we can learn from our children is very heartwarming. You feel that you were with Michelle and her family as you read the book. I recommend Little Lesson's from a Big God as well as Michelle's other books that she has written. Michelle is a writer that writes from the heart and we all can learn from Michelle's books the love that Michelle and her family has for God. I want to thank Michelle for sharing her experiences with her children. She is a wonderful writer. Good Luck!

This was a great read that made me laugh out loud. Excellent devotional material! The chapters are the perfect length for a person on the go, and the topics are very relatable.

This book was just precious! My two daughters, one 8 years old and the other 12 years old, love to have devotional times with me. We are always looking for just the right devotional books as we study God's word. Of course, kids love to read about other real live kids and so this book was perfect for us. We would read the stories of Michelle Adams and her girls and just belly laugh at times. It would always jog my memory of the silly things my girls did and I would proceed to tell them about it. They loved hearing about what they did as a little toddler and what God taught me in those times. We truly have our own "Little Lessons from a Big God" stored away in our hearts and minds.
We would then read the scriptures that were listed at the end of the chapter and study His word together and pray. My girls would always plead with me, "Just one more story about Abby, Ali and their dogs!! Just one more chapter, Mom!" Of course, I too wanted to read just "one more" chapter! We would stop there because I told them it's like having that big bag of candy from Halloween and we didn't want to eat it all up in one day. Let's savor it and enjoy it longer! That was the only way I could convince them that we should save the book for another day.

For many people today, God does not factor into their lives. For many others, God may be big and he may be evident in the big things. But He is ultimately uninterested in little things that make up their lives. In Little Lessons From a Big God, Michelle Adams shares stories and experiences from her own life which illustrate how close and interested in each of us God really is. Her engaging, conversational style is both inviting and disarming. Each account unfolds like being in Adams' kitchen, seated at the table, sipping a soda and listening as she shares the stories of the lessons God has taught her through her children.

Whether it was learning to know God's voice, learning to accept responsibility for actions and their consequences, or to simply enjoy being with God, each event is retold with humor and insight. In her very personal style, Adams conveys to the reader one primary truth: No matter how big God truly is, His presence is most often experienced in the small things.

As a mother of four daughters, and a teacher of young children, I was completely inspired by the lessons and values taught in this book. I kept finding myself thinking "Oh that is SO true, but I never really thought of it that way!" It is obvious that the author is a mother writing from her heart. I have recommended this book to everyone I know who has children or works with children (and I highly recommend it as a perfect Mother's Day gift in May!).

I really liked this book. It's interesting to see what went on in his life. It's also very nice to see how God worked through his life and the lives of the people he knew. He shows what it looks like when you are living the life God would have you live. It's very inspiring.

Great book! Very easy to read and yet packed with amazing stories of courage. inspires you to move to a new level in God. Do whatever you can with whatever you've been given wherever you are!!

In this book, Franklin Graham will take you through his life, giving us biblical principles, and helpful insights, on living a life in sync with God. I recommend it. GO READ IT NOW!!! GET THIS BOOK!!! you can get it free at some site, thats how i got it, just search the web for free franklin graham book and you should find it.

This book picks up where "Rebel With A Cause" leaves off. To those that have read his first book, read this one next.

In this book, he tells about his life and ministry with his father, Dr. Billy Graham, and with his own ministry, Samaritan's Purse. You'll get an insider's view on what it's like to distribute relief aid to people in need around the world. He also talks about getting out of your comfort zones and what it means to "Live Beyond The Limits."

Once again, hats off to Franklin Graham. Keep up the good work!

Franklin Graham is carrying on the ministry of his father (Billy Graham) to reach out to the poor and downtrodden in today's world and show them that God wants us to live life to the fullest. He focuses on principles and promises essential to a full life if we are to be in 'sync' with God's design for us. We each are put here on earth for a purpose and, sometimes, it takes almost the entire lifespan to determine our purpose, but it is there waiting to be discovered, so that we can live a life of peace, joy, excitement, and fulfillment before we die.

These real-life stories of people who survived under "the most challenging circumstances imaginable" are amazing and inspiring. Franklin was a rebel for awhile before realizing that his role in today's world is to teach the rest of us what his dad has been doing for nearly fifty years. His autobiography was called REBEL WITH A CAUSE. He has written other books about miracles and religiousity and lives in Boone, North Carolina.

The photo section tells a story with each picture. It is true that one picture is worth a thousand words. They add interest to any book, especially those about real people and not figments of someone's imagination. Now, those are harder to illustrate.

This book will change your life. If you have ever wondered how to keep proper Christian perspective, this book is your answer. No fancy formulas, no secret codes, nothing silly. It gives you a single truth (the most important truth, the Gospel truth) to apply to your life in any situation. The book then makes a biblical case for this position, and then gives you amazing ammunition for practical application of this truth in every situation in your life.

It will not steer you wrong. If you are thinking about buying it, stop thinking. It is worth every penny. I recommend it to all my Christian friends, and family, and it would also be an amazing book for non-Christians.

Once you start you wont put it down. It is gripping, easy to read, and at the same time, PACKED with life changing words. CJ is so compassionate, so real. He is your friend and he meets you where you are with beautiful truth that will change you forever.

Fourteen tight chapters that extol the power, grace, and love of the cross ... Mahaney's book wants nothing less than the cross of Christ at the core of our beings. In theology and in practice, in faith and in works, in putting on Christ and putting off sin, the gospel must take center stage. "If there's anything in life we should be passionate about, it's the gospel...passionate in thinking about the gospel, reflecting upon it, rejoicing in it, allowing it to color the way we look at the world and all of life" (15). The book exudes with Mahaney's characteristic vigor. It is exuberant without being mindless. It's passion is rooted in a deep, biblical understanding of the gospel. It's only right then that begins the book (chapter 2 to be exact) with a meditation on investing Scripture with final authority rather than one's emotions. He proceeds with characteristic wisdom when he writes, "But if you trust your feelings first and foremost, if you exalt your feelings, if you invest your feelings with final authority--they'll deposit you on the emotional roller coaster which so often characterizes our lives" (36).

The majority of the book resonates with various subthemes of the major theme. He moves from a moving exposition of the Suffering Servant in Isa 53 all the way to the unfathomable loneliness of the Savior hanging on the cross at the end of His earthly life. Along the path, he explicates the wrath of a holy God against sin, the utter depravity of mankind, the necessity of blood-sacrifice by the God-man, and the soul-shattering obedience and love of Christ in drinking fully the cup of His Father's fierce wrath. I can honestly say that I was moved at each turn. Mahaney captivates our attention through well-placed quotes from other authors, concisely packaged dense theology, and frequent reminders of the love of God in the gospel. The last feature really balances the argument of the book.

When Mahaney gets to the cross and our lives, he doesn't disappoint. The "me" element of the cross is sin. He writes of who he identifies with the most on Golgotha: "I identify most with the angry mob screaming, 'Crucify Him!' That's who we should all identify with. Because apart from God's grace, this is where we would all be standing, and we're only flattering ourselves to think otherwise" (87). He strongly applies the cross to our sufferings with the result that assurance and joy overflow in our lives no matter what the circumstance. He also manages to tackle legalism and self-condemnation, two joy-robbing, cross-undermining sins that are quickly dispatched (but not with any sense of ease or casualness) with reminders as to the objective realities of the cross and our basic need to believe in what Christ has done. The simplicity of these chapters only elevates our responsibility to indulge ourselves in every aspect of Christ's death.

The penultimate chapter is the most practical. In it, he shares five simple ways that he's used to draw near to the cross each day. The five ways are:
(1) Memorize the Gospel
(2) Pray the Gospel
(3) Sing the Gospel
(4) Review How the Gospel Has Changed You
(5) Study the Gospel
Even here, in a chapter about our practice of the gospel, he ends with the reminder that apart from the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit, these five ways would be merely human deeds.


C.J. Mahaney, as always, is frank. He tells it like it is, especially about himself. The last chapter begins with the Christian equivalent of a smack: "I was smoking pot the first time I heard the gospel." His forthrightness about himself and his own sins don't detract from the message. They serve to enhance it. Such humility puts flesh and blood on what could otherwise be a very dry tome on the centrality of the cross to the Christian life. Instead, we are treated to a rich feast of devotional warmth, practical wisdom, and impassionateed urgency. May we never move on from the cross. May we move only deeper into its glories.

As a guy whose denomination tends to be very doctrinally oriented, this book is a tremendous breath of gospel fresh air. It's one thing to give a textbook definition for "justification", etc. It's another thing entirely to have one's heart opened to the implications of Christ's finished work on the Cross. This book will help you to appreciate and love Christ more. Please read it; cry occasionally; repent; and rise to embrace the Cross of Christ each day of your life. This book will transform you.

This is a book that is focused on the gospel. An easy read but does not sacrifice doctrinal clarity and orthodoxy. This is a great alternative to the "new" emerging Christian messages. Chapters on legalism and condemnation are particularly powerful. Great read for new Christians and Christians needing to kneel at the cross anew.

This book is truly a great one as C.J. Mahaney brings it all back to the cross. A lot of this book includes previous works, "The Cross Centered Life" and "Christ Our Mediator." I also had just listened to C.J.'s sermon from the 2005 Resolved Conference called "Interrogating the Legalist Within" so most of this was review. But if you have yet to read or listen to these, please pick this little book up, you will not be disappointed.

C.J. continues to bring out the cross in everything in this dissertation of the cross centered life. C.J. goes into understanding the cross in defining our lives, feelings (experience), God's love, Gethsemane, our part in the cross (sin), our suffering, legalism, condemnation (with much more) and then just the practical application.

C.J. gives five practical ways to live a cross centered life:

1. Memorize the Gospel: Memorize those scriptures that remind us of the gospel (2 Cor 5:21; Romans 8:31-34; Isaiah 53:3-6)

2. Pray the Gospel: Since the Gospel is the reason we can approach such a holy God, continue to pray the Gospel as a reminder of why you can speak to such an awesome God.

3. Sing the Gospel: Find songs and CD's whose focus in on the great and glorious Gospel and not on man. Those songs that concentrate on what He has done for us.

4. Review How the Gospel Has Changed You: Looking to your past, not for condemnation's sake, but for the reminder of mercy and grace

5. Study the Gospel: Don't only study books on the Gospel or only on the New Testament, but study the Old Testament and see Christ's fulfillment of It. Making sure that our studies don't leave the Gospel behind but builds itself upon It.

I would really recommend this to any and all Christians. Great reminders of how the Cross should impact our lives and how it has freed us from condemnation and the errors of legalism.

This is a great Bible study if you truly want to change your attitude. James MacDonald has an easy to read and understand style that gets the most out of the Word of God. He covers 10 attitudes putting off each of five negetive attitudes and replacing them with 5 positive attitudes using the Isrealites in Numbers as examples. This is the second time I have done this study and I really needed the review. This is a book you will want to read and review every year or so.

the author, James Mcdonald, has a way of being "real". We are a society of legalistic, religious people, missing God's true points. I think James hit a HomeRun with this one

A 2007 summer reading list mini review.

James MacDonald has written a relevant book about approaching life with the proper attitudes. The steps are clear as they are obtainable. It is written with a pastor's heart but also from the perspective of just an ordinary believer trying to follow God wholeheartedly no matter what.

Macdonald's candor about his own struggles helps the reader to deal honestly with their own. This is an excellent first book for those not famliliar with the concepts of "taking off and putting on." The book examines individual unbiblical attitudes such as complaining and rebellion and shows how to replace those with biblical attitudes.

what a great book! Sometimes life doesn't seem to be going anywhere and you feel stuck in a rut, unable to move forward...have you tried it all?? Check your attitude. What a wake up call to practical attitude adjustments that can really change the way you look at life and your circumstances. Sometimes instead of looking "out" a good look "inside" is the answer, and I think anyone could use that from time to time. It's not easy, but this book really helps guide you through it. I recommend it highly.

Very practical and helpful. Hits the nail right on the head. I would recommend this to anyone who recognizes a need for changes in their lives.

heard good things about this book but have not had time to read it yet.

"Making Love Last Forever" by Gary Smalley is a helpful tool for couples who wish to have a stronger and more intimate marriage. The title is about 270 pages and contains 16 chapters. Some of the topics are:

1. How to Address Unresolved Anger.
2. Balancing Expectations With Reality.
3. Five Vital Signs of a Healthy Marriage.
4. Better Communication.
5. Understanding Personality Types (this was my personal favorite, more about that later).
6. How to Bring the Best Out of Your Mate.
7. Dealing With Conflicts.
8. Divorce-Proofing Your Marriage.

I particularly liked the chapter on the different personality types. According to Smalley, there are four basic personality types that can be characterized by animals. While each person probably has characteristics of each, one or two most likely dominate:

1. Lion - likes to be in charge and can be a bit too pushy.
2. Otter - enjoys being with people but can lack focus.
3. Golden Retriever - loyal but can be too easily hurt.
4. Beaver - consistent but can be too critical.

Smalley takes the four types, describes their strengths and weaknesses, and suggests how to deal with each type and how each type can address their own negative tendencies. A very interesting chapter.

Read the book and be encouraged and challenged to work at having a better marriage. Highly recommended!

Gary Smalley's books will help every couple who reads them.

For more help with your marriage, take a look at these also:

The Man of Her Dreams The Woman of His 2 - Livin' It and Lovin' It! (Volume 2)

and

The Man of Her Dreams The Woman of His!

This is an excellent and useful book for married couples or engaged couples or anyone who is planning on getting married.

Garey Smalley presents a grand way to preserve a marriage: Develop a spiritual relationship with your spouse that outlasts ephemeral physical desire. While this is not a new idea, Smalley's personal presentation keeps the reader interested and tuned in.

Once I started reading this book, I found it difficult to put down. I'm now reading it a second time. Since applying the practical steps outlined, I've found it easier to rise above the obstacles in my life and find I'm making better decisions. I feel energized with an enlarged vision for my future and look forward to the second half of my life. I highly recommend this book to everyone wishing to enhance the quality of their lives.

I was amazed by how many of my own life experiences, thoughts, and feelings were similar to Tim's. I thank Tim for his suggestions on how to deal with them and move on to a happier and more productive way of living.

Midlife Tune-Up offers construction suggestions on important skills to build a better life. As in the author's examples, life throws us curves and this book gives us helpful strategies to take control of our future. It gives intellectual insights and a encouraging step-by-step plan on how to live and behave productively. We are reminded we do have a choice in our perception of life. This is a good thought provoking book with lots of information to absorb.

Being a mother is a job in itself but being a mother that works, owning a business, taking care of a house, raising two children and being a wife it can be overwhelming at times, but after reading this book it has some really good self help tips. I have known Tim Burns for several years now and he truly is a great person and he has such a warming spirit, that quite frankly is a rare find these days, so if you are looking for a great book with some great self help tips and just a great read, pick up Mid Life Tune Up you will love it as I did.

"Midlife tune-Up" is an honest, straight forward outlook on coping with difficulties on aging and change. As Tim pulls from his own personal life, he is able to target main concerns of both men and women. This is an informative and insightful take on how to manage with what inevitably happens to all of us... age, change and challenge.

Our book study just completed Miracles Do Happen. It was incredible to see God open hearts and minds to Jesus' healing power. It's written in a simple style but it packs a punch in terms of presenting the Gospel. The son of a friend of our group was diagnosed with a recurrence of a brain tumor, and just like in the book, Sister Briege showed up in our town and was able to pray with him and his family. His prognosis is now quite favorable, praise God. If you want to hear the story of how Jesus still cares about His people, how Jesus is still in the healing business and you need a reason to have hope in Christ, this book is the best choice I've ever seen.

This is a great inspiration to me, though I am not catholic.
Her words are uplifting and healing.

"Miracles Do Happen" is an excellent testimony to the power of faith. Briege Mckenna developed sever arthritis as a young adult, which confined her to a wheel chair. When attending a Catholic Charismatic prayer services, she was miraculously healed. Allegedly, she received a private revelation, in which God asked her to be a healer to others. She debated whether the message was really from God, as she was a member of a contemplative community, but after a period of discernment and a series of signs, she lost all doubt.

"Miracles do Happen" is an autobiography of Sr. Briege's healing ministry. She prays for people and many have been healed of spiritual and physical pains and diseases. The book is full of stories and photos of people, whom she has encountered during her journey and many of whom were healed by prayers. It is easy to be skeptical of spiritual healers today, but unlike many charlatans in the field, Sr. Briege does not accept money or promote products or methodology for financial gains. The book is great for renewing faith in prayer, and offers much guidance and learning to discern God's voice in your life through prayer. Sr.Briege herself spends an estimated two-three hours in prayer each day, and write about the types of Christian spiritual practices which have been spiritually edifying for her.

This is a simple book about the role that prayer and faith has played in her life, and in the lives of others whom she has had the fortune to know, during her religious life and is not bogged down in theological explanations or issues related to debatable doctrines. It is written simply as an intimate conversation, as often is the case of works from saints, and when one reads it one has to wonder if they are living in a very special life time of a woman who might be recognized as a saint in the future.

This is a wonderful book. We often need to remind ourselves about the present of our Lord Jesus Christ in our daily lives, and Sr. McKenna has done a wonderful job of doing so. Buy, read and believe...

This is the story of how Sister Breige McKenna became a healer of human bodies and human souls. She herself had a instantaneous healing from Rhematoid Arthritis. Because of this book I sought out her phone number and upon hearing a healing prayer over the phone, I was healed spiritually. I have never been the same and I thank God for it! Buy this, you won't regret it!!!

This book contains over 300 sayings of Jesus from ancient Islamic sources. One has to remember that Christianity in its original form spread to Arabic areas also, and I think its actually fascinating to get a small glimpse of the Jesus that was preserved up to the present time in those areas. In my opinion most of the sayings in the book refer to the Gnostic Christianity, but many of them are new to gnostics also.

In the Muslim tradition there are many sayings and stories of Jesus which cannot be found elsewhere. Khalidi collects about 300 of these and presents them in a clear translation. The introduction and notes are not very exciting, but they provide a general background to the sayings. Although Khalidi's is the largest collection, Robson's Christ in Islam contains many other sayings and stories, including the stories about Jesus from the Qur'an, and is a good complement to this book.

Mr Khalidi brings us a superb and definitive collection of sayings and actions attributed to Jesus in Islamic legend. Sharing with the Gospels a view of Jesus as a paradigm of piety, humility and compassion, this superb collection is spiritually uplifting and informative. Buy this and learn another faith's respect for Christianity's Messiah. Excellent.

While it is obvious that Islamic writers have co-opted some of Jesus Christ's wisdom and have deliberately tried to recast Christ in an effort to have Him conform to their religion, many of the sayings attributed to Christ are still quite transcendent and, in fact, prophetic. A saying attributed to Jesus Christ in this book clearly rebukes the lies coming from Islamic extremism, it is saying 17, from page 61:

Jesus was asked, "Spirit and Word of God, who is the most seditious of men?" He replied, "The scholar who is in error. If a scholar errs, a host of people will fall into error because of him."

This is an informative text and can only strengthen your knowledge of Jesus & Islam. There is little comment in the book and some passages will remain a mystery. There are several parallel stories to Gnostic texts in the text.
It shows that Jew-Dao-Christian & Islam are so closely related. Well worth a read for a seeker of understanding & knowledge and some challenges to your view of Jesus Christ.

Peace

This is an all-round excellent edition of the Greek New Testament.

The text font is large and highly readable; similar to what you would find in a Biblical Greek textbook. Overall, the external quality of the book is very high, especially taking into consideration the retail price.

Variant Byzantine readings are included in the margin where they have a significant amount of textual support (although no detail is provided in regards to specific manuscript support of each variant). ALL variations between this text and the NA27/UBS4 base text are also included in the footnotes, even when these are only very minor such as word order (I did a quick comparison of one chapter between this text and the NA27 and all variants were definitely noted).

Accents, Breathings, capitalization and punctuation have been added to the text to improve readability (although these were not included in the original manuscripts they are certainly helpful for those of us who are not experts in Koine Greek). Paragraph divisions and chapter/verse numbers have also been added. Subject headings are not included in the text.

This edition also contains a good introduction and appendix outlining some general introductory information about the various text types and presenting the editors reasons for their choice of texts. Even if you are a NA27 proponent these articles still contain valuable information, and alert the reader to the methodology utilized by the editors when choosing between competing manuscripts.

Conclusion: If you are after a well-priced and highly readable edition of the Greek New Testament, this is a highly viable option.

Setting aside for the moment the issue of the underlying text, this is a GREAT Greek NT to own. The other reviewers are absolutley correct; The font on this text is by far the best available, large and clear and dark, printed on nice white paper. It is almost as large as the large print Nestle Aland and larger than the UBS 4. Both of those books for some reason have yellow paper, the white paper is much nicer. The binding on this book is MUCH better than the NA or UBS stuff which is known to fall apart with any use at all. The cover on this book is a nice red/gold/black. Because there is more Greek text per page than anything else available, this book is thinner and more light weight than others which does make a difference. All this at an excellent price!

Now as far as the idea that the Byzantine text is closer to the original than the primarily Alexandrian text underlying NA27 and UBS 4, I would say that even if you don't beleive this to be true you should still buy this text because at the bottom of the page you have every reading from NA27 which differs from this text. Thus if you are an enthusiast for NA27 you can see all the places where it disagrees from what is more or less a modified version of the Textus Receptus. When you do this I think you will be struck with a few things. Number one, both texts agree most of the time, say 95%. Where they disagree a lot of the differences are very minor, DE for KAI, a different word order, maybe an article missing or added. More importantly, you will note that MANY of the readings in this text appear shorter and more difficult according to the traditonal criteria and therefore on the surface would appear more likely to be original. Robinson points out in an appendix that NA27 excludes these readings because they come from a "late" texts, but you can't have it both ways. If more difficult readings are likely to be original, how come Robinson's text has so many more difficult readings. What all this does I think is lower your confidence in textual criticism. You are left with the impression that this text for the most part is likley to be as close to the original as NA 27. Maybe it does make sense to read instead of a text which is a hodgepodge of speculations from modern scholars to read a text which at least represents readings that are found in a textual family that is earlier enough. Particularly when again you have all the readings of NA 27 in footnotes.

But even if you think this text is late and secondary, it still is nice to have as a resource. You can use it more closely with a KJV or a New KJV translation if that is your preference, and it is kind of nice to have a text which for example includes the doxology in the Lord's prayer right in the text. But above all, for pure joy of reading the external features of this text as so superior to UBS or NA that I would at least get it to supplement one of those, again considering the price is so cheap.

Excellent in it's simplicity. Robinson and Pierpont give you exactly what you want and nothing you don't. This book is just what it's title claims it to be, "The New Testament in the Original Greek". There are no Strong's numbers or any other kind of "helps" in the text; it's all Greek baby! So understand that you'll need to at least learn the Greek alphabet and a few basic words going in, but it is what it is. I give this book the highest rating.

I have long believed the Majority Text (MT) to be superior to the Critical Text (CT, i.e., the NA/ UBS text) and even to the Textus Receptus (TR). My first introduction to the MT was via the textual footnotes in the NKJV. These reference Hodges and Farstad's Majority Text.

Later I became aware of Robison & Pierpont's MT, and having studied their differing methodologies, I came to believe that R&P's was even more accurate. However, it should be noted that the differences between these two texts are minimal. This is even truer for the Second Edition of R&P's text as some of the changes between editions brought R&P's text into alignment with the H&F text. I discuss in detail my reasons for preferring the R&P's MT to the CT and TR and even to H&F's MT in my book Differences Between Bible Versions.

So when I felt God was leading me to produce my own translation of the NT back in 1999, I naturally used R&P's text. The First Edition of the text was available on my BibleWorks program, which I used extensively in my translation work. But I was also able to contact Maurice Robinson, and he graciously emailed me a digital copy of his text, with changes that had been made to it at that point in preparation for his Second Edition. So the First Edition of my Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament: Third Editionwas as up-to-date as possible.

In 2005 I began work on the Second Edition of my ALT, and Dr. Robinson once again helped me out by sending me a list of changes between his First and Second Editions, so ALT2 could be based on the new edition. He also sent me a list of all of the Byzantine alternative readings that would appear as footnotes in his new edition. These indicate places where the Byzantine Greek manuscripts are closely divided. But I wasn't able to include those in ALT2.

In 2007, I published a Third Edition of the ALT, along with an accompanying Companion Volume to the Analytical-Literal Translation: Third Edition. In this volume, I was able to include translations of the Byzantine alternative readings. In many cases, the difference between the main text and the alternate reading is so minor that it does not show up in translation. But my "Companion Volume" lists all of the alternate readings where the difference is translatable. But even then, most of the time, the difference between the main text and the alternate reading is very minor. So the reader can have full confidence in the integrity of R&P's Greek text.

So I have been working extensively with this Greek text for some time, even before it was published. But it good to see that Dr. Robinson was finally able to get his text published in a very readable and usable format.

This is an absolute joy to read!! Anyone interested in the Greek New Testament should definetly add this to their library. If your new to learning the Greek language, or are in the dark on the majorty text issue, this is a great resource. This book is also very easy to read. Also, the New Testament in this book is completely in Greek, no Engish in an interlinear format, or on oppsing pages!! The introduction, preface, ect. are in English though. I give this product an A+!!!

This book is a must read. I understand it is 10 years old but when you read it you forget that. It is relevant to the life we live today. Tony explores all the excuses we (men) use as to why we are not good husbands, fathers, friends etc. Tony crushes all of those excuses using the only book that really matters, the Bible. The Biblical references is what makes this book so powerful. It is one thing to read a book where someone is telling you how they made it through hard times. Most of us will read those types of books and think it does not pertain to me personally. However Tony gave Biblical examples that far exceed any struggles we have ever had in life. One of the examples is of Joseph and how he was imprisoned for all those years. Prison in Biblical times are far worse than they are today despite what stories we hear from those who have been. This book is a life changer, if you open your eyes, ears and hearts to it. It is truly inspriational and I recommend this book to every MAN to read. There is so much I want to write about this book, but I do not want to give it away. There is no excuse in this life for any shortfalls we have. If you read this book I guarantee you will find that whatever you say is holding you back is minor compared to what is in the Bible. So read this book and throw your excuses out the door.

My husband and his men's accountability group love this book.
He says that it has been extremely encouraging to each member and has been extremely helpful to each of them as they study together.

Excuses, excuses, we all use them from time to time. This book states that all the excuses that men make does not change the fact that God has given men responsibilities to their families, church, and community.

Tony Evans writes about all the excuses that men use and addresses them by using men from the bible to show how they overcame.


Obviously No More Excuses applies to men who are responding by the thousands to the call for more devotion to God-principles through the Promise Keepers movement. But it makes worthwhile reading for any man, not to mention encouragment for women. Stop making excuses and Be the man GOD made you to be!!!

This is a great book for a men's study group. Tony re-opens familiar stories of the Bible and tells them in such a real way that makes it easy for us to apply them to our life's today.

This book is nothing but amazing. No More Excuses has changed my life only for the better. Tony Evans starts each chapter with a perfect segway into a story from the Bible that helps you understand where we should be as Christian Men. It's funny how many times I catch myself saying to people, "It sounds like you need to read no more excuses!"
