I love a good TinTin book! Been years since I've read them and now I found a large collection of them that I'll be reading through.

This is a great study into the Holy Spirit. Ryrie addresses so many facets of the Holy Spirit. If you have questions or are simply curious about the Holy Spirit then this book is a really good resource from a really good teacher.

A really solid book! Overall this book really forces you to evaluate your thought process and why you believe what you believe.
The authors focus on a few narrow topics that are pretty controversial and spark highly emotional responses. But their principles apply to pretty much every area of life. Are you convinced of a mindset based off heuristics or based off quantitative data? Be aware of the why behind your life choices

The true victims of conspiracy theories are those that suffer from the lack of benefits from the very thing that could save them but is demonized by those that are choosing to ignore the factual evidence.

A really fascinating look at the development of societies across the globe and why certain areas ended up with certain staples while other areas remained primitive for decades.
It is a bit dry and academic so if you can get past those elements then you will have a nice perspective of human development.

This is a great little book for #sports trivia fans. It's a fascinating look at a variety of sports. I'd recommend reading with a group of sports friends.

I read only The Mousetrap out of this collection since it's the one I've been meaning to read for some time. Man, what an absolute twisty ride! Really well done and keeps you guessing the entire time. Excellent work by #AgathaChristie #mystery #murder

Fun Fact: Richard Attenborough was in the London production in 1952!

I'm FINALLY getting around to reading this enduring play. I shockingly know nothing about this Christie production so I'm exited to go into The Mousetrap completely blind. Truly the queen of mystery.

This was a solid little mystery. Nothing super thrilling but didn't drag either. For a Miss Marple mystery it doesn't really feature her much until the end. I'm not disappointed I read this story but it's not on my re-read list either. I say read it but don't expect to be blown away.

A solid #AgathaChristie #mystery! She of course drops hints all along the way then clearly ties them up neatly at the very end.
Just the right length and set perfectly in a small town.

It's National Read A Book Day!! 📚 I wrapped up this book just in time to review it for today's holiday. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The stories are pretty easy to follow and you are not kept in the dark about much so it's nice to be able to follow along with the action which is pretty fast paced. If you're looking for a who-done-it then you'll need to turn elsewhere.
I plan to read more of Lupin now that I've started! On to Miss Marple! #mystery #classy

A beautiful work that results in provoking deep thought about the ideas that drove societies, key historical figures, and governments through time. Herman invites the reader to take stock of what ideas and world views are driving your daily decisions."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is an easy read. Marx clearly lays out the call to follow Jesus with your life and fight for what God commands. It's an encouraging look at what happens to someone's life that's surrendered to following God. At times the macho feels a bit much but that's the price of making the point that we often let weakness and fear run our lives.

If you find philosophy boring I encourage you to read about Peter Abelard's steamy love affair and the tragic conclusion. It's pretty wild. #nonfiction #history #philosophy

First review in a long time. I finally finished this trilogy! It was a really insightful look into the life of an incredibly interesting man who died too soon. Highly recommend if you're interested in Teddy. I will admit it did drag a bit at the end.

I picked this book up at the library on a whim. It turned out to be so good I bought a copy. It's now required reading for our family. The author does such a good job of presenting truth in a practical way to help equip parents to do their job.

This is a great book for helping you slow down in life, eliminating what's not important, and focusing on finding peaceful quality in your life regardless of where you're at. It helped me remind myself of not getting caught in the vortex of current culture.

This is a fun little history book that looks at the account of modern man from a different perspective. It's heavy enough to have satisfying substance yet light enough to not bore you with details.
