Close Reading: Plans and Projects for Multiple
Readings of Holy Scripture
My wife loves this new book, and so does everyone whom I have asked to review it. I hope you will too. This is a book about reading your Bible. More particularly, it is a book about reading your Bible better.
Wouldn’t you like the puzzle pieces of what you do know fit together in a way that your understood? Wouldn’t you love to see the whole narrative of the Bible unfold before you and understand how every book of the Bible told the same story of God’s love and forgiveness?
That is what this book is designed to help you see. The adventure will be all yours.

Liturgies for Life: A Companion to a Life of Prayer
(The Sojourning Press)
They had a pattern of life that was designed to make every day and every moment sacred. Three times a day, morning, mid-day and evening, Jews of Jesus’ day would stop to pray and remember the goodness of God. It was a way of calling the heart to remember the Shema, the ancient call to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength (Deut. 6:4-9). LITURGIES FOR LIFE is an attempt to help the modern follower of Jesus to pick up an ancient pattern as a part of their own spiritual formation and desire to live passionately for and like Christ. Read it to help you saturate every day with thoughts of Christ.

The Ultimate Book of Names: The Names of God in All the Books of the Bible
God is jealous for His name. His own name is precious to Him and He wants us to revere and honor it. And that is what makes a study of His name in the Bible not only appropriate, but a powerful stimulus to our own growth and maturity in Christ. This book catalogs, defines and indexes every name, title and metaphor used to describe God in every book of the Bible and includes hundreds of other helps and Bible aids along the way. Start now on a new quest to understand what God wants you to know about Himself. This will become your new companion in Bible Study returning to it over and over again, and suggesting new paths for your meditations on God’s self-revelation in Scripture.

An Ordination Sermon by Robert M. McCheyne
Edited by Marty Schoenleber, Jr.

Don’t hire a new preacher before everyone on your search team reads this little book. He will be better served, the church will be better served, and Jesus will receive the glory due His name if they understand the job of the preacher and the task of a congregation who sits under the exposition of God’s word.

You Might Also be Interested in My Son’s Second Novel
This is a fantastic young adult novel that every adult will enjoy. Story line? Think C.S. Lewis meets Dr. Who in a steampunk world, in a desert on the edge of a jungle with a mysterious female heroine and let the adventure begin. Read it and you might become one of the myriad of fans clamouring for a sequel.
His first novel was never published but this one is available now and if you contact him directly and ask really nicely, you might be able to get him to sell you a copy of his book of poetry which is also excellent. And by the way, just because I love him and am biased doesn’t mean I’m not absolutely right.

Hello Marty
Thank you so much for your offer of the PDF. I live in the UK, so I wonder if there is a way of transferring money to you electronically, perhaps via PayPal or bank transfer? Alternatively, I will see how to get a check to you issued in dollars from my bank, or perhaps get the dollar notes sent in the mail. With many thanks, Rob

Hi Marty Thank you so much for this link and your offer, I appreciate it. In fact, I did get $7 in bills to send to you, but I haven’t got round to sending them off, my apologies. I will do so on Tuesday if you’re still happy for me to send the money. But I will certainly post a review on Amazon anyway if I find it helpful. I did find a problem with downloading via Google Drive, and I’ve not yet been able to do so. If you were OK with this, perhaps you could send the PDF via my email at rbetts at btinternet dot com.
With many thanks,
Every blessing,
Rob
