 | Here I Stand: A Life of Martin LutherAuthor: Roland H. BaintonBinding: Paperback List price: $15.00 USD Amazon price: $10.20 USD |
Reviewer: T. B. Vick "Learn 2 Discern" (The Lone Star State)
This biography is the most accurate and unprejudiced ever written on Luther (and I have read dozens of them). Bainton provides very lucid and vivid historical settings, events, people, and such surrounding the life of Luther. What is more, Bainton is quite fair-minded with regard to Luther's personal traits; I get tired of reading other biographers who try to psychoanalyze Luther and draw conclusions about his thinking based on pure speculations. Bainton renders a fair assessment of perhaps why, based on historical settings and events which were occurring during Luther's day, as to why he perhaps did and said some of the things he did.

 | Jack: A Life of C. S. LewisAuthor: George SayerBinding: Paperback List price: $19.99 USD Amazon price: $13.59 USD |
Reviewer: Jeffrey A. Thompson (Iowa City, IA USA)
At one time I had read most of the biographies out there on C. S. Lewis. This one is by far the best. Sayer had a long friendship with Lewis and tells what he knows about Lewis and does not theorize about what he does not know. The reader feels the warmth and respect Sayer has for Lewis and also the puzzlement one has with close friends whose strange behaviors in the past are not fully explained.
Sayer addresses the C. S. Lewis's friendship with Tolkien, Dyson and other Inklings. Sayer does a good job of relating Lewis's conversion to Christianity. Sayer explains the arguments and personal struggles that surrounded the conversion. Sayer writes about Joy and Mrs. Moore, which gives a more fuller and more generous picture of both women than some other biographies. Sayer has the background for literary criticism and writes about Lewis's poetry, the Chronicles of Narnia and most of his other writings.

 | The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for JesusAuthor: Lee StrobelBinding: Paperback List price: $13.99 USD Amazon price: $11.19 USD |
Amazon.com
The Case for Christ records Lee Strobel's attempt to "determine if there's credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God." The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger. Each interview is based on a simple question, concerning historical evidence (for example, "Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?"), scientific evidence, ("Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?"), and "psychiatric evidence" ("Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?").

Courtney Anderson has done an incredible job compiling journals, articles and history to recreate the story of this amazing man.

Through reading the details of his childhood, we can see all the events that God orchestrated to bring about his conversion and shortly after, his ambitious heart for global missions. The haystack prayer meeting, his rejection of congregationalism on the ship to India, his time spent with William Carey, and the account of his first Burmese convert, are just a few of the famous stories in the world of missions that are intimately tied into the biography. Your heart will break as Judson experiences the death of some of his closest friends early in his missionary career. You will cry as he loses wife after wife to the hardships of missionary life.
