Always True: A Book Review
933547
What I really like about this book is that it is easy to read, practical and down to earth. It is written in simple layman's term and does not contain heavy doctrinal jargon that is hard to understand, except maybe for the word "theology."  This word as used in this book, according to Merriam Webster simply means "the study of religious faith, practice, and experience; especially: the study of God and of God's relation to the world."

The five promises as presented here are based on sound biblical doctrine pointing the reader towards faith in Jesus Christ. It also talks about assurance of God's love and His offer of solution to problems common to man such as fear, hopelessness, despair, etc.

Always True is highly recommended to all whose hope is faltering, who like most of us needs a solid ground where he can stand. This book will lead us to trust in God - the ultimate Promiser and keeper of His promise.

I love this book! It is full of insights and useful observations, and presents opportunities to disagree. I enjoyed the detailed table of contents, excellent content, focused examples from favorite authors, the references to E.B. White and the humorous observations, such as the note about J.K. Rowling.

Tip: When buying a used copy, confirm that the edition in your cart is the one you ordered.

Mr. Trivino's book is a superb combination of auto-biography with principles of leadership rolled up into the story.  It is very interesting reading.  Furthermore, the principles of leadership he expounds upon are those that are truly relevant in the real world to guys/gals who have to lead teams of operational personnel.

Although many people, once great fans of this book, are now speaking negatively about it, I feel that it is a great book, and there are many others who feel the same way. I read this book long before the controversy, even long before it entered Oprah's Book Club, and I have always believed in James Frey's credibility. The novel is interestingly written as well as interesting; it is difficult to not become completely absorbed in the novel. Fiction or nonfiction, A Million Little Pieces is a fantastic book.

Many nonfiction books written are not completely factual. Authors many times exaggerate and elaborate to make for a more interesting story for their readers. James Frey did spend time in rehab, and that is what his book is written about. Millions of people read the book before its credibility became questionable, and the majority of those people enjoyed the book. The categorization of the book: fiction or nonfiction should not matter to readers. What should matter to readers is the quality and feeling of the book, both of which are extraordinary.

A wonderful book! I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read true stories of God's working in our world.

This is a real nice read. It's written beautifully. The slow pace at the first half of the book is compensated by the fast pace at the other half where things get really into action.
The point about this book is that it shows how people can get attached to a certain belief no matter true or false. It's the contradiction between what's true and what we want to be true.

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. Its impossible to put the book down once you start reading. The reader is reminded that they are not alone in the battles and complexities of life, but that there are others who face similar situations. I have enjoyed every minute of reading this book, and I would recommend it to everyone I know. Heres a book that can change lives. -DezzyJ

Illusions by Richard Bach was a Great book! It talked of many daily problem solving topics. It had some good quotes in it, even one of my friends who just picked it up to look at it and looked inside read some of the quotes and she said that there were some that really touched her.

This book was almost exactly what i expected. It arrived clean, new and completely up to date.
The book is full of interesting facts and is well written and easy to understand. Mainly based on scientific fact (which is very appealing to me) it combines established fact with quirky experimentative new progressions in science.
One down point, however, is the authors convictions about the theory of evolution. The only hint of exactly how convicted the author Jena Pincott was on the basis of evolution is on the back cover where it merely says "Jena Pincott has a background in biology" which doesn't (now i may be alone here) suggest to me that she is an avid believer in the evolution theory. I was slightly annoyed and disappointed that she often makes reference to our ape "ancestors". I now understand belief in evolution comes with the territory of biology.
Overall it makes a good read with little, easy to remember facts.

About the Book:

Well-meaning people want to believe that all roads lead to the same God and heaven. But wanting something to be true is far different from truth lining up with reality. Unless you make an intentional effort to examine what you believe and why you believe it, it's quite possible you are living your life on the basis of a lie, and don't know it.

- What is truth?
- Is it relative or absolute?
- Is it personal or universal? - What are the differences among the various religious faiths? Can they be blended?
- Are we creating faith--a belief system--that is impotent by trying to accept all religions as equal?

An engaging and personal, yet thoughtful and fact-filed book in Christian apologetics. Pamela Christian's desire for people to discover and live in truth is respectful and compelling.

Endorsed by Josh McDowell, Dr. Craig Hazen and Dan Story, among others.

About the Author:

For over twenty years, coast to coast, Pamela Christian, "the Faith Doctor" has been helping people in matters of faith. As a radio broadcaster, author, speaker and teacher, Pam compassionately wants people to confidently discover truth. She and her husband live in Orange County, CA, with their two grown children living nearby.

My Review:

 Pamela Christian has put together a wonderful commentary on faith which is the first book in a three book series. The first book, Examine Your Faith deals with the believing faith aspect and all that this entails. She invites us in the first book to really examine our own faith. The author goes through several different religions and beliefs as a way for the reader to really understand and come to their own conclusions about what they believe and how they believe.

 The author takes you step by step through different aspects of faith along her journey of learning more about why we should believe the way that we do. I liked her basic explanation of faith. Faith and believing are not the same thing. You see we believe in Jesus but we may not have whole hearted faith that he will come through for us in times of trouble. There is a definite difference in the two, the author explains.

Excellent book from cover to cover.  The book reflects the life of the writer, which includes along the way various feelings of emotion.  The reader becomes involved in the emotions and moments of joy, tears, and reflections of the reader's own life, as the book flows from one of life's events to another.  The writer is very careful to make every account and detail easy to read and understand by all ages.  Once the reader begins to read the book, it is difficult to stop without completing it.  It is well written and is recommended to all.

This long awaited book from a champion of innovative libraries brings together the ideas, learnings and wisdom from more than 20 years of reinventing modern libraries.  More than a theoretical guide, Ron Starker provides real life anecdotal evidence of not only where libraries have come from, but more importantly, a roadmap for where libraries should be heading if they are to remain relevant tomorrow. Essential reading for both new and experienced librarians, and anyone interested in understanding the importance of thoughtful and reflective innovations in our centers of collaboration, creativity and learning.

I maintain a current book to read, and most often, that book is Christian literature.  I'd say this is among my all-time top 10 books ever read.  It's very relevant, inspiring and practical.
