And A Little Theology, Don't Drown It May be Deep

Don't Waste Your Life Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
Piper is at his best explaining why God put us here in the first place. The title is a negative way of saying, Be Sure Your Life Counts."



Even though it is a short book, don't plan on a fast read. Savor it and take time to meditate on your single passion to live for.

Fun Reading, If You Can Keep From Worrying

Extreme Measures: A Thriller Extreme Measures: A Thriller by Vince Flynn


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
This one is a page turner. It is hard to put down. A third terrorist cell is on its way to the US. Can Rapp and Nash intercept them or will the senate judiciary committee chairman have her way and toss our heroes in the clink, for using extreme measures?



This may help explain the somber look on Obama's face when he exited his first briefing with the president. He needs our prayer because while the book is fiction, the issues are not.

A Little Global Warming in a Snowstorm

Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed by Christopher Horner


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Christopher C. Horner gives evidence that the whole Global Warming "Crisis" is a political ploy. He documents how scientists who do not fawn over the politically correct line are shut out. This includes their being disinvited from summits, conferences, etc., because this isn't about the environment it is about government.



Oh, and money! While environmental enthusiasts point out any contribution global warming skeptics receive from any energy producer they neglect to point out that the global warming crisis is a 6 billion dollar a year industry that would disappear overnight if there were no "crisis."



While this is not a book dedicated to Global Warming statistics, it uses plenty of them while making the point that the whole "crisis" has as its goals, 1.) bigger government; "the Koyoto Protocol is the first component of an authentic global governance." (former French president Jacques Chirac) and 2.) Money as described above.



Those of you my dear readers who have been convinced by the Al Gores of this world will never believe me, so read this book. I gave it only 4 stars because some of the writing is difficult to follow mainly due to the detail he gives some of the issues.



It is definitely a must read for anyone who is truly interested in truth, not propaganda.
