A Year in the New Testament

A Year in the New Testament by Douglas Bauman -- 386 pages

This contains readings for each day of the year from the Old Testament, Psalms, and New Testament of the Bible.  It also gives a short insight into the New Testament reading.  It was an interesting book and I would definitely recommend it for those wanting more insights in into the New Testament.
 

Girl Defined: God's Radical Design for Beauty, Femininity, and Identity by Kristen Clark, Bethany Baird

Girl Defined: God's Radical Design for Beauty, Femininity, and Identity by Kristen Clark, Bethany Baird -- 240 pages

Most of the principles that sisters Kristen and Bethany share in "Girl Defined" are not new or novel to a lot of Christian girls I know, but compiled in this easy-to-read (and pretty) little book, it is certainly ideal for young girls who seek to discover their purpose as a girl. Along with the same themes that run in other solid Christian books, Kristen and Bethany share their own stories that drive home different points, and leave journal space to write your own similar experiences or thoughts.

Under the Overpass: A Journey of Faith on the Streets of America by Mike Yankoski

Under the Overpass: A Journey of Faith on the Streets of America by Mike Yankoski -- 256 pages

Mike Yankoski was a young college student when he began to wonder what it would be like to really have to rely on God for his daily needs. He was convicted by his meaningless prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread," when he would after that go about his work to provide it himself. He decided after much prayer and counseling to experience what it was like to be homeless.

Mike paired up with a buddy named Sam and the two of them hit the streets, going to three different cities to live homeless with only a $3 sleeping mat, a backpack, a guitar, a Bible, and a journal.

Mike and Sam's account of living homeless is an eye opener to what it is really like to live on the streets. People turn away because you smell, they don't trust you because you are so ragged, and they don't help you because they assume you are on drugs or alcohol.

This story is one of faith and dependency on God, but even if you are not a Christian, it may answer some questions you've had and inspire you to help those in less fortunate situations.

Manga Bible, The Gospel, Part 1: Parables, Miracles and the Prince of Peace - 192 pages

This is a retelling of several Bible stories including parables and Jesus' miracles in comic strip format.  While it was interesting to see the artist's commentary throughout I didn't really care for this book.
