T
he Hammer of God is the story of a small Lutheran parish in Sweden. The novel is divided into three time periods, each telling the struggle of that generation. The first pastor has good intentions of preaching his people to repentance, but doesn't know when to offer forgiveness and grace. The years pass by and a new pastor is assigned. He believes his feelings are important, and is convinced that everyone in the parish must also develop a personal feeling of closeness with God. But then he realizes that it's more important for them to trust God's promises than to trust their feelings. Years later a new pastor comes to the same church, now nearly deserted. He had been trained as an "enlightened thinker" to look at life from a modern point of view. The remaining faithful Christians, however, demonstrate a living trust in Jesus risen from the dead, and he is humbled by their Christ-like mercy. -

T
his is a classic fantasy novel series by British author and Christian apologist, C.S. Lewis. These are wonderful stories to read to your children. There is much Christian symbolism throughout the series. Aslan, who represents Jesus, is not a tame lion, but he's good. -

ere are a lot of spiritual self-help books out there. This one is different. Instead of putting the focus on ourselves reaching up to heaven, this book focuses our attention on Christ and how He comes near to us. This book has enriched my understanding of prayer, meditation, and spiritual battle. -
