Book Review ~ Deadly Disclosures by Julie Cave

Deadly Disclosures

By: Julie Cave

What a beautiful mix of suspense and conspiracy theory! I love Julie's way of weaving each of the characters in the book through the complicated journey of science and faith. With special agents, intrigue and excitement around the corner of every page, you sit on the edge of your seat waiting to see where the characters are going to take you. By the end of the book you are completely worn out from the adventure you went on with the unforgettable agent Dinah Harris. 

There's even more great news...this is just the beginning of the Dinah Harris mystery series...there are two more books now available, The Shadowed Mind and Pieces of Light. If you love a great book full of adventure, then this series is for you!

Product Description

A Suspense-filled fiction mystery which answers an ominous question: How far will some go to silence an influential Christian voice? FBI agent Dinah Harris now has a missing person's file to go along with a bad case of alcohol abuse and the depression she cannot seem to shake. Fighting to keep her focus, she struggles to find answers for why Thomas Whitfield, the prominent Secretary of the Smithsonian has vanished from his office with foul play almost guaranteed. 

Whitfield's body is eventually found, and Dinah is drawn into a frightening conspiracy, as more people begin to die, and Whitfield's faith is revealed as part of the motive behind his murder. Dinah finds troubling answers in an academic world filled with powerful financial endowments and a virulent opposition to the faith Whitfield only recently found. 

Can she reveal the truth before she finds herself the next silenced victim of a ruthless, unseen enemy?

Book Review ~ Branded by: Tim Sinclair

Branded

Tim Sinclair

I have always had a heart for marketing, as a matter of fact, before I felt the call to go into ministry I was a marketing major in college and have always been fascinated in the whole concept of branding. So when I saw this book, Branded ~ Sharing Jesus With a Consumer Culture by Tim Sinclair, come through my email I just *knew* that this was a book that I would have to check out.

Let me just say that I was completely drawn in right from the beginning of the book. Tim Sinclair writes in such a way that you feel like you are sitting down in the middle of a book group talking about this with a group of friends. With his experience and personality he has written a book that speaks volumes to me and so many more.

Check this out from the book (page 45) // love love love this...

"What's the bottom line? Christians often try to change a person's culture rather than let God change her heart. We try to force others to act like us, with the hope that they'll eventually believe like us. That's entirely backward. Heart changes lead to a change in actions, not the other way around."

and...

" Jesus is bigger than the Christian culture-bubble you and I have put Him in. He can reach people anytime, anywhere."

and one last one from the same page...

"It's not our job to present a perfect person to Jesus - but to present a perfect Jesus to people."

BAM! That about says it all...there is so much in this book and if you are in ministry or are looking to be more effective in your witness to others, then this book is for you!

The church spends $1.5 million for every one new follower of Jesus. Apple sells 26 iPads every minute. What is it that makes Apple so exciting and Jesus so boring? What is it that compels someone to bring their iPod everywhere and their Bible nowhere? In a word: marketing. Jesus is a life-changing product with lousy salespeople-people who are intimidated and embarrassed by the word "evangelism" and who show more enthusiasm for their gadgets than their God.

What would life look like if we stopped mass-marketing Jesus and started marketing our faith like Nike and Apple market their products—sharing relationally, from person to person? Using examples from these and other successful companies, author Tim Sinclair challenges Christians to throw out their casual attitudes toward faith and sign on for a marketing campaign for the Savior.

Written with the wit and wisdom of an experienced marketer, Branded peels away the feelings of fear and encourages readers how to share their faith in ways that are honest, authentic, and, most importantly, effective.
