The path of following Jesus is an ancient and storied spiritual tradition. Yet many believers are not familiar with the three major forms of prayer and the three stages of spiritual growth that exist to bring them closer to God. In his most personal book yet, Brant Pitre, PhD, draws on the riches of the Bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of mystics across the centuries to shed light on the mystery - and wonder - of the spiritual life.

So Helpful!
Revisado: 06-08-23
This book acts as a review and reminder of how God works in a soul. I really appreciated how it constantly encourages prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in order to help us overcome ourselves and temptations and seek unity with God. I will probably read this book again.

This classic work from Thomas à Kempis, author of The Imitation of Christ, is now available in English for the first time. It is a simple truth that, without the virtue of humility, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. It simply cannot be done. Just as pride is the root and source of all sin, so is humility, the foundational virtue in which all other virtues must be grounded if they are to bear fruit. Humility is the heartbeat of the saints. It is the virtue that conforms us most closely to Christ.

humility explained

I love the explanation of humility in this book! the second half is okay but the first part on humility is a true gem.

Oblivion is a well told story with interesting characters and vibrant world building. Although the setup does take time to draw the reader in, it is, none-the-less, a powerful story. While definitely not perfect, this is an author to keep an eye on.

Death, it seems, isn’t always the end. I was a soldier, fighting for the lives of the whole damned world, when I went and got myself obliterated by this alien f**k. I figured that was it. Game over, done. But then I woke up in a different body, in a strange world full of dust and ruins, with awesome martial arts skills I’d never had before. Not to mention a chi gift thing that seemed to work a lot like magic. I had no clue why or how it all happened. All I knew was that there were these monster girls I was supposed to protect from an endless horde of semi-human things.

Another fun read from Jack Porter
Revisado: 05-12-20
Jack Porter’s Rogan's Monsters is a classic adventure story with a litRPG and Harem flare. It is a solid entry in the genre and I am impressed with the creative elements and the overall smooth writing that seems to characterize Porters works. This is just a fun read that doesn’t devolve into silliness. The only problem is its too short.

I was a bit of a rogue, picking pockets and seducing women, without a care for the future. Now, with the aid of a beautiful enchantress and a pet rat dragon, I'm out for revenge. Trouble is, my target is one of the most powerful, ruthless men in the city. But what he doesn't know is that I'm no longer playing by his rules. I'm playing by my own. No matter what dark, hidden secrets I uncover in the process.

Revisado: 05-12-20
This is the first book that I have read by Jack Porter and I have to say that I’m impressed. This genre is often filled with poor characterization and juvenile depictions of sexual encounters. That is not the case with The Bastard. Here Porter crafts a world that manages to the Arthurian story into a very entertaining fantasy tale where things are more than they seem. Its such a relief to read a story from this genre that is tasteful. I will likely read more of Porters works.

Get the first three books in the Kid Sensation series. Like millions of other kids, Jim grew up wanting to be a superhero. Unlike most of his contemporaries, however, Jim actually had the goods: a plethora of super powers that would have been the envy of any meta on the planet. But when his tryout with the Alpha League - the world's premiere group of supers - goes disastrously wrong, Jim basically becomes an outcast.

Revisado: 04-13-20
I love it when an author creates a world that makes a reader want to go back over and over. This is exactly what Kevin Hardman has done for me in the Kid Sensation series. When I am looking for superhero book for a fun read with a good plot this has become my new go to. It’s a great coming of age YA series that manages to be both highly entertaining, and creative while holding to a classic, comic-style superhero feel. I enjoyed this so much that I can say with confidence that I will defiantly be reading more books in his series.

Garath was a gamer that spent his time adventuring in magical worlds behind a keyboard. He was exploring one of those very worlds when the planet that he actually inhabited became suddenly, and drastically more interesting. The ability to shapeshift into a house cat or summon a demon to serve him were things that were only possible in video games and epic fantasy novels, until they weren't. He may not have had the luxury of a controller or mouse to explore his new abilities, but Garath's dream came true when Earth was fundamentally altered.

Just Wow
Revisado: 04-08-20
I am always on the lookout for discovering a new great book, unfortunately the great ones are few and far between. The Culling of Man is one of those rare books that makes weeding through all the bad ones worth it. It is perhaps the most unique and original entry into the a LitRPG world that I have read to date, and best of all it’s realistic. The main character is not overpowered and what he does makes sense with the overall story arc. If you like LitRPGs than this is one of the top ones that I have read. I truly cannot wait for the next one.

Great beginning
Revisado: 02-08-20
Ravine of Blood and Shadow is an excellent introduction to a fantasy landscape entirely dominated by dwarves. It is a world steeped in legend and mystery that draws the reader in and immerses them in the rich culture. All this to say that the world building is fantastic and truly feels I. Combine this with an interesting story and a well-paced plot and it make for a good read. As it is written like an epic, my only critique is that it needs to be longer to fully satisfy. With that said, this is by far the best dwarf centered fantasy that I have read. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Jason had it all, and yet he still couldn't prevent his father's death. He didn't even have time to grieve as his mission took precedence over all else. Pressing onward was the only path. But did he possess enough strength to clear the tower, even with Roy and Olivia at his back? The answer was obvious: Only with humanity's best could he stand a fighting chance. Yet as his actions influenced the world, the more things changed. Worse, his secret identity, Index, was in the spotlight for releasing knowledge that couldn't possibly be known.

Practically Perfect
Revisado: 12-17-19
The Towers of Heaven series is not your normal LitRPG. While I enjoy the genre, I don’t expect them to be anything other than fantasy romps that are light hearted and enjoyable. This book however, is complex and believable, it feels more like you are reading an epic fantasy disguised as a LitRPG. While, I’m sure the book has its flaws, to me it’s the a perfect LitRPG. I truly cannot wait for the next installment. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

One day, six towers appear on Earth. Each one stands hundreds of stories tall, and are invulnerable to all attacks. At the base of each tower is a portal, welcoming in all who dare enter it. All sorts of magical monsters can be found inside the towers. Even treasure, magic, and superhuman strength can be acquired. The problem is that the towers aren't a friendly place. Even worse, the towers sometimes release waves of monsters to attack Earth. In the year 2083, there are only a hundred survivors. In one last attempt, they challenge the final floor without regard for their lives.

Addictive
I could not put this book down! Literally, I finished it in one sitting. While I do enjoy progression themed LitRPGs, this is was the most entertaining one I can remember reading. Too often the LitRPG genre is filled with simplistic characters and poor plots. Towers of Heaven doesn’t have this issue. Moreover, Cameron Milan conveys a world that is as dynamic as it is imaginative. The characters draw you in, the world captures your imagination, and plot grips you. Combine this all with spot-on narration from Steve Campbell and all I can say is that this book is truly fantastic.
