- 
40  Verses to Ignite Your Faith "  by  Laurie Polich  Short is a helpful book for the  Christian.  It  can be  used as a devotional.  The  passages  center on one   verse . The author  explains the  verse  first.  After the explanation with the back round the  author applies the  verse to the Christian life.  The   applications  are wonderful and help the  reader think  about their  life.  The  insights are very  valuable. After the   application  portion there are  reflection questions.   These are passages in the Bible   the reader may not think in  this deep of a level.  They are unique passages.  The   book  takes the  reader to another level of reflection.

 Tell Me the Stories of Jesus  is  by Albert Mohler. Al Mohler  is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He  hosts   The Briefing and "Thinking in Public".  This  book is a Christian living book.  The parables  were written  with an illustration. Jesus wanted  the audience  to think about what  He  was   saying  and then  move  to  recollect   on the deeper meaning  within the parables.  He  wanted the audience   to think  about where their heart is and to apply  the parables  to their life.  If the meaning is given in a straight forward way  it can be easy  to not think about your life because  the meaning  is given  to the audience and they do not have to pause and think  where Jesus is coming from.  The parables are creative. . This book gives great background  for each of the parables. It is very personable.  This book is well written.  It  is a great book for any Christian and for  any pastor. Thank you for netgalley , the publisher and the author f
