The Story of the Bible: The Fascinating History of Its Writing, Translation & Effect on Civilization by Larry Stone is a wonderful resource to help you learn more about the Bible and how it came to be. It presents stories of those that sacrificed, some going so far as to giving their lives, to make the Bible available to God’s people. It is extremely interesting and grabs the reader’s attention from the very beginning.
Another wonderful feature of this volume is the 23 removable document recreations that accompany the text. They include reproductions of pages from some of history’s most important Bibles, such as the Gutenberg Bible, Book of Kells, Codex Sinaiticus and portions of the Dead Sea Scrolls. These documents add a significant amount of historical significance to this volume.
I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about the Bible and how it came to be. It will provide hours of enjoyment to the entire family!

Doing Virtuous Business: The Remarkable Success of Spiritual Enterprise by Theodore Roosevelt Malloch
Doing Virtuous Business by Theodore Roosevelt Malloch is an excellent book that presents the theory that creating wealth through virtuous means is a Biblically sound principle. The book explores how companies that follow an ethical business model often perform at a higher level than their competitors.
This will be an excellent book for those that have the notion that capitalism is inherently evil as it presents the idea that business conducted ethically is actually a virtue. Those in business for themselves will gain valuable information from this book to use in their day-to-day operations.
I would quickly recommend this book to anyone that studies business or has an interest in learning more about businesses that operate in a Biblically ethical way.

The Band that Played On by Steve Turner
The Band that Played On by Steve Turner presents the inspiring story of the musicians on the fateful maiden voyage of the Titanic. It was very interesting to learn the life stories of these brave musicians that remained on board while the ship was sinking in order to help the other passengers remain calm.
This book presents information that has not been overly explored in previous Titanic publications. It will be of interest to Titanic and history buffs alike.
I would recommend this book to anyone that has an interest in the Titanic as well in an inspiring story of bravery and compassion!

A Conversation with God by Alton Gansky
A Conversation with God by Alton Gansky is a unique book written as a series of questions and answers with God, Jesus, and other Biblical figures. 55 questions are presented and answers are presented in first person language as if answered by God and Jesus themselves. This is a great concept and makes the book very interesting to read.
Each question is just a few pages making this book a great daily devotional to enable you to digest the information presented in each answer. I found the information well presented and Biblically sound. Questions answered include, “God, who are you? What are you?” and “Is Satan for real?” and many others.
This is an excellent book for anyone seeking answers to the questions that we all would love to ask God. I would recommend it to anyone searching for those answers!
