George Washington Carver by John Perry

John Perry presents us with a biography of a genius who was born a slave in Missouri−George Washington Carver. This biography delivers an entertaining account and perspective of George Washington Carver’s life. Perry shows us that Carver was truly a remarkable man−a devout Christian, a scientist, an artist, a teacher, a businessman, a healer−he wore many, many hats. Perry carries us from Carver’s birth in 1863 through his death on January 5, 1943.

Perry writes this biography in simple, easy-to-understand language, which immensely makes this book quite enjoyable to read and very hard to put down. It is more like reading an enjoyable story rather than a biography, but it is backed by notes (footnotes) and a bibliography. Perry has truly done an outstanding job in writing this biography.

It is so sad, and too bad, that George Washington Carver is not recognized in our world today as he should be for he did so much for the entire world. I feel many would enjoy reading this book.

The Story of the Bible by Larry Stone

The Story of the Bible by Larry Stone is a book to treasure for a lifetime. It relates to us the history of the Bible. It covers 3,500 years of Bible history. It tells us how we have gotten the many translations of the Bible; the Bible has been “translated into more than 2,400 of the world’s 6,900 living languages.” It also tells us about those who died to make GOD’S Word, the Bible, available to us today. It is packed with beautiful illustrations. It also has pull-outs to further your knowledge of the different Bible translations. This is truly an amazing and awe-inspiring book. This book will make you have more respect for GOD’S Word, the Bible. Every household should have one!

I am truly taken aback by this book. It has made me totally very, very, very respectful of GOD’S Word, the Bible. I have gained knowledge that I did not have before I read this book. It is quite beautiful, joyful, and heart-wringing to know that so many people have lost their lives and sacrificed living in normal societies in order to bring GOD’S Word, the Bible, to people all over the world. I did not even know that our early American settlers had taught our early American Indians about GOD and, in fact, had made Bibles available to them in their respective languages. I will always treasure this book.

On This Day In Christian History By Robert J. Morgan

On This Day contains random excerpts of Christian history presented in a calendar setting of 365 days. It is a book that is difficult to read in its entirety in one or two readings for it is a highly emotional book. The themes of the excerpts include, but not limited to, the institution of St. Valentine’s Day and images in church, the persecution and martyrdom of Christians, and wars between believers and unbelievers. Each day is presented with supporting Biblical authority, which is placed at the end of the excerpt.

I found On This Day to be very informative, inspirational, and exceedingly moving. I wish only that it would have contained a bibliography or reference index so that I could have conducted further research on the excerpts presented in it. However, I did research for other books of this nature by Robert J. Morgan, but found none. The reason I looked for his books was because I like his style. I hope he will do a series on this book, e.g., On This Day 2011, On This Day 2012, etc. ─ all about Christian history, until all Christian history has been exhausted. Robert J. Morgan, think about this!
