Average Joe by Troy Meeder


Average Joe by Troy Meeder

This book is a phenomenal read for all men, no matter what age. Meeder uses intriguing stories to convey deep and timely truths to the reader. The author describes many “Average Joe’s” he has had the pleasure of knowing in his life. These encouraging and enlightening stories, as well as scripture verses, allow Meeder to speak applicable wisdom to the reader.

This book was very interesting and insightful. Meeder does a great job of taking a lifetime of experience and using it to help train younger men of the faith. His advice is great for young men who may have never considered the importance of things such as, finding a mentor, honesty, courage, what it means to be a man, and the importance of relationships. The book also includes study guides for the chapters to take the message even further, making it an exceptional book for a men’s Bible study, or simply a personal study. Meeder definitely conveys Biblical truth accurately in this book, and I would recommend this book as a “must-read” for all men.

I was provided with a free copy of this book by Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing for review purposes.

Don't Check Your Brains at the Door by Josh McDowell and Bob Hostetler




McDowell and Hostetler offer clear and concise arguments to combat many myths, which have been invented throughout the centuries to weaken the integrity of God’s Word. McDowell, having originally come to faith through an effort to prove the illegitimacy of the Bible, is an especially powerful proponent of the fact that an uninhibited search for truth inevitably leads you to the fact of who Jesus Christ is. The authors explore and refute specific myths, which are purported in much of the public arena of today.

The conversational style of this book draws the reader in. The book is formatted in a very clear manner, with questions at the end of each section to help the reader take the discussion further. Bible references abound in the text giving the reader a way to see what scripture the author is drawing from to make his point. This book is great for all young Christians (not necessarily in age) who may have some misconceptions about the reality of the Bible, God, human nature, and Jesus. This book is especially good for students in high school and college who may find themselves combating myths about God in the classroom every day. If you find yourself unable to answer the accusations of the world, which supposedly “disprove” the Bible, I highly recommend this book so that you will be able to confront myths about the Bible with truth FROM the Bible.
