TC Book Reviews - November 2008

EGGS, FISH AND BANANA LEAVES by Ruth Shakeshaft

Ruth’s story is both fascinating and inspirational. This Christ-centred missionary nurse who has a real love ad concern for others, ventures where no white person has been to identify and bring healing to many suffering people, especially those with leprosy, in Uganda.
A book which is challenging, often heartbreaking, but ultimately uplifting.

MY LIFE, MY WAY by Cliff Richard

Indeed, yet another book about Cliff! But this is different, as Cliff himself points out “This is my book, by me - not to be confused with any number of books about me.........  If you want to know what I really feel about things, this is the book to read.”
Includes many photographs.
A committed Christian, knighted by the Queen for his charity work, it is not the usual rock star’s tale of drugs, sex and degradation. It’s a fascinating story of a man who has broken all the rules, and a unique insight into one of the most iconic figures of our time. (from the fly leaf).

CREATION OR EVOLUTION - Do we have to choose? by Denis Alexander

Reasonable, calm, and supremely well informed, this is a book written by someone who is passionate about both science and the Bible.
‘Denis Alexander is a scientist-believer who argues convincingly and lovingly that a committed Christian need not fear evolution, but can embrace it as God’s awesome means of creation’.

THE SHACK a novel by William P Young.

This book has shot into the best seller list on both sides of the Atlantic.
It has been suggested that if you read only one book this year, it should be this one!
Others have suggested that it has the potential to do for our generation what Pilgrim’s Progress did for an earlier one.
I think it may be the most talked about book since Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life.
Those who have read it have all been moved, both to laugh, cry and repent of their lack of faith.
I am also told that it is controversial and some Christians are disturbed by its content.
Synopsis: Mackenzie Philip’s youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may be have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend..... What he finds there will change Mack’s world forever.
