When I'm asked to endorse a book, I'm looking for 3 things: 1) How much I know about the author and their character 2) My assessment of the book itself 3) The effort the author is making to be a Generous Mind.
I just endorsed my latest book, Jeff Crosby's The Language of the Soul, and that got me wondering how many books I have endorsed over the years. (FYI you will be hearing more about Jeff's book as it gets closer to being released in May.)
I keep a shelf of all the books that I have been a part of writing, working on, supporting, brainstorming, and publishing. As I looked through the shelf, I found these 5 that I had the privilege to endorse. So below you will find my endorsement for each along with a link to purchase their book. Each is worth your time.
"In a world always striving for more, I tend to see my longings through a consumer lens of discontent. The Language of the Soul gave me a word to describe longings that come from a very different place: the ones not compromised by selfishness or ego. The richness of these ten longings provides me new ways to imagine the part I get to play in the Kingdom."
"We all know that we are called to be on mission with God, but most of the time we can't imagine what that looks like. If you need to be shown rather than told, then this story is for you!"
"What a gripping and well-researched story. This children's outreach in Myanmar is a story of faithful service and courage that will encourage your faith as you serve Christ today."
"The Retirement Reformation takes an expansive look at how Christians should live in retirement. But it doesn't stay at 30,000 feet. Instead Bruce Bruinsma dives into key areas of life that are deeply practical and provides helpful insight to navigate this significant portion of 21st Century life."
"Global Christians face constant pressures as we serve in the Kingdom, but we often fail to understand the sources of these pressures clearly. J.D. Payne's book powerfully illustrates some of today's most urgent pressure points and challenges us to act boldly as we respond biblically."
