Making Waves

by Doug Nuenke. NavPress, 2011.

God wants to use all of us as instruments to spread grace in a broken world. Making Waves describes the kind of life God has planned for us, who we are in Christ (Sent Ones), and what is required as we pursue a life that reflects Him. This life is forged in the context of community with others, both followers of Christ and not-yet followers. Written in an easy-to-read style from the author’s own heart and personal experience, the book ends with many practical ways that ordinary people can make “waves of grace” in their everyday lives so others can experience Jesus and his grace.

Holding Fast

by Karen James. Thomas Nelson, 2008.

This is the compelling story of the tragic loss of a husband and his two climbing partners on Mt. Hood. But – it’s much more. It’s an adventure and a love story rolled into one, and the reader sees how Kelly James was a man of purpose who was passionate about climbing and also about making his life count for God. It is a very personal and inspiring story of God’s provision for Karen and her family through the tragedy and beyond.
