Skye Jethani's With: Reimagining The Way You Relate to God was my first book through the BookSneeze review program, and I'm honestly glad I found the program and this book on it. You see, this is one of the more mind blowing books I've ever read - which is saying something, considering I've read books such as Ted Dekker's Circle Series and most books Bill Myers has put out.
If you want to quit reading this review now, I'll leave you with this: READ THIS BOOK. You will NOT regret it.
Some details: Mr. Jethani - an editor of a leading Christian magazine - uses the first half of the book to talk about the four basic ways most of us relate to God:

Editor's Note, November 25, 2024: This post was originally written in 2010. The contest noted has long since ended. :)
One of my favorite authors, Jeremy Robinson, has a contest going right now for a signed hardcover of his new book due out next month, THRESHOLD, or even just a non-signed hardcover. I have a couple of his self-published paperbacks (ANTARKTOS RISING and ...

There are a few authors who I read virtually everything they write. Early on, they included Tom Clancy and Stephen Coonts, and as I matured I moved on to guys like Dale Brown, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, and Lee Child.
A couple of years ago, when I was still active on MySpace, a new, self-published (at the time) author friended me, and I bought a couple of his early books.

The author in question is one you've probably never heard of, but need to if you like solid action-adventure books. You know, the kind that you just do NOT want to put down, where the action is almost non-stop, balls-to-the-wall, what's-gonna-happen-next kinda stuff.
His name is Jeremy Robinson. He claimed that in writing his latest Kindle-only book, THE LAST HUNTER, that it was his best yet, so I wanted to attempt to rank each of his books thus far on my own scale.
First, a brief synopsis:
ANTARKTOS RISING was the first I read from him. This is a disaster story unlike any you've ever seen. It starts out looking like Day After Tomorrow, winds up looking like 2012 - and that is just the beginning. After the crustal displacement (ala 2012), Antarctica is now situated along the equator, and the ice melts off. The earth's remaining population, eager for new land now that much of the former Northern Hemisphere is frozen solid, sees this new land as the perfect place to relocate, and a contest is divised between several nations, with a single goal: whoever gets to the center of the island first gets the prize. What they do...
