Living In A Crazy World
Format: Paperback
It does seem our world has gone crazy, especially for those of us who grew up in the 1970s and 80s. Of course, this is all expected but Bible prophecy. This book deals with how we as Christians should be during this times and watch for deception in the church. Seeking discernment and restoring folks to the truth. Renner does a good job of breaking down bible verses in the context of the Greek meaning of words. This study as it seems is a good accompaniment to bible study. The only downside would be the repetitiveness, especially at the beginning, but can see how saying the same or similar thing over and over is to drive home a point.

Another Classic
Format: Kindle
I love Rick Renner’s book, and this one doesn’t disappoint. We definitely need a revival of the Bible in our country, or homes and families, and the church. But we are reminded in this book that we are not just called to shake our heads in wonder, but are called to play a part in reversing the works of the enemy.
