Review: Unique Insight

Unique Insight book cover on blue background

This is a book that released a little earlier this fall, and it's one that I can see having great practical benefit for all believers. Unique Insight is written by Stella Pak, MD, who has personal and professional experience of the autism spectrum.

Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Book Thoughts

I appreciated the opportunity to read a book that delves into the Bible with a focus on helping readers with autism better understand biblical meanings, stories, and applications. Unique Insights provides such valuable tools to help all readers get more out of their Bible reading by turning abstract concepts into concrete, actionable steps that can be taken as we grow in our Christian discipleship. This is one of the most tangible Christian books I've read where definitions are clearly spelt out and illustrations are given in order to show what God has been teaching His people through His Word. In addition to its pragmatic nature, this book is chock full of historical and cultural details that flesh out each story even further.

Dr. Pak has written this book in such an approachable and consistent manner that it can also be read as a devotional book where readers can ruminate on each chapter. I love the structure, formatting, and most importantly, the teachings. There are numerous citations accompanying unique biblical insights that are provided to guide readers into a more fulsome picture of the highlighted biblical passages. If readers are looking for a book to share with those who prefer to process information in a more practical manner over strictly theoretical, this is a book that bridges that gap and makes reading the Bible a living and active experience.

Review: Another Gospel?

Having listened to Alisa Childers ' podcast over the years, I really enjoyed "chewing" my way through her debut book, Another Gospel? A Lifelong Christian Seeks Truth in Response to Progressive Christianity . It's taken me so long that she's now onto her third book! 😂 Book Synopsis A Movement Seeks to Redefine Christianity. Some Think that It Is a Much-Needed Progressive Reformation. Others Believe that It Is an Attack on Historic Christianity. Alisa Childers never thought she would question her Christian faith. She was raised in a Christian home, where she had seen her mom and dad feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and love the outcast. She had witnessed God at work and then had dedicated her own life to leading worship, as part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl. All that was deeply challenged when she met a progressive pastor, who called himself a hopeful agnostic. Another Gospel? describes the intellectual journey Alisa took over several years as she wr...

Review: For Us

If you've been following April Barcalow for some time, you'll be just as excited to know that she has recently released a marriage devotional. Newsletter subscribers can receive a free copy, and you can learn more about the background of For Us: Seeking God's Heart for Marriage on her website. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis All throughout Scripture, when God wants us to understand the close, intimate relationship He longs to have with us, He uses the imagery of marriage. That’s no coincidence. Marriage is an echo of the lasting love we share with Him, a framework to help us understand, and a gift. But good marriage, the kind that reflects Him, doesn’t happen without intention. Without building each piece on the solid foundation of Christ. Without choosing one another, even when it’s hard. This 30-day devotional weaves together Scripture, personal experience, and story threads to seek God’s ...
