THE MOST CONVICTING BOOK, BESIDES THE BIBLE, THAT I HAVE EVER READ

I have read a lot of books since I started reading as a youngster. When I was saved I started reading books that were Christian or pertained to my walk with Christ.

I say all of this to say that I have not read a book in my Christian life that is so dead-on convicting as this book. Don't let the title fool you. This book is for boys and men of all ages. It has been the kind of book that I try to pick up every year and read.

Here is a brief description from the publisher...

Though aimed at young men, all Christians will greatly benefit from Ryle' s practical wisdom concerning the dangers of pride, the love of pleasure, and thoughtlessness, discussed in a warm, but frank manner.

SwordSearcher Bible Software

I am what you would call a Bible Software junkie. I have used, bought, deleted, re-installed, upgraded, updated, reviewed, and previewed Bible software for a long time. I cannot begin to count how many programs that I have used over the years.

Recently, Brandon at SwordSearcher was kind enough to send me a copy of SwordSearcher 5 for me to review. To start off many don't like a lot of the programs out there because many are nothing more than public domain (free software already available). So to be fair, I have to say that SwordSearcher does have some public domain software as part of it.

I must say that $49.95 will get you get you a nice program WITH a money back guarantee. Though, I have seen most, if not all, the software that this program has; the way that it is put together with its interface is great. It is geared for a beginner and even some intermediate users. All references are linked next to the verses and with the program being indexed, it works very fast. I also enjoyed mousing over a text and seeing the verse/reference pop up. It also has a built in word processor so that you can make your own notes as you study. The learning curve is small as most will be able to jump right in without being overwhelmed. Another neat feature that SwordSearcher has is the ability to fully install the program to your hard drive and removing your CD for safe-keeping.

I encourage you to go to this site and look at all the resources that $49.95 will get you. If not, at least download the demo and check it out.
