All You Need Is KILL by Hiroshi Sakurazaka (2004)
This unique selection was the first read in our 2020 Siblings’ Book Club, and I’m not yet certain how all the family—especially the ladies—liked it. Aliens, war, relentless killing, cursing and battlefield jokes about sex—this one has it all, apparently. … Continue reading
Ella the Elegant Elephant by Carmela D’Amico and Steven D’Amico (2004)
When I first picked up this book, I could have sworn by its beautiful, classic illustrations that it was a contemporary of Don Freeman’s Corduroy (1968) or any of Sid Hoff’s works. So when I saw that it was published … Continue reading
The Great Influenza by John M. Barry (2004)
Investigators today believe that in the United States the 1918-19 epidemic caused an excess death toll of about 675,000 people. The nation then had a population between 105 and 110 million, compared to 285 million in 2004. So a comparable … Continue reading
Lost City by Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos (2004)

Church Planting Movements by David Garrison (2004)
This gallery contains 2 photos.
How God Is Redeeming a Lost World I felt deeply convicted by this book, specifically how it highlighted my lack of vision in ministry, my apparent lack of passion, and what these two shortcomings suggest about the size of my God! … Continue reading
Long Way Round by Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor (2004)
Chasing Shadows Across the World Few TV documentaries have fascinated me as much as BBC’s Long Way Round, starring actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. In fact, I’ve watched the series through a full seven times and still plan on … Continue reading
The Jericho Sanction by Oliver North and Joe Musser (2004)
“It’s a lot tougher to know what to do when the only choices are bad and worse.” (Peter Newman, 224) It’s been a number of years since I completed Mission Compromised (Book 1 in the series) by this same author-duo, and it took … Continue reading
