Sometimes There's a Book That Takes The World by Storm: Muscle and a Shovel by Michael Shank

muscle and a shovel, michael shank, christa bryant, church of Christ, church of Christ women authorsAbout Muscle and a Shovel:

"Muscle and a Shovel is a raw and gritty true story about a pair of young newly-weds who move to the city to chase the American dream. In the process they're befriended by a man who turns their belief about God, their church, and their faith upside down! Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Catholics, the Community Churches - none are spared when Truth is at stake and their new friend Randall isn't about to "candy coat" God's Word for the sake of "political correctness" or "religious tolerance." 

This story will grip you from opening to close and will stimulate your spirit on levels you didn't think possible. Get ready to fight or flee because Muscle and a Shovel is one of those rare books that will raise your heart-rate and your blood-pressure. You won't want to wait to share it with your friends or you'll want to dowse it in gasoline and set on fire! There'll be no middle ground. Many Christian reviewers have said, "This book will turn our current religious world upside-down!"(Amazon)

From Church of Christ Women Authors:

You may be asking yourself why a blog that caters to women writers who are members of the church of Christ is posting this book. It's obviously not written by a woman (although-- you might notice Christa Bryant, author of The Treasured Woman: Profiles from Proverbs 31 is the editor, (Check out her Meet the Author's Page).

From time to time there is a book that everyone needs to be aware of.  This is that book. I read it several months ago, after it was recommended by many friends. I will tell you that the first few pages had me in tears for joy. It is a beautiful book and is great for a gift for people who are not Christians. It not only points the way to Christ through a compelling read, it reminds us of our responsibility to teach those around us.

Everyone should own a copy of Muscle and a Shovel !

Women of the Genesis by Cindy Colley

About Women of the Genesis:

"There is nothing new under the sun! Timely lessons about your marriage, your morality, and your mission taken from ancient women in the Old Testament book of Genesis. You will be surprised at how often you see yourself in the lives of women like Sarah, Rachel, and maybe even Potiphar's wife. This book gets practical and to the point for Christian women today." (The Colley House)

From the Church of Christ Women Author's Page: 

I have used this entire series in two different ladies classes. It's a great series and I highly recommend it!
