Product Description
This sequel to The Christian Traveler's Companion: The USA and Canada begins as its predecessor, with basic questions and answers. But traveling overseas is more complicated than navigating North America-and it raises a lot more questions.

This guidebookmoves through Western Europe country by country, citing between 3,000 and 3,500 locations. Like the previous book, it cites places of interest to both Protestants and Catholics and includes sidebars on special points of interest. The authors place special emphasis on Christian history. They also include hymn stanzas appropriate to the countries and short biographical sketches of influential people.

This is a book for families to share. Adventuresome families will find plenty of places they can enjoy together, including unique spots in favorite places like Paris, London, the Alps, Rome, Heidelberg, and Amsterdam, and also great out-of-the-way places along Norwegian fjords, besid Germany's Romantic Road, by Ireland's Dingle Bay, in Spain's Costa del Sol, and hundreds more. ...

Interesting and Useful
I highly recommend this book for American Christians who are going to Europe.The authors have done an excellent job of including the obvious sites of Christian significance (Notre Dame, Rome, etc.) and balancing them with relatively obscure sites (Austria's St. Florian Abby, for example).

Other things I like about this book:

* The "Country in a Capsule" section at the beginning of each country section provides an excellent introduction to each country -- very well done.

* The inclusion of even minor "countries" -- Gibraltar, Andorra, Malta (which I now want to visit!), Liechtenstein, Iceland, Monaco and of course the Vatican City (they left out San Marino, though -- its not even in the Italy section) is refreshing, and I found them to be very interesting. * The sprinkling in of some (well-selected) not specifically Christian sites.The authors seem to understand that even "Christian Travelers" will want to see some of the other major sites in Europe, too, and so they provide a valuable service in reporting on these places for us through Christian eyes.

Because "The Christian Traveler's Companion: Western Europe" does not include information on lodging, restaurants and transportation (trains, buses, etc.), they pack a lot into their 360 pages.Because of this, though, you will also need to purchase a more general travel guide book, too, to give you that kind of information.You will find only modest overlap between a general interest guide to Europe and this one.

Overall, well worth having -- I recommend it! ... Read more

25 Surprising Marriages
This book has been a very informative and realistic look into the lives of well known "Godly" men of the past.Their struggles and weaknesses are freely made known and yet in spite of their "human-ness",God used them in mighty ways.An encouragement to all of us as we travel through the years of being married and face our own struggles.

Ah, a realistic look at Christian marriages
It is nice to know that some of the great Christians may or may not have had storybook marriages. This was a great history read as well as a realistic look at marriage...personality differences, religious differences, or perfectly melded relationships. I could see myself and/or my husband in some of these stories and it gave good insight and brighter hope in cherishing differences but celebrating similiarities

A wonderful book for all ministry couples!
This was an excellent book that should be in the hands of all young couples entering into ministry.What can make or break a Christian marriage is certainly exemplified in the lives of these outstanding men ofGod! Consider this as a vital wedding gift to challenge the newlyweds toread from this together and set guidelines in their ministry marriage!

Excellent reading to see the example of a marriage unto God
What a book! I have found each and very chapter interesting, encouraging and something that challenges me!This book goes through the lives of many godly saints through the years, and shows the value of a marriage unto God. It also shows the tragedy that can occur if one does not abide in Christwhile being married, or if one spouse, specifically the wife, refuses tosubmit to the call of God on a preacher's life.These are normal, everydaymen and women who heeded the call and what really happened behind thescenes. DLMoody and his unending energies married to a calm, sweet womanthat behind the scenes held it all together.Charles Spurgeon and hiswife, near genius herself and how she reverenced him, supported him and didhim good all the days of his life.These are just some of the wonderfulstories you will encouraged by.This is a must have for any seriousChristian library and worth every penny spent! ...

An Outstanding List and Perfect Gift for Anyone Who Loves Christian Books
In many ways, it is like Bill Petersen and Randy Petersen have looked over my shoulder at the books I've read and loved. This book will educate you about some of the significant Christian books which changed this century--and you will encounter some new titles and recall some old ones.

If you love books, you will enjoy this title. I recommend it.

Provocative list and valuable thought-stimulater
I love books of lists, especially when the lists are evaluated as these 100 books are.

Everyone will disagree with the Petersens over inclusions and exclusions, but I think that most people would be happy with at least 75% of what they find here.

The authors have included:
reference books such as The New Bible Commentary and the New Bible Dictionary
fiction, such as Sheldon's In His Steps and C.S.Lewis' Screwtape Letters and Chronicles of Narnia
apologetic such as Morrison's Who Moved the Stone? and Lewis' Mere Christianity
Bible translations, or part thereof, such as Ken Taylor's Living Letters
theological works, such as Barth's Church Dogmatics, Berkouwer's Man:The Image of God and Packer's Knowing God
personal testimony, such as Eareckson's Joni and Chuck Colson's Born Again
popular How-to books such as Peales' The Power of Positive Thinking and Warren's The Purpose-Driven Church
books written to provoke evangelicals to action, such as Henry's The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism and Ron Sider's Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger

It is a little strange that Living Letters is the only Bible translation included. I would have thought that several others had had as great an impact as Taylor's paraphrase.

The articles about each book chosen are short and to the point. Sometimes there could have been a little more detail, particularly about lesser-known works.

This book should get people talking about Christian books that have made an impact on them. Warmly recommended.

Adds a few more titles to my "must read" list
Any "booklist" type book is, by nature, highly subjective. And this does not puport to be a "best of" list, but a list of Christian books that have had the greatest impact in their time and even beyond. Indeed, the earliest book on this list, "In His Steps", has enjoyed renewed popularity in the past few years with the "WWJD" phenomenon. As an avid reader of Christian books, and a follower of the Christian publishing industry over the past 25 or so years, I was somewhat surprised to see some recent books included that I have never heard of until I saw them in this book, which makes me question those choices. I mean, if a book such as "Man in the Mirror" made such an impact in the late 1980's I think I would have at least known about it. Of course, there are many books reviewed that I'd never heard of, and that's part of the educational process one goes through in a work such as this, but some are just books for their time rather than timeless classics. For example, "Who Moved the Stone?" might have caused a stir in 1930, but that book was superceded on the evangelical scene years later with the publication of "Evidence That Demands a Verdict", also included. And Bishop Fulton J. Sheen may have been a popular religious figure in the 1950's, but his writings would have only historical interest today. Nevertheless, each reader has his or her own interests, and the summaries of these 20th century works provide a good starting point for delving into Christian literature that has made a difference over the past 100 years. ...

Gilbert "Gil" Grissom, Ph.D. is a fictional character portrayed by William Petersen on the American TV crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Grissom was a forensic entomologist and the night-shift supervisor of the Clark County, Nevada CSI (forensics) team, investigating crimes in and around the city of Las Vegas.

In early season 6 he became romantically involved with subordinate CSI Sara Sidle.
