Christian Book Reviews will soon have its own bookstore in partnership with Amazon.com. This will allow featuring of books of interest to our readers. At the moment, all I have up is the frontpage with some new releases and the All Books page which lists the bestselling books at Amazon with ‘Christianity’ as a keyword. The latter is there for completeness’ sake but there is no telling what sort of nonsense might pop up. In the next few weeks, the store will add pages of interesting books in all the categories our reviews currnetly have under ‘Books by Topic’. In the meantime you can check out this work in progress here. Please check back as the bookstore site is brought more fully online.
If you enjoy our site please consider purchasing one or more books from either our bookstore or the direct links on our review pages. A percentage of the sales will be used to maintain this site.

This is the beginning of a new feature of this site – the book of the month. The first choice – for November 2006 – is the new book titled The Church of the East: An Illustrated History of Assyrian Christianity
The Church of the East itself is not to be confused with either the Eastern or Oriental Orthodox Churches. Essentially construced from those churches outside the Roman Empire after Christianity within the empire became intertwined with the state, the Church of the East (sometimes called the Nestorian Church) went its own separate way with its own hierarchy of bishops, priests, and deacons and proceded to send missions to evangele Asia. They reached as far as China and some contend there is evidence of them in Japan as well. They were at one time as large as any church but were almost destroyed under vicious waves of persecution. Today the remains of this once vast church survives among ethnic Assyrians in Iraq as well as pockets of followers in parts of India, and in the diaspora. The patriarchate itself emigrated to the United States and is headquartered in Chicago. For further information, see our review of this book.

I would like to thank Larry Kryske for submitting his review of Hiding Jesus Through the Ages. Larry is a retired Commander in the U.S. Navy, author, and motivational speaker. His most recent book is The Churchill Factors: Creating Your Finest Hour
The look has changed a little bit here. In order to defray some of the costs of maintaining the site, I have signed up with some partners including Amazon.com, Ignatius Press, and Google Ad Sense. With the exception of the Amazon.com links which have always been given with each review, most of these will appear at the bottom of the page as I do not wish it to be a distraction from this site’s main purpose. If you see something in these links that interests you, by all means check it out. A fraction of the sales from these links will come back here and help maintain this ministry.
Another way our readers can assist is by submitting reviews. Check out all the information on the submissions page for futher details. We welcome contributions from all Christians who accept the Nicene Creed as a statement of faith and accept all others who faithfully adhere to it as brothers in the Christ. This is an ecumenical ministry for faithful Christians who desire to adhere to the faith of the early undivided Church as understood in their particular ecclesial tradition.
Also, please let anyone you think may be interested in the work done here know about this site. With more readers and contributors, we will have a wider range of perspectives upon which we can draw.
