There are two features I try to incorporate into each review.
Rating – This is more or less on a five point scale, but I feel it is a little more specific. Sometimes I will give it multiple ratings if I think different people/groups would view it differently.
- Must Read – Fairly self-explanatory, I think that it necessary for whomever is interested in the topic.
- Put It On Your List – You should eventually get around to this, most avid readers keep a list or plan of things to read or for reading.
- If You Have Time/If you are looking for something – Low priority on the list, get to it after others if you are looking for something to read.
- Probably Not Worth the Time – Also self-explanatory. Lower level than above, so if you really just need something to read, might as well.
- Pass – Not even worth buying or reading.
Level – I try to give an idea of things like readability or knowledge level. Someone not familiar basic Christianity shouldn’t jump to Reformed Dogmatics or someone looking for beach reading should take American President, no matter how much the like history.
Also, there will typically be a summary, giving you the basic info on the book, and then a review, which is just my reaction/thoughts on the book.
Hope you like them, check back often as I will try to add one a week.

Hello J.K.
I recently read a review that you posted on Amazon for another Christian title, and hoped that you might consider reading my new book “Run From The Shadow, “and posting an honest review on Amazon as well!
I would be pleased to send you either a free print or e-book version if you would consider providing such a review. If so , please reply and let me know.
Thank you for your consideration,
James McJunkin
PROCEEDS from sales of this book will be donated to Casa del Migrante, a refugee assistance center in Tijuana Mexico. …..More than 63 million people around the world today are refugees,
displaced from their homes by the dark shadow of evil. These unfortunate
people, whether victims of war, violence, persecution, or of intolerable
economic plight, all have a story to tell.
This powerful and inspiring story, based on the actual experiences
of a young African family who fled from that “shadow of evil,” is one of
those incredible stories. Their 17,000 mile journey from “Death to Life,”
is an amazing triumph of Christian faith, courage, and perseverance.
As we walk with them through this valley of death, we have the
opportunity to share their fears, understand their motivation, and to
test our own convictions.
As we formulate our views regarding the contemporary immigration
question in our country, we may find it difficult to reconcile our moral
conscience with the practical consequences of these important decisions.
This book does not attempt to provide the answer, but hopefully, will
provide a useful perspective for thoughtful consideration.

Hi J.K,
Sorry to bug you on your personal website. But I just really enjoyed your review of “Do More Better: A Practical Guide to Productivity” on good, old Amazon. I’m the author of a similar book — “Time Management Made Stupidly Easy” — and thought you might like to take a look at a FREE digital copy.
I’ll be happy to send you one as a .pdf, .epub, or .mobi — even hieroglypics, if that works — in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks for your time. (Dig the site!)
Talk soon,
Michael R. Clarke
