the cross and t h e s w i tc h b l a d e dav i d w i l k e rs o n ; J o hn & El i z ab e th S h e rr i ll The ex-libris of renowned Rev. David Wilkerson, The Cross and the Switchblade, headlines the reviews in Biblion’s ninth issue. An enlightening and brutally honest chronicle of life in New York’s most dangerous neighborhoods during the 50’s and 60’s, The Cross and the Switchblade is also the testimony of a young pastor in Pennsylvania who is called to serve these neighborhoods.
Trusting completely in God’s will for his life, Wilkerson begins a long and daring crusade for the lives of New York’s youth and teens in need, fighting to transform these kids’ dependency on drugs into a dependency in Christ. The Cross and the Switchblade is undoubtedly one of the most impressive faith testimonies ever written, with a review in Biblion’s next issue, available July 1st.
honest worship man u e l l u z
The month of August brings us a work of premium quality. Honest Worship is the new book from Manuel Luz, a North-American worship leader that was prompted to share his thoughts in a literary form once he realized how praise is undertaken in churches today. Drawing from his vast experience as worship leader and from his faith as a believer interested in what’s best for the Church, Manuel Luz explains that, in order to practice a genuine worship,
the Christian must embrace the reality of what worship that pleases God truly entails: more than a simple act, worship is an unrelenting attitude of selflessness. Throughout nearly two hundred pages, Honest Worship compares this altruistic attitude with the individualism of our days, encouraging the reader with great persuasion into adopting the true meaning of worship – an honest worship.

On this Children’s Day we announce a review on a recent work by Michael Ross, author of teen devotional Tribe: A Warrior’s Heart (see Biblion #5). With an appealing presentation destined to a younger audience, Building Faith, Block-by-Block is based on the well-known virtual world of Minecraft to make itself a true survival manual, preparing teenagers for real life battles. In addition to the gameplay tips, the book relates its topics with “real” situations, challenging the readers to ponder and discuss these subjects with friends.
Thabiti Anyabwile has a strong conviction that all Muslims deserve that the Gospel be presented to them so that, as was with him, they too may have the opportunity to know God’s love. This book, based on his experience and conversion from Islam to Christianity, teaches Christians on the preparation of that important evangelistic action. Assuming hospitality as a key attribute is crucial for all those who wish to share Jesus’ Gospel with non-believers.
h ow to b e a perfect christian T h e babyl o n B e e From the people that brought you satirical website The Babylon Bee comes the book that erases all doubts about what truly matters to a Christian in his path to perfection. How to Be a Perfect Christian is a humorous work with a much serious purpose: to expose actions and behaviors that are common amongst believers and yet do not belong in the Church of the living
God. Through the American website’s signature style of satire, How to Be a Perfect Christian mocks the clinging to personal merit, declaring that the Messiah’s sacrifice on the cross is what makes the Christian perfect in the eyes of the Lord. This is certainly a keeper, already available at Amazon in hardcover, Kindle and Audiobook versions.
