[...] I can identify with her struggles both with her everyday faith and with her interaction with the big city. The best thing I can say about the book is not that it is great fiction but that it exceeded my expectations. (I guess Bryan would call that a cannarf.) [...]

Cannarf Reviews: The End is Now by Rob Stennett — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:06:51 +0000

[...] Cannarf Rating: Overall it was an enjoyable read, that grew stronger and stronger as the book progressed. The premise of the book is a bit crazy, but it is treated in a way that really makes you think “if this was the way things went down, I bet this is the way things would go down”. When I finished the last page, I felt satisfied with my time invested and also with the ending, which is all you can ask for with a novel. Happy I read it, and I think you would be too. The Rating: +2 cannarfs. (what’s a cannarf?) [...]

[...] (if you’re new to the blog and don’t know what my Cannarf rating system is, it’s my own rating system that gives something 0 cannarfs if it meets expectations, positive Cannarfs if it exceeds expectations, and negative Cannarfs if it doesn’t meet the hype. You can read more about it here.) [...]

Cannarf Reviews: The Unlikely Disciple by Kevin Roose — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:55:06 +0000

[...] Cannarf Rating: In the end, I enjoyed just about every aspect of this book. Roose is a great writer, and he wrote about his experiences with the tact and thought that it required to pull it off successfully. If I had to nitpick for something I didn’t like, I would say that at times it felt like he was trying too hard to make sure he didn’t offend or alienate anyone who might be reading the book. Was he was trying to make sure that Christians AND non-Christians walked away from the book with warm fuzzies? Maybe. Or maybe he just walked away from the experience with warm fuzzies and that’s why it comes through in the book. In any event, it was a great read and I highly recommend it. The Rating: +4 cannarfs.

[...] Cannarf Rating: I got pretty much what I was expecting on this one. I liked the fact that the plot always seemed 2 steps ahead of me, so that was a good thing. But then I felt like the ending wasn’t quite what I wanted it to be. So in the end, I’m gonna say it all evened out and I got what I expected…which in this case was a good thing. The Rating: 0 cannarfs. (what’s a cannarf?) [...]

Cannarf Review: Angry Conversations with God by Susan E. Isaacs — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:20:04 +0000

[...] Cannarf Rating: Like I mentioned earlier, this book was a TimeMaker. Susan did a fantastic job keeping me interested in her story. Part of it was that she has a fascinating story…the other part is that she’s a great writer. I loved the honesty she wrote with, how she threw some salty language in there when it was warranted, and how she didn’t hold back from sharing things that didn’t necessarily make herself look good. I thought it was encouraging, inspiring, candid, and a joy to read. The Rating: +4 cannarfs. (what’s a cannarf?) [...]

Cannarf Review: Churched by Matthew Paul Turner — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:35:12 +0000

[...] Cannarf Rating: I had high expectations going in, knowing that Matthew is a great writer and humorist. Even still, the book surprised me by being such an easy read. I was going to give it +2 cannarfs, but I’m going to bump it up one more just because it had my Pastor ROFL up and down the aisle of flight 2564. The Rating: +3 cannarfs. (what’s a cannarf?) [...]

By: Cannarf Review: The Blue Parakeet by Scot McKnight

Cannarf Review: The Blue Parakeet by Scot McKnight — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:41:19 +0000

[...] Cannarf Rating: Blue Parakeet was very close to the book I hoped it would be. I found the first half to be a bit slow at times, but it still held my attention. The second half of the book focused specifically on the “blue parakeet” of the place of women in ministry. This almost felt like it could have been a book in itself, but I felt that McKnight laid out a pretty good case for what he believes regarding the topic. (I can tell you if you want to know…or you can pick up the book and read for yourself). The Rating: +2 cannarfs. (what’s a cannarf?) [...]
