5.0 out of 5 stars Faith That Makes a Real Difference in the World, October 25, 2004

By	Mark D. Roberts "markdroberts-dot-com" (Boerne, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tod Bolsinger has written Show Time for Christians who want to make a real difference in the world. He shows that genuine Christian faith isn't something irrelevant or hyper-mystical, but something that is fleshed out in our daily lives.

Show Time isn't about putting on a show of faith. Rather, it's about letting your light shine so that people can see the reality of God through you.

As a pastor, I'm always looking for biblically-solid books to help my people live out their faith in the real world. Here is a great find! Showtime will have a huge impact on your life. I'm going to make sure people in my church read this book. It's perfect for small groups, Bible studies, and Sunday school classes.

Showtime gets down to business. Though Tod Bolsinger is a careful biblical scholar and Ph.D. theologian, he writes for real people who yearn to live out their faith in the real world each day. This book is packed with biblical, practical, inspiring wisdom. Buy this book, and buy a bunch for your friends as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Primer for "Faith with Legs", November 26, 2004

By	Steven R. Norris "srnorris58" (Pasadena, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book starts with the quote, "I wish Christians would just shut up." Whether we want to admit it or not, that is the way that may of those outside the comfortable world of church view Christian folk. From that comment for the "real world" of living out our faith, Bolsinger takes us on a thoughtful verse by verse exposition of 2 Peter 1. This book does a thoughful job of taking us through the reflections of St. Peter in a real world context. Taken from sermons delivered to the faithful at San Clemente Presbyterian church, this book offers a great platform for group bible study and disussion. Bolsinger offers real life examples of how we can make our faith something real and genuine. Buy this book, discuss it with your small group or bible study, and begin the journey of faith that is ready for "Showtime"!

5.0 out of 5 stars SHOWTIME changed my life, July 25, 2005

By	Ricky Ray Taylor (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very few books can hold this acclaim for me. As soon as I finished this book - I "re"-read it with a highlighter in my hand. It was THAT inspirational.
Of course nothing rivals the writings of THE NEW TESTAMENT in regards to introducing a non-believer into a new way of thinking yet, Tod Bolsingers SHOWTIME took me beyond "thinking" as a new Christian - and into LIVING OUT THE FAITH.
I highly recommend this book to ANYONE in the transitions of beginning a new "walk" with the Lord.

PROS: Easy to understand. Somehow motivates the reader to immediately IMPLEMENT a fresh new daily walk.
CONS: The "self-assessment" may be difficult for some.
