Go (We Games)By all appearances, it's just two players taking turns laying stones on a 19x19 (or smaller) grid of intersections. But once its basic rules are understood, Go shows its staggering depth. One can see why many people say it's one of the most elegant brain burning abstract games in history, with players trying to claim territory by walling off sections of the board and surrounding each other's stones.

By all appearances, it's just two players taking turns laying stones on a 19x19 (or smaller) grid of intersections. But once its basic rules are understood, Go shows its staggering depth. One can see why many people say it's one of the most elegant brain-burning abstract games in history, with players trying to claim territory by walling off sections of the board and surrounding each other's stones.

The game doesn't end until the board fills up, or, more often, when both players agree to end it, at which time whoever controls the most territory wins.The earliest mention of Go appears in the 'Analects' of Confucius (551-479 BC), while the earliest physical evidence is a 17x17 Go board discovered in 1952 in a tomb of the former Han dynasty (206 BC- 9 AD).

There is a tangle of conflicting popular and scholarly anecdotes attributing its invention to two Chinese emperors, an imperial vassal and court astrologers. One story has it that Go was invented by the legendary Emperor Yao (ruled 2357-2256 BC) as an amusement for his idiot son. A second claims that the Emperor Shun (ruled 2255-2205 BC) created the game in hopes of improving his weak-minded son's mental prowess.

A third says the person named Wu, a vassal of the Emperor Jie (ruled 1818-1766 BC), invented Go (as well as games of cards). Finally, a fourth story suggests that Go was developed by court astrologers during the Zhou dynasty (1045-255 BC).

You can also use a Go set to play Connect6 and Go-Moku and Pente and many more. - BoardGameGeek

The Father's Intense Love and Forgiveness
Format: Paperback
Chiqui Wood shows how our heavenly Father is driven with intense love and forgiveness to see His creation and especially each one of us restored in communion with Him. Therefore, the Father gives us of His best—the pattern Son who reveals the Father’s great heart of love for the world (John 3:16). God is wooing us to love Him with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves (Luke 10:27). Wood explains that to truly be who God created us to be, we need “others who are gifted in areas where we lack” (53). We were created “male and female” so right there you have tremendous diversity; yet, it is in the oneness of this diversity that we will see all creation set free into the glorious liberty of the sons of God (Rom. 8:21). Wood references the works of notable scholars in the field and brings together ministries who are truly gifted to supply answers where we have lacked. I highly recommend this book for home Bible study groups, as it presents the material in portions that young believers can relate to and assimilate. Each chapter includes key points for reflection, a related closing prayer, and questions for group discussion.

Life Changing
Format: Paperback
Doing a triad with this book has honestly changed every area of my life. Truly foundational for a Believer. I see God completely differently and there were so many “God moments” while reading it. He was confirming what was written and uprooting lies. So good and so excited to continue onto The Abba Factor!

Discipleship: Growing deeper in Love with God.
Format: Kindle
This is an insightful look at the real and personal questions that disciples of Christ have in their relationship with Father-God. It is appropriate for adult small group studies or individual growth, but keep a journal of the things that the Holy Spirit impresses upon your heart.

Sometimes Life-Changing
Format: Paperback
I read this book for a class. Though there's nothing heretical within, I didn't agree with all of the author's viewpoints. Some points made were interesting, but the book wasn't of lasting interest to me. I gave it to my dad when I was done, and the book impacted his life, revealing God's love to him in a way he hadn't understood. He loved it so much he bought the sequel.
