Book Review: The Way of the Warrior

I was given this book by Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for my honest review.
This book spoke to my soul more than I was expecting. I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the word Warrior in the title but I was not disappointed in receiving this book to review. I often look at my calling and wonder if I am doing what God calls me to do with it. I also want to grow towards God as I minister to it. This book showed me how important the person inside of me is, how powerful it is.
In order to understand peace we must recognize the warrior within. We need to train and then fight for those around us. We may face pain, but this pain does make us stronger so we can be more powerful for God.
I believe one of the reasons that this book reached me what that the author wrote with such authority and knowledge. He wrote that words that help me see how to train, how to become a warrior for God.
I recommend this book with my strongest voice.

Book Review: Finding Myself in Britain

Amy Boucher Pye found herself having to adjust to a new country, Great Britain. Through this adjustment she discovered her faith in the Lord would help her adjust to many things, such as the language, and the way of life.

She shared her humor and her faith throughout this book, but not in a way that felt like preaching. It was more like a storyteller who knows how to reach her audience.

I loved this book. Amy Boucher Pye has such a talent.

Book Review: One: Impossible Starts Here

The authors of One: Impossible Starts Here, Gwen Oatsvall and Suzanne Mayernick were adopting children when they met each other. Between them they are proof that God's love can give them inspiration and faith they needed, plus the never ending love to  bring them to a total of 13 children and seven adoptions. These two came together through God's love and his desire to have them serve as missionaries in this way.

They also created an organization called 147 Million Orphans to help children who need help because of vulnerability.

This is such an inspiring book which makes you believe that God will always help you meet the challenges that He places in front of him.

I loved this book and am so glad that I was given this book by NetGalley and B & H Publishing in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: The Plum Tree in the Desert

The Plum Tree in the Desert, by Naomi Reed, was a work of love. The author collected 10 stories from missionaries who worked, or are still working, in the field through Interserve. These people share the victories and the hardship they would face as they did God's work. At times the victories would not be seen for quite a while, or would come around in a different way than expected. Through each story, the reader sees how God is good and if we have faith we will see this goodness even in the hard times.

I loved this book and am so glad that the cover and the back story grabbed my attention. I know this is a book that I will turn to again, and again in my journey with God.

I was given this book by NetGalley and Authentic Media in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to them and to all the missionaries that are following God's lead.

Book Review: The Sweet Side of Suffering

There are times when the suffering in life seems overwhelming. At least it has for me. Between the loss of loved ones and constant pain, there are times when I wonder what can be done. It is so easy to ask for God's love and help, yet it seems to be the one thing that gets put on the back burner. This book allows the reader to look at their own suffering differently.

The author uses her own suffering to show how turning to God during those times helped to make her faith stronger. She also uses scriptures and shows how to apply them to your own life.

Book Review: Journeys with Celtic Christians Participant

When I first discovered the Celtic faith, I was a little wary. That is until I discovered about their journey in conversion to Christianity.

This book, Journeys with Celtic Christians, talks about the similarities between the original Celtic faith and how it changed through the introduction of Christianity. They discuss the spread of faith throughout the areas of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and parts of England up to the 11th century.

The author was able to compare the Celtic Christians with the faith that many of us know and the similarities are amazing.

My daughter and I traveled the UK ten years ago so she could do research on the Celts. Being a history buff myself, I was amazed at how little I knew about this group of people. After she whetted my curiosity I have done extensive research of my own on this people and their faith. The author's viewpoint is right on and I truly enjoyed reading this book and will be referring to it for years to come.

Book Review: Healed Healthy and Whole

Faith can move mountains. This is a lesson that was re-enforced through this book. I had to deal with something similar to this with my sister a long time ago. She also was a woman of faith. I am so glad that your journey came to such a wonderful outcome.

I would recommend this book for anyone that is facing cancer and are not sure where to turn. Thank you Marion for sharing this story.
