Secrets of the Happy Soul

 

This is an interesting book which shows us how God wants us to be happy. Plus it shares how he would like us to accomplish this. Our happiness is important to God. He did not create us for unhappiness.

This book is broken into sections. The first section talks about the happy soul. 

The second section talks about the secrets. These include: Focus on God; Resolved to follow God's Way; Attached to God's Word; Dependent on God's Provision; Confident in Who They Are; Surrendered to the King.

It is not always easy to remember about how our souls can be happy, especially in difficult times, however, this book is a good guideline.

I recommend this book highly, especially if you are looking for encouragement.
I received this book from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Justice, Mercy, Humility

Justice, Mercy, Humility is based on Micah 6:8: 8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.(NIV). Using this verse George was able to build s book on spiritual growth. In the book he helps the reader to see that following God is not overwhelming, it is simple. God wants a relationship with us.
Through stories from his own life, Rusty George is able to express this simplicity of following our heavenly Father.
I enjoy books that help me see how to have a relationship with my Lord, and which reminds me what God truly wants with us....a relationship.
I think this book should be found on each believer's bookshelf or ebook.
I was given this book by the publisher, Bethany House, through NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review. 

Book Review: 101 Things you Should Do Before Going to Heaven

I think the books that give lists of what to do before.... are wonderful. In this book, there are many ways to enrich your spiritual life through simple things. There are some that take a little more thinking, or meditating but it is so worth it if it will help us to have an eternal home with the Savior.

Some of the ideas are as simple as Do Something that Scares You, Watch a Meteor Shower, Greet the Dawn or Spend a Day Alone with God.

I believe that this is a book that everyone should purchase for themselves and for their loved ones.

I was given this book by NetGalley and FaithWords/Center Street in exchange they receive my honest review.

Book Review: Esther: Finding Yourself in times of Trouble

This is a Drawn in Bible Study. Esther: finding Yourself in Times of Trouble is easy to use as a Bible Study. It is broken into four sections. Within each section there are questions, devotions and coloring to help show how this story can help with life.

It helps to awaken the creative side of a person while sharing the Bible's truth. I feel like this study can help people become more drawn into God.

Silent Takeover, by Jacquelyn Sheppard, was a very interesting read. Through my life I have been around smokers, and I always wondered if this is set in our minds to follow them or not. This book helps to answer these questions.

It also talks about emotional and mental health issues, which many face. I feel it is a useful book for most of us, even if we aren't affected directly, we may know someone dealing with these issues. It also tells ways that we can help deal with these issues, such as changing diets. Prayer us also a useful tool to help deal with these items.

Such a useful book.
