Book Review: Bible Promises to Live By For Women

This little book is filled with promises from God for almost any time in your life. I began by looking at each of the entries where I found a short reading with a wealth of Bible verses to reinforce the entry. Some of the topics that inspired me were Belonging, Comparison, Conflict, Family, and Peace.

Each topic is arranged in alphabetical order so they are easy to find. This helps them to aid the reader faster so they can savor each word or the promise.

I plan on keeping this little book by my bed so that I can turn to it whenever I find a need.

Book Review: English Lessons: The Crooked Little Grace-Filled Path of Growing Up

English Lessons is a memoir by Andrea Lucado, the daughter of Max Lucado. It tells of her path to finding answers to some important questions such as Who am I? Who is God?

I felt like this book spoke to my heart. When I first received it, I thought I would try it because I have always liked her father's works. But I also had doubts. This is a very personal story for her as she went off to Oxford and while there she shares the new view she discovered while there.

I felt her laughter and doubts through the book and rejoiced when she made discoveries. 

This is an excellent book for all who are looking for their own answers.

Book Review: cosmic Initiative

Jack R. Taylor is a Christian author and speaker. In this book, Cosmic Initiative, he speaks to the church about God's earthly kingdom, the cosmic initiative and how God's people are not looking for it any more. This occurrence first appears in each person, then it spreads throughout the world. In its path many positives are found, forgiveness, miracles, peace and more.

This is an interesting book that approaches a subject that many would choose to ignore, just as they would the cosmic initiative. I found it inspirational and informative.  The book is broken down into three parts each of with then has several chapters within. The three parts are: Cultivating a Cosmic (Kingdom) View; Restoring the Kingdom; Seeking First the Kingdom.

I would recommend this book to new or old Christians as well as members of staff within a church.

Book Review: Choose and Choose Again

J. Kevin Butcher, the author of Choose and Choose Again, has placed many powerful testimonies in this book. As someone who has known the depths one can let oneself slip into, then pull out of with God's love, he is able to reach some that others would look over. Often times he does it with simple words of love from God.

I often found myself in tears as I read a chapter, partly because the story itself was touching, but also because I wonder if I would have thought to look into these people's hearts and shared words of love with them.

This book is such a blessing. I am going to share it with my other family members and recommend it to all of those that I know. I am ever thankful for the author and Tyndale Publishers for sending this book my way.

Book Review: Secrets to Surrender: Living Wholeheartedly

Debby Akerman has put togethera good work which helps the reader to look at their lives and see how they can "wholeheartedly" follow Christ. She does this by sharing Biblical people who were not perfect, yet discovered they could become stronger individuals by giving all to God.

This study begins with the first book of the Bible and shares scriptures, comments and then applications for the teachings within your own life.

I found this was a wonderful resource for reflecting on my life and seeing different ways that I could improve to become a better Christian.

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.
