In the Shadow of His Wings

 

I am always looking for a devotional book that includes insights in nature. This book meets my expectations and then some. Roslynn Long combined photographs of a variety of birds and then placed her beautiful and uplifting words to make a complete devotion. Each picture was taken with such care to show each bird in their beauty. All in all this is a book that can help each of us to look at the creations of God in a glorious new way.

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.

One Small Step: The Life-Changing Adventure of Following God's Nudges

 

We have all felt nudges in our lives, in fact, we have even felt them from God. In "One Small Step: The Life-changing Adventure of Following God's Nudges", Matthew Barnett talks about these nudges from God. They are the ones that tell us to help someone out, even if you don't know them. Matthew Barnett followed one of these nudges when he opened the Dream Center in Los Angeles. In this center all are welcome who might need a place to stay. It doesn't matter what their background, they are welcome...free of charge. The nudges that we feel may not be as big as this but who knows where it will lead...God does.

I recommend this book so highly. I am a believer in God's nudges and when he does he gives you all that you need to fulfill it.

Rediscover Jesus: An Invitation by Matthew Kelly

 

I received this book from Blue Sparrow Publishing in exchange for an honest review. All opinions stated are my own.

Before I begin I would like to let you know that unlike other positive reviews I have not read a book written by Matthew Kelly before. This book is written for everyone, no matter where you are on your spiritual walk.

Set as a series of devotions, none of the entries are very long and at the end are ideas to bring the entry to the heart. There is the Point to Ponder, a Verse to Live, a Question to Consider and a short prayer.

When you come across this book I recommend that it be picked up and applied to your life.
