Book Review: Mornings with Tozer

This book of devotions is an inspirational way to begin your day. Each entry begins with a topic heading to allow the reader to focus on what is to be presented. Next is the verse, the reading and a short prayer.
Each of the entries are excerpts from sermons given by A.W. Tozer. They also allow for a closeness to God that will stay with the reader throughout the day. I love beginning my day with these readings. So often they speak to my heart or they will provide guidance as I face things throughout the day.
I highly recommend this book

Water My Soul Ninety Meditations from an Old Order Mennonite by Darla Weaver

I love this Christian Devotional. I grew up in a town with Old Orders around us and I love the lifestyle and the faith of these people. Each of these entries show Darla Weavers love for the Lord and all of his creations. There are also entries about her life in general including her children, friends and family. Each devotions has a reading, prayer and journal prompts. There are even ways to actively respond do the devotions.

I will keep this devotion and look upon it time and again.

Book Review: Crossing the Waters Following Jesus Through the Storms, The Fish, The Doubts and the Seas

Crossing the Waters, by Leslie Leyland Fields, is a book that speaks to me. Reading the Bible has always been an active pursuit for me. While I read, I envision what it is the author of the book is saying and feeling. This book explores Jesus and his disciples and all the miracles they saw and the parables and messages they shared.

The author, a fisherwoman herself, is able to take her experiences and place them, and us in the Sea of Galilee. She shows us how to find faith through hard times and how to keep our faith during even harder times.

I recommend this book to all, whether new to the faith or someone who has walked with God for many years.

Can this pain be redeemed and more. There are also activities to try to focus the mind and hear such as journaling,  letter writing, and art projects.
