Each chapter has been an eye opener for things that I have been searching to understand in my walk with God. As I read each chapter I could hear the Holy Spirit confirming and showing me things that I have experienced as a believer. I highly recommend this book to the person who is trying to learn the voice of God, to the seasoned believer who just wants to be reminded that they are in the will of God concerning decisions and choices they make about their life. Of all the books I have come across this is a great book to read. This book was provided free of charge through Chosen Books.

This book has to be one of the best touching books I have read in a long time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It screamed to me and made my emotions cringe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt sadness, I felt love and I felt hate!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also felt the urge and need for forgiveness. “A pit formed in her stomach and in that instant, she knew.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who could ever imagine such horrific tragedy taking place in their life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I too have been in love and married my high school sweet heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No one can say what they would do in a life changing event such as this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is one thing to lose a love one but another thing to let hatred control your life to the point of utter exhaustion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also hard to understand why our Lord and Savior would allow such tragedies to take place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
This is a story of a woman who has been broken down to the core of her very existence and in this process she has lost her world and everything in the world that she believe to be true wherein her faith rested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has now been tested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have never known anyone to hate the very essence of their existence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Karen Kingsbury has shown that through forgiveness, therein lies the ultimate peace that our heavenly father promises us. In our heavenly father lies everything in this life that we need, in every situation he is always there for us, even when we can’t see clearly and we hate every thing around us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although it has been Matt’s job to help Hannah he has shown every emotion and feeling of a true friend in being there for Hannah and then Jenny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through this story several individuals were lead to know Christ and have a closer walk with him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no greater joy than a life that is centered on Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>May the grace of God continue to keep each of us day by day that we may walk in love as he is love?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

electrifying!!!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11479417448226621157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013148649424942788.post-7710552764653168382012-07-16T17:35:00.003-05:002018-06-20T11:24:14.660-05:00Living Close to God By Gene EdwardsLiving Close to God <br />
When You’re Not Good At It by Gene Edwards<br />
<br />
Living Close to God is one man’s account of finding the Lord for himself. This is a great book that will help the new born again believer learn to walk and seek the Lord. Several times the author relayed the message that he was not spiritual by any means and in fact was spiritually dull. This book, Living Close to God, guides you along a path of several ways to seek the Lord through out your day. It is clear from reading this book that Christian believers make it seem impossible to find God and understand his word. God is not complex and if we would take the time and be still before him we too can hear him.<br />
<br />
In reading this book I tried to do the Psalm 23 and still my mind. It didn’t work for me but what I heard the Lord say was on page 36. “In Quietness and Waiting.” As I read this in my office at work, I heard in my spirit, “that’s it.” I said huh? What? I re-read what I had just read to see what had just happened and what he had said to me and it was “In Quietness and Waiting” that is where he is and that is where I will find him. Gene Edwards gave several examples to seeking the Lord and putting up reminders so the believer can see and remember to take a few seconds to pray. Believers often leave the Lord at home and never remember to take him with them through out their day or they forget him at home and when they get to work the remember him but then leave him at work. God should be apart of our entire day and Gene Edwards has showed us a few examples of how we can do just that!<br />
<br />
<br />
At the end of the book is a seven week study guide. This study guide can be used within a book club or as a way of helping the believer or the new Christian find a consistent walk with Christ!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11479417448226621157noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013148649424942788.post-4130983785922698492012-06-22T19:00:00.003-05:002012-06-22T19:00:56.757-05:00Every Woman's Battle by Shannon EthridgeProverbial Woman<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If a book does not catch me with the synopsis on the back,
it must intrigue me in some way upon reading the first paragraph of the book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s one thing to tell me how to be a woman
of God, but to go in dept and give me examples of the things that we do as
women that causes us to think if its right or wrong is good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book has caused me to look at things I
have done in my own marriage, past and present, and see that I was behaving in
ways that was not pleasing to God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
have had so many revelations upon reading this book that I thank God for
stumbling upon it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think twice when it
comes to my reactions towards my husband. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to be the woman that God has called me
to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For a better description I want
to be that proverbial woman in the book of Proverbs.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">God created marriage as a beautiful thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are to be help meets to one another and
love each other unconditionally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have
seen that I have always been a selfish person through the examples and
referenced scriptures in this book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
believe I am now on my way to being a proverbial woman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book has truly blessed my marriage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The workbook section at the end of the book
is an added bonus!!!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This book would be an awesome gift for any woman getting
married.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that young girls need to
be exposed to this book as well as a type of family education program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are supposed to train our young people to
be men and women of God, why not start early?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The world does not care how old they are nor should we mind this aspect
when it comes to teaching spiritual things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I recommend this book to any woman who wants to draw near to the
Lord.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I highly recommend this book for
any marriage counseling programs and any woman that is engaged!</span></div>

The first day I picked this book up, "You were born for this" I was able to be a God sent blessing to someone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I opened the book on a Saturday and read the first four pages about the incident at the restaurant and I closed the book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Almost immediately in my spirit I heard GO! I opened my mouth and ask my husband if he wanted to go to SC. I was didnt know what was ahead but I thank God because I was able to be a blessing for someone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Just as this book stated, I was able to be an angel for someone that day. </span>They had no idea that I/we were coming but prior to our visit the woman had prayed to God for her need and he answered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was down and out myself; in utter turmoil of the mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I said, "Lord, how can you use me to cry out for someone or to help them when my own present situation is before me."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Believe me when I say my situation was pulling me. </span>Needless to say, when we are weak he is strong and when we are at our weakest he is shinning strong.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br />
This book has blessed me tremendously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have a new perspective on being a saved Christian in today's world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am up praying and seeking the face of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I need more of Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to be used by the Lord to perform miracles among his people by the power of his holy spirit working in me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book was an eye opener and in general is a good book to read if you want to know some present day workings of the supernatural power of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every page is full of another blessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are videos to go with each chapter in the back of the book. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I would recommend this book whole heartily to anyone seeking a good Christian book to read.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As his word say the<em> joy of the Lord is my strength</em>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book has enlightened me to supernatural workings of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book started my journey and a family road trip that took 4 hours and a miracle in the making.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
