1000 Days The Ministry Of Christ by Jonathan Falwell

This is a book review written on the book “1000 Days” by Jonathan Falwell. The author has the idea that all people are constantly on the search for inner peace. That all have restless hearts. He then goes on to share all the ways that people will try to fill their lives up with things and end up still not at that place of peace. One great example he gives is of the couple who climb one mountain after another. They toil and work so hard to do all they can to reach the top of that one mountain only to find that once they reach the top that they do not have a feeling of satisfaction and must then go and find yet another mountain to climb. The author feels that they weren’t simply climbing mountains but that they were searching for inner peace. It is hard not to take a look at how this has manifested in my own personal life. How many of the things I am doing are actually me searching for that place of inner peace? If you are a Christian and are like me…if things seem to be in turmoil in your life you find you just cannot go even one more minute without having the peace of God back in your life. At times I, myself have to back track and look for the place where I seemed to of lost that peace of God and what now can I do to remedy this? There is no better place to be then in the will of God resting in His peace… The author goes on to share different aspects of the ministry of Jesus…hence the name of this book, “1000 Days” which speaks of the days that Jesus actually was out doing ministry while yet on this earth. Why did the author go from talking about our lack of inner peace and onto the days of Jesus ministering on the earth? Because the author feels and I quote: “ But He did all these things to show us a way of life that is absolutely vital if we want to find rest for our inner longings. It’s not about salvation; it’s about truly becoming the God followers He intends us to be. It’s about finding His purpose for us and thus satisfaction for our inner restlessness. He knows that comes about as we become more like Him. So He’s showing us Himself in a journey of 1,000 days. As we plunge into those 1,000 days, listen to Him saying simply, ‘Watch Me.’” I don’t know about you but I find the more I study about the days that Jesus ministered here while yet on the earth and about the lives of the disciples back in those days the more I hear Holy Spirit speaking to me through those examples. I can be right, smack dab in the middle of ministering to someone and one such example will come to mind. I will then know exactly what it is the Lord is speaking to me for the current situation. I love how God works. I love that I am called to do His work. I love how the Holy Spirit illuminates His Word. I love how Holy Spirit gives revelation to those to write books and shed light on things for all the rest of us to chew on and glean from. This book is written in a fashion that is easy to digest. The author uses many stories or testimonies to help shed some light on the point the is trying to get across. This has helped me to “get it.” I recommend this book to you.

Reversing Diabetes by Ron Colbert, MD

This is a book review from the book titled, “Reversing Diabetes” and written by Don Colbert, MD. First let me say that I do not have diabetes. I did have gestational diabetes and my husband also currently has type 2 diabetes which is where I got the interest to read this particular book. This is not a book you can just pick up and read in a matter of days. It is a meaty book packed full of information for good health, not just for those with diabetes. It is a book you will want to take the time out to study, meditate upon, and digest fully. In my opinion, the changes to be made spoken of here are not of the type that can be made overnight…having said that…they are changes you will want to incorporate one at a time. I am not the author…but it is my hope that you will make changes and not just read about doing them. (this is my hope for my own self as well) I have read other material on managing diabetes using alternative or healthier means…and this book is in alignment with other things I have read, and agree with, on the subject. I highly recommend this book to not just diabetics and those who love diabetics but for all who are in search of good health and a long life free of disease. After reading this book I am compelled to check into this particular author’s other books. May the good Lord bless you with good health and a long life!!! IN Jesus name I pray, amen.

Better To Be Broken by Rick Huntress

This is a small, compact sort of book that is easy to read and hard to put down. One of my favorite types. A definite for the bedside to read before retiring. This autobiography, “Better To Be Broken” written by Rick Huntress was written so well. The author shares his testimonies throughout the book of his experiences following an accident which left him wheel chair bound. I believe he has made deep hearted times light and that this man has a ministry working with others who are also wheel chair bound. Indeed, this man's writing is quite inspirational, encouraging, is sound biblically, and causes one to want to reach out for one's own calling in Christ Jesus! Good for those who have had similar experiences and needing the encouragement but also good for those who, like myself, are needing encouragement through our own life’s challenges. I highly recommend this book to all! I received this book for free from the BookCrash book review program in exchange for a book review. I was not required to write a favorable review.
