Willing To Walk On Water by Caroline Barnett

I love everything about this book including the vibrant and beautiful colors and picture on the cover! I even love the “feel” of this book. For me, receiving and then reading this book was timely. It is an “on time” word for me in this current, anointed of God, season. This is a season for me where I need to be “Willing To Walk On Water” just as the title suggests. I am stepping out in obediance to our Lord in areas of ministry where I have not gone before. I cannot begin to tell you how greatly the author, Caroline Barnett, encouraged me through the words she wrote under the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I really connected with this book. One of the reasons being, I have already heard about the Dream Center in California which the author speaks about quite frequently. I used to know a woman who told me she was a minister there and she spoke quite highly of it. Having this book in my hands is Divine...so it would seem. I will be adding this book along with others towards a collection which will become books for a future church library that I believe is in my future. I recommend this book strongly for those in all walks of Christianity but especially to those who know they have a calling in Christ Jesus and are about to step out on the waters with Him. You will be empowered, brought up and out...catapulted from those recliners of comfort zones and launched out into your destinies...this is what has happened to me anyway!!! I received this book for free from the Tyndale Momentum Publishers in exchange for a free book review through www.tyndaleblognetwork.com book review program.

You Were Born For This by Bruce Wilkinson

For starters, let me say that I was pleasantly surprised at the content of this book as I began to indulge in it. I had somehow thought it was going to be a book about fulfilling one's calling/purpose...and you know...it is that...but not how I had thought. Turned out the Lord was intending on changing my mind sets! (and yours!) The author suggests that what we were born for is to...”Do what God wants done.” Plain and simple. And really...I believe this with my whole heart. (aren't our own plans just junk?) Questions the author asks his reading audience which to me were/are thought provoking are: *Why are these experiences of the miraculous so rare for most people? *What if Heaven actually wanted you to experience them on a regular basis? *What if ordinary people like you and me are invited to partner with God to deliver miracles to others? Interesting! Thoughts to ponder and then act upon! This book is chock full of little nuggets throughout which I adore! Things to ponder and to meditate upon. Here are some examples: “God did not place you on this earth to notice Him at work only once or twice in your whole life.” “ When the Father has a miracle mission in mind, increasingly He will send you, one of His devoted team players.” “ God intends for us to use our money to display His goodness and faithfulness in miraculous ways.” The anointing of the Lord on the writing of this book is quite evident as I experienced the Holy Spirit hovering over me as I read...bringing even more illumination. I am blessed to of gotten my hands on this book. Not a book to be lightly read, but one to study and meditate upon. I highly recommend it to you. I received this book for free from the publisher through the WaterBrook Multnomah book review program. I was not required to write a favorable review. Freely I have been given and so freely I give.
