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. I was not required to write a favorable review.

Jesus Driven Ministry by Ajith Fernando

This is an EXCELLENT book to read for those of you who, like me, are desiring to enter into the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have been taking some online bible classed through Pillar Of Truth Bible Institute and this was one I was required to read for one of the classes. IT IS VERY GOOD!!! One thing I love about the Lord…when you are studying something in the right season…He teaches you in between the lines…He is doing this with me with this particular book. One of the things taught…is not to set “holiness” aside as some are in the habit of doing. It is taught here that some in biblical times lost their power due to operating in the gifts without also being characterized with the Lord’s holiness. This spoke to me BIG TIME as recently the Lord spoke to me through 3 little foxes. I knew what this meant…the little foxes being so called “little sins” which grow up to be quite destructive!!! In my case…He was calling to mind…little foxes in my own life…one was…coming home to find I was not charged for something and taking a lonnnnnggggg time to go back and pay for it. I did go back and got ‘er paid for…as know it is just too big a cost to let it go. Just one example of the many nuggets in store for you in this book. For me this book has been one of those “just can’t seem to put it down” type of books and I look forward to time with the Lord as I read the lines and listen in between the lines. May you be blessed and enriched and more prepared for the ministry the Lord has for you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord!!!! ~amen~
