Bible Revival: Recommitting Ourselves To One Book by Kenneth Berding

The goal of this book I believe is to get people back to/begin to not just reading the Bible but also to applying it to our lives. There are many things which keeps us from doing this very thing and the author addresses those as well as giving ideas on how to overcome these obstacles and make time for being in the Word. At the end of each chapter are questions for review which are very thought provoking as well as convicting. Towards the end of this book is an appendix titled, “The Easiest Way to Memorize the Bible” What I learned from Dr. John Mitchell. This appendix has some good points in memorization of Scripture which I appreciated reading. This is the kind of literature I need to be reading to encourage me to be in and stay in the Word of God. I received this book for free in exchange for a free book review from the publisher. I was not required to write a favorable review.

The Lifestyle Of A Prophet by James W Goll

This is the second book I have read written by James W. Goll. The first one I read was “The Seer.” I loved “The Seer” and I love “The Lifestyle Of A Prophet” as well! “The Seer” helped me understand the giftings the Lord had given me and “The Lifestyle Of a Prophet” is helping me to understand how to embrace my calling and to mature in these gifts. I live in a rural area where I do not have communication with others who have these sort of gifts. It helps to read what someone like James W Goll has written as he is a spiritual father in this area. Here is an example of one of the profound things I have taken note of in this book: “The gift of prophecy is like Jesus standing up inside a person, waving His hand and saying, “I have something encouraging I want to bring to you, My people. I have a word of comfort. I have a word of edification. I have a word of learning.” James W Goll's books are biblically based and sound teachings and chock full of his own testimonies he shares. I LOVE reading other's testimonies! He understands me it seems. His writings and others like his help me and make me feel not so much alone in this prophetic calling. God bless you James W Goll! I loved this book of yours and thank you for obeying the Lord in the writing/publishing of it! \o/ I highly recommend this book!!!
