Debt-Proof Living by Mary Hunt

I have been a fan of Mary Hunt for a number of years. The first publications I became aware of and then did subscribe to was a monthly newsletter called “Cheapskate Monthly.” This most recent book of Mary Hunts is a wonderful little nugget of a book. Her goal is to teach others how to get out of debt and stay out of debt. She shares wonderful insights as to how to reach such goals. She is also quite transparent and shares how she herself made many mistakes in her personal finances before learning how to end all that foolishness and then to mature and learn how to get things all straightened out. I have read other books by different authors on the subject of getting out of debt and preparing for the future so you see I am really desiring to be set free in this area of finances. If you too are desiring to be set free from mismanaging your own finances and learning how to get things back on track then this book is for you! Mary has outlined a plan of action and steps you can take to get it all started. Since reading the book I have begun doing these steps. I have already obtained some financial freedom before this as have been chiseling away at my own debts. Some of the things she shared I already knew but it gave me confidence to see I was doing the right thing. Other things I had not heard of doing and so am glad for having gotten this book and for having read it. Lastly it is most important to not just read the book but to implement the things you have learned. I hope the best for you in your own personal journey of becoming debt free and in staying that way! I recommend this book. I received this book for free in exchange for a book review through the Revell Publishing book review program. I was not required to write a favorable review.

Sharing Christ With The Dying by Melody Rossi

I am not a stranger of being alongside of someone I love while they lay in their death bed. I can tell you that if I'd of had this book in my hand it during those times that it would have made everything so much easier. Not only is there information about what signs to look for when your loved one is dying but there are also practical things mentioned which will be needed to know during such times as these. This book is going to be kept in my own personal library to be taken back off of the shelves in times of need. I also plan to loan it out to others who may be in this particular season. It would be best read when you are in a season of a loved one getting ready to pass on. I highly recommend it.

Knowing God By Name: Names Of God That Bring Hope And Healing by David Wilkerson

I was taught a whole lot as I read through this book. The learning began right away in the introduction of the book. The author, the late David Wilkerson (1931-2011) advises us as readers concerning the reading of this book and I quote, “As you read this book I urge you to get to know your heavenly Father slowly and purposefully, on a heart-to-heart level. You do not need to memorize all of the hallowed names in their Hebrew forms. For example, do not memorize God's name Jehovah Tsebaioth – simply learn that He is the Lord of Hosts. Get to know the English meanings of His names and remember them.” (end of quote) The author, David Wilkerson, was convinced that we as believers will be able to lead godly lives only by embracing the revelation of God's covenant names. This seems to be the purpose of his writing this book, to teach us all the importance of getting to know God better and to have a closer relationship with Him by getting to know His names and thus His character and nature. I believe that David Wilkerson's purpose in writing this book has clearly been accomplished! Prior to having read this book I have to honestly say that I didn't know or understand the importance of knowing God's names although I have used them during times of praise, worship and prayer. There were other points I could point out just from the introduction! This book is rich and full bodied. . The type of book you can't sit and read for hours on end but instead read it slowly and savor the words written, meditating upon all that has ministered to your spirit man. This book was written as a result of David Wilkerson's time in searching the Scriptures as illuminated by the Holy Spirit. That to me is pretty clear. David Wilkerson discovered that and I quote, “...God revealed His names to His people only as they needed them- in their moments of deepest crisis.” (end of quote) David Wilkerson used scripture throughout his book as a foundation of the truths which were presented. Just a few examples: “Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. “ (Psalm 124:8) “Because he has known my name...I will deliver him.” (Psalm 91:15) “I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the Lord...I was brought low, and He helped me.” (Psalm 116:3-4,6) “Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.” (Isaiah 50:10) David Wilkerson does not go over every single name of God in this book which I was at first disappointed about. After reading the book I came to know that he did not need to go over every single name as he was teaching us the basics in a deep way. Having read this book I am left touched in the deepest part of me. This book was not just meat, bread and potatoes for the spirit...it was also gravy. Rich and full. I totally recommend this book to you. This book is a re-write of the previously written book by David Wilkerson titled, “Hallowed Be Thy Names”. I have no problem reading previously written books as I feel it is the publisher's way of saying, “This one is so good and may have been overlooked. Let's present it again.” It is true in this case. This book is very good and you won't want to overlook it. Lord bless all of you readers! In Jesus name, amen.

Holy Fire by R.T. Kendall

I received this book for free in exchange for a free book review from Charisma House publishing through the www.thebookteria.com book review program. I was not required to write a favorable review.

This book by R.T. Kendall is written on the topic of the HOLY SPIRIT. God's Spirit. The author speaks about the different belief systems and their view of the Holy Spirit's work in our current lives as well as how he, the author, used to believe up until he had his own experiences with the Holy Spirit which caused his thinking to then change. This is a “Balanced and Biblical look at the Holy Spirit's work in our lives.” I liked it because it is also the same way I believe in that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and that the gifts of the Holy Spirit did not end as the cessationists believe they did. The author make things clear as to the works of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He uses sound biblical teachings which expounds on the understanding of the Word of God. He also shares about other books He has written of which there has been quite a few. He talks about the Spirit and the Word together and how the Holy Spirit leads us in two ways, directly and indirectly. He shares on the different types of fire. Many quotes are used which I tend to love. I am glad I got this book and glad I read it as it has further grounded me biblically in my own beliefs as to the Holy Spirit and the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit. I recommend this book to you.

The Bait Of Satan by John Bevere

Having read some of the other reviews here on Amazon concerning “The Bait Of Satan” by John Bevere I have concluded that...I, myself personally, got a whole lot out of it! Having had but “just a taste” of doing the ministry of Jesus Christ for others, one on one...I am all too well familiar with people having unforgiveness and offenses towards others. I have learned that this keeps people in bondage and in order for them to be delivered...they need to go back to these offenses and forgive the person. For John Bevere to write an entire book on this subject...I say kudos! He has hit the nail on the head when he expresses that offenses is a weapon in the hand of the enemy. (satan) There can be many ways we become offended and many reasons! This book goes into great detail about offenses and how we can be free from them. An in-season word....always! I have seen both John and Lisa Bevere on tv and can tell you they are anointed to do the work of our Lord. I recommend this book!

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!!!
