Angels Are For Real, by Judith MacNutt

This book is a good, sound and biblical book about angels. The author not only shares scriptural references to teach the different roles of the angels but also shares testimonies from people who have had personal experiences themselves with angels. Angels are not just something the Lord used back in the Old Testament days. He, God, still uses angels today to help His people. I loved this book I think mostly because I can relate to the testimonies others have had concerning their supernatural experiences with angels for I have had some myself. The first time was during a conference where people from all over the world were in attendance. We were all expecting of the Lord and He did not fail us. The praise and worship was so deep that we just kept singing the same thing again and again and none of us wanted to come out! It was during such a time of praise and worship that I saw angels beginning to file up around the musicians. I was not shown their faces or anything in great detail…only their wings. I saw them in iridescent colors of shiny white, pale lavender and pink.

I recommend this book to anyone but especially to those who they themselves have had personal experiences with angels and want to know more about the roles of the angels.

Reading this book has stirred me up spiritually and I am yearning to have more experiences with God Himself and also with His angels.

May the Lord bless you in your Christian walk and may you also be stirred spiritually by having just read this book review! In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Simple Secrets To A Happy Life, by Luci Swindoll

LOVE THIS BOOK!!! This one will NOT be given away and probably not lent out. I may, however, purchase this book to give to the closest women in my life! It is just that good!
This is my first read of any of Luci Swindoll’s material. Luci is an author, popular speaker, photographer, musician, artist, and world traveler. Sounds like she is also a good friend to all she encounters. Chuck Swindoll is her brother and I have loved, and kept, many of his books.
What I love, love, love about this book is:

1)The chapters are short. (Perfect for those who are busy and on the go) One chapter is the perfect size for reading something right before nodding off to sleep.

2)The chapters are chock full of great advice which is laced with sound wisdom.

3)What you read has opportune to be life changing. (That is, if you TAKE her great advice)

4)Luci has a Biblical and Christian perspective.

After reading this book or even just one single chapter you feel as if you’ve just had quality time with a close friend, a mentor, a life coach, big sister or even your mother! (I miss you Mom!)

I will be on the look out for more of Luci Swindoll’s writings. They are sure to become a favorite of your own as well.

Dinner With A Perfect Stranger by David Gregory

First off I LOVE the compact size and the fact that it is a hard back. The colors of the book jacket are also quite appealing and made me immediately want to sit down in a comfy chair with this book. Having said that, the contents of the book matched my initial reaction to it.
The written invitation to a dinner with Jesus of Nazareth made my heart pound to even think of such a thing happening. Thoughts of this actually happening in my own life flooded my mind. Could you imagine actually being physically invited to a dinner with JESUS?!?!?!?! My thoughts immediately went to, “Would I take along some questions to ask Him?” or “Would I just be happy to be there in His presence?”
This book is a quick read and one of those you don’t want to put down until you’ve finished it.

Here is my suggestions to you”
1) Get the book.
2) Read it.
3) Give it or borrow it to someone else.

Very thought provoking.

Our Favorite Sins by Todd D. Hunter

Ever have repeated temptations in your life? Ever make excuses for giving in to them? (ex=It’s my only vice/It’s not like the bigger sins like murder/It’s just this one small thing)
If you have then you’re not alone! But now, here, this question: “Ever try to stop?” or “Want to gain tools to overcome temptation and not give in?” If so then this book is for YOU- whether you are a Christian or non-Christian. It seems all human beings have this problem in one area or another. This author offers solutions.

Worth the read and came to me as a word in due season.
I recommend it.

The Necessity of an Enemy by Ron Carpenter Jr.

This book is right up my alley. Discusses issues such as depression and bad thinking which are enemies from within. The author discusses these issues but oh so much more. If you’ve ever felt attacked by the enemy and have been left feeling confused and defenseless (and who of us Christians out there have not?) then this book is for you. “ To fulfill your purpose and stay true to your calling, you need to understand the reason for your enemies. If you do so, when they rise up against you, you will know how to battle back and see your enemies from God’s point of view.” Need I say more? Recommend this for Christians who want to know how to fight back, learn and grow from the “attacks.”

The Coming Revolution: Signs from America's Past That Signal Our Nation's Future by Richard Lee

I have to be honest. I have never been much of a history buff nor have I ever been one to get into politics. This book may just have changed this in my life!
The title caught my attention as last year during my time with the Lord He told me there was going to be a Revolution. I have thought He meant in my city! Indeed I have seen some changes in my city but now that I have read this book I find it means more then in just my city and has it yet even begun? The book will fire you up to stand up for what is right and even tells you can do in the last chapter. It speaks about Christians coming together and speaking out and changes being made due to this. A must read for every Christian and non-Christian alike.

Wild Goose Chase by Mark Batterson

This is one of those types of books where you don’t have to get too far into it to begin to learn and retain things which help you in your walk with God. It seems there is life which you breathe in and it becomes a part of you sort of thing happening. This book has caused me to re-think my life. Am I living my life to be safe and secure? Or am I taking leaps of faith and living dangerously for the Lord! It has caused me to ponder…is this all my life is about? I have known there is something more coming up ahead for me as in my life’s calling which the Lord has created me for…but have I been on the right path in order to get there? Or have I been planning my life myself with what I consider (compared to God’s) having a pea brain. My thoughts are not HIS thoughts and my ways not HIS ways…this book will have you re-thinking your mind sets and desiring to get set straight and back onto the path the Lord has for you. I plan to also read the author’s other book called, “In a Pit With a Lion On a Snowy Day.”
