Found Missing by Linda Slavin

I must admit that I had an extremely hard time getting through the beginning of this book. So much so that I even considered not reading on any further. However, I felt an urging from the Holy Spirit to continue on with the story and was glad that I did. You see, I had a hard time reading this due to the abuse the author suffered at the hands of her own husband and for a period of many years. Plus the fact that after being baptized in the Holy Spirit I became convicted to change my habits, including what I read…and have grown to be more sensitive… The author did not share all the abuse she suffered. I suspect just enough to give us all an idea of what she had gone through. The author ends up accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. In turn she witnesses to her abusive husband and he, too, accepts Christ. It was a timely conversion for her husband as shortly after this he becomes murdered. I stand once again amazed by God and how He is with His people!!! He not only led this author to His side but her husband also and just before his death! In such a timely manner! But then again…He is an “on time God.”\ As you read this book you will find many other ways the Lord led the author including in finding her new husband and revealing to her who murdered her late husband. This fact was proven and confirmed years later when witnesses fessed up after being riddled with guilt for many years. Worth the read and will bring about an increase in your faith!!! Based on a true story! As always, all glory to our God!!! Here is a link to the author's page. http://www.foundmissingbook.com/author/ I received this book for free in exchange for a book review from BOOKCRASH. (books@bookcrash.com) I was not required to write a positive review. Freely I have been given and freely I give.

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~
