Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic

This book was not what I thought it was going to be. Well part of it was in that...it is written by a man with disabilities who shares his testimonies...that part I was right on about. The rest? Oh my goodness! There is FAR MORE in this book then what I hoped and dreamed. You see I started to read this book and was into the 3rd chapter when I KNEW I had to go back and start doing some underlining and highlighting so as not to lose the tidbits of wisdom which are literally EVERYWHERE on the pages of this book. I can tell you that the author, Nick Vujicic, was anointed to write this book and I believe many more to come. It was as if it was written just for me! I am not sure how the author does it, but he makes it seem as if he knows you, knows your struggles and challenges and then he hands out this seasoned advice. Yet, he's not that old! I kept asking myself, “How can this be? How can he know this much already?” Because the Lord has given it to him is why! There are pictures in the middle of the book of Nick when he was younger. These are quite endearing to me being a mother and grandmother myself. I feel I need to address the author: Nick, I feel as though I know you. You have helped me with all you shared. You can't possibly know what I am facing with my calling in the Lord Jesus Christ...but yet you have given me such sound and seasoned advice that I KNOW comes from the Lord. I feel as though I've had time with you. Reading what you have written has helped me to see that I must not be sitting around “waiting” for what I know I am called to do to just appear but that I must take some steps towards it. That I must not waste my time with frivolous things but only do what is in alignment with where I am going. You write in such a way that it is easy to digest. Not all that intellectual mumbo jumbo that some are in the habit of doing but yet it is evident that you are quite intelligent and knowledgable. Thank you so much! Here's a hug for you...(((((((NICK))))))) God bless you and keep it up!!!! I know there are challenges yet that lie ahead for you but you can rise to those challenges in Christ Jesus! I am glad I read your book and will suggest it to others as well. In the love of Christ!!!! Jean Do I need to say that I wholly recommend this book? IF so....I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

Visions Of The Coming Days by R.Loren Sandford

This is one book that I have highlighted, underlined and meditated upon. I will not lend it out. It will be kept for my personal library that I may refer back to it. I have already taken this book to a women’s ministry meeting and have read excerpts out of it to share with the others and also recommended they each get their own copy. To be perfectly honest with you, ending up with this particular book in my hands was a set up of the Holy Spirit. He set me up. He prepared me ahead of time using nature…little foxes…beware the little foxes which spoil the vine…little sins which grow up into destruction in ones life. Lord was revealing to me the need for holiness in my life and had begun pointing things out. Next thing I know I am reading about “…the need for integrity and character to be woven into the life of any person who has been given a spiritual gift” via R. Loren Sandford in his book “VISIONS OF THE COMING DAYS.” There are many, many things R.Loren Sandford addresses in this book. It is chock full of material you will want to take in and digest if you are interested in being prepared for what lies ahead in the coming days. I am being shown it is like someone holding a light and showing important facts quite clearly. Reading this book has caused me to become wrecked for anything of the ordinary. A book in due season. I received this book for free in exchange for a book review. I was not required to give a favorable review. Freely I have been given, now freely I give. I received this book from the publisher CHOSEN, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

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.

I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review.
