Dream Killers by Jim Raley

This book “Dream Killers” by Jim Raley is yet ANOTHER one of those books that I feel the Lord has placed in my hands in a most timely manner...a book or a word in due season if you will. I was reading this book during the season when the Lord had me step out and in to a place of His authority...that in being the minister who officiated at my own sister's Celebration of Life services. This is a VERY good book for those called to the ministry to read...but I could see how others could benefit as well. For anyone wanting to follow their dreams! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it when writers use the bible as examples because it helps me to “GET IT” and also expounds on the written word for me as well!!!! That is one special gift...the gift of teaching the Word of God and then to write about it!!! The author shared SO many wonderful insights that I have no doubt believing came from our Lord. I could see this book being encrusted with beautiful gems...on each and every page. More like a treasure chest! I read raving reviews about another book Jim Raley has written titled “Hell's Spells' and now want to read that one as well. Pray and see if the Lord would have you get this book for yourself! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!! I received this book for free in exchange for a free book review from the Charisma House publishers through the www.thebookteria.com book review program.

Wounded by God's People by Anne Graham Lotz

I am oftentimes so amazed by how the Lord will land things in your lap that are so ON TIME! This book was one such things. I wanted to read this book because of wounds I had received through church people but I had no idea that I still had wounds from the church I grew up in! These were the deepest and worst hurts and yet I had overlooked them! I was in the middle of this book when I decided to attend a 100th year Centennial at the church of my youth. I felt I was doing it out of honor and respect for my parents who have passed over some time ago. When I got to the church hall and then walked through the class rooms where I went to grade school it all came rushing back to me. The abuse I suffered at the hands of those who were put in place to teach me. It came at me like a flood. While there in the hall and later the classrooms, all around me seemed to be in festive mode. I was not. All I could recall were the times I had been abused by those who I was supposed to look up to and learn from. The worst of it though, was the coming home and telling my parents about what had happened to me that day and nothing being done about it. OUCH! (picture is of me holding a school uniform just like the one I had worn, I could smell maple syrup which caused all these bad memories to come rushing up to me)

Coming home and reading in Anne Graham Lotz book about wounds and forgiveness...I knew then that this book came into my hands at just the perfect time. God's time. It was a book or a word in due season! Bawled my eyes out! I loved everything about Anne's book! The front and back cover, the size of the book, it being a hard back. The contents were the best part! I also learned a whole lot about the Bible as Anne uses bible stories to make her point. It seems to me that she is truly gifted as a bible teacher! Really makes things easier to understand and in such a delightful way! Love that her dad is Billy Graham as I have such respect for him as well. I will not hesitate to read any other book that Anne Graham Lotz has written! Very anointed author...very anointed book!!! I recommend this book wholeheartedly! Thanks Anne!!! What you wrote has helped me immensely which has also helped give me a boost out into what I am called to do! You are hearing the Lord! There is no doubt about it. Thanks Lord!!!! To You we give all the glory, honor and praise!!! \o/ Following reading this book and before writing this book review I found the Lord revealing further hurts in my heart that needed healing. It seems the Lord is now taking me into a deep healing and for this I am most thankful.

What Your Dreams Are Telling You by Cindy McGill

I have been having dreams since I was a child. Some of these have been nightmares I must admit. As I grew older and began to learn more about the spiritual gifts that God gives I learned that these dreams I was having were gifts from God. Dreams are one of the ways in which God speaks to us. One of His languages. I have had dreams that have come to pass. I am in a current season of being aware of many dreams so you can see why I have an interest in reading this book by Cindy McGill. Cindy's writings are refreshing and not anything that I had heard of before! It has given me greater insight and direction as well as to what I ought to be doing with these dreams. Reading about how Cindy and others formed teams and went places to do dream interpretations caused something to rise up in me and to give me the desire to do the same! I made a discovery as well...that I am guilty of waking up, going to my dream journal, jotting down the dream and then forgetting about it. I learned that one needs the interpretation of the dream in the time frame it is given! Seems to be common sense but I hadn't realized that! Also that we each have our own "dream language" meaning that what one thing means to someone is something entirely different to another! I have had a dream book in the past which described meanings of different things. Many loved it...but I did not. It meant nothing to me. This book is different. It is refreshing. If you are a dreamer you will want to read it. I recommend this book to you! God bless you as you continue to discover what the Lord has placed within you and how to use it!!!

Appointments with Heaven by Dr. Reggie Anderson

If you read only one book this year than make it this one! I am awarding this book as my "NUMBER ONE BOOK OF THE YEAR." I won't take it back after reading other books either. I am not sure what I can even say that will give this book justice...words do not seem to describe it. That is usually how it goes when there is something of the Lord that has been revealed to you...it is hard to explain in words. As I read this book I found myself in tears over and over. I was just that touched by knowing these words, the experiences which the author describes, are from the Lord. I know because I have had my own experiences as well! I now look forward to future times with the Lord. I have had death bed experiences as has the author. I have been shown things as has the author..but in different ways. At the end of this book I wept for some time and could not go to sleep. I was touched deeply in a way that only God can do. Do I recommend this book????? Oh my...read it. You won't be sorry. If this book does not witness to your spirit man and you are skeptical of it being the real deal...then it obviously is NOT for you... It was/is for me and I will refer this book to many in the future. Thanks for writing this book Dr Reggie Anderson!!! I was deeply touched and my life has changed!!! God bless you and your lovely family!!! Hope to read more of what you write if you do write more...

Fashioned to Reign by Kris Vallotton

This book is a fantastic book to read if you are a woman wanting to be free from the snares of the enemy concerning your calling. Woman has been pressed down spiritually speaking, for far too long! First of all...the author, Kris Vallotton, has brought forth some astounding revelation concerning Adam and Eve! It bears witness to my spirit man and has opened my eyes. I am thankful for this! It makes perfect sense to me. Perfect sense. This book is biblically sound. This book will empower and release you if you are a woman! I have gained confidence having read this book. Recently I have had a pastor's wife tell me that women are to be quiet and not teach a man. That this is scriptural. This book will explain to you why this is not true. I recommend this book and would give it 10 stars if that were a choice!

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!

Fearless by Eric Blehm

Before making the decision to order this book or not I spoke with a Christian man who had already read it. He could say nothing but good things about it and as a matter of fact, he recommended it to me. So I went with it and have not been sorry. This is a true story. This is a book written about a man named, “Adam Brown” who, out of an attempt to steer clear of his addictions, chose instead to fight the challenge to become a Navy Seal. I am truthfully NOT into things about the military but have an interest in those who have overcome their addictions with the help of our Lord and God. This is one such story. I totally recommend this book! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
