The Grace of God

I received a copy of Andy Stanley's The Grace of God from Booksneeze. Andy Stanley explores grace shown in the Old and New Testaments. He looks at grace by explaining the story of Grace: being Chosen by Grace, Surprised by Grace, Redeemed by Grace, Ruled by Grace, Rescued by Grace, Sustained by Grace, Puzzled by Grace, Accepted by Grace, Reborn by Grace, Filled by Grace, Saved by Grace and Commissioned by Grace. This book delivers great insight, inspiration, and simple truths in a memorable way. With grace comes faith. Such a strong statement in such an uncertain world.

Fresh-Brewed Life

I recently received a copy of Fresh-Brewed Life A Stirring Invitation to Wake Up Your Soul by Nicole Johnson from Booksneeze. I really enjoyed reading the book because it was written by a woman for women. She gives examples from her life and other women she knows to help back up and reinforce her teachings. Nicole comares fresh brewed java to how our life can be brewed as well. She describes the fresh brewed life as a journey of awakenings to God, to ourselves and to others. So grab a cup of joe and savor this book. You won't regret it for sure.

The Little Red Book of Wisdom

Mark DeMoss has a great way of giving wisdom from his and others lives. The chapters are short and to the point but are loaded with information and real life examples. I think it's wonderful to be able to get advice like this from a business owner and leader who does the right thing even if it means not doing big money deals. How many businesses look past the money to stick with their mission statements? Not many. The wisdom DeMoss gives in this book is not just for businesses.

The Blessing

I recently recieved a complimentary copy of the book "The Blessing: Giving the Gift of Unconditional Love and Acceptance" by John Trent, Ph.D. and Gary Smalley from Thomas Nelson Publishing as part of the Booksneeze book review team. Little did I realize that this book is actually a reprint of a 25 year old book. The subject matter is as applicable today as it was then. The blessing enlightens the reader into the importance of giving and receiving a blessing. It offers explanations, illustrations, benefits, consequences, advice, and challenges to parents and children of all ages. This concept of giving "The Blessing" is easy, but it's missed in today's society. If I could I'd put this on the 'must read' list of every potential parent.

Be the people

A Call to Reclaim Americas Faith and Promise by Carol Swain. This book talks about many areas including but not limited to AIDS, illegal immigration, racism, and relations in America. Describing the problems that our government and we are facing and how we got to this point. We as a people need to change the way these things are going or else. She really raises an awareness in the reader and keeps it informative yet simple and easy to understand. This is a book every American should read.

The Final Summit

Recently I read The Final Summit by Andy Andrews. The book takes up with David Ponder from The Traveler's Gift many years later. This is a hard to put down book like many of Andrew's other books. Andrews has a way of creating a picture for the reader and allows you to go inside the story. David Ponder is summoned, with 5 other travelers, to provide a two word answer to explain how humanity can get back on the right course. I highly recommend this book.

Jolt!

Phil Cooke talks about 5 different sections in your life that you should Jolt!. Among them are your direction, what matters, your potential, your heart and your future. This book is adapting to the changing world. The information in the book can be applied to your personal and professional life.
