the author’s private journals of intimacy with God come devotions
inspired by images from Him. Through these innermost revelations, you
will see more of who God is, more of His nature, more of His great love,
and more of who we are, in Christ Jesus. The devotional inspires
spiritual growth and calls readers to a deeper and closer relationship
with God.<br /><br />Each devotion in <span class="a-text-bold a-text-italic">Images From God</span><span>
includes passages of Scripture and Sketch & Write journal prompts.
Through choosing one or more of the prompts, you are encouraged to have
your own intimate meeting time with God. Whether you choose to sketch or
to write, it’s an opportunity to engage God in conversation and a time
to receive personal revelation. So, come, you are invited to encounter
God’s Heart!</span></span></div></div>Dawn M.

Dianne is a mother and pastor and a lover of people. God gave her a passion for hospitality (which is another word for love). One thing that I admire about Dianne is that she challenges me. She challenged me years ago to do a women's retreat (I admit I did it kicking and screaming, at first). Another thing I love about Dianne is that she encourages me -- to keep going, to run the race, to seek God, to do what He's called me to do. I am so thankful for this woman. Her book is like her -- challenging, yet encouraging. It makes me want to love people better. Read it. The world needs radical hospitality. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJAS7C-07tbHSw2xXZpZiXUbFZ9J3E7bAenVkgxKxqRR-7H9yIK8pS21NP30IKELqCjVPXhBVrIoE2LC4isIbbQrpfwNpEewdm9d4UZO6YyvZ2yEiYVmwhYhrk5RtfYBpw4V3T1-pjl-vbD9KjjMYnYHiYVcIuBip3OlFcEdzQeXe9mYInupp1wWO5A/s4032/just%20image%20book.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJAS7C-07tbHSw2xXZpZiXUbFZ9J3E7bAenVkgxKxqRR-7H9yIK8pS21NP30IKELqCjVPXhBVrIoE2LC4isIbbQrpfwNpEewdm9d4UZO6YyvZ2yEiYVmwhYhrk5RtfYBpw4V3T1-pjl-vbD9KjjMYnYHiYVcIuBip3OlFcEdzQeXe9mYInupp1wWO5A/s320/just%20image%20book.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">This book is a call to bring radical love and hospitality to a hurting world. This beautiful book challenges us to get messy with people -- to get out extra paper towels! In a world where people are hoarding privacy and isolation has become the norm, intentional hospitality is needed more than ever. People want to be loved and feel like they belong. Jesus took the time to connect and touch people, and we should too. Whether you want to be more hospitable or you want that for your church, this book is an excellent resource. It contains wonderful life examples and even has self and church assessments that can help show areas for improvement.</span><p></p>Dawn M.

<i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"I have bestowed strength on a warrior..." Psalm 89:19</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">God tells me I am a warrior like David. Prayer is a sword that cuts through strongholds that we cannot see. Since we often cannot see the outcome of prayer (or we don't share testimonies), we assume prayer doesn't do much...and that is just what the enemy wants us to think. Don't fall for it! God has given us strength through Jesus, who has already overcome evil! We <i><b>are</b></i> warriors! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, let's pray like it!</span></span><br />

God "delights" in me. Isn't that amazing?! A friend told me recently
that she is God's favorite! Well, I'm his favorite too! And so are you!
His heart delights in us, His children.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="a-size-extra-large" id="productTitle">Overview: </span>The Christian life requires an immense amount of faith. Often when
frustrations and challenges arise, we are left wondering where God is.
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thousands of years ago a man found himself in the same struggle. God
had chosen Abraham for great things. But the man who would go on to
become the Father of Nations had to first learn how to take the smallest
steps of faith.
</span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><br />How did Abraham become a character of legendary faith? And how can
we learn from his example so that we can become the great men and women
God has called us to be?
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Climbing with Abraham is a thirty-day devotional which answers these
questions. In this short book you will be challenged, inspired and
taught how to become a faith giant!
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Start your journey today and take the climb with one of the greatest Biblical characters towards your purpose. </span></span></span></h1>

<h1 class="a-size-large a-spacing-none" id="title">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dawn's Recommendation: 5 of 5 Stars!<br /><br />What I Liked: I love these one-page devos! They are easy to read, yet they encourage a deepening of faith. Each devo begins with Scripture reading. Then, as you learn more about Abraham, David Ramos encourages you to apply what you learn to your life. He closes each one with a Takeaway and a Prayer. Each devotion shares a powerful truth about God, and by learning more about Abraham and his interaction with God, we can begin to press into God, as well. God spoke to Abraham and even to Hagar, so why wouldn't He speak to us? Let this devo series take you closer to God Almighty! Here are a few topics that really spoke to me:</span></span></span></h1>
<h1 class="a-size-large a-spacing-none" id="title">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></h1>
<h1 class="a-size-large a-spacing-none" id="title">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">*Listening and following God<br />*Dealing with frustration<br />*Trusting God when His timing is not our own<br />*Making mistakes<br />*Trusting God's promises and being patient<br />*Leadership and spiritual responsibility</span></span></span></h1>
<h1 class="a-size-large a-spacing-none" id="title">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></h1>
<h1 class="a-size-large a-spacing-none" id="title">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As I read each devotion, I have been journaling too and this has helped me apply what I am learning to my own faith journey. I think many readers will identify with the topics. Great devotion series! </span></span></span></h1>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Some wear a mask that shows the world they are tough (bullies). Some, like me, wore a mask that did not cry and one that conformed to the world (in looks and behavior) just to survive school because of what the bullies did. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Either way, bullies or victims...all wear a mask. They are not living in their true identities in Christ. He takes off the masks to reveal breathtaking light, holiness, worthiness, love, glory, honor, peace, joy...the list goes on and on.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lift up your heads, O gates, </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lift them up, O ancient doors,</span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That the King of glory may come in! </span></span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i><span class="reftext"></span>Who is this King of glory?<br /> He is the Lord God Almighty.</i> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">- Psalm 24:9-10</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This Scripture has been coming to me over and over again. I feel led to pray it over friends and family, church and work, and over my town. Today, I realized that <b><i>we </i></b>are the gates, the doors. We are so heavy and burdened that we forget to look up. Our hinges are corroded and rusted in place. We are stubborn and stiff-necked. Lord, we feel stuck! We need You to free us, so that we can move in your love and grace and peace. If only we would make the first step; to lift up our heads, then we would catch a glimpse of the King. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lord, help us say yes to You. Help us let You in. You will lift and open our heavy doors in your strong hands. You are able to handle the burdens that have kept us down for so long. You are healer and deliverer. Redeem your church, your land, and your people, I pray. In Jesus' name. Amen. </span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"Four Souls: A Search for Epic Life" is so encouraging!</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Overview: Four young men with bright futures step off the path of graduate school
and careers in search of something more--something epic. Desiring more
from life than well-paying jobs and large bank accounts, they embark on a
worldwide expedition, forging into the Guatemalan highlands, Russia's
far north, the mountains of South Africa, villages in Bangladesh,
Nepal's Himalayas, rural Vietnam and other rarely traveled lands.
Through journal entries and first person accounts, Four Souls weaves
together the tales of their journey, including near-death escapes and
bribe-seeking officials, prison camps and race riots, hurricanes and
illegal smuggling. More than just a collection of gripping stories, Four
Souls chronicles the dawning realization that came through the
adventure: that the life they were seeking is in the reach of all who
are willing to grasp it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I Liked: I loved the adventure of these for young Christians as they set out to travel the world, share the Gospel, serve people, and follow Jesus. This is such an encouraging book; by offering themselves to communities in Guatemala, Russia, Vietnam, South Africa, and Bangladesh, they were open to God working and to gaining a world view on people and need, it encourages me to life life to the fullest. They didn't want a hum drum sort of life. They wanted the abundant life that Jesus calls us all to. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I admire their trust in God to provide for their trip and for his care of them on the trip. Throughout the book they share journal entries of what they were experiencing and learning about themselves and God. Truly a remarkable book, as told by all four of them! You feel like you went alone on the trip. This book will help you understand what Christians are going through in these countries and the need for help and prayer for them. Thank you, Mike, Matt, Jedd, and Trey for sharing your adventure. May you have many more: a lifetime of them!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ever take a trip like this or a mission trip? Share one experience or thought about it.</span></span></b></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was singing this as the buckets caught the drips in our
bedroom from the 2-4 inches of rainfall last Sunday evening. My Spirit wasn’t
worried over the leaky roof, as it would have been in the past. No, instead,
the rain made me sing “All My Fountains”. Even the song from church that
morning was “Open Up the Heavens” by Meredith Andrews about floodgates and
mighty rivers. I went to sleep to the sweet sound of drip, drip, drip – a
message from My Heavenly Father. I will praise You in this storm.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="st">"The God Pocket" by Bruce Wilkinson will change your life, if you let God work through you!</span></span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="st"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Overview:</span> What if you could take something out of your pocket today that would
make God wonderfully personal and absolutely real to someone who, only
minutes earlier, had been secretly calling out to God for help, for an
answer, for any shred of evidence that He cares?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Discover the
incredible resource that’s small enough to fit in your wallet or purse,
yet big enough to change someone’s life – starting with yours. In <i>The God Pocket</i>,
Bruce Wilkinson tells you what that little something is, explains how
to deliver God’s provision to someone in need, and shares how God is
ready to reveal Himself through you.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I Liked: I firmly believe that God puts books in my path for a reason and this book's concept is what God is currently working on me. I really liked that the book goes step by step on how to put money aside for God's use and how and when to give it to the people God places before you. This book is perfect for the person who wants to honor God, grow in generosity, and trust in the Lord (not only to provide the people to give the money to, but to provide the money, in which to give). It has great stories of people who have given money to others in this way. It is a short read, you can finish it in one evening. It will be a book I read again. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">On a side, personal note: giving money in this way will change your life. It has changed me! I had already started to give money to people and charities, but this book helps explain different aspects of giving in this way that I didn't think about before, like setting aside the money first, as an offering, instead of just reaching in your own wallet to give a homeless person your money. Neat things to think about and good instruction.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I Didn't Like: The only thing that bothered me a little was that it felt a bit commercialized. The author likes to coin a lot of terms (ex. "The God Nudge" and "Delivery Agent"). Why give everything a title? Also, you can buy pre-made God Pockets. Ummm...why, when a plain envelope will do? </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>In "The Job", Steve Osborne shares some of his
best NY city cop stories!</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Overview: Steve Osborne has seen a thing or two in his twenty years in the
NYPD—some harmless things, some definitely not. In "Stakeout," Steve and
his partner mistake a Manhattan dentist for an armed robbery suspect
and reduce the man down to a puddle of snot and tears when questioning
him. In "Mug Shot," the mother of a suspected criminal makes a strange
request and provides a sobering reminder of the humanity at stake in his
profession. And in "Home," the image of his family provides the
adrenaline he needs to fight for his life when assaulted by two armed
and violent crackheads. From his days as a rookie cop to the time spent
patrolling in the Anti-Crime Unit—and his visceral, harrowing
recollections of working during 9/11—Steve Osborne's stories capture
both the absurdity of police work and the bravery of those who do it.
His stories will speak to those nostalgic for the New York City of the
1980s and '90s, a bygone era of when the city was a crazier, more
dangerous (and possibly more interesting) place.</div>

calls police work "the greatest show on earth" and you soon see why.
You definitely get a taste for what being a cop in a big city is like. From
chasing a perp through a subway tunnel to feeding hotdogs to a junkie, you will
be entertained by his style of storytelling. It is refreshing to read, not only
about his love for "the job", but about his stupid mistakes that
could have cost him his life. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Same Kind of Different as Me" by Ron Hall and Denver Moore is a true story of redemption, love, and grace.</b></span></span><br />
<br />
Overview: A dangerous, homeless drifter who grew up picking cotton in virtual
slavery. An upscale art dealer accustomed to the world of Armani and
Chanel. A gutsy woman with a stubborn dream. A story so incredible no
novelist would dare dream it.<br />
<br />
It begins outside a burning
plantation hut in Louisiana…and an East Texas honky-tonk…and, without a
doubt, in the heart of God. It unfolds in a Hollywood hacienda…an
upscale New York gallery…a downtown dumpster…a Texas ranch.<br />
Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, this true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dawn's Recommendation: 5 of 5 Stars</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I Liked: This reads like a GREAT fiction book, but it is true story! You get so caught up in the story, you forget it is real-life! You can almost hear Denver's southern voice coming off the page. Chapters flip back and forth between Denver and Ron, but it is easy to follow. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I read it in only two days. I just couldn't put it down!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The most amazing thing about this story is Deborah Hall, wife of Ron. Because of her love for Christ and her growing faith, she forgave her husband, began working with the homeless, heard from God, and stepped out in faith. Because of her love and her actions, lives were transformed for Christ.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Not only is this a fantastic story, it inspires me to be like Deborah (Miss Debbie), a woman of faith, prayer, and action!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i><b>Who do you know that is like Deborah, who follows Jesus like her? </b></i></span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Things in "Unoffendable" by Brant Hansen might offend
you, but that can be a good thing! Learning to not be offended can bring "new dimensions of rest, grace, and simplicity".</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
Overview: It’s a radical, provocative idea: We’re not entitled to get offended
or stay angry. The idea of our own “righteous anger” is a myth. It is
the number one problem in our societies today and, as Dallas Willard
says, Christians have not been taught out of it.<br />
<br />
As it turns out,
giving up our “right” to be offended can be one of the most freeing,
healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving,
encouraging things we can do.<br />
<br />
In <i>Unoffendable</i> readers
will find something of immeasurable value—a concrete, practical way to
live life with less stress. They’ll adjust their expectations to fit
human nature and replace perpetual anger with refreshing humility and
gratitude. The book offers a unique viewpoint, challenging the idea that Christians can ever harbor “righteous anger” or that there even <i>is</i> such a thing for believers.<br />
<br />
Few
other books exist with such a radical, provocative proposal to
consider. We have no right to anger. We are to get rid of it, period.
Completely. And it <i>is </i>possible to choose to be “unoffendable.”<br />
Through
the author’s winsome, humorous, and conversational style, this book
doesn’t add another thing to do on a stressed-out person’s ever-growing
list. Better, it actually seeks to <i>lift</i> religious burdens from
readers’ backs and allow them to experience the joy of gratitude,
perhaps for the first time, every single day of their lives.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dawn's Recommendation: 4.5 of 5 Stars</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">First, I <strike>like</strike> love Brant Hansen's humor. I love listening to
his talk show on the radio (Christian radio WordFM). His book reads just like
he talks. That might take a little getting used to, but you'll be glad to dig deep into this book! Here's why.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I wanted to read the book b/c I like Brant's show, not
because I thought I had a problem with anger and being offended. Here's the
kicker. While reading the book, I realized I DO have a problem! Not so much
with anger, but with judging and not accepting people who are different than
me. I have a problem loving all people. Wow. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This book was fantastic for me, spiritually. It, like The
Bible and like other books I've read like "Jesus Prom", teach me to
love like Jesus did/does. This book tells me to stop being offended by people
(what they do and say) and just love them. Don't condemn
them. Don't throw rules at them. Just love them. (And, life becomes sweeter for you too.) </span></span><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You are going to enjoy the stories that Brant shares, his humor, and the message.</span></span><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have to share this God Sighting. I was 1/4 of the way
through the book and I met an artist at a downtown craft show. She and her
photography were raw, but beautiful. She captured the ugly, the unwanted, the broken,
and discarded things in life...and made them into art. I connected with her and
her work. That night I prayed for her. Hard. She may never know the impact she
made on me, but it fit perfectly with "Unoffendable". God takes us,
broken and sinful, and makes us beautiful and holy. </span></span></i><i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></b></i><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Nothing is impossible for God. The Grave Robber by Mark Batterson takes a look at Jesus' miracles. Do you need a miracle?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
Overview: Do we believe that God still does miracles? Do we expect him to move in
miraculous ways in our day-in, day-out lives? Maybe we'd like to see
miracles, but it's hard to see past our problems. All that is about to
change, like water into wine.<br /> <br />"There are miracles all around us
all the time," says Mark Batterson, "but you won't see them if you don't
know how to look for them."<br /> <br />Now the bestselling author of <i>The Circle Maker</i>
reveals the incredible power of the seven miraculous signs of Jesus
found in the Gospel of John. Batterson shows how they were not simply
something Jesus did in the past, but something he wants to do <i>now</i>,
in the present. He shares true stories of people today who are
experiencing miracles in their lives. And he brings to light countless
miracles, big and small, that we take for granted every day that point
us toward the One who healed the sick, calmed the storm, and yes, even
raised the dead.<br /><br />But this is more than a book about miracles.
It's a book about the only One who can perform them. Batterson cautions
readers, "Don't just seek miracles. Seek Jesus. And if you seek Jesus,
miracles will find you."<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dawn's Recommendation: 4.5 of 5 Stars </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I Liked: I liked reading about Jesus' miracles and miracles that Mark Batterson shares from today. The book is encouraging, sharing testimonies of how God works. God can and will do miracles, but do we have faith? Are we seeking God? Miracles? Do we believe God will do them? How does obedience plays into miracles? This book answers all of these questions. It points people to God. Calls them to lean into the One who has all the power and strength and Who loves us so much, He wants to make impossible things possible. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Note: I had a harder time getting into this book than I did with Mark Batterson's previous books (it didn't have the same page-flipping intensity), but it was still great. We are doing this book & video study in Sunday School and I am enjoying it. </span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"The Invisible War" by Chip Ingram is a must read for Christians!</span></span></b><br />
<br />
Overview: Some Christians believe strongly in the existence of demons and
spiritual warfare. Others downplay or even ignore the idea. With such
divergent views, how are Christians supposed to know the truth about
demonic forces at work in this world? The Invisible War examines what
every believer needs to know about Satan, demons, and spiritual warfare,
offering a balanced look at this controversial subject. This
provocative book will help Christians understand what the Bible says
about these threats and will show them how they can safeguard themselves
and their families through prayer. Now available in trade paper, The
Invisible War offers a balanced look at what is going on in the
spiritual realm and what believers can do to defend themselves.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dawn's Review: 5 of 5 Stars</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I Liked: The whole book is chalk-full of practical "how to" ways to stay in the Lord and fight spiritual battles when they arise. This book was mentioned in another book, "For the Joy Set Before Us" by Erica Fye and I am so glad I got it! Chip Ingram has extensive experience with spiritual warfare and is a wealth of knowledge. It was eye-opening, giving real-life examples of spiritual warfare going on in the U.S. and overseas. It also gives reasons why most Western Christians don't seem to experience much in the way of spiritual warfare. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It explains the urgency for prayer that is consistent, intense, and strategic and if we'd pray like that, more spiritual battles would be won. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Bible says to put on your spiritual armor, but "The Invisible War" helps explain what each armor piece is, what it does, and it explains how to put it on. I underlined something on every page - that's how good it is! This book is a keeper! It will be a reference tool I will go back to over and over again!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>From WWII refugee to Indentured Servant, you will enjoy reading about Ella's life in Displaced Person by Ella E. Schneider Hilton.</b></span></span><br />
<br />
Overview: In her moving and deeply personal memoir, Ella E. Schneider Hilton
chronicles her remarkable childhood—one that took her from the purges of
Stalinist Russia to the refugee camps of Nazi and postwar Germany to
the cotton fields of Jim Crow Mississippi before granting her access to
the American dream. Despite her hard life as a refugee, Ella finds
solace in others and retains her indomitably inquisitive spirit.
Throughout her ordeals, she never relinquishes hope or sight of her goal
of education. Poignantly and freshly rendered, this is a tale of
determination. It is the story of a girl caught up first in the
maelstrom of World War II and then in the complexities of American
southern culture, adjusting to events beyond her control with resiliency
as she searches for faith, knowledge, and a place in the world.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dawn's Recommendation: 4.5 of 5 Stars</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What I Liked: This was a really enjoyable memoir. The author shared every aspect of her growing up years in Russia, Germany, and the U.S. It reveals the family's challenging living conditions as a refugee and later as they worked for their sponsor in the U.S. to pay them back for their traveling fare. You read how hard their lives were, what they ate, how hard they worked, and the sacrifices for their children. Ella was a delight to read about. I love her constant questions and her drive for schooling. I especially appreciate her willingness to share intimate details of her life (from how they used the bathroom to how she was almost raped) -- this made for very real-life reading. You leave the book feeling like you know her well.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What I Didn't Like: I loved the book, though I was saddened to read how Ella was disciplined, but I think many parents in that generation believed in "spare the rod, spoil the child" and believed in corporal punishment. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Great read for the summer!</span></span><br />

My daughter was ready to steal it the moment it arrived, but I managed to hold her off till I got the review finished.</span></span></b></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Overview: </span></span>This book is designed to get you thinking. There’s no right or wrong way
to complete it. You may use these pages to record thoughts, compose
poetry, set goals, write prayers, paste photographs, paint pictures,
draw sketches, make lists, tape mementos—or a combination of any or all
of the above. My goal in creating this little journal is to inspire you
to think deeply about some of life’s biggest questions, such as: Who
are you? Why are you here? How can you live with meaning and purpose?
And as you think through your answers to these questions, I hope you’ll
enjoy using the space provided to write down your thoughts.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dawn's Recommendation: 5 of 5 Stars!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I liked: The first thing I loved was its Victorian style, with its fonts like calligraphy and primer letters and the clip art silhouettes and scenes from mid-1800's, the book makes a girl want to dream. Even the shape of the book is lovely, being wider than other books.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After falling in love with the way the book looks, I sat down to read the content. It is a journal, so many pages have writing prompts, Victorian clip art, and lots of space to write (which as a writer, I love)! The opening Introduction is a letter from the author encouraging girls to think about the deeper things in life and focus on God as our comfort. (<i>I think Ms. Flanders and I could be best friends.</i>) </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This book is chalk full with Scripture, quotes, hymns/songs, prompts, space to capture all kinds of memories, goals, favorite things, even mini Bible study on worry and service, current events, prayer, an address and birthday records sections, and much more! There are even two pages that have bookmarks that can be photocopied. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ms. Flanders has three more devo journals coming out soon (one for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Be-Still-My-Soul-Devotional/dp/1938945220/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">boys</a>, moms, and wives). I can't wait to get the mom and wife ones! As soon as I got this book, I wanted to buy 20 more to give to all the girls I know at church. It's that fantastic!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Ok, I love this donkey! Read "Flash: The Homeless Donkey Who Taught Me about Life, Faith, and Second Chances" by Rachel Anne Ridge!</b></i></span></span><br />
<br />
Overview: Rachel Anne Ridge was at the end of her rope. The economy had crashed,
taking her formerly thriving business along with it. She had been a
successful artist, doing work she loved, but now she felt like a
failure. How would her family pay their bills? What would the future
hold? If only God would somehow let them know that everything was going
to be all right . . . and then Flash the donkey showed up.<br />
<br />
If
there is ever a good time to discover a wounded, frightened, bedraggled
donkey standing in your driveway, this wasn’t it. The local sheriff
dismissed Flash as “worthless.” But Rachel didn’t believe that, and she
couldn’t turn him away. She brought Flash into her struggling family
during their darkest hour―and he turned out to be the very thing they
needed most. <i>Flash</i> is the true story of their adventures together
in learning to love and trust; breaking down whatever fences stood in
their way; and finding the strength, confidence, and faith to carry on.
Prepare to fall in love with Flash: a quirky, unlikely hero with
gigantic ears, a deafening bray, a personality as big as Texas, and a
story you’ll never forget.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dawn's Recommendation: 5 of 5 Stars </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I loved the beautiful stories about Flash, the donkey, and his family and the lessons that God taught Ms. Ridge through Flash. They are lessons for everyone (from friendship to fear to stepping out in faith). With each story, readers fall more and more in love with Flash. After reading this book, everyone will want their very own donkey!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The book is a fast read and is well-written. I enjoyed the author sharing personal stories of her art business, family, and dog, Beau too. I also loved that the life-lessons are listed in the back as a review. This a sweet memoir that will make your summer!</span></span><br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8fGdSBSqPmQ/VVu9kxJd12I/AAAAAAAADWM/000SXX_oQZ4/s1600/hidden%2Bflame.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8fGdSBSqPmQ/VVu9kxJd12I/AAAAAAAADWM/000SXX_oQZ4/s1600/hidden%2Bflame.jpg" /></a></div>
<i><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"The Hidden Flame: Acts of Faith Book 2" is wonderful fiction set just after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection!</span></span></b></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Overview: Abigail loses everything and is left with little promise of a normal
life. When she discovers the Messiah and joins his followers, she also
discovers new meaning and purpose. Maybe she does have a future after
all. But increasing persecution is scattering the burgeoning group "to
the ends of the earth." And Abigail may have given her heart to the
wrong man.<br /><br />Two suitors desire the lovely Abigail's hand in
marriage. One is a successful Hebrew merchant and widower looking for a
mother for his children. On the other side is the Roman soldier Linux,
who is captivated by her winsome charm and could offer the
sanctuary--maybe even the love--for which she yearns. But her heart has
been captured by neither of these. Stephen, one of the leaders of The
Way, has a character and a faith that move her deeply, but his outspoken
preaching has marked him for assassination. Will her faith and courage
withstand a heartbreak beyond comprehension? <br /><br />And then a glimmer of hope appears, one she never would have foreseen.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dawn's Recommendation: 5 of 5 Stars!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What I Liked: It really made me think of how things happened after Jesus died. How Peter preached and brought many to new converts to Christ and how they cared for widow. The book brought characters like Peter and Stephen, Gamaliel, Sapphira and Ananias, to life. Very well-written and well done. It follows the Bible stories from the New Testament well and adds great fictional characters like Abigail and Linux.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am currently watching A.D. The Bible Continues on TV and I much prefer reading this book series (Acts of Faith) to the show. The books leave me with how Christianity grew so much, how love and hope spread through those faithful followers of Jesus. A.D. leaves me disgusted with blood and gore, tangled in Rome and Jewish politics. I have an even greater appreciation for Davis Bunn and Janette Oke now. Good job to them for bringing this period in history to life with fiction!!!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What I didn't Like: Nothing. Great book!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>"A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps."</i> Proverbs 14:15</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have been praying, but haven't been hearing from God very well. Now that the weather is warm, I want to get back to walking over my lunch break. In the past, I have heard from God mightily during some of those walks. Today, I did walk, and I heard from Him again and it was like sweet, refreshing water.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He reminded me that I still need to guard my heart with one friendship. He reminded me that He is listening and that He loves me so much. He confirmed that I am being the hands and feet of Jesus as I encourage friends.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There is something about the "act of doing" when you pray that opens up communication with God. I think God hears us when we sit and pray, but by moving and putting work into it, the volume is turned up. I can't wait for tomorrow's walk...and the next day's, and the next days....</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i><b>Do you think communication with God is deeper by "doing"? </b></i></span></span><br />
