I recently had the opportunity to review a CD; that doesn’t happen very
often! The CD is entitled OUR GOD COMES; it is a worship CD from the worship band, Antioch Live.
Here is the ‘synopsis’ of the CD and the band:

Due to the
fact that I don’t have as much time to review books as I used to (as I am
attending seminary and have many other obligations), I try to be more selective
in the books I read and review these days. The latest book that ‘passed my
test’ (!) is ‘Peril’ by Jordyn Redwood.

synopsis of this novel:

I was one
of the blessed people who had the opportunity to be on the blog tour for a
great book by Paul Stutzman called ‘Hiking Through: One Man’s Journey to Peace and Freedom on the Appalachian Trail.’ When I heard he had a new book on a new adventure, I knew it was time to hope

One of the
most well-known expressions in history is ‘Know your enemy.’ It comes from the
ancient Chinese military treatise ‘The Art of War’ by Sun Tzu. As Christians,
we are in a daily battle against the enemy of our soul.
‘Magnificent Malevolence: Memoirs of a Career in Hell in the Tradition of The Screwtape Letters’ by Derek Wilson shows us the mindset and thought

Being a
seminary student, I thought I’d draw closer to the Lord. But head knowledge
does not necessarily translate to heart knowledge. So I still look for Bible
studies to share with friends as my schedule permits. The latest one that has
crossed my path is ‘Her Restless Heart: A Woman’s Longing for Love and Acceptance’ by Barbara Cameron.
I was particularly intrigued by this one Andrea Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03686560244139536883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054915797639165411.post-28331511196251269472013-05-21T12:00:00.000-04:002013-05-21T12:00:05.441-04:00‘The Cat That God Sent’ by Jim Kraus – Book Review
Anyone who
knows me knows that I am a dog person rather than a cat person; one is usually
one or the other! So although I was (honestly) less than enthusiastic about
reviewing ‘The Cat That God Sent’ by Jim Kraus, nonetheless I did. And I truly enjoyed it a lot!
Here is the
synopsis of this novel:
Meet Petey, your not-so-average cat –
on a mission from God.

Anyone who
knows me knows that I am a dog person! We currently own two adorable and
precious Cocker Spaniels. I find them to be special creations from God, so when
I heard about the blog tour for ‘The Dog That Talked to God’ by Jim Kraus, I knew I
wanted to read that one!

Over the
last several years, the Lord has been working on my heart to help me be more
loving and less judgmental. I always feel that I need more help in that area.
So when I heard about the blog tour for ‘Permission Granted – And Other Thoughts on Living Graciously Among Sinners and Saints’ by Margot
Starbuck, I was intrigued by the title and
wanted to be involved.
