Stuck sampler

Stuck sampler, is a sample of a dvd based bible/devotional study for woman. I read through the portion of the study that I received in the sample and was so impressed! I wish there was more to it! This study will bring you closer to God, will teach you the truths about who you are and goes after those things that hold us back from a deeper relationship with God. At this time I am looking at buying the actual devotional and everything that comes with it in hopes of using it for a woman's bible study at our church. This is a resource that every church needs for its woman's groups. When I got to the end of the sampler I was sitting her saying, darn it, I wish there was more! (thankfully there is more in the full version of the study, I can't wait to get my hands on that and hear what God is wanting to teach us!

everything the Bible says about Heaven

Everything the Bible says about Heaven. This may be a small book, but it is jam packed with information! What a valuable resource!! It is wonderful that some one took the time to put this book together and gather all the information that the Bible gives us about Heaven. such as where is it? or What does it look like? What do you do there? and so much more. Not only that, we also see the occasional commentary type writing in there about heaven and about what the original author of that book of the Bible is trying to say to us. This is one that I've referred back to over and over again. Great resource for those in the ministry or just those interested in a deeper relationship with God.

Amish Values for your Family

Amish Values for your Family, by Suzanne Woods Fisher. In this book Suzanne Fisher shows us the values of the Amish and how we can apply them to our lives. Suzanne has written many books on the Amish (fiction books), and is one of my favorite authors. Her Amish series the Choice, is my favorite series of Amish books. I am intrigued by the Amish lifestyle and how deep their faith is. So when the opportunity to read a book like this came a long I was ecstatic to read it! There are a long range of subjects covered in this book, from the strong beliefs the Amish have on marriage to raising children and the unique look that the Amish have of the world around them. I really liked this book. As with all of Suzanne Fisher's books that I own, it will take up a much loved spot on my book shelf. Most books I pass on to our church library or give away to friends, but her books are such a treasure to own that they are the ones that I do hold on to and look at over and over again.

Out of Control

Out of Control, by Mary Connealy. Julia is an independent woman. Loves nature and studying nature. She also has that headstrong side of her that says I don't need anyone else's help, I can do it on my own! Well she meets her match in Rafe Kincaid. The oldest of three boys, he has the tendency to think that he knows whats write in every situation and isn't afraid to share with others what they should be doing. Even if that other person is Julia! We see their struggle as they come together in this story battling danger and feelings for each other and the chance of reconciliation with family. Julia and Rafe are so completely opposite that you'll never see how on earth they could come together and make it! I did enjoy this story, while it wasn't my favorite and I'm not a fan of these types of novels to begin with. Mary Connealy add enough humor and intrigue to the story to keep you hooked till the end! definately a book worth reading!

A Confident Heart

A Confident Heart, by Renee Swope. Every woman out there struggles at some point in their lives with confidence. Some manage to overcome it, others live with it for their entire lives! Renee Swope has taken on what seems like a mountainous task of teach woman who they are in Christ. To speak the truth to them about who they are. One part of the book in particular stuck out to me, that was on pg. 106. Where she's telling us the story of Adam and Eve hiding from God because they realized they were naked. Renee takes that verse where God asks them "who told you, that you were naked?" and changes it a little (in a good way) to say "who told you that something is wrong with you? Some one had made them feel that they were shameful, but it wasn't God who cast shame on them. Woman tend to do the same thing, whether it be another woman who is casting shame on them or them believing the lies that Satan so often tells them. God isn't the one telling you that there's something wrong with you. He wants to meet you right where you are! This book covers a whole lot more on the topic of confidence and faith, etc... and really is a must read for all woman. this isn't just one of those books you should read, its one you must read! She offers us a freedom that God is speaking to us and spells it out for us! Everyone must read this book!!

The Colonel's Lady

The Colonel's Lady, by Laura Frantz. In this novel we meet Roxanna Rowan, travelling to reach Kentucky fort, to reunite with her father. Upon arriving at the fort Roxanna is stunned to discover that her father had been killed. With out any way to leave or any money support herself on she is forced to stay at the fort. Continuing her father's job as Colonel Mclinn's scrivener, she may just learn the truth of her father's death and the power of love and forgiveness.
     Now, I'm in a pickle with this book lol. I dislike romance novels, even novels that are well written romance novels. This is definately a romance novel, but Laura Frantz has such a strong talent for writing that she draws you into her story. You feel the emotions, you feel like you are with Roxanna the entire time. So while I'm not a fan of the romance aspect of the novel, I have to say I am a huge fan of how talented of a writer Laura Frantz is! I liked the book despite my personal tastes! this is definately one of those books I'll be passing around to my friends to read!!

Rumors of God

Rumors of God,  by Darren Whitehead and Jon Tyson. We so often hear about the promises of God, the things He does for His people. But why is it that we feel like its not happening to us? Why does it seem to be for everyone else but us? In this book Pastors Darren and Jon, take on our questioning and show us stories of God still doing as he promises today! We see each chapter dismiss a "rumor" that we believe about God and what he does/doesn't do today. I really liked this book! I really thought it was an awesome read! I find so many times people are so caught up in the legalism of Christianity that they stop looking for the relationship. When the relationship is the real deal and legalism is just another tactic to derail us! Any book that looks at the myths and dispells them is a great book in my opinion. I loved this book and will be donating it to my church library so that many more can enjoy it as well! This is one book you don't want to miss out on.
