The River

By : Michael Neale

I must admit there were many reasons why I wanted to read this book.  After listening to a series of messages about the book @ Christ Fellowship [link is below] when the book was first released.  Also Michael Neale wrote the song "His Great Name" sung by Natalie Grant  and which later  went on to win "A Dove Award".

Once  the reader begins this book it will not be long before they find themselves captivated by "The River."  It's not long before  the reader finds themselves captured by awe, wonder, and anticipation.   "The River" does indeed have a voice.  It is essential to listen, to know, and to share the story of "The River" with others.    A great Christmas gift to Yourself or to a friend.

Building Stonger Families

Building Family Ties with Faith, Love & Laughter
Dave Stone

"Our day to day attitudes with our families grow out of an internal relationship with Jesus, not the external circumstances of life.  The dynamics of a family are much different today then it was 10 years ago. BEWARE: This book is designed for those who want to have Stronger families.  We live in a world where technology is supposed to make our lives simplier but instead it has impacted "THE FAMILY " in such a way to what it is becoming more and more Instinct.

This book addresses the very issues that have attacked "Family Life" as we know it today and how to Counter it.  One of the ways is to have a Mission statement.  "You can't get to where you want to be until you know where you want to go."  Having A Family Mission Statement is actually more crucial than you may realize.  "If you chase two rabbits, both will escape." -- John C Maxwell

The best part of having a Mission statement is having a Blue Print to check it with .  This will let you know the strength and weak areas.  I even came up with a Family Mission Statement which is :

"As for me and my house we will serve the LORD.  We were created by God for God."

The good thing is the book came out just in time and when you have a Family Strong You have  A Family that is closer to one another and above all that is closer to God

Heaven in Her Arms

Why God Chose Mary to Raise His Son and What it Means for You
BY:  Catherine Hickem

This book is written in such a way that it can't help but  bring all Mothers and Ladies closer to God.  I must admit one of the very first things I learned is how much Mary is focused on at Christmas time but what about the rest of the Year.  Before One can die they must first be born.  "God wanted His Son, the King of kings, to come from a humble woman so that the entire world could relate."

Ladies, we have a Heavenly Father who loves us so much that He actually restrains Himself on Our Behalfs.  A good example is the Birth Of Jesus .  The timing had to be Perfect and God knew who He wanted to Carry Jesus.  God is very detailed after all He is a God of Perfection.
He has chosen everyone's hair, eyes, color of skin, knit us together in our Mothers womb [ Psalm 139] and chose our birth year.

Ladies it is God who Qualifies each and every one of us.  This book is written in such a way that brings the reader to a closer intimate relationship with Her Heavenly Father.  But the Author takes it one Step further in the reader's Spiritual Journey by adding a Study Guide at the very end.

"Show me a woman who keeps her focus on Christ the Mary did on her God, and I will show you someone who has 20/20 spiritual vision.  This type of sight enabled Mary to maintain passion for her faith, purpose for her life, and a heart for her God.  We see Mary giving God her life to do with as He desires."  "It is an amazing moment when women realize they do not have to live under the limitations of their past or their heritage." 

Needless to say  the book came just in time For Mother's day.  Don't wait for someone to buy You the book. Go ahead Ladies pamper yourself  by purchaisng this book after all you'r worth it.  There really is only one you.   Aww the Wealth of Knowledge, Wisdom that is found with in the pages of this book.

Great Day/ Every Day

Navigating Life's Challenges with Promise and Purpose

Max Lucado is by far one of the gifted authors of all times.  He has a uncanny knack of telling a story and painting it in such a way to where the reader feels like he is having a one on one conversation with the Author over a Cup of Coffee. 

One of my favorite quotes by Max Lucado is: "Saturate your day in JESUS' grace.  Entrust your day to His oversight.  Accept His direction. It's the only prescription to fill your day with God-given purpose."   This book gives the reader a foundational blueprint on how a person can Navigate through Life's Challenges and actually be Overcomer.

  The book is strategically laid out to build a stronger foundation.  It is actually divided into 3 sections.  The first Section is the book itself.  The Second part of the book makes it a Great Small group.  The Third Part of the book is a 30 day devotional.  This book is written with the intent to help every Christ Follower grow in their daily walk.  This book helps the reader to stay focused on God and the advancement of His Kingdom.  Along with strengthens our Attitude. 


This makes a great gift for Birthdays, and  Graduation.

The Year is 2012

The Year is 2012 where Majority of the People live in Microwave Mentality The More technology the better>can't go fast enough, Yet God still speaks to His Sons/Daughters but there is a Key to Hear God God's Child must first position Him/Herself



It requires slowing down spending time with God learning His Precious Voice. Waiting and Listening to His Voice plays Such a Key Role. In fact it is so crucial that it impacts everything and overflows in all areas not to mention A Person's Destiny God wants to Write the Story but His Child must first Let Him and be willing to follow . Jesus Said "Come Follow Me and I will Make You Fishers of Men."


I know in my Car I have a Ceramic fish that only has 1 fin the other is broken to remind me no matter what it is once taken to God He can Use it and turn it into a beautiful Masterpiece. Remember before there was anything There was God. God was, God is, and God Will Always be God
