Book Review - A Time to Dance by Karen Kingsbury

A Book review. 

A Time to Dance by Karen Kingsbury

I received a complimentary copy of this book through Thomas Nielsons BookSneeze program.

A beautiful but heartbreaking love story. This book helps remind you that with God all things are possible. John and Abby married for almost 22 years have drifted apart to the point of divorce.

The love they had was dying behind fading faith, work and every day busy life that they let get between them. The battle that rages between Satan, personal thoughts, and God’s unwillingness to give up is so powerful.

I loved this book because it truly held marriage up in high esteem. 

This book did have a typical story line of love, fail, fairytale ending. But despite that I thought it was well done in getting the story of true forgiveness and God's faithfulness to his children across.

WOW!

I just finished reading "The Heart Mender" by Andy Andrews. This book was so captivating I didn't want to put it down! A book based on a true story set in our time and goes back to the time of World War II. A man discovers some artifacts buried in sand for half a century and discovers a story that you will want to read for youself.
The historical facts get you hooked for sure in the story. The blend of fact and fiction was fantastic!  This is a very intriguing story of acceptance, love and forgiveness that once you start it you won't be able to put it down either!


Book Description

A unique blend of historical fact and engaging fiction showing the power of forgiveness.

In 1942, German subs are dispatched to the Gulf of Mexico to sink U.S. vessels carrying goods and fuel. While taking a late-night walk, Helen Mason—widowed by war—discovers the near-lifeless body of a German sailor. Enraged at the site of Josef Landermann's uniform, Helen is prepared to leave him to die when an unusual phrase, faintly uttered, changes her mind.

In The Heart Mender, a small town must prepare itself for the worst the world has to offer, and Josef and Helen must reconcile their pasts to create a future.

Book Reveiw - Isaac Newton By Mitch Stokes

At first as I opened this book I thought I might have a very long dry read ahead of me, but I was acctualy surprised at the amount of information about Isaac Newton I did not know about!
Newton was a was an amazing scientist but also seemed to have a great faith and trust in God. He was truly given a great gift. I don't understand many things about science but this book was very insightfull. You see that Isaac Newton isn't just the guy who had an apple fall on his head that you hear about in school! He was a world famous scientist, mathematician, astronomer and through Newton's life he has changed the world and still continues to have an effect even long after his death.
In his own words, “To celebrate God for his eternity, immensity, omnisciency and omnipotence is indeed very pious and the duty of every creature…”
I am challenged and inspired in just reading the story of how God used this man.
So if you ever get a chance to pick up this book and read it! I would recommend this book to you!

Book Review: From Clutter to Clarity

Not long ago Nancy Twigg emailed me and asked me if I would be willing
to review her new book out!



From Clutter to Clarity: Simplifying Life from the Inside Out

By: Nancy Twigg

This book is amazing and it hits the heart of the problem of clutter right on the head!

She talks about how the secret to clarity -spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial- is more than just cleaning out closets, drawers, and boxes of receipts!

It is an internal disease, a heart issue! And to conquer the issue of clutter we need to get rid of the clutter in our heart.



She says to think of your life as Clarity 101 with Hebrews 12:1-2 as your required reading. :-)

Throw off what Hinders you:

1: Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Focus on Jesus:

2: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.




Being content clarifies life by keeping us focused on reality! Not on the inevitable what'if's and if-only's!





There are SO many quotes in this book that I love!
So here's a few to ponder!


"A new definition of clutter: anything that complicates your life and prevents you from living in peace as you live our your purpose."


"Clutter does more than affect us physical and emotionally; it also affects us spiritually because it keeps up from following Jesus fully."


"Even noble pursuits become clutter when they endanger our sanity and leave us with no time to connect with God."

"A fine line exists between need and excess. That line is called enough."


I was very impressed with this book. She touches so many issues in dealing with the heart of the matter.

You can get your own book by going to Nancy's website and ordering it there!

Enjoy!!! Share
