Blessed are the poor in spirit...

A Placed Called Blessing by Trent is one of those books that you hear people say, "I could not put it down, I was hooked after the first page." And it is absolutely true! I am not a huge reader so even being involved in a blogging for books type of club is almost unheard of for me. It is a book like A Place Called Blessing that makes reading the ho-hum type books worth every word. I had read an article by Trent a couple of months ago also entitled The Blessing. It's message in line with this book by Trent encourages parents to adopt a blessing over each of their children in order for them to hear the words of blessing from the Word. I assumed that this book would be the same but I was so wrong. The Blessing is a book that paints the picture of why it is so important for parents to love their children enough to take time out to speak blessings over their lives. I believe this is one of the best books I have ever read!

I always tell my children how blessed they are to have so many incredible resources at their fingertips to help them achieve the life that God desires for them. After almost 40 years of marriage I can say that Love & Respect by Dr. Eggerichs is a book that I would have loved to read in my early years of marriage. I can attest that there are no other two elements to a marriage then a husband loving his wife and a wife respecting her husband. This book is a must read for any newlywed couple, any couple who might be experiencing difficulty or just wanting to recharge their understanding of one another. After reading this book I would recommend it to anyone who is married, thinking of getting married or like me, have children who are in the early years of marriage! I give it 4 stars!

Transformed by the Renewing of Your Mind

I honestly requested this book from Booksneeze to review because I had a friend who lived in a rural area for many years and had a tough time finding a good church to plug into. After reading this book I am convinced that the church in rural America is missing a key element to their ministry and that is relevency. O'Dell does an amazing job encouraging his readers - who will hopefully have an impact on the rural community at some point in their own ministries - to get the relevency of the 21st century to the rural communities of our nation. There is a harvest and a mission field right outside our front doors whether we live in rural America or suburban America and I believe this book can address the aspect of what leaders in either area can do for their congregants. The book encouraged me to find ways to become relevent to the people I serve in my own church. I recommend this book to anyone who serves in any church and especially to anyone who is considering planting a church in the country. (I received this book for review from Thomas Nelson Publisher's Booksneeze program.I was not asked to write a positive review)

Book for Quiet Time with Grandchildren

I have three young grandsons whom I have the priviledge of spending time with. I have loved using Jesus Calling by Sarah Young as a launch to talk about the Lord with them. Each day a new passage is written and full of the Word to speak over their lives. The devotions are easy to read and are sensible even for younger children. It is also appealing to the eye which can be very important to children. I would recommend this devotional for any young family with children or grandchildren. I received this book from Booksneeze to review in their blogging program. I was not expected to give a positive review.
