SHAKEN

Life is not always smooth and steady. Sometimes the winds of adversity blow. Sometimes the waves of opposition roar. And sometimes the boat of our belief can be rocked to the core. In those times, we must remain grounded in truth and know that our identity is not found in the "smoothness" of life. It is found in trusting ourselves to an unshaken, unshakable God. That's the message of Tim Tebow in his new book "Shaken."  I heartily recommend this book to everyone!

Chase The Lion

WOW! I love Mark Batterson and I love his books. In the sequel to "In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day," this book, "Chase The Lion," is a powerful tool of motivation and inspiration. Each chapter is like an espresso for the soul. 

If you need fresh inspiration to dream big, act bold, and chase YOUR lion, this book is just what you need! 

Broken down into short chapters, I love the format, the content, and effect. 

I am now a Lion Chaser!

BE LIGHT by Samuel Rodriguez

Reverend Samuel Rodriguez is a powerfully anointed man of God. He preaches with a passion and zeal that is unparalleled. I have read several of his books, most recently, "The Lamb's Agenda." It is powerful. 

But THIS book - "BE LIGHT" - is in a league all its own. Broken into shorter, more easily digestible chapters, BE LIGHT is a clarion call for the Church to rise up in this day and not just DECLARE, "Let there BE Light." 

It is a call for us to BE THE LIGHT that the LORD has DECLARED! I encourage you to pick up this book and consume it.

Be consumed with the LIGHT so you can go forth and...BE LIGHT!

UNQUALIFIED

What spiritual pedigree does a person have to have in order to work for God...be used for God...or be a divinely chosen instrument? What qualifications are necessary?

In his new book, Steven Furtick lets us know that you can be Unqualified for the role (in the world's eyes, in the devil's eyes, and in your own eyes for that matter), and still be used by God - because as the old saying goes: God does not call the qualified; He qualifies the called. 

Furtick's book is about understanding who YOU are based on who GOD is. You don't have to try to hide anything from Him - He knows all, sees all, and loves you in spite of it all.

And he has a purpose and plan for your life! So if you feel Unqualified, and yet the call and pull of destiny is yanking on your soul strings, read this book for motivation and inspiration toward stepping into your divine purpose.

The Heaven Promise

Is Heaven real? If so, what is Heaven like? What does it take to go there? These are just some of the questions that author Scot McKnight tackles in this fantastic volume, "The Heaven Promise." 

Like a surgeon with a theological scalpel, McKnight cuts through all of the "imaginative imaginations" to give sound, biblical, theological answers to the "heaven questions." 

This book came to me about a week after my grandmother had passed away. While I am firm in my beliefs and convictions about what the Bible says (and doesn't say) about Heaven, I believe that McKnight does a masterful job in outlining the truth about Heaven.

This is a volume worth buying, reading, studying, rereading, and sharing. There is life after death...and as the author says, "There is life after life after death." And "The Heaven Promise" tells you all about it.

I was given a copy of this book for free by the publisher for an honest review. 

Finding Your Way Back To God - DVD

This review is for the DVD that accompanies the book by Dave and Jon Ferguson. It is a tough review, because I have not read the book, which I am sure one should do. 

However, in watching the videos on this disc, the viewer is led systematically through the process (or the steps) of "finding your way back to God." This, of course, is what Christianity and the Great Commission is all about - helping people connect or reconnect (countless times) to God. 

The testimonials and commentary on this DVD are like laying brick upon brick in building a house of restoration for those who have seemingly drifted - or intentionally turned away - from God. 

You can absolutely find your way back to God - and this DVD study is a GREAT asset to help you along the way! 

I was given this DVD free of charge for an honest review.

Lazarus Awakening DVD Study Pack

Just as she has done it before...Joann Weaver has done it again! She has captured the heart-longing of every human being: To live life knowing you are loved by God. 

The book is outstanding, and the DVD Study Pack is a SUPERB addition to the book. I think it allows the reader/learner to absorb more fully the truths of Scripture shared in the book. 

The truth shared here is deep enough to not be called "shallow," but is simple enough to be comprehended easily and not be "over our heads." 

If you are looking for a resource to deepen the truth of God's love and your place with Him, do yourself a favor and get Lazarus Awakening!
