Who Is In Charge Anyway?, Hermie & Friends

This is a delightful dvd about Growing up with God. My children love the Hermie and Friends dvd's and this one is no different. Great story-line and graphics. I love the way that it presents the fact that we are all very special and unique in our abilities and talents. This show imparts the very key truth that we are all created for a reason.

Thank you booksneeze for this review copy.

A Love of Her Own, Maggie Brandan

A unique love story. I found this book a little difficult to get into at first because the main character, April, is generally not like-able. She is a very spoiled, me-centered, prideful, arrogant person. However, it does not take long to see the influence that Godly people can have on a life just by living next to them. No one preaches a sermon to April, but rather a cast of characters lives out Christ in their lives all around her. Eventually her heart is turned toward God - and she in turn has a life change. As a reader you are drawn into April's world and invited to experience a life transformation with her. This book shows what God can do with a person willing to bend under his touch as He transforms April into an other-centered, sacrificial giving, open hearted, tender, loving person and a woman of outstanding character and faith. In the midst of all this a love story unfolds between her and a man that would before never have been considered.

Stumbling Souls, Chris Plankenpol

Astounding account of walking on water, crossing the Stumbling Souls, Chris Plankenpol
Jordan faith in action! If a Christian can read this book without the soul being stirred to some action I would question if that one has not left his first love or even known him at all. Chris gives a powerful testimony of living in total abandonment and leadership of Christ. True faith in action and the power of God unleashed in the life of total surrender, absolutely life-changing and faith challenging.
This book follows the true story as told by Chris himself as he is moved by the spirit to take in a homeless man and minister to him. It is the powerful account of a good Samaritan of modern time and the life changing effects that happen. Absolutely a stunning story of God’s unfolding , life-changing power when he is given full authority of a believer. A true example of Jesus Others Yourself.
Thank you B&B Communication for this book to review.

Out of the Spin Cycle, Jen Hatmaker

Do you need a good laugh? A dose of mom humor when your well has run dry? If your like me it's nice to know your not alone in motherhood. I really enjoyed this book. Jen Hatmaker has the same take I do on mothering and the honesty to admit she's not perfect! As a Pastor's wife I have often had the added pressure of my husband's "title" to have "perfect" children. God has, however, given me a sense of humor. When one of my children peed on the tree on the front lawn of the church (my oldest boy who at the time was only two) I told those standing around with a smile and laugh that I was still working on converting him from his heathen ways. I could relate all too well (being a mother of 4) to most of her stories! This is an encouraging book for mother's in the all too short season of motherhood. Lighten up, enjoy, before too long they won't be around to be your entertainment!
