My Opinion

I really love the bible it has a really pretty design on the front and the inside of the bible has beautiful writing on the sides of the bible with beautiful font. I love the large margins in the bible that will allow you to write notes on the side which is really awesome. The only down fall is that the bible is really heavy, not sure if you want to carry that bible around a lot. I think it would be great to use at home instead of taking it to Sunday school or bible study.

Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family Book Review

Hello everyone I hope you are having a blessed day, today I am coming to you with a book review. The book is called: Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family Review By: Paul David Tripp, I received this book for free for my honest opinion from FlyByPromotions.

Book Description

What is your calling as a parent?

In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise up “good” children, it’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.

In this life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God’s plan for us as parents. Outlining fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God—grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.

Freed from the burden of trying to manufacture life-change in our children’s hearts, we can embrace a grand perspective of parenting overflowing with vision, purpose, and joy.

My Opinion

The Book is I think a book that all parents should read in addition to other parenting books. This book is made up of 14 Gospel Principles:

1. Calling - Nothing is more important in your life than being one of God's tools to form a human soul
2. Grace: God never calls you to a task without giving you what you need to do it. He never sends you without going with you.
3. Law: Your children need God's law, but you cannot ask the law to do what only grace can accomplish.
4. Inability: Recognizing what you are unable to do is essential to good parenting.
5. Identity: If you are not resting as a parent in your identity in Christ, you will look for identity in your children.
6. Process: You must be committed as a parent to long-view parenting because change is a process and not an event.
7. Lost: As a parent you're not dealing just with bad behavior, but a condition that causes bad behavior.
8. Authority: One of the foundational heart issues in the life of every child is authority. Teaching and modeling the protective beauty of authority is one of the foundations of good parenting.
9. Foolishness: The foolishness inside your children is more dangerous to them than the temptation outside of them. Only God's grace has the power to rescue fools.
10. Character: Not all of the wrong your children do is a direct rebellion to authority; much of the wrong is the result of a lack of character.
11. False Gods: You are parenting a worshiper, so it's important to remember that what rules your child's heart will control his behavior.
12. Control: The goal of parenting is not control of behavior, but rather heart and life change.
13. Rest: It is only rest in God's presence and grace that will make you a joyful and patient parent.
14. Mercy: No parent gives mercy better than one who is convinced that he desperately needs it himself.

These principles are some great principles to look into and really think about, some principle I like while some others not so much. I feel that I think some of these principles are needed for everyone in there, I definitely will be using these to see how they work in in my everyday life. Overall the book was okay but not my favorite.

He gave all the animals, and children, too, wonderful qualities and unique strengths. Children will giggle over the ridiculous scenarios presented, and they will come away with the knowledge that we all are loved and special.Format: Jacketed hardcover Page count: 32 Reading age: 4-7

My Thoughts

I read this book to my 5 year old and he really enjoyed it, when the book talked about the animals doing  different things for instance the pig playing the piano my son would say a pigs can't play a piano. He would say no about every animal which was hilarious. I love how the book taught you about animal as well as rhyming words. I love how the book shows how amazing God is by creating beautiful animals and children and how God have created these animals and children with awesome strengths that God has blessed them with. Really cute book and the author did a great job.

My Opinion

I really enjoyed  reading this book, I feel that that book will hit some area of everyone's life. For me I really enjoyed this section of the book, I wish I had this book almost 6 years ago when I had my son. This book would have came in handy the times I felt ashamed when I disciplined my son. But I am so happy that I have it now my son is still young and I can use what I learned in this book to help me.

I love in the book on page 140 there is a table that talks about Life-Giving Words For Parenting: There are Shame-Laden Words and Shame-Resilient Words, and example of Shame-laden words is (" You make me so angry!") instead use the Shame-Resilient Words which is (" I feel Angry that you...") This was a awesome book because sometimes as parents and really for me a first time parent sometimes we don't know the right things to say to our children. So this book really was something that has been a guide for me.

Wise Guys Review

Hello everyone I hope you are having a blessed day, today I am coming to you with a book review.The book is called: Wise Guys By: Kent Evans with Rob Suggs, I received this book for free for my honest opinion from FlyByPromotions.

Book Description

For guys, more than ever, it’s a confusing world. Your GPS doesn’t offer any maps showing how to get to the point of wisdom — and who likes asking for directions anyway?

But there are ways to get that guidance you need. The answers may be all around you, in the form of guys you already know. Wise guys. More experienced guys. Better-traveled guys. Could there be ways to tap into their invaluable knowledge without enduring dull lectures or taking pages of notes?

Kent Evans has surrounded himself with these wise guys. They have shown him all the back roads on the way to wisdom. With a great deal of humor and an endless supply of stories, he wants to show you how to gather life-enriching truth from the guys in your own circle.

About The Author

My Thoughts
This book is a OK read for the man of God, my husband liked how the book talks about getting wisdom from your wise older peers. My husband has heard a lot of things that was discussed in the book. With our church there are meeting where the men get together very frequently where the more wise church member can share there wisdom with the men of god. My husband liked how the book provides funny stories that were filled with very important information. My husband felt that the book was a great read for men who usually get to speck with wise church members.

Hello everyone I hope you are having a blessed day, today I am coming to you with a book review.The book is called: Bearing Witness Edited by Charles E. Moore and Timothy Keiderling , I received this book for free for my honest opinion from  FlyByPromotions and Plough Publishing House.

About Bearing Witness: Stories of Martyrdom and Costly Discipleship

From the stoning of Stephen in the first-century Jerusalem to Nigerian Christians persecuted by Boko Haram in 2015, these stirring accounts will inspire greater faithfulness to the way of Jesus, reminding believers what costly discipleship looks like in any age.  Bearing Witness brings together dozens of accounts from around the world of Christians who gave witness to their faith in the face of intense persecution, even if it costs them their lives.

 In selecting stories for this book, the editors focused on Anabaptist martyrs and others who suffered for their commitment to believer’s baptism and nonviolence.

My thoughts

There are a lot of scriptures in the bible that talks about different people in the bible that dealt with persecution and in there lives. And there is one that really stood out when I read this book, I think of the scripture John 16:33 (NKJV) These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation(persecution); but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

When you read the stories of these people all around there world and how they dealt with being persecuted because of there love of Jesus.  I feel like I've  have been persecuted as well even by my own family and to hear what these people have been through, what i have went through hasn't been anything. This book is a must read for all christian because it lets us know of some things we might face because we are a follower and lovers of Jesus.

NONE LIKE HIM: 10 WAYS GOD IS DIFFERENT FROM US (and why that’s a good thing)"GIVEAWAY" REVIEW

Hello everyone I hope you are having a blessed day,today I am coming to you with a book review.v The book is called: NONE LIKE HIM: 10 WAYS GOD IS DIFFERENT FROM US (and why that’s a good thing) By: Jill Wilkin , I received this book for free for my honest opinion from  FlyByPromotions. There is also a giveaway to receive this book please check it out below good luck.

About The Book

God is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign, infinite, and incomprehensible.

We're not.

And that's a good thing.

Our limitations are by design. We were never meant to be God. But at the root of every sin is our rebellious desire to possess attributes that belong to God alone.

Calling us to embrace our limits as a means of glorifying God's limitless power, Jen Wilkin invites us to celebrate the freedom that comes when we rest in letting God be God.



My Review

As a christian we try are hardest to be be like god and to have all the attributes that God has but we can not. We were born in to sin that is why Jesus died for us so that we can be saved by his grace, Jesus is interceding on the right had of his father for us . When I read about this book when it was presented to me, I knew it was something that I need to read because all of need to realize that we are made in his own image but there is know way that we can be like him because he is perfect he is sinless. I love that fact that the book talks about the 10 ways God is different from us. 

They are broken down from: God is INFINITE(He is the God of no limits),God is INCOMPREHENSIBLE (He is the God of infinite mercy), God is SELF-EXISTENT(He is the God of infinite creativity),God is SELF-SUFFICIENT (He is the God of infinite provision),God is ETERNAL(He is the God of infinite days),God is IMMUTABLE(He is the God of infinite sameness),God is OMNIPRESENT(He is the God of infinite place),God is OMNISCIENT(He is the God of infinite knowledge),God is OMNIPOTENT(He is the God of infinite power),God is SOVEREIGN(He is the God of infinite rule).

The authors lets us know that we can not be and will never be on the same level as God and that is a good thing. There is no comparison to god no matter how hard we try. What I love about the book is at the end of each chapter it includes:verses for meditation,questions for reflection and a prayer. We need to focus on worshiping God and not trying to compare ourselves to him, God designed us to be a certain way for a reason and we need to trust God for that.

My Thoughts

The book was a fast read I read it very quickly, and it is broken up into 8 different tools: Talking, Listening, Influencing, Connecting, Teaching, Encouraging, Correcting and Leading.  This book was well written and had some information that I knew and didn't know. All of the tools were very great tools but I had my favorites, I enjoyed  Tool #2 and My favorite listening tip was tip #1 ("Listening first will always help yo respond more wisely than if you have talked first") I totally agree a lot of situations can workout much better if everyone only listened.

Another tool I really liked was Tool #6, and it talked about a awesome encouraging  tip # 1, which was ( "Consistently pointing out positive behavior is a powerful way to transforms your child's habit") I definitely will be using this because I feel bad sometimes because I feel I don't bring up my children's positive behavior enough. I will be using this tool faithfully, I think my children will love it as well.
