Hello All I hope you are having a blessed day, today I will be doing another book review from http://www.tyndaleblognetwork.com/ I received a book called: Killing Us Softly Reborn in the Upside-Down Image of God By: Efrem Smith for free for my honest opinion.
Book Description
The Christian life is actually a kind of death. We die to ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus. Dying in Christ, however, is an opportunity—to experience the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit as we spread the Good News of a God who loves us enough to save us and remake us in his image.
Efrem Smith helps us see that Christian discipleship is a counterintuitive life. In a world turned upside down by sin, God carefully and lovingly strips us of worldly values and turns us right-side up as good citizens and ambassadors of his Kingdom.
My Opinion
First off let me say the book cover is so beautiful and the fill of the book fills really soft and smooth. The book is not to long so you can finish the book really fast. This book keep me entertained it was a really good read the book draws you in. This book is a must read to all Christians, The author does a great job explaining the scripture in a great way to make you want to continue to read.

I really enjoyed this book, this book is a book we all need especially in this day in age with all the things going on in the world and in our lives. We all go though tough times in our lives and its such a blessing to know that whatever we face the lord will get us through. I love how the author included stories from the bible on how people of the bible over came there tribulations and how we can over come them to and not to give up. The Author talks about seven steps to help you move from fear to faith and from indecision to action, when facing your trial.
1. Know your enemy.
2. Embrace your cause.
3. Smash fear in the mouth.
4. Shake off your doubts and doubters.
5. Prepare in order to receive a payoff.
6. Word Up! Read, study and declare the Word of God!

Hello All I hope you are having a blessed day, today I will be doing another book review from http://www.tyndaleblognetwork.com/ I received a book called: PrayerPoints: Praying God's Promises at Your Point of Need By: Ken Petersen for free for my honest opinion.
Book Description
Think about it . . . you feel more alive, whole, and centered when you’re firmly connected to God and anchored in his Word. You cling to him, give him your best moments, and talk with him nonstop. But then, there are times when you just don’t know how to sincerely express yourself through prayer. You’re at a loss for words, and a sense of helplessness takes hold of your heart.
God desperately wants to hear from you! PrayerPoints lets you take what you’re feeling right now, quickly connect your needs to God’s Word, and then pray through his promises as they relate to your specific need.
Don’t abandon your prayer life because you can’t find the right words to say. Let PrayerPoints guide your thoughts, direct you to the heart of Scripture, and move you to a place of wholehearted, all-out, amazing relationship with God.
My Review
When I first saw this book I was surprised it was so small but then I realized, its a good thing because it can fit in my purse and I can take it everywhere with me. I also noticed how beautiful the cover its leather or faux leather like material. I love that the front of the book has the scripture:
Psalm 145:18 ("The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.")
This book is a blessing I love the fact that you can tap into gods promises when you are at your point of need. For instance say you are feeling worried about a certain situation in your life, you can look in the book and find scriptures related to gods promises like: Philippians 4:6-7( "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying pray".) No matter what you are going through you can go and read the prayer points and meditate on gods promises, this is a must have book its a bless that everyone needs to carry with them daily.

Hello All I hope you are having a blessed day, today I will be doing another book review from http://www.tyndaleblognetwork.com/. I received a book called: For Devo for the Rest of Us, By: Vince Antonucci for free for my honest opinion.
Book Description
You are loved by a limitless God! Yet many of us don't live our everyday lives in that reality. The "rest of us" subconsciously believe half-truths about God and ourselves, sabotaging our lives in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. For the next forty days, spend time every day discovering what life can be like in light of God's love for you. Explore how God can meet your deepest yearnings, how your life can make a difference, and how important it is to connect with an active community of faith. For the next forty days, discover a God "for" the rest of us.
My Opinion About this book
This book is great for me to be honest because my new years resolution for 2016 is to have a closer relationship with God and this book will definitely help me and be one of my everyday reads. The book has a 40 days journey to faith which is awesome, I wish the book had more than 40 days but I think that you could read the book over and over if you like.
With so much stuff going on in the world some people tend to get depressed and worried about everyday life and the future. I think this book is a good way to help you to focus on God and to not worry and stress about today and the future. This book can have you focus on God more and your faith. Love this book it is a must have in your life, this is one to carry around with your bible.
