Book Review: Abba Calling

This book is a collection of personal conversation between God and a man.  A devotional diary where God speaks and the man listens.  Each day things that are common to man, are addressed by a loving Father God.  Fear, loneliness, weariness, feelings of unworthiness, feelings of having it all under control,  joy in following after God's plan; all are addressed in a manner of unconditional love of the Father (Abba). 

Some may view it as too soft, may not even think that God speaks in this way; but I'm not one of them.  Any person willing to open their heart to this side of God's nature; the Father side, can benefit.    Those with a way of thinking, of God being all judgement; will probably struggle with this.  That would be too bad; because there are words of encouragement, correction and acceptance that you can draw on, as you do your own personal study in the Bible.  

My review is based on the FREE ebook that was given  to me by Destiny Image in exchange for an honest review. 

Review: Angels, Miracles and Heavenly Encounters

In one single book; there are many stories of God's caring and intervention in the lives of  many different people; in different situations. True stories of  God's love, comfort, protection, provision and help offered in ways that defy the natural mind.  That's what the supernatural usually does defies the natural mind.

I found this book to be not only easy to read but encouraging as well.  I recommend it to anyone who is a believer but also to those who are searching for God.  They could find themselves having experienced the goodness of God in similar situations; without realizing it was God reaching out to them.   Some may not think that some of the stories are possible; but I hope that they realize; many  are Biblical experiences; old time miracles being performed in modern days.  You either believe or you don't.

Book Review: One Big Thing

Finding your purpose is exactly what the author writes about.  Focus, and focusing on that one big thing that makes you stand out is a large part of what Phil Cooke talks about.  Distractions to your focus is another main problem that will come against you in your search; a choice of some many good things fighting for your attention against the best. Even the changes in technology; the additions of so many ways of communicating can actually make it harder to be heard.
The world is looking for the extraordinary; not just good in several different things.  These are several other challenges addressed.

I found many of the quotes that Phil used in this book to be very good and his description of his wife as the "typical creative person" was not only funny but I could see myself in it.  This is the second book that I've read by this author; in fact that's why I chose this particular book when I was given the chance.  That said, I found some of the material a bit dry and some of the information repetitive.  Was it worth the read?  Yes. As I kept going, I found the 4 questions that he asked very insightful in narrowing your focus.  Even though it wasn't exactly what I had hoped for, I didn't come away empty handed as other small "gems" were uncovered.  I believe others who read it will have the opportunity to re-balance; re-focus, start again or be encouraged to continue.

Spring of Life Church- prophetic Word from God

The Lord spoke a prophetic word over our church Thurs. night at prayer. He told us we are rising up from the ashes, breakthru is coming. A new body is bursting forth from these ashes, new eyesight, new ears to hear what the spirit of God is saying. We have been dimmed because of disappointment but we are rising up from the ashes. When we are not self centered in our prayers is when the blessings will begin to pour breakthru is coming. As God said in the word given for 2012 I am doing a new thing do you not precieve it. Id say the new thing is about to break out, stay unified and in your posts and watch God pour like rain.
