Stephenie Zamora-

Moving forward towards your goals is all about creating priorities... no more than 2 - 3 main goals or life areas to focus on at a time. Dedicate yourself FULLY to these areas and let anything that isn't relevant or moving your forward fall to the side where you can.

I'm looking at health/fitness (always a top priority for me), creating deeper connections through authenticity and living my soul's purpose right now. What are yours?

Where are you "Living"?

As you consistently perceive yourself living in heavenly places, 

your natural circumstances will start to change 

and come into line with that spiritual reality.  


 Don't give up
 because of what you see. 

God is faithful!

Live Long, Finish Strong: The Divine Secret to Living Healthy, Happy, and Healed by Gloria Copeland

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Awesome book. Well written with good scripture references; lots of them.
Its going right into my Personal Library or in other words A Keeper! Will everyone agree with what she has written? Probally not. When has that ever happened where people agree right away on anything? It's a subject worthy of study instead of just accepting that we can only expect a promised 80 years. But that doesn't matter- she's got some good truths out there; its up to people who read it to decide for themselves. Just to let you know- a friend loaned me her copy first of this book; and when I knew I had to return it to her; I just HAD to have my own copy!

BOOK REVIEW: Stealing the Preacher

Stealing the Preacher

A man on his way to possibly become pastor of his first church (Crockett Archer) and a man ( Silas Robbins) who doesn't mind breaking the law to fulfill his daughter's birthday wish of a preacher. Add Joanna Robbins (the daughter of the outlaw) into the mix.  And watch the  lives of all these people  collide together; as Silas forces the preacher off the train, and drags him to present to his daughter.   There's no way this is going to end well, is there?  There's no way that God could be in this? Or is there?

Unique story line; with interesting, spunky characters; made this book a fun, quick, charming read.  I had also read The Straw Bride; which was my first journey into the story about the Archer boys.   I loved that book and really liked this one. Having read the first one; it also gave me some information on what the "boys" went through raising themselves.  I can honestly say though, that this book can stand on its own; its not absolutely necessary to have read any of the others.


I received a free copy of this novel from Bethany House Publishers as part of their book review program, and I am under no obligation to write a positive review.

eBOOK REVIEW: The 12 Gemstones of Revelation

   

A study of the different gemstones, as related to the tribes in the Bible and our growth in the Christian walk It ranges from our initial acceptance of Jesus as Savior and then goes from our being a novice to more mature believer.   There is also a section at the end of each Chapter called " Reflections on the Rock" (Jesus) and a prayer that can be prayed to help take us more into what has been learned; with the help of Holy Spirit.

I liked the book.  I also know that  many people reading it would not believe the personal stories of gemstones showing up that were told in the book (among other things).  That is totally up to the reader; but I found that even if you don't believe it; there is plenty more to the book to draw from.  Just the information on the the gemstones, their meanings and Hebrew meanings and how they are written of in Revelation was interesting enough.   I give the author applause because I know that when she wrote this book; she had to know that there were going to be people, Christian people, who would hate it and could see no use for it.  The woman has courage and I saw much humility and courage through the whole book.  Something important to be aware of?   She always pointed you right back to Jesus.   Even her ending statement did that:
"Until that time (Heaven)I know my job is to  grow and increase in the knowledge and love of my God.  It is my prayer that you will do the same".

I received this book FREE from Destiny Image Publishing for an honest review.

BOOK REVIEW: I've Got Your Back


Leadership from a totally different view.   Its presented in two parts; one as a story, a parable just like Jesus did as he taught his disciples.  The second from a more student style like we are more used to reading or being taught from.  Both have plenty of scripture and are well thought out and are easy to relate to.

I found this book refreshing to read and enjoyed every minute of it.  I have to admit I peeked ahead of time.  When I got the book I popped open the book at about page 33 just to kind of poke around and after just a few pages, I thought, "Oh this is good, I've got to go and read it from the beginning." So I went back to the beginning and read the story first.  I also liked the author's gracious statement that there is no wrong way to read this book; you can start with the story or the other part (that he called the theology); either way was fine.  I can't remember ever having an author ever saying that. This is a book that is not only easy to read but also easy to apply; if you so desire.  He gives you the tools, you do the work.   Oh, and one of the things that got my attention, when it came to choosing this book, was the cover.  I found the picture intriguing and the title, even more so.  I don't often get pulled in by a cover, but I am glad that I did this time because it didn't disappoint.
