How Can I Run A Tight Ship When I’m Surrounded By Loose Cannons by Kathi Macias



How Can I Run a Tight Ship When I'm Surrounded by Loose Cannons? Proverbs 31 Study for Yielding to the Master of the Seas just released by New Hope Publishers for multi-award winning author, Kathi Macias. Kathi is the recipient of the prestigious 2008 award from Advanced Writers and Speakers Association at the Golden Scrolls award banquet. This powerful new release is for all the women in the world who dread reading Proverbs 31 and wonder who on earth could ever live up to that woman? It will encourage women of all ages on how to grow in the progression of grace. It is filled with scriptural explanations and journaling pages. Readers will find the funny without the fluff! The gentle manner of Kathi's teaching and words will be like the the teaspoon of sugar that helps the medicine go down. God's Word is alive throughout the pages and the author's words entice readers to press forward and embrace the plan God has for her in the safe harbor of His love.


Here is my review of this wonderful book:

First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Kathi Macias and her publisher for sending me a copy of "How Can I Run A Tight Ship When I’m Surrounded By Loose Cannons" to review for them. I have always been grateful for this generosity, but haven’t been very consistent in taking the time to thank them in a public forum. I really appreciate your time, effort and expense in making a reviewer copy available to me.

I was completely smitten by the cover of Kathi Macias’ new book. Then I read the title and laughed out loud: “How Can I Run A Tight Ship When I’m Surrounded By Loose Cannons?” I knew that this was a book I absolutely had to read! I’ve studied Proverbs 31 several times through several different sources, but this book takes a new tack. The wind of the Bible fills the sails of this highly engaging read that will encourage and inspire the reader to achieve new heights in the pursuit to become the seemingly impossible Proverbs 31 woman!

Macias combines two things that consistently grab my attention: the Bible and the ocean. She blends them beautifully to bring this passage of scripture to life in new ways that ignite my imagination and inspire me to continue the pursuit to become this type of woman with the Lord’s help. This book is a must read for any lady who needs a little extra wind in her sails.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
