Here is my review of this encouraging book:

First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Creflo Dollar and his publisher for sending me a copy of "Winning in Troubled Times" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.

Every time I have a conversation with my cousin, she tells me how much she likes Creflo Dollar. So, when the opportunity presented itself for me to be able to review this book, I had to jump at the chance. After receiving such his praise from my cousin, I had to experience the man’s teaching for myself.

What I found within the pages of “Winning In Troubled Times: God’s Solutions For Victory Over Life’s Toughest Challenges” by Dr. Creflo Dollar was more than a mouthful of title. This book was filled with encouragement on a variety of topics such as finances and debt, relationships, emotions and addictions. Step-by-step techniques to overcome various trials were included – these pointers back to God and faith would be a good place to begin for those who are overwhelmed by their situation and unclear on what to do next. There is an abundance of good advice and the writing flows with terrific humor. This is an encouraging, informative and educational resource.

I’m glad my cousin recommended Creflo Dollar to me. I will certainly be recommending him to others.

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). ...
