REVIEW: The Anniversary Waltz by Darrel Nelson

First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Darrel Nelson and his publisher for sending me a copy of "The Anniversary Waltz" 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.
“The Anniversary Waltz” by Darrel Nelson is a heartwarming story of marriage, romantic love and life.  It is an encouraging fiction read for romantics of all ages derived from a wonderful male perspective a la Nicholas Sparks.  It brought back memories of my own grandparents and great-grandparents as Adam and Elizabeth’s love story is told on their 60th wedding anniversary, whose lifetime of love began with a dance.  Following the dance on this auspicious occasion, which is re-enacted as it happened the first time they danced, the family gathers to hear Adam and Elizabeth tell their love story, an anniversary tradition and a beautiful gift to their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and each other.

This story brings hope in the possibility of life-long commitments.  The short chapters keep the pace fast as 60-plus years unfold through the pages.  “The Anniversary Waltz” is an engaging read that touches the heart and ignites the desire for simpler times.  I will be keeping my eyes on this author.

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 while, now.   And I would like to share wit
