Sunrise by Susan May Warren

 

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Susan May Warren and her publisher for sending me a copy of "Sunrise" 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.

I just finished reading “Sunrise” by Susan May Warren.  It is the first installment in her brand new Sky King Ranch series.  Susie took me to Alaska in these pages for an adventure that had me crying out for the next book as I closed the back cover!  This book has everything: hockey and poachers and bears, oh my!

Sky King Ranch was Dodge Kingston’s home growing up.  He had it all: youth, a plan for the future and a great girl.  But one event changed everything and set Dodge’s life on a different course.  Ten years later, he reluctantly returns to his childhood home to find lots of changes.  And things he thought were changed, like his feelings for the girl he left behind, not so much.

Echo Yazzie wants Dodge’s forgiveness for her part in the family blow-up that sent Dodge away.  And when a woman goes missing and these childhood best friends team up to find her, opportunities to forgive – and experience new challenges – present themselves.

This book is action-packed and suspenseful and sprinkled with valuable life lessons and a little romance.  I haven’t read fiction in a while, and this was a great book with which to break that fast!  My only complaint is that I have to wait for book two!

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). ...

Armor of God – Week Five – The Shield of Faith

I must admit that this listening sheet has notes written in every corner and margin.   I was starving for a lesson of faith, apparently.   This is some of what I learned from Video #5: ·          Faith is acting like God is telling the truth. ·          Active faith is a shield. ·          Faith is not foolishness.   It may look like it to the world, though. ·          Whatever God has called me to, He will carry me through. ·          God’s call will sound irrational because His thoughts are not ours. ·          When the dots don’t connect, but we do His bidding anyway, that’s faith! ·          God is sustaining universes not yet discovered! ·     ...
