First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Dr. Phil Barfoot and the other ministers who penned offerings for this book and their publisher for sending me a copy of "New Every Morning" 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. “New Every Morning” by Phil Barfoot and over 100 contributors is an engaging devotional.   As a choir member, I love the choir-related stories that teach me about the unity of the body of Christ.   To be honest, I thought this would be a “fluff” devotional, but this book is like boot camp!   The teaching each day prepares me for spiritual battle, challenges me to walk my talk and encourages me to keep going when I’m almost out of steam! I will be buying this devotional for all the loved ones on my Christmas gift list this year! New Every Morning is a beautiful devotional book written by Dr. Phil Barfoot an...

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Jonathan Gibson and Joe Hox and his publisher for sending me a copy of "The Moon Is Always Round" 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 Moon is Always Round”, written by Jonathan Gibson and illustrated by Joe Hox, is a beautiful tribute to a stillborn daughter that teaches children (and adults alike) that God is always good, regardless of circumstances.   The words are easy to understand.   The theology is huge!   The drawings are colorful and engaging. This is a wonderful book that brought tears to my eyes and filled me with hope and compassion for the author and his family.   The message that God is always good is something we all need to remember….especially in the tough times.   My only issue with the book is how it reads in .pdf format.   This should really be read ...

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Zig Ziglar and his publisher for sending me a copy of "Top Performance: How to Develop Excellence in Yourself and Others" 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. My biggest takeaway from “ Top Performance: How to Develop Excellence in Yourself and Others” by Zig Ziglar is “attitude is critical to success”.   A good attitude is a benefit everywhere.  It can help you fight disease, get a promotion, heal a relationship and so much more.  Regardless of your position in the workplace, school, home or any other area of your life, Ziglar’s philosophy promotes and encourages a good attitude. Everyone is a leader in one way or another.   Whether you recognize that you are a leader already or not, your attitude has the power to encourage or discourage.   From my personal experience, those wi...

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Micah Berteau and his publisher for sending me a copy of "Love Changes Everything: Finding What’s Real in a World Full of Fake" 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. “Love Changes Everything: Finding What’s Real in a World Full of Fake” by Micah Berteau is an inspiring read.   Honestly, the title almost says it all.   Not only does this book identify and point you toward real love – not what the world says “love” is, but what the Creator of love intended it to be.   It also challenges how you love!   And how you live loved!   This is one of the best books I’ve read so far this year.
