What is Happening to Me?: How to Defeat Your Unseen Enemy by Jeannie Ortega Law Book Review

In What is Happening to Me, Jeannie Ortega Law has written her first book about how to recognize and discern the unseen spiritual attack of the enemy and how he is trying to destroy us. She begins the book by sharing how she was born in the 80s and how her parents had been married for four years when she was born. They had an abortion before she was born and they also had one afterwards. She revealed how her parents thought she would be a boy. Her parents and family were superstitious and they believed that spirits were communicating to them that she was a boy. Her dad already had two girls and one boy from another marriage. She explored how the thief comes to steal and destroy and how he tried to take her life at the beginning. She opened up about how she was born and how her family background had some black magic and witchcraft. 

 

 

She also shared how she born with green eyes and how she was one of the few in her family that had this eye color. Envy was present throughout her childhood because of this. She opened up about rejection and how she felt alone growing up among her peers, judged by her relatives, conflict and fighting in her home, and how she felt like an outcast in general. She shared how she dealt with suicidal thoughts. She revealed how she later learned to replace the lies with the truth found in scriptures about who she was in Christ. She was raised Catholic and she shared how she later came to know Christ and was rebaptized. In the book, she also looked at her rise to fame as a teen and was a chart-topping R&B and hip-hop artist. She revealed what caused her to become a Christian artist. In the book, she also shared how she met her husband and the incredible way they met. 

 

 

I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is ready to grow in victory and they are ready to overcome the attacks of the enemy. I loved how open she was in sharing her life story about how the thief tried to knock her out before she born. I immensely was touched by how honest she was in revealing her parents had two abortions and how the enemy still tried to take her life. I was blown away about how story covered the topic of witchcraft, rejection, suicidal thoughts, abuse, demonic attacks, and much more. I connected with her story and the root of rejection that was in her life and how God assisted her along the way. I also remember hearing some of her R&B songs years ago and now she is a Christian recording artist and her songs cover how God has transformed her life. I liked how she included, “what do I see, what can I learn, and scriptures for meditation, prayer and declaration for each chapter. I truly believe if readers will follow along and use the principles found in this book, it will greatly help them break the strongholds of the enemy.

 

 

 

"I received this book free from the publisher, Bethany House/ Chosen for my honest review.”

Make Their Day: 101 Simple, Powerful Ways to Love Others Well by Karen Ehman Book Review

In Make Their Day, Karen Ehman has written a helpful book to assist readers in brainstorming up creative ideas to reach out and do something kind for someone else. In the book, she looked at how we can bless our friends, family, community, other counties or across the screen, people who are hurting, household of faith, holidays, and opening your own home. The book enclosed 101 examples and stories about how we can show the love of Christ to others and make a difference in their lives. Some of her ideas included a surprise coffee delivery, helping someone else with a chore that they are trying to finish, give God’s Word and encouragement, a book basket, honoring people who serve, prayers in a basket, co-workers snack section, couple ten-dollar date night, taking notes in your phone of special dates to bless our friends and family, giving away soup, top secret twelve days of Christmas, and much more. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is ready to get creative and become a blessing to others. I immensely loved how detailed she was in sharing how she has been able to surprisingly blessing others around her. One of my favorites was the topic of the twelve days of Christmas and how she and a few others was able to help a single divorced dad who was struggling with raising five children and he wanted to give them a normal Christmas. She came up with an idea to do a basket and they all filled with goodies each day and they were instructed to just place the basket outside. I loved this idea and how easy and helpful it could be to a person that might need cheered up. Another favorite suggestion, she gave was in paying attention to small details and take notes in our phones or important dates that matter to other people and to be a blessing to others such as a death of a love one. Maybe do something positive that day for them to show them that you care. Also, another thing we could do is remembering their favorite coffee or snack of choice. The main thing is just being creative and be open to always look for ways to be a blessing to someone else. I also liked how she enclosed a printable section that had recipes, scripture verses on tags, and fill in event suggestions.
