In Unashamed to
Bear His Name, R.T. Kendall explored the stigmas that come with serving
Christ. R.T. Kendall was humiliated and picked on in his childhood because he
attended church. He remembered the pain that he had to endure. When he got
older, he encountered the people who peer pressured him and he saw how their
lives turned out. He now gladly accepts the stigmas that come with following
Christ. The book contains Bible stories from Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Leah
and Rachel, David, and many more people in the Old Testament. They had to deal
with the persecution of being rejected and made fun of for what they believed
in. This book will lead you to not be ashamed of the Gospel and being a
Christian.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is afraid of
standing up for what they believe in. If you’re ashamed to tolerate the stigmas
of following Jesus then this book will assist you into overcoming them. I
realized the world will not always get the reason we believe in God and his
word. Some people just don’t understand what they haven’t witnessed. Being a
Christian might cause some to reject what God has appointed and approved but it’s
worth the risk and price. R.T. Kendall
did a great job covering all the types of stigmas that Christians will have to
experience in their lifetimes. Even though the road will not be easy we have to
be unashamed of being a Christ follower.

In Reversing Diabetes, Don Colbert revealed the epidemic
concerning the growing number of patients diagnosed with diabetes. He shared
the following statistics from the 2011 CDC report, “nearly twenty-six million
people have diabetes, or 8.3 percent of the US population” (Page 11). Diabetes has
increased rapidly because of the chemicals that are being produced in our foods.
Another reason is our society is becoming inactive and not doing any activities
that promote good health. The book will teach readers what kinds of foods are
healthy and what foods that they will need to avoid. He discussed the hidden
contributors that lead to obesity and diabetes. The book also contains a meal
plan to guide readers in reducing their waist size. Reducing your waist size
lowers your chance of getting diabetes and it helps to control diabetes if you
already have it.
I don’t have diabetes but it runs in my family blood
line. I learned a great deal of information about taking steps to prevent
getting diabetes. I would recommend this book to everyone because it is an extremely
important topic that we all have to stand up against. Diabetes can happen to
anyone and the book helped me to see the effects and dangers of consuming all
the wrong types of foods. The book suggested starting to drink green tea
because it assisted in relieving stress levels and scorching fat! “The EGCG in
green tea increases the metabolic rate for as long as twenty-four hours and stimulates
the body to burn fat” (Page 121). It also helps decrease your risk of getting diabetes
and some cancers! I took the book’s advice and have started drinking a few cups
a day. I am also started eating healthier foods and working out four days a
week. This book is a wonderful guide in becoming healthy and living a long
life!

In Spirit Wars, Kris Vallotton wrote an awesome book on
the spiritual world and how to stand against the demonic forces that are
attacking us. Kris has experienced firsthand attacks from Satan and his demonic
forces. He has suffered from panic attacks and depression. He became free! Vallotton
discovered Nehemiah teaches believers the ways Satan attacks believers.
Nehemiah was trying to rebuild the walls and gates around Jerusalem. Sanballat criticized
Nehemiah by trying to stop him from rebuilding the walls. The devil is still
present in today times and he is trying to stop believers from fulfilling the
call of God on their lives. The devil makes us doubt our gifts and talents, he
likes us to throw questions into our minds, he makes us lose our Faith in God,
and so much more. Readers will learn about the armor of God and how to stand
strong. The book contains chapters on “How to Cast out Demons” and “Generational
Curses”.
The book was very eye opening and it was the best book
that I have read on understanding the devils schemes. I have realized the
importance of standing on the truth of God’s word. I have struggled with the spirit
of depression and it was very comforting that Kris Vallotton came through his
attacks. He also shared a story that many students entered College with
feelings of anxiety. He noticed that they were getting closer to God’s purpose
in their life and the enemy was trying to get them to remain in bondage. I have
experienced the attack of fear and loss of sleep when I entered College. I
connected with this story and saw what the enemy was trying to accomplish. I
would recommend this wonderful book to everyone because we need to understand
that we are in a fight. Satan is throwing conflicts right in front of our very lives.
This book will encourage readers to stand strong in the last days and it will
help you to know what you aren’t alone. The enemy is attacking us but we must
stand on the truth of God’s word. If you’re struggling with spirits of
depression, fear, addictions, and many other kinds of attacks just remember
that they are from Satan. I gained a lot of knowledge from this book and I
believe it will help you too!

How To Find God's Love, Don
Nori Sr explored the depths and truths of God's endless love for you. Don Nori
Sr was lonely and he felt that his life didn't matter. He didn't know how
people would remember him. But God revealed his deep love for him. The book has
tons of scripture to back up and support the truth of God's love. He included
stories from others about how God turned their life around. He became a friend
to the lonely, he set someone free from chasing after money and fame, and he
set someone free from drugs and having sex to obtain someone's love. Every
chapter included a powerful prayer to pray to our Father!
I would strongly recommend
this book on God's everlasting love to everyone! It was a great reminder that
God is more than able to change someone's life. Real joy and love comes from
God. I found out that it is important to believe the life changing Gospel for
myself. There is incredible power in the name of Jesus! God is always ready to
forgive us for our sins all we have to do is ask! He will be a friend who is
standing right by us always! Praise God! If someone is desperately seeking for
love and wants to find freedom, read this book on God's unfailing love! It
makes a wonderful tool for helping lost souls to come to know God!! This book
will lead millions to salvation and people will find Christ!!

In Healing Your Church Hurt, Stephen Mansfield revealed
the importance of forgiveness and letting your church hurts go. Most of us who
have attended church have experienced some kind of offense from other
Christians. The offense turns into strive and bitterness and some of us refuse
to let it go. Holding on to anger doesn’t ever solve the issues in our souls.
It doesn’t hurt the other person it only enslaves you. Mansfield shared a dream
about his offenders standing in front of him begging for forgiveness. But he
realized that he isn’t God and he isn’t the judge. He encouraged readers to let
the people who hurt us out of the cages we have put them in. We can only be
truly free when we choose to let the hurts go!
I would recommend this helpful book to anyone who has
been hurt by a church. I have been wounded by a church and I have held onto it
for many years. I made a decision to finally release my offenses that have captivated
me. I can’t tell you how much freedom came when I let unforgiveness go! This
book brought much needed healing to my soul. I even went back to the church I
was hurt at to hear one of my cousins preach his first sermon. Before I can
tell you that I wouldn’t have done that. I would have still held on to the
hurts and let them control me. I even hugged some of the people that I had
bitterness in my heart for. But I felt the chains of the past starting to fall!
Then the next week we received a phone call and someone that I saw at church
got into a car wreck and died. If I wouldn’t have forgiven the members of that
church I wouldn’t have attend the service that Sunday to see this person one
last time. This person wasn’t someone that hurt me but normally, I wouldn’t
have even gone to that church. Everything happens at just the right time! Life
is way too short to hold on to offenses that are only destroying you! Forgive
and let it go!!! This book will assist you through the process of healing your church hurt!!

Babbie Mason has written a wonderful 21 days devotional
to help readers to receive God’s love for them. Embraced by God has helped me
to meditate on the powerful promises of God. I have realized that I am God’s
favorite and that he loves me unconditional. When I sin, God still gives me
mercy and forgiveness. The book reinstated that God has an awesome plan for my
life and a destiny that I must step into. The book immensely helped me to
accept God’s love and that I must share his unfailing love with others. I especially
benefited when Babbie would tell readers to personally scripture. For example, “For
God so loved Andrew, that he gave his only begotton Son, that [if] Andrew
believeth in him, Andrew should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John
3:16. I would recommend this book to everyone because so many of us don’t even
understand the full love of Christ. We must first receive His love then give it
freely to others! Imagine what would happen if the whole world believed God truly
loved them. Many Christians don’t even know God’s unconditional love and they
are without their love from the world. We tend to perceive God’s love like man’s
love. Man is only conditional and that kind of love will always fail. But God
has the healing power to change many lives with a huge sacrifice of love. If
you are insecure and you don’t know who you are in Christ then you need to read
this book. It has changed my life and increased my joy. I now wake up with a
purpose to be a blessing and serve others. Trying to fit in with the world won’t
fulfill the longing in your soul. I know I have tried it and it doesn’t work! God’s
true love will assist you to accomplish your dreams and to help others along
the way! The devil will try to stop you by causing problems to arise but God’s
love covers and protects you always. His love for you will never ever change!
This book will change your life! When I finished the book, I finally believed
in God’s everlasting love for me! If you need some encourage in your life then
read this life enhancing devotional!
