Title: Boker Tov, Visions and Dreams of a Pilgrim

A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Boker Tov, Visions and Dreams of a Pilgrim by Dennis C. Jones captures his life story from a shy 4-year-old attending Sunday school to a young Hippie crossing the Canadian border to find freedom and the meaning of life. Short vignettes and scripture encompass his book. He draws his inspiration from John Bunyan who wrote “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” Dennis C. Jones’ expressive writing style, the sweet sense of adventure and the candid, with some funny moments that led this “sojourner” to a “lit path” after Christ brings much hope to our “lost” generation. With colorful illustrations and paintings that relay to readers the visions that were shown to this young man on a quest to find himself (and avoid the draft), this is an inspiring read! Readers will be surprised by the visions, dreams, as God would not let him go. His hope in writing this book is to speak to other searching souls and lead them to eternity in Christ Jesus. 

Dennis grew up in the turbulent 60’s and 70’s. A time of the Vietnam War, and a time when the author had turned away from God after experiencing the death of his beloved brother and mother from cancer. Dennis tried to walk away from God, and was bent on never trusting God. He seeks out life in different forms, including partying, and other religions briefly. Hitchhiking across the Canadian border, over 2600 miles yields an adventure made for a movie, yet he keeps the focus on Christ’s work in his life and the amazing things God showed him.  If he had shared more on his life and later years, it would be a movie!

Wonderfully written with colored illustrations shed light of his journeys, adventures, dreams, and visions, alongside the sprinkling of Scripture that reflect the journey of man to his intended destination. 

A highly recommended read for encouragement, adventure, and the realization that we are created beings with eternity set in our hearts. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

The book was written in such a way that kept my attention as I could not put the book down. I was amazed at how God spoke to him, the vivid visions enhanced by the drawings of those visions. This is a book to remember – to give to others as well! 

Boker Tov! I absolutely loved this book! It was a pleasure to read and filled with scripture that had such deep meaning to life and glorified the work of Christ in our lives.  I will keep this for my personal library to reflect on and give to others.

By: Pastor K. Bruce Brown
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Wow, I Want What They Have: Sanctified Marriage: Heavens Above “For Better or Worse” written by Pastor K. Bruce Brown is a book that encompasses marriage, yet speaks of connecting to God as our Abba Father first. Offering great insight to those who would seek to come up higher in marriage, and all of their relationships! 

Pastor K. Bruce Brown presents a book that builds faith, reveals the spiritual realm, coining the phrase, “Earth Life Bias” (ELB), and offers readers instruction on how to build a solid foundation in Christ, while increasing in faith, love, joy, and peace as a citizen of Heaven. He welcomes all to the family of God while offering a new perspective approach to living the triumphant plan God has for your life here on Earth, marriage included.

As an overall theme, Pastor K. Bruce Brown presents an understanding of “postmodernism” that has turned the truth upside down. This is an important point. Stating that the world is at an “end time” high of tolerating ungodly behaviors; we must teach our children the Word of God and God’s ways. In case you had not noticed the state's desire to take your children. Therefore, the Pastor strongly urges Christians to continually seek His Kingdom first, above all else. 

This book carries weightiness and holiness and is a timely word for all Christians, married or not. With keen insight, Pastor K. Bruce Brown sounds a call for change. His book offers valuable life-changing information. Some could compare this book to gazing through a prism of light with many multi-faceted colors, emanating from each angle. The author speaks in plain terms but opens eyes and ears to both the earthly realm and the heavenly realm revealing the two kingdoms that collide here on Earth. 

*Additionally, in the latter part of the book, the author discusses the book of Daniel. He speaks about the end times and builds faith, answering questions one might have.

This book comes highly recommended for those looking to delve into a deep and dedicated relationship, seeking to know their Abba Father, and His ways, and bring their life and marriage to a Kingdom level of living and breathing in the Kingdom. A wonderful read!

CBM Christian Book Review - Jesus and the Two Storms

Title: Jesus and the Two Storms
By: Roland Ramirez
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Divinely inspired, Roland Ramirez, breaks down the two storms written in the books of Matthew and Mark. Studying and commenting on each verse, readers catch a glimpse of the context and learn lessons of faith to find victory. Readers will discover new and fresh insights, as these stories that build character and faith within the body of Christ. Learn to overcome life’s trials, and glean from these two storms, to understand that with Jesus, you are never alone and you can get through to victory in your life’s storms.

We all are familiar with the storm that arose wherein the disciples were terrified and the Lord seemed to be asleep in the bow of the boat. The other storm arose and Jesus was walking on water; Peter called out to Him, and then Jesus spoke to Peter to “Come.”  When God says, “Come,” what is our response? This book is written to help readers understand various aspects of each of these two storms. Do we get out of the boat? Do we have faith? When do we call out to Jesus for help?

The theme of the book is a call to endurance, and to call out to our Lord quickly, knowing that we can experience victory no matter what storm we may experience in life with Jesus helping or at the helm of our boat. Each chapter begins with a scripture, followed by an explanation with several introspective questions at the end. This book could be used individually, or in a group Bible setting. A salvation prayer at the back is included for those who need to reach out to the Lord. This is a wonderful way to reach out to the lost, teach them, increase their faith, and encourage them to walk through their trials with the Lord in their lives.

Also, a must-read book for every Christian as a reminder to Whom we follow and for encouragement within all the trials we face in this life.

This book helps one to refocus on the Lord and Scripture, and also to remember that no one is excluded from the trials and tests of this life; yet, we have Jesus and His victory to help us walk through any storm, situation, or circumstance. A great encouragement and challenge to learn to lean on the Lord at all times.

CBM Christian Book Review -21 Reasons for Trusting in God: Finding Inner Peace in His Existence

Title: 21 Reasons for Trusting in God:
Finding Inner Peace in His Existence
By: L.A. Buckley
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

L.A. Buckley presents a compelling book offering faith in God through the lens of science, philosophy, and historical evidence for God. Science-backed proof of the existence of God coincides with theories such as the Big Bang Theory, evolution, etc., as she offers answers to why Creation and the Universe point to the organization of a Designer. That “Designer” is God, the Creator of the Universe who sent His Son to pay the debt for sin. Her evidence addresses the “age-old” debate many have engaged in, wondering if there is really a God. She has written this book to answer the question of “why” people should believe.  She shares her faith journey and knowledge in sharing with her young teen son, as he wrestled with doubt if there was really a God.

Examples of the questions answered in this book are: 
  • How can I fully trust God when I can’t physically see Him or touch Him?
  • What happens after death? Do Heaven and Hell really exist?
  • What should I trust? Scientific evolution or creation?
  • If God is real, then why do people suffer?
She states, “I want to assure you God is real. The Bible is His word. Jesus died for your sins. He loves you more than you can ever imagine and is worth your trust.”

With a direct and easy-to-read book, the author gives evidence that refutes many different theories and presents the undeniable truth of the God Who created the Universe and created you. Faith in God and understanding truth in the reliability of the Word of God are brought to the surface. She gives the reason why the resurrection is the defining point of Christianity, making Christianity different from all other religions. Miracles, the power of prayer, and the role of the Church give insight into the Bible as our source and God’s Word. This is an interesting read offering insight to some of the disciples and writers of the Bible, giving proof to their findings. Her book displays how God has worked in all these things. Therefore, she offers 21 reasons for trusting in God.

This is a profound and powerful book that is written to transform others’ lives and to lead them into a living faith by discovering “undeniable evidence” of God.

A must-read for all who doubt the existence of a God, their purpose in life, and wonder if there is an afterlife, and if Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.  These and many more answers offer truth for one to find faith in God, knowing and trusting that God is in fact real.

I also highly recommend this book for those who know they are searching for more in this life and wonder what religion is the truth. Finding the truth is not finding a religion; however, understanding what faith is, why God created you, and Who He is makes all the difference in one’s search. God is not hiding. He wants a relationship with you and wants you to go to heaven after you die.

Title: Cracking the Bridle Code to Transformation
By: Debra Webster
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Cracking the Bridle Code to Transformation by Debra Webster is a fascinating and in-depth look into God’s design for the Bride of Christ from Genesis to Revelation. Revealing great insight into these bridal truths in Scripture brings great clarity and intimacy with Christ. She states, “Much of the Church knows almost nothing about being the bride of God. The purpose of this book is to fix that problem.” With that in mind, Debra Webster unlocks the bridal code to bring forth transformation.

Beginning with the fall in Eden and separation from God, her book unveils the longing of the Bride. She states that freedom from the bondage of slavery from Eden brings Lordship to Christ. Shame is broken and intimacy is restored. Engaging, this book is not a fictional story, but truth unveiled from the Scriptures. Some are hidden, some are plain to see, yet only for those who truly seek Him (Jesus). Webster quotes Jerimiah 29:11, “If you seek me you will find me if you search for me with all your heart." Further stating, “He has been waiting for centuries to be known by her. She not only desires Him above all else, but she finds obedience a joy.”

The author has written to those who want to find Him, know Him, and hear His voice! The author has brought forth an amazing teaching that gives great insight into Scripture, God’s desire from the beginning of time to your own desire, and for those who seek God wholeheartedly. This is the remnant, the Bride of Christ, that is to be the Lamb’s wife.

 A truly amazing book and teaching about the Bridal Journey to Transformation!

Debra Webster is a multi-published author and a Writer’s Digest Award winner. Her non-fiction books assist the Body of Christ, answer questions, and offer truth on the Bride of Christ. Her own Bridal journey accepted a calling that came from the Lord to prepare the body of Christ, the Bride, for her Husband, Jesus Christ. Her books are deep, yet relevant and filled with truth from the Word of God. Edifying, her books highlight the End Time Bride and resonate with the true nature of God’s enduring promises and unfathomable love for His Bride. She is an author who dearly cares about teaching the End Time Bride of Christ the authentic and true Word of God for their lives in hopes of bringing transformation to those who truly seek the Lord first in their lives. Her books come highly recommended, as she is a seasoned author, and also a true seeker of God with thirty-five years of studying on the Bride of Christ and the Word of God.

CBM Christian Book Review - Seeking Truth

Title: Seeking Truth
By: Clinton Bezan
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0+ stars

Clinton Bezan writes in his second venture proclaiming the truth of Jesus Christ and the veracity of the Bible. He humbly expresses that he is simply a “conduit” that writes as God’s Grace and Spirit have influenced him. 

In this book, Seeking Truth, he begins with questions we all have and then he springboards into different categories as evidenced by the chapters below. He adds an interesting twist by asking if Allah is God. He condemns the religion machine, but facilitates the looking at life as “a breath” and considers all to examine eternity. He makes his plea to not neglect the salvation of one’s soul that shall live into eternity, either with God in Heaven or forever separated from the love of God. Within this, he states his claim about a worldly church that denies a form of true godliness. Firm and resolute, he states that salvation is the only way to bring true release from the things of this world. He seeks to reveal the truth of Jesus Christ and His offer of the free gift of salvation alongside the truth of the Bible for whosoever is interested. 

With such chapters as: A Drop in the Ocean, Great Expectations, Christians in Crisis, Narrow is the Road, The Enemy Within, Church Progress, Is Allah God? Immeasurable Blessings, When in Rome, Gratitude in Your Attitude, Ambassadors for Christ, Spiritual Power, & Freedom to Celebrate he offers wisdom in each chapter. Additionally, Bezan gives statistics revealing persecution from terrorism worldwide, the Church’s error in allowing gay ministers to be ordained while offering Scripture throughout. 

The author brings the teachings of the Word that exhort, encourage, and speaks the truth of the gospel of Christ to all. While encouraging all to live for Christ, laying down their lives, in full obedience to the Spirit and to the Word encompassed in the Bible. Offering hope, the author gives Christians understanding as to their authority in Christ within the chapter “Spiritual Power” and uplifts those to not compromise. This is a hearty read in spite of the world, cultural digression, and the Church’s place as a light to all amid the darkness pervading society.

Thought-provoking, Bezan constantly challenges readers to come up higher in their beliefs and to base their beliefs on Jesus Christ and His teachings that align with Scripture. This is not a watered-down book, as he speaks the truth in the world we live in and contrasts this truth with the Word of God. 

This book comes highly recommended for anyone seeking truth and purpose in their life. A great read for new and mature believers alike.

CBM Book Review - Forgiving Oneself

Title: Forgiving Yourself
By: Paul Roebuck
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0+ stars

Forgiving Yourself by Paul Roebuck sheds light on powerful Biblical principles throughout Scripture that enable readers to be set free in their own souls! 

Paul Roebuck offers and explains key Biblical principles in this easy teaching making clear the power of forgiveness by putting into practice key commandments from the Bible. What makes this book unique is his understanding and teaching of what forgiveness looks like, giving readers easy-to-follow principles that will set one free from guilt, shame, rejection, fear, etc. He also clearly states that forgiveness is not forgetting, yet it is key to moving forward in life because offenses will come.

Further explaining that forgiveness is not only a command from Jesus, but has been set in place for us to follow in obedience, so that we can be free within our own minds, and also relationally with others. God cannot forgive us if we do not forgive others. Forgiveness further frees us from past offenses and hurts, so that we can move on to enjoy peace and joy. The Father wants to abundantly bless His children; unforgiveness can be a trap that “does the devil’s work” that reaches far beyond what we can comprehend. 

Forgiveness reaches and blesses every area of our lives touching marriages, families, and all relationships inside and outside of the home, in the workplace, and in public; without forgiveness, we will be forever trapped by shame, guilt anger, bitterness, offense, and other downtrodden mentalities. Unforgiveness blocks blessing from the Lord relationally, in His Kingdom, and even financially. Forgiveness is a profound Biblical truth revealed in this easy read. 

A fantastic, uplifting, and powerful read!

CBM Book Review - The “Let” Series: Becoming a Responsible Christian

Title: The “Let” Series: Becoming a Responsible Christian
By: Anthony Adefarakan
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 stars out of 10.0 stars

Anthony Adefarakan writes, The “Let” Series: Becoming a Responsible Christian, reminding Christians, and unbelievers alike, of not only fundamentals in the Christian lifestyle, but brings forth a maturity level that raises the bar by framing his book upon the Word of God. Focusing on the word “Let” in the Bible (mentioned over a 1,000 times) scripture verses from the word “Let” reveal God’s heart and leads to a series of “Let” statements from Scripture. He reminds us with a gentle nudge with a short article that is straight to the point, full of Scripture, insight, and Biblical wisdom. Presenting not a “formula or theory,” this powerful book can profoundly impact Christians by leading them to know God, His Word and inspire wholehearted obedience through partnership with God.  

This book speaks volumes, yet is simple to understand. This is a series birthed from God’s heart and is aimed at bringing the Church to its rightful place. He writes, “Christianity is almost losing its true meaning as God’s people are no longer with instructions to obey from the Word of God as much as they bother with promises to claim.” 

I find this series to be a Holy Spirit inspired and a timely teaching that can assist those searching for a closer walk with God to find a proper balance in their relationship and faith toward God. Written to help one become an overcomer, needless to say, this book is paramount in the days ahead.

His (God’s) ways are certainly not our ways, look into this book to find answers on how to become a responsible Christian.

CBM Christian Book Reviews - Saving the Corporate Animal, One Soul at a Time

Title: Saving the Corporate Animal, One Soul at a Time
By: C. Marsh Bull & K. Wilson
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 Stars

C. Marsh Bull and K. Wilson give hope to the weary caught in corporate jobs seemingly going nowhere. Written to transform the soul and turn others towards Jesus Christ, this book has been compiled from the author's corporate and life experiences to help others also discover purpose in their life according to God’s plans. 

Written from a place of humility and brokenness, beautiful poems emerge, penned in the heat of the moment of despair, revealing this man’s journey back to wholeness through several avenues: namely conversations with God, as he explains his corporate journey. 

His life details four marriages, estranged children, spousal loss, job loss, corporate pressures, and moral failures. Yet, hope from God’s goodness comes forth as the book describes the day he hit “an emotional wall” and found God. This exciting moment transformed him and put him on a path to regeneration. His hopes are that readers find life in Jesus Christ and recognize that at the end of any dark tunnel is a bright light, Jesus Christ. 

Organized and formatted into five conversations: Taming the Corporate Animal, Evolution of Love, Being Human and Being Humanized, and Humanized Man - this man’s discovery will help other men fully “live again” with joy, contentment, peace, and harmony with God, with family, and with all others they encounter in the workplace. A tremendous inside look into the corporate “dog” life that transformed this man to seek “what is above.” The wonderful poetry will touch your heart, soul, and mind. This book is penned from such a sincere place of love and preparing for the “next life,” that brought tears to my eyes as this man has authored this book for you, the reader, to help you on your journey of life.

Additionally, this is a wonderful exploration into finding purpose amidst the world’s corporate workplace and turning this shark eating frenzy into a blessed life, helping others. What an impactful read! 

Highly recommended for those looking for hope!

CBM Book Review - Believing in God and Acting as if He Exists

Title: Believing in God and Acting as if He Exists:
A Response to Christian Athesism
By: J. Bernard Taylor
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

J. Bernard Taylor in his new book, Believing in God and Acting as if He Exists: A Response to Christian Athesism, takes a stand against a recent movement in the religious community known as Christian Atheism. These people do not believe in God, as the author states, yet conduct their lives as if God does exist. They may partake in the teachings of Christ, yet deny the existence of a God. Better known as “Practical Atheism” this philosophy is sweeping through Christian communities. His book provides encouragement and insight that explains a dual battle taking place among some Christian believers, resulting in a practical unbelief. As a 98-year-old retired pastor and one with a D.Min. degree, as well as being a WWII and D-Day Veteran, J. Bernard gives encouragement and much wisdom to practically live as God does truly exist. This is a better way to live.

Beginning with choosing life, the author helps one come to the understanding and knowledge from a Biblical and life perspective of “why” choosing God and His ways are a better choice for life. Full of Scripture with an interactive experience consisting of pertinent questions and prayers at the end of chapters, this read becomes more of a life application and guidebook.

With a full spectrum of not only the Good News of the Gospel, the author highlights God’s plan for peace in one’s life, along with giving advice on how to resist temptation and how to live a fulfilling Christian life. Sound Biblical teachings and Kingdom principles are written in a practical way that will help one assimilate Biblical living into their everyday life. One will also come to learn that becoming Christlike in character is obedience to the ways of Christ. With that said, this book is not a theological book, but describes through life experiences and choices, God’s way of life with Jesus is a better choice. Poignant questions also assist readers in reflection upon Scripture and their own life and perspectives that bring understanding and belief that God does in fact exist. He relates that living a life without God is futile. His book describes that a false belief in Christian Atheism and Practical Atheism is a poor substitute for the truth.

Similarly, one can look at how God works through life experiences. His book keenly states the differences of living in God versus only following the teachings of Christ without the saving transformation of believing upon Jesus Christ. He writes that God matters in everyday life. Further, he teaches that living a life being spiritually transformed reaches every area of our lives, to include how we conduct ourselves in the world, the Church, and in our relationships, even at work and every other aspect of life we may encounter.

Uplifting, insightful and full of Biblical wisdom, this practical book gives one the tools to keep believing in God and act as if He does exist that foster a richer and more content lifestyle with joy and happiness, knowing that God is with you and does exist.

Considering the apathy and Practical Atheism that is sweeping through churches and affecting the youth, this book is a truly valuable resource.  A wonderful and highly recommended read!

CBM Christian Book Review - My Road Goes Ever On: Spiritual Being Human Journey

Title: My Road Goes Ever On:
Spiritual Being Human Journey (2nd Edition)
By: A.K. Frailey
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0+ stars

My Road Goes Ever On Spiritual Being Human Journey (2nd Edition) by A.K. Frailey presents a collection of insightful and encouraging blog posts from the author. This book is a daily devotional style book, as the author blends articles that bring fresh inspiration for the day on life, love, and overcoming obstacles with faith in the Lord. Suffice to say, this read is somewhat of a “Chicken Soup for the Soul” type of book. 

The author is a writer that helps readers refocus on what’s really important in life. Sharing from her perspective, God, and the simplicity of certain things, like listening to a single bird chirp heralding the day coming forth, are some of the examples of simple joy in her life. Along with this, the book offers readers scriptural wisdom on life, love, spirituality, while explaining to readers that we are only “spirits having a human experience.” 

Many subjects are written about such as: the art of joy and contentment, finding hope in God, discovering simple things, appreciation for family and past generations, wisdom from those you meet along your life journey, homeschooling, mothering, angels, music, eternal life, and so much more. 

I found reading her book enjoyable and relaxing, and a way to refocus my mind away from daily negativity and the monotony of life. Simply put, readers will enjoy her openness, wisdom, and positive writings from a person that really appreciates life and the little things. I can resonate, so will readers, as they reflect, absorb, and renew their energy by letting a little of the light in from her writings. 

Daily reflections from her blogs also help one to realize that we as humans are reaching for something much bigger than ourselves during our brief time here on Earth as “spiritual beings having a human experience.” She expresses life is a journey towards that eternal home in Heaven.
  
As such, this book comes as a highly recommended read to uplift anyone’s day! 

Read it as a daily devotional, offer to a friend, or just sit with a cup of coffee and enjoy.

CBM Christian Book Reviews - The Soul’s Destiny: Discoveries of an Ordinary Christian

Title: The Soul’s Destiny: Discoveries of an Ordinary Christian
By: Thelma Jane
A CBM Christian Book Reviews
10.0 out of 10.0+ stars

Thelma Jane writes, “A burden was laid upon my heart concerning the soul’s eternal destiny in the biblical understanding.” As such, this book is written with an urgency from Heaven. God is calling. Don’t miss your own soul’s eternal destiny. She has taken a complicated subject and given the truth of the spiritual realm that surrounds us. An eye-opening read! ~ CBM Christian Book Reviews

The Soul’s Destiny: Discoveries of an Ordinary Christian by Thelma Jane reveals not a religion, but an eternal place that each soul is on a journey of one of only two paths that leads to their destiny (Heaven or Hell) as spoken of in the Bible. She also reveals God, who He is, a loving and merciful God, and salvation through the long awaited Messiah, Jesus Christ, who atoned for all mankind’s’ sin on the cross.

Written in three parts, her aim is to reveal the biblical mysteries about God’s nature, the plan and purpose for creation, the fall of Adam and the origin of evil that reveal God’s plan of salvation for humanity, ending in the soul’s eternal destiny. Intertwining her own experience, her goal is to ring balance, as well as to bring knowledge to know the truth. Basing her knowledge on Scripture, she gives those who are searching for purpose an opportunity to understand spiritual knowledge that one can either miss, or deny, relating to the existence of the unseen laws of God that rule the universe. Christ’s atonement on the cross is the cornerstone of her message.

However, some may disagree on her stance, yet she explains why she could not accept what the usual biblical scholars teach. This is up to the reader to decide. She writes, “God’s laws of love are both just and merciful. My goal here is to try to bring balance between the two extremes of some Christian teachings, so that the truth in God’s Word is made known.”

CBM Christian Book Review - The SOTH Initiative

Title: The SOTH Initiative (Book One) 
By: Dean Brior
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0+ Stars

The SOTH Initiative (Book One), Sect of the Healed Chronicles by Dean Brior is a fascinating read, full of mystery and intrigue, as one learns the story of the SOTH (Sect of the Healed). These are the direct descendants of the people Jesus healed in the Bible. For an unknown reason, their DNA changed at the moment of healing, and passes down to the generations as special gifts, talents, and strengths. Their Sect (SOTH) has been devout followers of Jesus, as their forefathers witnessed those healing miracles mentioned in the Bible. 

The SOTH have also been given a mandate, passed down through the centuries and generations to follow. Their mandate was to preserve, hide,  and protect ancient relics, historical documents and artifacts that disprove those who do not believe until the “great revealing”.   

Beginning with Johnathan, a SOTH, is running for his life. He is the last known of his family line who have been hunted down for generations. Fast forward to modern day, Dr. Lyndon Johnson Batchelor, called Lindey by friends, is frustrated at the comments left on his blog debating whether or not God could be God if He came in fleshly form. After receiving a mysterious email from an unknown source, Dr. Lindey embarks on a quest…, a “truth journey” beginning in Lebanon, Connecticut. 

Intrigued, Dr. Lindey follows this first clue in a search for truth. Each step of the way, the author unveils faith in Jesus and His miracles as recorded in the each of the four gospels found in the Bible. With a keen story-telling ability, coupled with a vast historical and archeological background, readers will not be disappointed! With a touch of relevancy, the author has included the Jihad belief stemming from the Muslim religion and followers that make an interesting plot line.  

This is a fast-paced, but not too fast novel, that flips back-and-forth from different ancient timelines to the present blending cyber technology, investigative tracking from the FBI side to DNA espionage – with reality of terrorism threats! The author develops his characters in such a way that they are believable. Each chapter hinges on the other and pieces become a clear picture of the main thread of the novel. With historical places and wonderful descriptions, with great insight, and knowledge from artifacts and archeology, the author unveils the SOTH’s as a heroic sect protecting the integrity of the Christian faith. This is an incredibly creative novel that gives credence to the deity of Christ, stays true to the Gospel of Christ, and gives the readers a narrative of the truth, only in fiction form. 

Well done and I look forward to Book Two! I absolutely loved this book. Certainly, all the ingredients in this book would make for a great movie!

The Christian Book Review presents Becoming A Virtuous Woman Daily Devotions For Women

A Beautiful Book - Becoming A Virtuous Woman Daily Devotions For Women has Inspirational Scriptures, Powerful Prayers, Meaningful Positive Affirmations, and Dynamic Images to get your days starting joyfully and your nights ending serenely.

Each morning and night contain a scripture, a prayer, a positive affirmation, and an image. Each page also has a place to write the date as you read and a place to write notes.

This is the all-in-one devotion that you need. It is the most complete and comprehensive devotion written, from my point of view. 

No scripture, prayer or positive affirmation is repeated. All the prayers and positive affirmations are unique to the scriptures that they’re with. You will not be bored reading this devotion. It’s different from any other devotion that you’ve read before. This is written in an interesting and engaging style to get you reading each morning and night without skipping a day.

This devotion starts from Day 1 and goes to Day 365. This means that you can start using this book at any time during the year. It’s not based on calendar year but rather YOUR year. This devotion will give you the chance to somewhat read the entire Bible, or at least get you close to doing that in 365 days.

This devotion tells the story of God and His agape love for His most beloved creation…us. This devotion is written to be read over the course of a year. However, if you find that you can’t wait to complete it over a year’s time, then go right ahead and read it how you want to read it. This devotion was written to assist you in living the best spiritual and temporal lives that you can. It was also written to make you enjoy reading the Bible and understand what it is about. This devotion is intriguing, fascinating, and a page-turner.

Once you’ve finished reading this devotion, you should understand who God is, why He did what He did for humanity, and what we need to do to be saved. Also, it tells what will happen to the heavens, to Earth and everything in it once God makes His appearance again to us.

This devotion is chronologically done, from before the beginning of creation unto the end of it. The entire story of the children of Israel is chronologically told from all the books of the Old Testament. The chronological story of Jesus Christ is also told. It also tells of the apostles who took over spreading the Gospel after Jesus left Earth. All the books of the New Testament are used to write about Jesus and His apostles. To make reading this devotion more interesting, suspenseful, and exciting, the story of the Israelites and the story of Jesus Christ are intertwined. However, they are still easy to follow.

This devotion has Important Scriptures and Powerful Prayers to help you deal with personal problems such as alcoholism, overeating, suicide, and rape. It also has Important Scriptures and Powerful Prayers to deal with major life problems like racism and environmental issues. Additionally, it has Important Scriptures and Powerful Prayers about spiritual facts such as the relationship between Jesus Christ and God, why there is no mandatory tithing now, and baptism in Jesus’ name. There are also other personal lessons, life lessons, and spiritual lessons that are addressed to help you live the best temporal life and spiritual life that you can, so that you can have the best of both worlds.

This devotion is good for:
  • Women who want to improve and be a better version of themselves.

  • Women who are looking for a new devotion.
  • New believers.
  • Long-time Christians.
  • Former Christians.

Christian Thoughts for Every Day of the Year (365 Christian Thoughts to Encourage, Inspire and Challenge) by Nathan Haddock provides short, daily Christian Scripture and devotionals. The author believes in brevity, yet makes his focus and inspiration clear to readers. The author states, “Everyone needs a little inspiration on their Christian journey.” How true this is, especially right now! Continuing he writes, “For every unhelpful thought, a better thought is available to you.” This is a powerful truth and statement. 

The above statement is why readers need to get this book to shift into forward gear after great delays across the world and nation. In particular, the world resounds with negativity, and worse, a dread for the future. This inspiring book is a way to add and cultivate a healthy, positive mental state in your Christian walk that will strengthen your mind, and bring a new perspective from a Biblical viewpoint. 

Following the daily calendar, the author writes on each day of the 12-month year. In this way, the author has given readers insight and a straightforward way to feed on the Word of God.  In keeping with sound Biblical doctrine, the author’s positive inspiration and insightfulness will bring a refreshing change to each day of the upcoming year. In simple ways, he digs deep, refocusing readers on God’s faithfulness, while pointing the reader to continue to walk in the good and pure ways of the Lord.

The Classroom Called Life by Christian Author Darren Bennett

The Classroom Called Life
Darren Bennett
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

The Classroom Called Life by Darren Bennett is a collection of 40 life lessons from the author’s life and experiences. With a wonderful and delightful Christian perspective, witty quotes complement his short stories that tie into each “Life Lesson.”

Writing from a positive and inspiring attitude on life, he shares these life lessons, coupled with a few do’s and don’ts. He speaks with candor and humility, sharing his life as an open book with others, as he endeavors to teach what he has learned in what he calls, “the classroom of life.” What else would you expect from a life-long teacher.

Readers will enjoy, being given the opportunity to reflect upon their own lives from a man who has been a high school teacher for 25 years and recently retired. Bennett seems to have a real and genuine zest to live life that is certainly catchy. Quickly, readers understand that he is an outgoing personality that appreciates God in His goodness, family, and friends. Some of his stories share laughter, joy, as he shares such details as his own conversion to Christianity, and reflects back upon the Lord’s work with great thankfulness. Certain stories wake up one’s soul. Others, are quite funny, while others will really make one think about the issues of life. 

Surviving a cyclone, crocodiles, a praying friend, and a sinking ship come to mind, all memorable, yet this man’s tales, even the mundane, like visiting his old house growing up become interesting. A sprinkling of photos add to the book and each experience he shares. 

My personal favorite is when he talks about the presence of God entering a busy room of kids and what happened next. God is all about winning souls, and for the most part, this story reveals God goes after the lost, the one – and one at a time. The author’s joy and humility shine through each particular life lesson. 

Overall, this was a fun book to read! The author’s love for life and God give hope and will put a smile on your face. Readers will not be disappointed! 

You may get your copy of The Classroom Called Life at Amazon, in Kindle and in Audiobook.
