The Young Mother of Jesus, Joseph-The Stepfather Who Raised Jesus

With such chapters as: Gabriel-The Angel Sent from God to Announce the Coming of Messiah, Mary- The Young Mother of Jesus, Joseph-The Stepfather Who Raised Jesus, The Innkeeper-Unknown by Name and Oft Maligned, The Shepherds-Those Who Were Looking for His Coming, Isaiah-The Prophet Who Told Israel How to Recognize the Good King, The Wise Men-Who Followed the Star to Find the King, Herod-The Evil False King of Judah, Simeon-Who Waited for the Consolation of Israel, and Anna-The Prophetess Who Served in the Temple.

He Sent His Son: Eyewitness Accounts by Jim & Carol Zeigler takes readers through a delightful experience of eyewitness accounts taken from the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ birth in Luke and Matthew. Beginning with the announcement of the Angel Gabriel to Mary, readers will gain keen insight into the sharing of the events leading up to and following the birth of Christ. Concisely written, the author highlights the true meaning of Christmas, the salvation of Jesus and what that means to those who believe and those who would not believe. Jesus’ birth and His coming as the Messiah was foretold in the Bible as the author gives insight into the Jewish traditions, the names and meanings of some of the Hebrew names of God while speaking of the hope in the One who was born to save all who would believe upon His Name.

Revealing the political and religious climate in Jesus’ time, and mentioning historical aspects of the Bible, Jesus’ prophesied coming in Isaiah, coupled with the events leading up to Jesus’ birth make for a faith-filled journey. As Christmas is just around the corner, the author speaks of Christmas as one of his favorite holidays. Yet, traditionally speaking, he describes Christmas as a time of benevolence, gift-giving and time with family. This “worldly” way and commercializing of Christmas has crowded out the holiness and honor that this season holds for each person who believes (and for those who do not yet believe). He speaks of the Christmas holiday that has become nothing more than a greedy intent to bring money surrounded by false traditions and stories such as Santa Claus, the Elves and Reindeer. (One cannot dispel the fact that he speaks truth about the Christmas season and what the commercialism, not to mention spending money that we don’t have). Thus, the purpose of the book is to remind and teach others of the sanctity of Christmas and point those to the Messiah that was born to die for His People’s sins. 

The author states (speaking about Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds, the Wise Men, the Inn Keeper, Herod, Isaiah, Simeon and Anna, “We can learn from them the way we are to live our lives, believing God will always accomplish His will. We need to live expecting His appearance anytime.” Powerfully written, this book will speak to your heart and mind, bringing such a deep appreciation for the salvation of Jesus.

CBM Christian Book Review - Soul Doubt

A CBM Christian Book Review - Soul Doubt by Leo J. Battenhausen, as an author and psychotherapist, discusses the overwhelming and detrimental impact that depression and suicide are having upon society in the United States. Additionally stating  alarming statistics from the World Health Organization (2016) that suicide and depression are presently at an “epidemic high”. The author also adds that the organization’s prediction is that by 2020 depression will be the most diagnosed disease after heart disease. 

These facts, coupled with society’s views and attempts to “cure” depression with various treatments and drugs, bolster our culture that expresses itself as its own God. Selfishness, greed, media, government, and liberalism’s mantra have taken away from family and marriages like we have never seen before in the United States. With this in mind, the author makes an impressive statement – People need God and need to believe in God. With a focus on giving solutions to depression and suicide, intertwined with keen insight, he offers this book to help others recognize and be free in their souls from destructive thoughts and behaviors that are literally killing many.

Giving an overview of healthy parenting and relationships that include marriages, the author explores the human condition and the soul. Offering a laymen’s view of the soul, he explains the doubts we possess in relation to satisfying the deep void within. Despite technical advances in this information age, the author shares that we as humans are not developing as we should and have forgotten who we are. Advocating that parents invest in their children in meaningful ways, to include their parenting skills, he also exposes a spiritual side to the issue of the mind, soul and emotions. Offering readers an understanding of the realm of the soul, a secular worldview is also considered. His position is that we cannot ignore our souls, which is the essence of who we are.

Revealing what really wages war against our souls, will and emotions, the author has written a compassionate book that speaks frankly to believers and non-believers alike, sharing that there is hope and a solution to this soul problem. Well-balanced, informative, encouraging, his insight is an important work tackling the woes that plague our society, but more importantly offers real answers and hope that presents truth. The truth that God is real, and that we all need God, is something that the author will not compromise. Stating in his book description, “Soul Doubt breaks through with solution-focused answers and PROVEN ways to battle depression and suicide.”

Truthfully, this is a much-needed book in today’s society. As a skilled professional, he knows the human condition and speaks of the healing of the soul, mind and spirit. Presenting a wealth of knowledge, the spiritual battle, modern-psychology, the author offers real answers to those who are suffering or know someone who is suffering. This comes as a highly recommended must-read for all parents, married couples raising children, teens, young adults and newly married couples.

A Call To The Body of Christ

The Christian Book Review presents One: Unfolding God’s Eternal Purpose from House to House by Christian author Henry Hon.

In One: Unfolding God’s Eternal Purpose from House to House by Henry Hon stems from his experience as a Christian within house assemblies in the Body of Christ and the scripture verse as stated in John 17:23 (NKJV) as Jesus prayed to His Father, “. . . that they be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” By presenting God’s eternal plan and purpose the author helps readers to embrace the truth of life in Jesus Christ. 

This is a cumulative read that exhorts believers to come back to the beginning and to consider the Bible with “fresh eyes without the distorted lens of historical Christianity.” One is specifically written for the building up the Body of Christ in such a way without dismantling churches as they function today.

Written from a Biblical foundation that is inspired by the Word of God and the Book of Acts, this book offers an invitation to the Body of Christ that will, usher in another revival. In a step-by-step practical instruction and teaching, this book sheds light and brings a better understanding of what it means to live out the Christian life and to love each other as ourselves.

What you will find within this book brings about spiritual growth, encouraging unity in the Spirit from deep scriptural truths that convey the command of Jesus in word and deed. Key fundamentals such as: prayer, the developing of the fruits of the Spirit, growing and maturing in godliness, how to live the Word and drink Christ, living in Christ’s resurrection power, living with the mind of Christ, being led by the Spirit, persecutions believers may experience, who Jesus is, grace, righteousness through the blood of Christ, salvation, Satan’s division and strategies among mankind, offer clarity and guidance, to include beginning a home fellowship.

This is what true Christianity (and the true Church as one Body) is supposed to look like! READ THIS BOOK and find out what you have been missing that will bring revival in your city, towns, families, neighborhoods and beyond. This is a fantastic book and a highly recommended read that will bring God’s eternal purposes for His Church and strengthen the Body from home to home, inspiring believers to be one in Him, just as Jesus is one in the Father.
