Forgiveness: Breaking the Power of the Past – Is it Possible?
Do you carry grudges, pain from old hurts, pain from recent hurts? This is a review of this 6 week, no-homework bible study. My husband and I facilitated this study last summer (2017) with a group of family and friends.. Many in the group had been dealing with or had known someone dealing with being able to forgive someone who had hurt them in some way. In some cases the hurt was old, and had been carried for many years. In others it was more recent. In some cases the hurt had been discussed and supposedly forgiven and forgotten. In others it had never even been discussed. Just held inside to crop up when…

Determining What Scripture Says
How to Study Your Bible by Kay Arthur We have been students of Precept-Upon-Precept Bible Studies from Precept Ministries International for many years. We have learned so much from these studies of which most have been written by Kay Arthur or written by Kay with a co-writer. Each study includes a Video lecture by Kay Arthur or someone on her staff (many times her son, David Arthur). In our class we would come to class early and watch Kay’s video, and then following that, our teacher would arrive and we would go over the Lesson from our homework and discuss it in depth with the rest of the group. The method of study is…

Big Truths for Young Hearts: Teaching and Learning the Greatness of God
Big Truths for Young Hearts: Teaching and Learning the Greatness of God I have not yet read this book, although I am buying it today. I ran across a review by Dr. Bob Kellemen, (www.rpmministries.org) and it sounded like a book that would benefit many parents and families who wish to share the love of God and theology with their children. The review ratings I found indicate it is a very good book as well (5 star ratings). Title: Big Truths for Young Hearts: Teaching and Learning the Greatness of God Author: Bruce A. Ware, Ph.D. (Professor of Christian theology at Southern Baptist Theological Society Publisher: Crossway (2009) Category: Parenting, Theology, Discipleship

The Richest Man Who Ever Lived – King Solomon
This is a book review of The Richest Man Who Ever Lived – King Solomon’s Secrets to Success, Wealth and Happiness by Steven K. Scott. (The book is on the wisdom gleaned to us by King Solomon himself from the book of Proverbs.) This book, published in 2006, sat on my bookshelf for several years going unread. I don’t recall when I bought it, or why? It may have been promoted at some church event or I may have just seen it in a bookstore, but I bought it and then filed it away on the shelf. Last summer I was facilitating a study with family and friends on the…

I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist – Do You?
I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be a Atheist This post is going to be a review of the book by Dr. Norman L. Geisler and Dr. Frank Turek. It will also be a blog about Apologetics. I was introduced to Apologetics and to this book a number of years ago when my husband and I took a class on Apologetics at the College of Biblical Studies in Houston, Texas. This was a semester long class and we were not taking it for credit but for our own knowledge, with no college credit expected. The word ‘Apologetics’ immediately causes one to think that a Christian is ‘apologizing’ for their beliefs just based on the sound…

My Favorite Daily Devotional – Experiencing GOD Day-by-Day
Experiencing God – Day-by-Day by Henry Blackaby and Richard T. Blackaby Over the last fifteen years I have used a number of Daily Devotionals to help me get in to my quiet time with the Lord. I have to say that there are many good ones, but to-date this has been my favorite I first had the small leather bound copy shown on the left. This size is great because it can be easily carried in your purse or laptop bag. It doesn’t take up much space . It has a soft leather touch and feels so good to hold in the palm of your hand. It is literally gives you…

U.S. Embassy moves to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv – Why do Christians care?
Happy 70th birthday to Israel! The embassy move is considered a birthday present to Israel by many who live there. 70 years ago on May 14, 1948 Israel became a nation again. This was predicted in scripture and now the nation of Israel is celebrating 70 years since the reestablishment of Israel as a modern nation.

STAND by Marian Jordan Ellis
A Very Timely book This book is so timely for me and my family. I am sure it is for many of you as well. As believers we are required to STAND on almost a daily basis these days. In the last twelve years since we joined our church and began stepping out to Serve, Teach and Lead and be involved in various ministries in the church, we have felt and seen the attacks of the enemy, both personally and upon our children, our grandchildren and our friends, coworkers, and other members of our congregation. We started our business using the phrase ‘STANDING FIRM’ in the name for the same reason Author…
