~A God For All Seasons~

A God For All Seasons by Patti Tingen

Hope for all seasons. Encouragement for all times. Love from God for all year. “There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NLT) 

"A God for All Seasons: Inspiration and Reflection for All Times" takes the reader on a yearlong journey, month by month, season by season. Each chapter correlates with a month of the year, offering personal testimony and insights for the various spiritual seasons that we all experience. 

In winter’s darkest days—hope, renew, wait; in spring’s blossoming beauty—change, plant, trust; in summer’s wondrous warmth—give, celebrate, rest; in autumn’s colorful coolness—harvest, believe and thank. 

In all times and in every season—may you be blessed.

My Review: This is how I see the book " A God For All Seasons"

It has been my honor to do a review of this book for the Christian Women Affiliate's  group that is called "The Review Crew" 
I received a free copy of this book/Ebook/Product to review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC Regulations. I am part of The CWA Review Crew.

The writer Patti Tingen has written a book for us to use as our "Daily Devotional Book" if we choose to do so. 
The readings of each month are beginning with a scripture from the Bible. The month of November is at the very beginning. The season is depicted by the month in which it falls. Like September is a time to Harvest because the feel of the Fall air is near. This is a really good read! I would like to tell anyone to read this book. It would help a new Christian to find the answer to some or all of their questions. It is my belief that even a more seasoned Christian like myself whom have studied the Scriptures since their early childhood will benefit from reading this book written by another Christian. She has put herself in some of the situations. I am so thankful Patti as presented this little book for us to read. I know I am going to read and re-read it

Here is my Review:

I am so glad that I chose to read and review this book. I was so excited when I opened the box the day the package came and I found this beautiful gift bag with a hand written note in it. Ms. Robin was thanking me for my interest in her book, "Perfumed Letters" and then I realized I had received a very special book from a very special person.
I had a very difficult time staying on track with the subject of some the chapters I was reading, until I reached the end of it, the very first one and there Ms. Robin explained the chapter with her Reflections. I found them very helpful in realizing the references she used to compare the different fragrances . I have to admit there are some words in the book that are not in my vocabulary as a practicing child of God who is trying to keep only pure words coming from my mouth. There are just a lot of better words to use as descriptions or expressing our feelings.
I do love the way she backed up her thoughts with a reference to go and compare with the Scriptures in the Bible. More than once while reading this book I was reminded of the sweet, sweet Spirit of the Holy Trinity and how each one is so very important to understand in your life as a "Perfumed Letter" as a born again child of the most High God! Thank you so very much for reminding me that I am His and my purpose in His Kingdom is to always be a sweet fragrance for others to see and feel Christ when I am around them. Also, thank you for reminding me how important it is to use my gifts He has so graciously bestowed upon me to promote the Kingdom of God and his purposes. So, as much as I love my "Glory Vanderbilt Perfume " it has no comparison to the fragrances mentioned here such as my very own fragrance I have in as much as the cost of my value as a Daughter of the Most High God.  The God of the Universe who put your perfume in you and in me. As an ending to my review I want to share a "Thought" from Ms. Robin's book, you will find this on page 142. "As a Perfumed Letter, I  encourage you to to keep on living and rock your perfume because the kingdom is within you."   You will find this reference  in the book of  Proverbs 24:4 niv,                                                                    I recommend that you read this book and keep it near you to review often as it will help you to understand  most of the ups and downs in your life. As you live your life with the Holy Spirit within you from of the One who sent the Savior of the world. Thanks be to the Father for his followers who are not afraid to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his Kingdom!

Here is my review:

This book is a wonderful guide to getting organized and putting everything in your life in proper perspective. It is a new updated and revised book of the one published in the1990's. A lot of things have changed since then. Therefore, there is a need for her to update her book with all of the new technical advantages that we have today such as our personal computers, internet books, texts messages and of course our emails. All of the new ways to communicate with each other have made communication much easier and faster. In many ways all of our new technical ways of getting our jobs done may have complicated our lives even more than doing things the old slower ways.

The 12 Steps in the book are all started out with a Bible Scripture and a way of life is depicted by putting God first in all things in our lives. We should be a "Proverbs 31 Woman" and honor God with our lives. Each Step ends with a Bible verse and a list of the ideas and how to apply them to our life with our family and cause our household to be more orderly and peaceful. The writer has not forgotten about the single girl and how important it is for her to be organized too.
 
If you have not already chosen to allow God to be your leader in all of your life, she has out lined the way to become a Christian and that the penalty for not choosing God and remaining a sinner is death. When you have decided to follow the ways of Jesus find the right church for you and your family where the Bible is studied and taught to new born Christians. Try to find one close to where you live and fellowship with other believers and learn how to serve God.
I will be referring to this valuable book many times in the future to help me become more organized in my home and make sure that I make time in my busy schedule to study Gods Holy Bible by setting a certain time in each day for prayer and worshiping my Savior!
