~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!

Faith Joseph's Story: A Novel and Christian Bible Study by Sandra Lea Hardage
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Faith Joseph's Story: A Novel and Christian Bible Study by Sandra Lea Hardage

I want to begin my review by saying this is an excellent book to read. It is an easy to understand way of telling a wonderful story from the Bible. Joseph was his father Jacob's favorite son, the youngest of the family then of eleven sons. He was not only his favorite son he gave him a special coat. His mother died giving life to his little brother whose name was Benjamin. This caused his father to show him even more favoritism. Most of us have known about this story from our childhood Bible Schools and other Bible Studies we have had in our lives. Faith-Joseph's Story is a different view of Joseph's life. It is written in the first person making the first half of the book a novel about the life, faith and Gods plan and purpose for Joseph. Also a way to help others and to help his family. Jealousy and envy among brothers then is like it is today with brothers and sisters in some families. Joseph was very prideful when he was young causing his brothers to hate him. Latter in his life he learned to depend upon the God of his fathers "YHWH" to forgive him and God had caused him to have a forgiving heart toward his brothers. He had forgiven them for the evil thing they did to him. We can learn a lot from this story in how to live our life to serve others. The author has put a section in her book on how to become a Christian and an example of how to pray the sinners prayer. Faith is the ability to receive the will of God. Joseph's life is an example of what a Christ-like person should be today and everyday of our life! The second half of the book is a Bible Study based upon the story of Joseph. You can do this study as a group or as an individual Bible study.

~Come Back to Jesus~ and Don't Bring Your Blickberry~

Tanya Logan's Book~ Come Back to Jesus–and Don’t Bring your Blackberry -

Have you drifted away from the Faith? Or has life gotten in the way? If any of these: • Busy-ness • Relationships • Hurts • Addictions have held you up, you need Come Back to Jesus. Renew your love of Christ and your joy in building on the gifts God gave you. STOP just going through the motions. Find the time-stealers and replace them by starting afresh with prayer; center yourself in The Word. Explore the things that could lead you off the “narrow path.” Practice opening up to God, being in His presence…. Experience the love of the Lord like you may never have before. Read the book as a personal growth guide, or use it as a 6-week Bible study and share insights and encouragement with your small group.

Here is my Review~ I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a six week study with five study days for each week. The object of the book is to help us realize just what the things are we have in our lives that can be considered idols or gods These gods keep us from spending valuable time in worshiping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It could be our cell phones, computers, television or any other thing we do instead of keeping our selves true to our commitment in serving God and developing our gifts the Lord has given us to do his service. This study can help you experience the Lord and his ways like you have never been able to do before. You can read the book and do the different studies each week by yourself as I have or you can share the experiences with a group. There is a "Leaders Guide" for a six week Bible Study using the writers examples or you can make your own for each day in the six different weeks. She suggests opening each session with a prayer and prayer request. It is a very informal study and I believe I would like to lead a group of ladies and use this book. When we accept Jesus as our Savior,,,,that is not the end of it. We must turn from our worldly ways and strive to keep our hearts and mind upon what is important to being a Christ-server.

Narrated by Joseph himself, FAITH Joseph’s Story communicates the power of this young man’s faith-faith that began in the midst of a plot to murder him and ends with his rise to power in Egypt. It show the perseverance one must find to overcome the negative experiences that happen in life, and it provides a testament to the importance of placing complete faith and trust in God. With Bible study materials and a leader’s guide included, FAITH-Joseph’s Story is not only a novel from Joseph’s perspective but also a Bible Study in God’s Word and is written for the individual or small group study.

Daves Recovery Part one~

Daves Recovery Part one~
http://youtu.be/qccQ0LplBTQhttp://youtu.be/qccQ0LplBTQ

Copied from Hannah Gray, Brother Davids sister:

Published on Sep 7, 2013

Dave's recovery this far!!
Dave is one of the kindest people I know and I do not say that just because he is my brother. He has done work for homeless, he always been willing to help in community service, and if you needed, he would literally give you the shirt off of his back. He gives as God lays on his heart. That is all I would ever ask of a person. Dave is also Pastor at a small church in Calhoun MO. He was washing windows at a hospital on May 27th, his rope snapped, and he fell 50 feet, landing on his feet. He shattered his L3, crushed both heels, broke his tailbone, and did some damage to a nerve sack in his back. When the doctors looked at his back they said it was a miracle that Dave could move or even feel his feet. He has a long road ahead of him and the doctors are hopeful that he will walk again. But that does include lots of nights in the hospital and thus far he has had multiple surgical procedures, and has required ICU admission. As you pray about how God would have you give please keep in mind that he is a pastor of a small church. I will add, that they have huge hearts at Calhoun and my brother Dave is lucky to have a church that prays and cares for their pastor so dearly.

This is book 3 in the Sonrise Stables series.

My love of horses began when a teenage neighbor offered me my first ride, on the back of her horse. From my 8-year-old perspective, it seemed like the biggest horse in the world. From that moment on, I was addicted. Horses were to become a very important part of my life, although I never could have imagined, at the time, how much God would teach me about Himself and my relationship to Him through these wonderful animals. The Sonrise Stable series combines my love of God and horses in stories that I hope will help children learn more about both. I have a vision for ten initial books in the series, taking the main characters through one year. Beyond that I’ll see where God leads me. I have been blessed with three daughters and home schooled each of them through high school. I enjoy trail riding my Rocky Mountain mare, Nikki, hiking, photography, and playing guitar. I work from home as a web designer and computer programmer and enjoy the variety and flexibility that allows.








A book review by Claudean Brown~

This is the third book in the Sonrise Stables Series of four:  The book is about  a family with whom  have a great love for horses. This book will help you with your children's reading skills and also teach them godly morals and the importance of good sportsmanship. The idea of Home Schooling is being a great way of teaching their children the basics and also at the same time helping them learn more about God and his Creation.
Emily was so excited about her demonstration about Evolution at the 4-H Meeting and Rosie and Carrie knew that it was not true.
Creationism vs Evolution, this is the subject that Rosie and Carrie have to try and prove to their 4-H Club friends and to some who are not friends. They will try to prove that God is the Creator. You will be surprised how the girls got their point across to the other 4-H girls and their mothers.The belief that over a long period of time animals, such as the horses in this story evolved to be what they are today from small animals with four toes on their hind legs and three on front legs. Then they evolved through the ages to be the modern day horse that we have today.
Rosie and Carrie had the Word of God to help them with their demonstration. While Emily only had hear say that could not be proven, because there is not anyone alive now that was living when these small, three and four toed animals were susposed to have existed.

This book and the two before it would be awesome for children around eight to twelve years old. They would learn life lessons and if they have a love for horses it is ideal for them to read.

I would recommend this book for your child to read and learn about how a life with horses around you teaches you so very much about them.
