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!

I believe God wants us all to come together and pray!

From the album: Timeline Photos By New Life America I believe God wants us all to come together and pray! I'm excited for the prospect of His great answer! Please post your prayer below in the comment section! Thank you so much! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Here is my prayer: Father, our most gracious God I bow before you in thanksgiving for the opportunity my family and I have to live in a country that still has the freedom of religion, the freedom to worship who when and where we choose to do so. I am so very concerned for our people here in America. I need You in my life Lord I can not manage all I need to do without You! There are so many lost souls in our country and they do not even realize that they are lost. Our hearts are so heavy for them and their destination as they travel through this world. I am asking You to make each person miserable in their lives as they are today UNTIL THEY TURN FROM THEIR SINFUL WAYS AND choose to serve You! I believe in You our Father, your son Jesus who come to save us all and the Holy Spirit you sent to live and dwell in us to guide us in your ways. I am working for Your kingdom Lord and I want to be a witness to others for You. In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen Click Here to go to Facebook Page

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.

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.
