David Jeremiah's Morning and Evening Devotions

I hadn't heard of the author David Jeremiah until I heard my sister mention she was a fan of his books. I took a peak, but nothing really caught my fancy. Then, months later, I noticed my Sunday school teacher saying that she read his books as well, and even said I would enjoy them, still I didn't pick one up. 
It was only when I noticed that nearly everyone I knew that liked to read had read at least one of his books. I wondered what I was missing out on, and when this book became open to review on BookLook I decided to give it a chance.

"Encounter the Living God Every Day
You can find sanctuary despite any circumstances because of God’s life-changing promises.
Chaos rules our world. Whether you’re dealing with work stress, family issues, health problems, or just the challenges of daily life, peace can be elusive. However, when you focus on the One who created the universe and everything in it, you realize that nothing is impossible with Him.
Trusted Bible teacher David Jeremiah guides you on a simple yet powerful journey through Scripture as you spend devotional time with the Savior twice a day. Drink deeply of God’s Word so that you, too, thrive in your spiritual walk"
 
I read this book on and off for a long time, and I very much enjoyed the book. The teachings, at least from what I read, were sound and matched with God's teachings. I was reminded somewhat of my Sunday school teacher and the way I learned under her, and I think that helped me like it more.

I also love the material this hardcover book is made out of! If you're getting this for a book lover they will appreciate the stellar quality this book is made out of.


That's all I have for now, as usual have a blessed week!

Tranquility

I'm not one much for coloring books, haven't gotten into them before, until I saw this book.

 SUMMERY


"Tranquility: A Prayer and Reflection Coloring Journal invites you to mix creative journaling and coloring into your personal time with God. Prayers that focus on topics such as being thankful, dealing with stress and heartache, caring for yourself and others, listening for God’s leading, and waiting patiently on Him will guide your thoughts and calm your spirit. Filled with more than 100 designs to color, plenty of space for journaling, and 40 needs-based prayers, Tranquility will help you express your devotion to God with your whole heart."


I saw this book, and because my friend was into coloring I decided to give it a try. I really enjoyed the small prompts for prayer as I wrote inside the journal. And the coloring didn't hinder from the enjoyable experience, like I had thought it would.

I will be getting this for a few of my friends later down the line, and maybe keeping a spare to share with someone I may meet later in my life. A very good gift in my opinion!

Bringing Maggie Home

I have been a fan of Kim Vogel Sawyer since I started the blogging for books program over three years ago now. Sad to see this wonderful program go, this will be my last review for this program, and I'm glad I get to end it with such a wonderful book.

I have not written a review in a while, so forgive me if it's not as detailed as usual or if there are a few grammar errors (people get rusty ever time!).

Most of Kim Vogel Swayers books, or at least the ones I have read, are usually historical fiction and I love that! When I began to read this one I wasn't sure what to make of the contemporary setting of the story, but my worry was for nothing. The story is about family, one of the best I have seen in a while. Usually when it comes to books about generations of family it can go one of two ways; Either there are so many characters its impossible to keep track of everyone, or key characters get pushed to the back.

I thought the ladder was going to be the case with "Bringing Maggie Home", especially when the two main characters seemed to be the grandmother and the granddaughter. kind of like the book by Sarah Loudin Thomas "A Tapestry of Secrets", boy was I glad to be proven wrong!

In the end I was really pleased with this book, and it has become another favorite. I wish I had more to say on the matter, but what more can I say? The book has won my heart and if you're into mystery, contemporary, historical, or just a fan of Kim Vogel Sawyer you'll love this book!

That's all I've got for now, hope y'all have a blessed day!
