I Declare War

by | Jan 21, 2019 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

    When I first read the title of Levi Lusko’s book I Declare War it sounded like it would be a war mongering book. Then I saw the smaller print “4 Keys to Winning the Battle with Yourself”.  This book came at the right moment for me as I continue my fight...

God Made Me

by | Jan 3, 2019 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

      I haven’t read a children’s book in a long time so when I was offered to review a copy I said why not. I’m glad I did. I enjoyed watching Veggie Tales with my nieces and nephews when they  were smaller and I am looking forward to when they start...

Decoding Your Dreams

by | Dec 22, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

      I believe God speaks to me in my dreams. Although, at times I am mystified and wondering what he is trying to tell me and I have been more confused by dream interpreters. In Jennifer LeClaire’s book Decoding Your Dreams she helps her readers...

Dead Sea Rising

by | Dec 19, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

      I found another book that I had a hard time putting down once I started reading. It is called Dead Sea Rising by Jerry B. Jenkins. I’m looking forward to when book two in the series comes out sometime in 2019.   I find reading a helpful tool...

The Golden Thread

by | Dec 8, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

      I enjoy reading books about courageous people who with God fight a health crisis and learn so much more about God and themselves. In Darlene Zschech’s book The Golden Thread you learn a lot about her own journey with cancer. The entire book is...

What a Great Word

by | Nov 23, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

Spending time with God every morning is one of my self-care routines that I begin my day with. I use the Bible app mostly. I also enjoy devotional books one of those is Karen Moore’s new one called What a Great Word: a Year of Daily Devotions.   I love that it is one...

Holy Roar

by | Nov 22, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

    I first listened to Chris Tomlin’s worship music with my sister after she picked me up for a trip. I never heard him before and I could tell that my sister enjoyed his music. I have to admit I did too. When I received the opportunity to read Chris...

Becoming Gertrude

by | Nov 21, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  I have enjoyed a few of Eugene Peterson’s book, including The Message Bible that he put out, so I was excited to get to read his wife’s book Becoming Gertrude. I was not disappointed. I love the concept of cultivating spiritual friends that is used over and...

This Season of Angels

by | Nov 20, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

    Warfare, spiritual warfare whenever I hear this I get a pit in my stomach. I’ve been taught about spiritual warfare between the angelic angels of God and Satan and his demons. I know in the end God wins, he will always win. Yet, the part I don’t like is...

Beyond Blessed

by | Nov 16, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

I have read some books that basically tell you to treat God as a vending machine. I was hoping while reading Robert Morris’ new book Beyond Blessed that he wouldn’t be saying the same old jargon I have heard and don’t believe. He didn’t. I really appreciated what...

Once We Were Strangers

I love reading stories where two different cultures meet and build a friendship. In Once We Were Strangers by Shawn Smucker this is the exact story you get. Shawn becomes friends with a muslim who came from Syria. Smucker is honest and real in this book about how...

You are Enough

by | Nov 7, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

    I have read a previous book by Mandy Hale, so I was excited to be able to read You Are Enough. I love that she shares her authentic story with her readers. I also appreciated that she shared her anxiety, depression, and pain with us and the active things...

Win From Within

by | Nov 5, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

    I’m not familiar with a lot of the pastors who are preaching on TV, still I was intrigued by John W. Gray III title of his book Win From Within. He uses the story of Jacob and his fight with the angel and running from God as the premise of his own...

Delayed Justice

by | Oct 26, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  I love discovering a new author and a new genre of books to read. The author I discovered is Cara Putman and the genre is lawyer thrillers. What I liked is that Putman spins a believable tale of a young lawyer who happens to me named Jaime too and her quest to...

Happily

by | Oct 22, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

    Marriage is a sacred commitment between two people and God. I have never been married, but I have been blessed to watch several couples in my life who shown me what a real marriage is like. One of those couples were my parents, they were married for 50...

The Sparkle Effect

by | Oct 19, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

    I’m not into watching the Miss USA pageants, so I wasn’t sure who Kristen Dalton Wolfe was when I was offered a chance to read her new book The Sparkle Effect. I’m glad that I took a chance and read her delightful book. This the type of book that would...

Legacy of Mercy

by | Oct 10, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  One of my favorite things to do is to read a historical novel. I got a chance to read Lynn Austin’s new novel Legacy of Mercy. I dove right in and I had a hard time putting it down once I got started. It is romance, but it isn’t one of those gross types of...

Hope Your Heart Needs

by | Sep 29, 2018 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  My day seems to go better when I spend time with God each morning. The days that I don’t, I don’t feel like myself. That is why I spend time with devotionals. One devotional that I just completed was Holley Gerth’s Hope Your Heart Needs. In this devotional...
