Half Finished

by | Mar 7, 2019 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  Finally, a novel. I read a fiction book. I don’t read them that often as I do non-fiction. Half Finished by Lauraine Snelling caught my eye because it is about a group of people who start a group for UFO projects. Not the alien kind, but the unfinished projects...

Grateful American

by | Mar 6, 2019 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

      I just graduated from high school when Forest Gump hit the movie theaters. It touched my heart deeply. I also have heard and saw videos of Gary Sinise and his valiant efforts to help Veterans get the help and respect they need to live well. In...

Break Through

by | Feb 27, 2019 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

I love reading memoirs that tell about the greatness and power of Jesus. In Break Through by Joyce Smith you get such a story. A mother prays over her son who just fell through ice and died for a bit before she prayed over him and he came by to life. There is more to...

Taste and See

by | Feb 2, 2019 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

    Nothing speaks to people than food. Food connects people together. We celebrate with food. We even connect with God with food, especially during Jewish festivals and Christmas and Easter. In Margaret Feinberg’s book “Taste and See” we explore this very...

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

What a Great Word

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...

You are Enough

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

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...
