"Bible Prophecy and You" by Len Woods

Bible Prophecy is something that can stump anyone, and its study consumes many Christians. What if there was a book for everyday readers like you and me? This is such a book! Have you given up on the study? Try picking up this book. It should help.

Prophecy from the past, present, and future is explored in this new book by Len Woods. Starting with "Prophecy 101" moving through to "Here's What We Can Say for Sure," this book is filled with understandable information about past, present, and future events. The colorful pictures/illustrations and extra Scripture passages add to the understanding you will get about prophecy and Israel and other nations, as well as topics like: Hell, the Rapture, the 144, 000, and the Two Witnesses. 

I really like this book. I grew up in church, but still appreciate books written for those of us not in theological colleges/universities. It is easy to understand and the illustrations help the information come to life. This book is for anyone who wants to delve into prophecy but is a little afraid of the many books out there. You can understand and learn more about prophecy. I recommend this book to all adults. Thank you to Barbour Publishing for my review copy of the book. The review and words are totally mine.

"When God Says Wait: A Devotional Thought Journal" by Elizabeth Laing Thompson

Micah 7:7 (ESV) "But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me."

Waiting, one of the toughest things we can endure. Waiting can cause us to doubt our faith, worry over the small things, stop reading our Bibles, and change us into impatient, frustrated people. But, have you ever tried journaling through the wait? This new journal, designed by Elizabeth L. Thompson can help each of us work through the times of waiting.

Scripture passages, special thoughts, illustrations, and examples await each person who picks up this journal. And then there is the space to write. The invitation is there on each page to write something, to answer a question, to let out something about your wait. This book will help make the waiting a little more productive for you. 

I really like this journal and can definitely see how God will use it to help me as well as so many others. Are you waiting right now? Why not pick up a copy of this journal and try it out? You might just see God work through the waiting to blessing. I am thankful to Barbour Publishing for my review copy. The review and thoughts are totally mine.

"Jesus in Me" by Anne Graham Lotz

Do you enjoy a good Bible study, whether as an individual or in a group? Do you enjoy studies that encourage and strengthen you, promoting spiritual growth? Anne Graham Lotz has a new one available called, "Jesus In Me," and it could truly change your life as you study about the Holy Spirit in depth.

When Jesus returned to Heaven after rising from the dead, He promised us a Comforter. That Comforter is the Holy Spirit and He is always with us! We are never alone, even though there may be times we feel alone. In this study, you will look at who the Holy Spirit is (Helper, Comforter, Strengthener, and more), how to Enjoy His Presence, how to Rely on His Power, how to Embrace His Purpose (Guides, Ignites, Shapes, and more), how to Live by His Precepts, how to Reflect His Purity, and how to Trust His Providence. It really is an in-depth look at our Constant Companion. Doesn't it look good? Pick up a copy and try it out for yourself.

This book is a wonderful challenge for me. I am enjoying learning more about the Holy Spirit and will be buying this book to give as a gift to others. Anne Graham Lotz makes it personal, and that appeals to me. I highly recommend it to you! 

**Disclosure**This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

"Dear Grandchild, This is Me" by WaterBrook



Do you have a grandchild now or one coming in the future? Do you know someone who is a grandparent? This new journal is just right for you! Time moves so quickly and we don't often stop to relay the stories and truths of our lives. This journal will help do just that.

Grandparents will open this book and begin to tell their story. There are sections where you will introduce yourself, talk about your childhood, talk about high schooh and college, and so much more. There is a section to talk about how things have changed, and what an eye-opening time that will be for everyone. From the moment a grandchild opens this book that is filled with such love and wisdom, they will be changed. This is a book that will help keep family history alive. Pick it up and check it out. You won't be sorry.

I really like this book. I was given one similar to it as a gift when my first grandchild came along. What an opportunity to give insight into my thoughts and experiences! I highly recommend it to grandparents everywhere. You won't regret this wonderful journey of recollection. I received my review copy from WaterBrook & Multnomah. The review is mine.

"The Scripture Memory Map for Women" A Creative Journal

One of the things Christians are encouraged to do is memorize Scripture. There are many ways to do this and they vary in effectiveness from person to person. In this new journal. every woman can find help for memorizing. All it takes is s little time.

This journal breaks down memorization into pieces that make it easy to learn and apply. From writing out the verse, to finding reasons it is important to remember, to how it applys to our lives, to a prayer, and more; each piece is meant to make the verse personal to the learner. The Bible version you used is your choice, and the reader will find multiple versions quoted. Is it time for you to get a little help from this journal?

I really like this journal. While I don't have trouble memorizing, this "map" is useful to me for keeping track of what and why I am learning. I can't wait to get more copies to give as gifts! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. 

"The Jesus Who Surprises" by Dee Brestin

In her new book, Dee Brestin provides evidence and encouragement in finding Christ all through the Bible and in our lives. This book is perfect for either a personal or group Bible study and enables the participant to go in depth in each lesson. 

As the title implies, many people are surprised at where Jesus shows up. From Genesis 1:1 through the remainder of the Bible, and in every aspect of a person's life, Jesus' presence is made known. This study will help indifiduals identify the where's and why's, enabling a closer, sweeter relationship with HIm. A few of the study titles are: "The God of the Dance," "Religion Versus the Gospel," and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Maybe it's time for a new Bible study for you.

I love Bible study and especially like new approaches. This one intrigued me and still does as I am working through it. I grew up in church, but continue to learn and grow all the time. This is a study I recommend for people at all stages of their faith journey. God will bless you! I received my review copy from WaterBrookMultnomah in exchange for an honest review.

Upcoming book "Law and Addiction by Mike Papantonio

About the author:
Mike Papantonio is the author of Law and Addiction. A truth-teller, he is a crusader who uses fiction to entertain and inform his readers about some of the most pressing issues of our time. In each of his thrillers, he lays bare the conspiracies and white-collar crimes that hurt ordinary Americans — and that are rarely covered by the national media. A senior partner of Levin Papantonio, one of the country’s largest plaintiffs’ law firms, Papantonio uses his own cases as springboards for his novels. He has aggressively taken on Big Pharma, tobacco, weapon manufacturer, and the automobile industry, among other bastions of corporate greed. One of the youngest inductees into the Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame, Papantonio is also a well-known media presence as host of America’s Lawyer and co-host of the syndicated radio show Ring of Fire. A skilled musician and athlete, he is based in Pensacola, Florida.

Praise for Law and Addiction:
“This compelling read is both entertaining and edifying, and the story is more than timely. In his real life, attorney Papantonio is making it his mission to bring to justice those who unleashed the opioid scourge upon our country; in this fictional tour de force he has drawn characters engaged in this life and death struggle that the reader can't help but care about. Bravo!”—Alan Russell, #1 bestselling author of Burning Man and Guardians of the Night

“The multidimensional brilliance of Mike Papantonio shines brightly through this can't-put-it-down legal thriller. For a deep dive into law and politics, power and those who fight it, and the very human conflicts that drive and tear at us all, read Law and Addiction!”—Thom Hartmann, nationally syndicated talk show host and New York Times bestselling author
