Prayers from a Mother's Heart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is a wonderful collection of prayers you will want to read and look at day after day. I actually got it to give as a gift to my Mother for her birthday. I found myself going back to the store to buy myself a copy and some kleenex to give along with my Mom's book : ) Children will never know how much a Mother loves and what it all means until they themselves become a parent. My Mother and I were always close, and now that I have kids of my own...our bond is even stronger. This book looks into a Mother's heart and shows the love it is filled with for her children.

The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word (Meyer, Joyce) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Do you take aspirin, Tylenol or Advil when you have a headache?
Well, this book is medicine for the spirit!
It is broken down into categories for easy reference. IE: Hope, anger, encouragement, faith and so on.
So many times we get "attacked" during the day... I pull out my book find the appropriate scriptures, say them out load (that's the key) and immediately feel the peace of God.

Relationships: A Mess Worth Making Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Last week I finished this new book from Resources for Changing Lives-Relationships: A Mess Worth Making. Tim Lane, together with Paul Tripp (author of one of my favorite books, War of Words) tackle the deeper issues involved in relationships in the lives of believers.
Written with a gentle, we're-right-there-with-you tone but also grounded in the authority of Scripture this proved to be a helpful read considering my relationships and the specific ways I need to embrace the power and sufficiency of God's grace to redeem, restore and deepen the quality and purpose of relationships in my own life.
The structure of the book is a little awkward because even though it has two authors they write as one. I was somewhat distracted by this especially when they would tell a personal illustration but not say who's story it was. I was surprised that at the beginning of each chapter they had a lengthy excerpt form a secular song. And I was concerned at the couple of quotes they positively sited from Donald Miller of the Emergent Church movement. The one other hang-up I had was due to the multiple Scripture references quoted from The Message translation.
Overall this was a beneficial read. Perhaps a better book addressing the heart of godly relationships would be Jerry Bridges book The Crisis of Caring: Recovering the Meaning of True Fellowship. However I would still recommend Relationships: A Mess Worth Making and here are some excerpts from my two favorite chapters:
Chapter 5-Agendas
p. 43
The default question we ought to bring to every area of life should be, "What is God's purpose and design? What was his reason for creating this?" When you apply these questions to relationships you begin to see how different his agenda is from your own. We would easily settle for our own definition of personal happiness when God's purpose is nothing short of conforming us to the image of Christ! Whether we are conscious of it or not, we all have dreams for our relationships, and we are always working to realize those dreams. How close is your dream to God's purpose?
Chapter 9-Forgiveness
p. 95
The metaphor of debt cancellation (Matthew 18:21-35) clearly defines the nature of forgiveness. The merciful king absorbed $100, 000 debt that was owed him. When you forgive someone, you also cancel a debt. But, more specifically, you make a conscious choice to absorb the cost yourself. You choose not to make the offender pay for the offense. By forfeiting....you make at least three promises.You promise that you will not bring up the debt to use it as leverage. You promise that you will not bring up the offense to others and slander the person who sinned against you....You promise not to dwell on the offense yourself.

Hearing from God Each Morning: 365 Daily Devotions (Faith Words) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Relationships. They aren't easy and good ones don't just happen. If you want a good, strong relationship with someone, you have to work at it. You have to make a commitment. The more we invest in a relationship with another who cares for us, the better it will be. And the same goes with God. If we truly want a good, strong relationship where we can solely rely on God, we must make a commitment and work at it.
Joyce Meyer's Hearing from God Each Morning--365 Daily Devotions can help you strengthen your relationship with God through her daily meditations. This guide serves as a reminder to what is really important and to be able to recognize God's voice through all the noise of the world.
The readings are short and begin with a biblical quote followed by a short essay by Joyce. It ends with God's Word for You Today. I found these daily readings to be insightful and powerful. They applied to everyday life and reminded me where my focus needed to be at. Joyce writes in a down-to-earth clear cut manner, and really drives her point home. The readings are inspirational and positive. They really encourage you to grasp God's message and do His works.
I have many daily devotionals and usually find I read a few pages and the book gets pushed by the wayside. This one, however, will not. I was eager to read the next pages and will continue to reread this book. This devotional made me think more about my relationship with God and listen more closely to his Word.
This is a great book for yourself and would also make a wonderful gift.
Note: I received a copy of this book from Hachette Book Group for review purposes. The opinions in this review are honest and my own.

In the hustle and bustle of today's busy world, sometimes it's hard enough to hear yourself think, much less take a minute to stop and listen for the voice of God. But learning to recognize God's voice and the many ways in which He speaks is vital for following His plan. This devotional; drawing from How to Hear From God, Knowing God Intimately, and The Power OfSimple Prayer shows the reader through a daily reminder, how God speaks through their own thoughts and feelings, their dreams, and the words of other people. Joyce Meyer reveals the ways in which God delivers His word and the benefits of asking God for the sensitivity to hear His voice. Joyce asks the question, "Are you listening?" and shares how to do just that...on a daily basis. Download the free Joyce Meyer author app.
