Same Life, New Story

Same Life, New Story by Jan Silvious

In this book, Jan uses powerful character studies of ten women from the Bible, as well as modern-day stories from her work as a professional life coach. Bible teacher Jan Silvious helps women choose new stories instead of dumping, or wallowing in, their old lives.

The ten women that Jan uses from the Bible are: Naomi, Leah, Rahab, Deborah, Hannah, Anna, Jehosheba, Abigail, Naaman's servant girl, and Elizabeth round out the cast of characters who, with their own stories, help readers find new perspectives with amazing results.

Chapters include:

* Realize it's time
* Don't be held hostage by the past
* Ask yourself good questions
* Change your "I can't" to "I can"
* Delete the drama of the day
* Forget the "What might have beens"
* Discover the power of wisdom and courage
* Get past the resistance of fear
* Choose to bounce back
* The last chapter has not been written yet

This is a wonderful book for any woman in any stage of life. I really liked reading about Naomi and hearing the stories from Jan's work.

Soul Print

Soul Print- By Mark Batterson

I had the opportunity to meet Mark Batterson in his theater church in the D.C area last year when he had started a series on his book called Primal. I have a copy of that book and in Soul Print there is a chapter from Primal inside of it. I love how Mark writes. He is a very passionate writer as well as a passionate speaker. Soul Print was all about introducing yourself to who you really are and who God created you to be. With the world sending you mixed messages about how to view yourself, Mark realizes that what people really need to know right now are some Biblical truths. This book is labeled as a self-discovery book that puts God at the center rather than self.
This book is a very easy read and would be good for young readers as well as adults, I definitely recommend it.

The Shelter of God's Promises

The Shelter of God's Promises- By Sheila Walsh

This book includes an in-depth Bible Study plan and would be perfect for a small group (or a large group) of women.
In this book, Sheila searches Scripture for things God has promised us and goes into great detail about what those promises mean. This book contains ten solid promises from God on: Something to hold on to, Provision, Peace, Confidence, Love, Grace, Hope, Strength, Knowing there's something better, and Home. Sheila uses all sorts of tools in order to help us understand and make connections in her book. She uses a lot of personal stories and you can tell that she is very passionate to get these truths out to other women.
This book can be used as a Bible Study or a devotional or just something to read when you need to hear about one of God's truths. Definitely a good thing to read when you're having a bad or rough day.

Precious Moments

Precious Moments Storybook Bible

I received this book for free from Booksneeze. When I was little I always wanted a Precious Moments Bible. My family collected precious moments stuff but I never had the Bible before. I always told myself that whenever I have a child, that I would get them one. So when I saw that booksneeze had one to review, I jumped at that opportunity. The Precious Moments storybook Bible is very simple, as it ought to be for Children. It highlights some of the main stories from the Bible with big bold print and classic Precious Moments pictures. The stories are captivating enough for young children to be read to and the words are big enough and simple enough for young beginning readers to understand and read through. Overall, this is a very nice children Bible and I highly recommend it for any young child.
