God Loves Broken People

I ordered book God Loves Broken People (and those who pretend they are not) by Sheila Walsh because the title sound so interesting. I started to read do book and since I love books which have lot of stories inside I did like this one too. She uses stories and she also uses Scriptures to show that even people from Bible feared, were hurt and discouradged. The book offers encouradgement to recover and go on and shows how much God loves us. The book consists of thirtheen chapters and also offeres study part in the end of the book with more Bible verses and questions. It can be good help for those who are suffering or for those who want to help someone who is suffering so you can see or show how to find comfort in God's promises.

I Am Second. Real Life. Changing Stories.

I picked this book because I love real life stories. If you feel the same way, this book is just for you. You will find 20 life changing stories from people who were Christians or not but either way after what happened to them they accepted Christ as their Saviour and Father and recognized they are second. When I started reading the book I was bit dissapointed because first stories are about alcohol, drugs and other addictions which wasn't my cup of tea even though I believe these people found God who changed their lifes. But then there are those which can be much more like you, troubles with marriage, accidents and another real-life stories which can empower you. I think this could be a great material for youth. You can also find most of the stories in video format on the website I Am Second.

I would recommend this book, it's worth reading and you can use it also if you work with youth.

The Blessing

I have chosen to read The Blessing from John Trent, PH.D. And Gary Smalley after I finished reading of 'The Place Called Blessing' which I loved. The Blessing is book showing us how to practicly implement all the elements of blessing into our lives so our families can experience gift of blessing.

Book itself is divided into seventeen chapters gathered in four parts: Why is the blessing so important?, Understanding the blessing, When the blessing doesn't happen and Living the blessing challenge.

The story of Esau shows us how important the blessing is, it is so important that someone was willing to cheat and lie just to receive the blessing. Unfortunately, even in today's society there can be someone who desperately long for a blessing which is not coming. This book is very practical and shows how we can work on each element of blessing.

This will be certainly a book I will read once again when I have children because I think it is a must read for each parent.
