21 Seconds to Change Your World Book Review

21 Seconds to Change Your World


Author:   Dr. Mark Rutland
Publisher:  Bethany House
Pages:  174
Audience:  Adults
Genre:  Christian Living/Prayer

Dr. Mark Rutland’s new book, 21 Seconds to Change Your World, is about prayer.  Dr. Rutland writes about his own prayer journey and how he discovered how praying The Lord’s Prayer and Psalm 23 changed his life and will change ours.  Dr. Rutland takes you through The Lord’s Prayer and Psalm 23 and illustrates how the words in both of these prayers can guide us in our prayer lives and bring healing and abundance to our lives.  Dr. Rutland challenges all who read this book to pray these verses over our lives and for others as well.

I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to enrich their prayer lives.  Dr. Rutland’s prayer challenge is life changing; I accepted his challenge and it has definitely changed me.

I would like to hear from you and what you think of Dr. Rutland’s prayer challenge; please leave a comment below.

Happy Reading!

At Love's Bidding

At Love’s Bidding

Author:  Regina Jennings
Publisher:  Bethany House
Pages:  352
Audience:  Adult
Genre:  Historical Fiction

Regina Jennings’s book, At Love’s Bidding, tells the story of Miranda Wimplegate, a young woman who helps her family manage an auction house in Boston, Massachusetts.  In a faux pas, the auction house accidently sells a portrait that they were not to sell. 

These circumstances set Miranda’s grandfather to purchase an auction house in Missouri where the portrait was overheard to be shipped.  Miranda sets out with her grandfather to Missouri where surprises and the mystery of the portrait await.  While in Missouri, Miranda meets many quirky and endearing characters, one of whom is Wyatt Ballentine.  Their journey together is fraught with angst, however, these characters impact each other in very positive and faithful ways.

I would recommend this book.  The storyline is entertaining but also explores how faith impacts us on our walk through life’s struggles.  I enjoyed reading this story.  Regina Jennings is a gifted storyteller, who writes very memorable characters.

Happy Reading!
