Wherever the River Runs

Wherever the River Runs:  How a Forgotten People Renewed My Hope In The Gospel

By:  Kelly Minter

Publisher:  David C. Cook Publisher

ISBN #:  9781434707352

Pages:  256 pages

When I picked up this book, I didn’t know what to expect.  However, from the very first line, Kelly Minter took me on a journey I won’t soon forget.  Ms. Minter writes of her mission experience to the Amazon and shares the impact it made on her.  I can honestly say that her journey impacted me as well.  Ms. Minter writes vividly and bares her emotions.  A message that Ms. Minter passed on from a friend of hers was “to release worship to the poor,” and this is the mission that was put on Ms. Minter’s heart but it will be emblazoned on others’ hearts as they read her words.

I highly recommend this book; it will take you on quite a journey.

The Single Woman

Publisher:  Thomas Nelson, Inc.

ISBN #:  9781400322312

Pages:  224

Mandy Hale writes to single women everywhere in this book.  She writes with an honesty that is refreshing and her words are empowering.  Ms. Hale also covers many topics such as loving yourself, loneliness, friendships, and letting go just to name a few.  I found her writing to be inspiring and very uplifting.  Ms. Hale also includes her own thoughts, feelings, and experiences on several of these topics which may make the reader feel that the author is taking this single woman journey with her.  There are also author quotes at the end of some chapters that I found memorable.

I recommend this book to single women of all ages.  I think this book can encourage and inspire many a single woman.

The Pleasure of His Company

The Pleasure of His Company

By:  Dutch Sheets

Publisher:  Bethany House

ISBN #:  9780764209482

Pages:  270

In his newest book, Dutch Sheets discusses having a relationship with God.  Mr. Sheets speaks of his own experiences and illustrates practical ways in which we can practice being in the presence of God.  He also writes of the circumstances that can get in the way of our relationship with God such as distractions.  The author uses examples of individuals from the Bible to illustrate the importance of a relationship with God.  I enjoyed the depth and the examples of how we can practice a relationship with God.  The prayers at the end of each chapter also served as a point of reflection and are a great example of how we can communicate with God.

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in having a more intimate relationship with God.  Please feel free to comment below if you have read this book; I would love to read your thoughts about this book and author.

Direction

Direction

By:  Philip Bailey

Publisher:  Xulon Press

ISBN #:  9781628398472

Pages:  98      

                                     

Direction by Philip Bailey is a true story that illustrates the author’s perseverance, faith, and the love of God in his life.  What really struck me about this book is its honesty.  The author takes you on a journey throughout his life from when he was very young to adulthood.  Philip Bailey does not hold anything back from his experiences to his thoughts and the unveiling of his faith.  His relationship with God is told so realistically that as I read I felt that I was on the journey with him.  It is an inspiration to see the perseverance that Philip Bailey possessed throughout his life.  This story also illustrates the love that God has for us.  Throughout Philip Bailey’s life and struggles it is so prevalent how God is present in each and every moment.  It is a testament to how much God loves us and how we are never truly far from Him. 

I recommend this book highly.  I truly admire Philip Bailey’s honesty in depicting his life-journey and his journey with God.

Sex and the Single Christian Girl

Sex and the Single Christian Girl

By:  Marian Jordan Ellis

Publisher:  Bethany House

ISBN #:  9780764211232

Pages:  223

Marian Jordan Ellis’s newest book, Sex and the Single Christian Girl is truly inspirational.  From the beginning, Marian Jordan Ellis writes with such honesty and truth.  I felt that every word written came from the author was written in sincerity and were written to impart the wisdom she gained from her own experiences and wanted to speak truth to every single woman’s heart.  One of the points that can be taken away from this book is that purity is not only about the body but it is also about the soul.  Marian Jordan Ellis also points out that every woman should be cherished the way God cherishes her which I felt was one message that was very poignant and relevant for every woman to hear.  There are so many messages in this book that will change a single Christian woman’s life.  Also included, is a small group discussion guide that I find would be helpful in getting single Christian women to reflect more deeply on each chapter.

I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more books from this author in the future.  Please comment below if you have read this book; I would love to hear your thoughts.

Happy Reading!
