Like I said in my last blog post I love reading great books, and sharing about those great books here.
 So here is two more you! Both from Priscilla Shirer.
 I have read her book called, Fervent, about a year ago. Completely loved it. It is a woman's battle plan for serious, specific, and strategic praying. What a weapon we have through prayer against our enemy the devil. We just need to know how to use it to our fullest benefit.
 
  Just last weekend I had the great privilege of attending a Priscilla Shirer Simulcast event via a little church  here in Texas. I went with my mother-in-law and we both had a very special time!  It was very wonderfully organized and put together by the ladies of that church.
 And Priscilla's message was super good!! She is a very amazing and powerful speaker! I love how she has a way of bringing out the message of the Scriptures in such a powerful way. And how she literally unloads a verse or passage and gets all you can get out of it. And I am like, "Wow all that was in that little verse!" I tell you she is amazing!
 
 So it is with great excitement that I look forward to digging in to this other book of hers that I have just recently ordered. This one is called, Awaken. It is 90 day devotional. I love devotionals. And I have no doubt it will be great like her other one, and like her speaking.

   If you are looking for a great read look for these! She has many more books as well. You can check them out on her web-site at https://www.goingbeyond.com/

 Until next time,

  I am an avid reader of great Christian books. And when I come across some good ones, I love to share about them here.
  I just bought these books from Amazon, which I am very excited about reading. I have started reading the book by Jen Bricker, Everything is Possible. Looks like it will be a great inspirational read!! I am pretty impressed with her bright attitude and out-look on life!
  I also can't wait to get into the book by Borris Vujicic, Raising the Perfectly Imperfect Child. I have read three of Nick Vujicic books, and now to read one by his Dad about what it was like to raise a child born without  arms and legs I think will be pretty neat.
 People like Jen Bricker and Nick Vujicic really inspire me. They may have what the world calls disabilities with limitations, but they have learned to live life to the fullest with no limits, and have not let anything stop them. In fact it appears it has been nothing but advantages for them. They are inspiring millions of people all over the world and are accomplishing way more in life than most of us ever will.
  WOW! Pretty neat I think!
  If you need a good inspiring read, then look for these books as well Nick Vujicic's books on Amazon. They are worth your time!

 Hey ladies!
 We are having a special book give-away for the first 20 ladies to register for the Hope and Crisis Ladies Retreat.
I have just recently read this book. And really enjoyed. I found it so helpful and inspiring.
  And while I was in the middle of reading I was like I would love to give this book to every lady that comes to the retreat. But I knew I could not do that. So I am doing the next best thing I can think of. A book for each of the first 20 ladies to register! You will receive your book at the retreat.
   We are hoping for a big turn out for the retreat, but as of yet no one has registered. And unfortunately we will have to cancel by Feb. 9th, if we do not have 20 ladies registered or at least  committed to coming.
 But I praying and hoping for the best! The Lord's will be done!
  If are in the area, please spread the word to any one you know that would be blessed by this event.
  Below is a photo of the book, and about the author. You can read more about the the book and the Barrick family story here.

​About the Author

Linda Barrick, author of Miracle for Jen and Total Bliss, is an inspirational speaker and co-founder with her husband of the international ministry Hope Out Loud. Linda leads a weekly Bible study of 500 women in Lynchburg, Virginia, where she lives with her husband, Andy, and their two children, Jen and Josh.

 Here is a photo of a bunch of books that are on helping to cope with grief and difficult circumstances. I have these and have read them all. Most all of them I really enjoyed and they have been an encouragement and help to me.
 I am now in the process of reading another book that is not in that photo. It is called Gratitude in Grief by Kelly S. Buckley.
 Most all of theses books can be found on Amazon if you are interested in getting them. Also if you live near me you can burrow them from our library. 
  I really poured my self into reading after our loss and found it so helpful and healing. These books as well as many more good spiritual inspiring, and faith building books.
 They may be a hlep to you too.
God bless!

 Here is another great book I am reading. Beauty Marks, by Linda Barrick.
  So good! I would all most have to say the best one yet out of the books I have recently been reading. I absolutely loved her first book too called, Miracle for Jen. A terrible and tragic accident her family suffered, but the their continued story since is so amazing and  beautiful. I  just love seeing how God is using their accident, their lives, and story for his glory and in great powerful ways.
The Barrick family is a wonderful source of inspiration to me. In this book I love how Linda says we need to turn our pain into purpose, and our wounds  into beauty marks. Which we can only do through Christ.
 
 If you haven't heard of this family or would like to know more about them, their story, and their ministry that is changing  countless lives just google the Jen Barrick Family or look them up on YouTube.

 My latest read. I keep coming across these good books on others experiences of loss, so I order it in. Read it. And share about it here.
 I really like this one. A short book and quick easy read. My heart goes out to this young couple for the loss of their 2 babies. Very good book of hope through the mist of pain and sorrow.
 To read more about this book, and to order yourself a copy, just look it up on Amazon as I did.
