Reviewed by Lesley Jones for Readers' Favorite
In My Name by Marja Verschoor-Meijers explores the definition of not taking the Lord's name in vain. What exactly does that mean, and as Christians, do we follow that commandment daily? How can you live in today's society and still honour the Lord’s name? This is an insightful look into why it is better to listen to the voice of God’s spirit than follow holy law. It asks why would a caring God demand punishment for taking His name in vain? Why was it so important long ago for people to obey the law of God and receive His blessing, or face the consequences of disobedience; Galatians 3:10. This book uses stories from the Old and New Testaments, and the author's personal experience, to understand why this commandment became law, and how we can interpret this today. How can we show our obedience and love to God every day? There are thought-provoking questions to consider which will completely open your mind to new, life-changing possibilities. Through this remarkable book, you will understand how to open your heart to God's love and blessing.
This remarkable book takes an in-depth look into the meaning of living spiritually with God in your heart. The author asks the question, ‘Do you take the Lord's name in vain?’ The author thoroughly examines this question from a variety of angles. The book is very astute and looks at both Old and New Testament with an open mind. I loved the questions at the end of each chapter, and they make you consider your own lifestyle and values. The author has actually made me realise that attending church every Sunday is not enough. To give love to those who are not so fortunate, and not to judge others is a true way to receive God's blessing, ‘Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?’ An excellent read and recommended to anyone who isn’t afraid to question and explore new possibilities.

Nothing but the Blood of Jesus: How the Sacrifice of Jesus Saves the World from Sin by J.D. Myers is a devotional and inspirational book that explores the mystery of the agony and death of Jesus on the cross.T he author gives a powerful exposé on what the act of spilling Jesus’ blood reveals about the nature of God and His role in the redemption of humankind. This book explores the concepts of sin, law, sacrifice, scapegoating, and bloodshed - themes that run through the Bible - and it offers surprising gems that help readers to get the whole picture of God’s grace and what Jesus actually redeemed in humanity.
Readers will be able to make the connection with the God of the Old Testament, who appears to be vindictive and ready to defend His people, even to the point of bloodshed. But what is so unique about the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and what makes it different from every other blood that has been sacrificed in the name of religious salvation? This book answers similar questions, throwing a luminous light on the mystery of redemption and allowing readers to see where they fit into God’s plan of salvation.
Written in a simple and captivating style, this book is a gift of faith and it will offer answers to readers who do not buy into the Christian doctrine of salvation through the blood of Jesus. The author weaves his personal experiences into the work in a very interesting manner and features references to theologians and other thinkers who have articulated on the subject. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus: How the Sacrifice of Jesus Saves the World from Sin is a powerful message of love, a message that is inspired by the Scriptures and that explains God’s plan of salvation to suffering humanity. It is inspiring, encouraging, and a message of hope.

Christian - Devotion/Study
Reviewed by Darin Godby for Readers' Favorite
Struggling to maintain a personal relationship with God is part of what many deal with because of religion being filtered through people or organizations. IDEOLATRY – God is Not Your Problem by Dr. Rich Masek deals with many misconceptions as well as religious ideas that need to be confronted and made personal for each person, rather than just taking someone’s word as to their own belief. Dr. Rich Masek does a beautiful job of challenging the reader to confront their own beliefs vs. what others have tried to indoctrinate into their lives. Noted within the material is the fact that while the Spirit led Jesus, which is the desire of man, many times he is influenced by the law, traditions and man’s opinions.
A very profound statement by Dr. Masek is: “We develop our book of personal Ideolatry using our version of the truth. We tend to base that truth on relativity influenced by our various situations, observations, perspectives, and experience. Our Ideolatry affects our views of both God and His character.” (Pg. 64). Dr. Masek uses many illustrations, tables, charts, and scriptures to make his points and enlighten the reader. This material is not about pushing his agenda as much as allowing the reader the opportunity to challenge themselves and have a better understanding of how to make their own decisions. A great concept presented is would God conflict with Himself? Can God do good and evil? There are so many valid points to consider. This is indeed one of the most excellent books of our day. Every church, leader, college, and university should have this material. Dr. Masek says what should have been said many years earlier. This is definitely a 5-star book!

Reviewed by Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite
Hearing His Voice: Meeting Jesus in the Garden of Promise by Meredith Swift is a devotional book that can be read as a Bible study, a compelling spiritual testimony, or a guide to effective discipleship. In a time like ours, where a competitive culture creates much stress, it is easy to feel lonely and abandoned. Although our culture provides the most efficient communication tools, it enforces a deep sense of loneliness which can be painful. It is in this context that Ms. Swift offers an antidote that most readers take for granted — their sense of intimate connection with God, who loves them unconditionally.
The author takes the reader through her painful experience of loneliness to a meaningful encounter with God and shows how readers can find meaning and purpose by reconnecting intimately with their source. Highly imaginative and packed with insights, handy prayers, and reflections, this book is a tool that draws the reader into the Garden of Promise and allows them to experience the healing, loving touch of Jesus. In this book, the author invites readers to listen to the voice that comforts and that gives life.
The writing is friendly and it is packed with powerful biblical references that are as relevant as they are inspiring. It isn’t surprising that this book was written at a time when the author was going through challenges in her life, overcoming the painful experience of divorce and having to deal with relocation, career shift, and a daughter with a medical condition. It’s no doubt that God used her experience to communicate His love to humanity through the gift of this inspiring book. Hearing His Voice: Meeting Jesus in the Garden of Promise is a spiritual gem to receive with gratitude and pass on with love.

Christian - Devotion/Study
Reviewed by Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite
The Purity Driven Life: God's Call to Character and Integrity by Mike Maxwell is a beautiful addition to inspirational Christian literature, a reminder of God’s invitation to everyone to live in His image by embracing a life of purity. Readers will be immediately attracted to the author’s deep sense of humility, which comes across in the opening pages of the book as he shares his personal journey towards a life of purity, a journey filled with challenges. There are very important and powerful points that come across in this book: 1) a life of purity is God’s design for every man and woman; 2) living in purity doesn’t come easily; 3) God’s grace gives us the strength to live a life that conforms to His will.
The author makes references to relevant scriptures that highlight the theme of purity, explore the human psychology about purity, and propose a path that readers can travel to embrace union with God by living chaste lives. I loved how the author explains the trap into which most people — including myself — are lured, the erroneous logic that purity is impossible and that God’s grace saved us so we don’t need to do anything. Just as Rainer Maria Rilke points out in Letters to a Young Poet: that something is difficult is enough reason for us to do it. Living according to God’s will isn’t easy, and that is where His grace becomes powerful, enabling us to muster the strength and courage to live the values of our calling to a life of grace. This is a powerful message to a world that idolizes sex and carnal sins, a well-written book that comes across as a tool of inner liberation for many of us. You should read The Purity Driven Life: God's Call to Character and Integrity by Mike Maxwell if you want your encounter with Jesus to be a meaningful and fulfilling one.

If you are feeling betrayed, hurt, mistreated or lack trust, keep on walking, literally. Keep Walking: 40 Days to Hope and Freedom after Betrayal by Lynn Marie Cherry is about the healing process that the author felt once betrayed by her husband, who was addicted to pornography. Walk with Lynn Marie Cherry through 40 days of healing, reflection and the word of God. She has taken her pain and life’s story to provide the reader with a tool and resource to navigate through the process. The material contained in Keep Walking is like working with a therapist. As you read through the book, take your time, embrace it, express your feelings, and work through those tough and challenging parts of you that are wounded and need a touch. On each of the 40 days, you will have a profound title dedicated to your deliverance, an affirmation of Today I Will…. and a Reflect and Response exercise, along with some scriptures to help provide adequate closure for the day. As an added bonus, there is a website dedicated to betrayed spouses and a pathway of healing for couples.
For me, Keep Walking: 40 Days to Hope and Freedom after Betrayal by Lynn Marie Cherry provided a catalyst that confirms that, despite what is happening, to keep walking and trust God, no matter what because He sees and knows all. Lynn Marie Cherry says, “...in the darkness I couldn’t see...all I wanted to do was curl up in a corner and cry the day away, these words from the Bible were like a warm blanket wrapping me up….giving me the courage to crawl out of my corner and face another day.” Only God could help Lynn Marie Cherry.

Grace in Progress is a gorgeous book containing a personal reflection and a handbook of prayers. Included in the book is the complete story of author J.C. Beichner’s struggles and trauma in her early childhood and adolescence, all of which led her to the church and a religious calling of sorts. This beautiful and heart-wrenching introduction is followed up by a series of short prayers that touch on issues of love and trust through God, finding courage and strength in difficult times, and praying to Jesus when feeling as though you are broken. The book is short but contains everything that a person might need to feel comfortable after dealing with difficult times in life, and wanting to make connections to God and Jesus through prayer.
Grace in Progress first pulled me in as a reader with gripping storytelling, an honest voice, and prayers that seemed fitting for the theme of the book. Author J.C. Beichner does not sugarcoat her experiences as a child and a teenager, and while some of the events were difficult to read about, they were crucial to the story and the trajectory of her life, landing her where she is now. I truly enjoyed reading all the prayers for the broken, but I especially liked the Cast Out My Fear prayer and the Broken prayer. These prayers speak about love and being patient, and I think we could all use a few quiet moments to read this silently or aloud and reflect on our own lives. A beautiful book of prayers that is recommended!

In their most recent book, Wheels of Wisdom – Life Lessons for the Restless Spirit, Tim and Debbie Bishop give some pretty amazing stories of where they have traveled across America. This book inspires the reader to understand they aren’t alone in facing the difficulties of life. The authors enable the reader to quickly get engaged along the journey and to relate to both the negative as well as the positive issues they encounter.
We see how these challenges help to shape the characters of Tim and Debbie and how they become stronger and wiser through the traveled miles. There are scriptural passages throughout the book that point the reader to more than the authors' story, and show how one can deepen their own personal faith as they allow God to speak to them. There are also personal reflection questions at the end of each chapter which allow the reader to do a deeper self-evaluation.
Tim and Debbie Bishop take readers along on their miles and miles of beautiful scenery, gorgeous weather, exhilarating people, and the adventures that help to develop and shape both their journey as well as their life. This is a fun book as well as one that the reader can eagerly grow from as they read and make the journey alongside the Bishops. Their ending wrap-up, entitled “The Ultimate Destination,” was a fantastic way to both honor God as well as to bring to a close such a wonderful, exciting adventure traveling through various states and making numerous memories.

Blessings, Miracles & Supernatural Experiences is a fascinating, in-depth look at miracles from God, and more specifically what it means to have God on your side and in your life. Many examples are given of dangerous situations Christopher H.K. Persaud encountered growing up and living in British Guiana (now known as Guyana), best known as the site of the Jim Jones People’s Temple massacre. It was a Third World rural country and so hospitals were minimal and doctors were scarce. Therefore, when an accident or severe illness took place, it often was life threatening. The faith of Persaud and his family prevented many a tragedy. Examples include a serious motor vehicle accident which Persaud was involved in, a missing child, almost catastrophic episodes of seizures, and other medical issues. The most interesting to me is the instances of demonic possession of acquaintances of Persaud and actual sightings of ghosts or other entities.
In all cases Persaud makes it very clear. Only by calling on the name of Jesus can we escape the worst that the spirit world has to throw at us. He has done a thorough job with Blessings, Miracles & Supernatural Experiences and provides many references of Scripture from the Bible, in addition to well-known Bible scholars and evangelists, to back up his statements and stories. This book would be a good addition to the libraries of Christians, particularly if they are in the mission field, as people accomplishing great things for the Christian kingdom are often attacked by the demonic world. Blessings, Miracles & Supernatural Experiences will let readers know what can happen and how to pray against attacks.
