Spirituality Books

I went through it with my friend and we have gotten to know each other better. Not only that but we have realized what God's purpose is for our lives (individually). I really recommend this book to all ladies who really wants to find out more about the purpose that God has designed for your lives.

Excellent! Loaded questions that provoke deep examination and assist with life purpose coaching. I am using the books now as a discipleship tool with a group of 6 women. Surrender conversation promises to open hearts and dreams to God's plan and purpose for our lives. Thanks to Katie for her investment in the lives of so many women.

This book and the companion book (Pathway to Purpose for Women) are INCREDIBLE and deliver on the promise of capability to be life-changing IF you are ready to really have the honest and transparent conversations and work the steps of the path. These are thought-provoking conversations and you have to be ready to pray like never before, be patient and put your learnings and discoveries into use (you must be ready to be bold about pursuing your passions, not just identifying them and letting them sit in a journal). I'm working through these conversations with several women now and seeing amazing life change, among women I admired already!

I got this book with the Pathway to Purpose and Prayers for Purpose and I am working throw the lessons with my friend. They are great, very helpful and inspirational.

This isn't a just workbook -- it is a book that helps you examine your heart, your values and your motives while you have the conversations on purpose - you find more about God's purpose for your life ---

Present for my neice, she loved it. Started using it the day it arrived.
Thank you!

I love this book! Even if I had no inclination toward kitchen witchery before, this book makes the idea sound fun, exciting and fulfilling.

There are very few authors I trust. This book is definitely one to keep. I wish I could have met him. Blessed Be

I was replacing, my first copy decided to go live with someone else. I find this an excellent for someone with little experience with herbs and their uses and some one who is a novice in the kitchen.

I like having it to use as a resource so I can double check what I'm doing, as I sometimes cannot remember as well as I use to.

This is a good book that doesn't offer too many recipes...I already like my OWN recipes! But, what it does do is highlights many ingredients I already use, and let's me know what magical properies they have. This allows me to customize my own recipes to express the magical intention (along with flavorful intention) I am crafting. It could use MORE ingredients,(which is why I gave it a 4*and not a 5*,. as there are some common ones that are missing, but overall it is a good reference for the magical kitchen.

The theme for this year's Daily Guideposts was traveling, both spiritually and physically. Like all Guideposts it is packed with well-written insight from writers who have earned their credentials. Some are young, some are blue-collar, others are academics and journalists, but they all have something that will leave you thinking after having read their contrbution for that day.

Each Christmas my Mother gives me Daily Guideposts which allows me to benefit from that present 365 times in the year that follows. John Sherrill reminds us of something a train ride taught him, "The slower pace shifted the emphasis from 'getting there' to 'enjoying the journey.'" His perceptive wife Elizabeth "Tib" describes how she travels both geographically and spiritually by recording notes, prayers, insights, and what she believes God is saying to her as she lists places and times such occurrences happen.

Marilyn Morgan King writes convincingly of glimpses she's had into the spiritual world. God touched me through her writing and thus answered her prayer, "Creator God, help me to remain alive to Your magnificent creation and to pass that joy to others."

I was disappointed that there was no daily Bible scripture associated with the devotional.

thank you for having this book available. It is a blessing to use everyday. The authors of each day have thoughtful and wonderful insights to guide us with our daily walk with the Lord.

I have used Daily Guidepost for several years--- It is a Easy to read, short daily reading with EveryDay advice, experiences , etc...
I bought the Guidepost for less than I could buy it at the local stores--

This is my second Daily Guideposts book. Each devotional is brief, yet succintly provides a story that everyone can relate to. I love these books and will probably get one for each year to come.

This wonderful collection of true stories is deeply moving. What an uplifting and encouraging book!

Bought the book last week and we are passing it around the house-everyone wants to read The Day I Met God, we have nearly worn it out! Theis collection of stories will touch your heart and move you as you see God's faithfulness. Get an extra copy for a friend!

We're buying four more copies to give away as gifts, and we'll probably buy more later. It can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter where they are on their spiritual journey. This book was so fun (and easy) to read. My wife and I loved reading the wide range of fascinating testimonials to God's life-changing power! We felt compelled to share these stories with others. Plus, where else can you find a book that is truly invaluable and inspiring for less than 9 bucks!

I couldn't put the book down. I kept reading, story after story, waiting for one to be a "dud." But I was never disappointed. Each story was equally inspiring and filled me with encouragement and hope. There are as many different stories as there are people writing them, all unique, all different.

THE DAY I MET GOD is filled with inspiring and amazing stories of people who had an encounter with God....even the most unlikely of individuals. There's a story for everyone in this book. It will reach anyone and soften the hardest heart! If you have a friend who is need of God's healing power or truth, this is the book for them. These stories will lead them to God! I particularly was moved by the story of the young man was robbing a man who agreed to give him his money, but told the burglar that he needed to give his heart to the Lord. There's is no doubt in mind that this victim must have prayed for the man who robbed him, because he was later led to the Lord. The criminal was really haunted by the man's words until he gave his life to the Lord. I won't spoil the surprise of how he turned his life around! A great evangelical tool, this is a book that Christians can give to their non-Christian friends without fear of offending them. This book''s gentle stories speak loudly of everyone's need for God and also it shows how we are all individuals and how God meets us not just where we are but in such a special way that it validates how well he knows his children.

Every story seems better than the last. Just an amazing collection of brief biographies, that make you want to read more about each individual. I'm half-way through the book. I may write to the author of my own stories: My wife had a tumor the size of your thumb disappear from her neck after a prayer circle with a gifted healer. Verified with x-ray and ultrasound that is totally gone. Years before, she woke the moment a distant friend of mine, whom she had never met, passed away 350 miles away. In her dream, he shook her hand and died. I confirmed his passing the next morning. It was at the moment she had woken up.

One of Dan Millman's stories is of a skeptical doctor who went to Lourdes, and witnessed a women on the verge of death from advanced tuberculosis be cured in 30 minutes after having water from the Grotto poured over her. The doctor first describes her near death state, and then the implausible minute by minute improvements in her appearance and condition.

DIVINE INTERVENTIONS lifts the spirits as it soothes the soul... it is the perfect antidote to all manner of news media, which more often than not emphasizes things that seem to be going wrong, usually without much of an explanation as to why things happen or what makes them happen in the first place.

This refreshingly inspirational set of fifty stories, each less than seven pages long, that describe amazing events in the lives of people from all continents, spiritual traditions, and walks of life. What these stories have in common is that each of them illustrates something so extraordinary that it changed someone's life... sometimes in ways that would likely not have been predicted.

I love the way stories are told from all walks of life and all parts of the world... with a sense that there are indeed more things in heaven and Earth than most of us have dreamed. All kinds of amazing miraculous events have been occurring for thousands of years, and it's just delightful to read about some of them in one fascinating volume.

I give this book my highest recommendation to everyone interested in spirituality, miracles, and the divine.

This collection of people and their life transforming experiences is simply excellent! Each chapter, which summarizes the experience of a different individual, is just the right length (not too long, not too short, and very well written).

My favorites here are the very interesting stories of Byron Katie, Valerie Vener, and Peace Pilgrim.

Open to any page; after reading a paragraph you're hooked on the fantastic experience another has had in the out-of-the-ordinary.

Dan Millman and Doug Childers have included 50 stories in 50 short chapters about real experiences that inspire the reader to realize there is more to understand than science currently knows.

These life-changing events happened to people of all ages, including those as young as 8 year old Lucia dos Santos, one of the 3 children of Fatima, Portugal, in 1915.

This 5-star book reinforced my value on virtues, while giving me a boost of energy!

Of course I was honored that Dan and Doug asked me if they could tell about my near-death awakening in Copper Canyon (which is told in detail in my book, PRIMAL AWARENESS). But the honor relates, not to having my story included, but in being a part of Dan Millman's wonderful sharing of the joy that surrounds us all. Dan walks his talk and the stories he has selected reflect his deep passion for all that is magical.

If you enjoy seeing humor in the seriousness of faith, Virelle Kidder will become a welcomed new friend. But don't let the light touch of Donkeys Still Talk fool you, Kidder's humor is the vehicle for real depth and truth. Such depth can only be delivered by someone who has lived through the trials of life and has found the secret to lasting joy. I'm recommending Donkey's Still Talk to those attending my Direction: Discernment for the Decisions of Your Life retreats and day seminars as we learn how to hear from God in the midst of the noise and clamor of life lived in the trenches.

This was a terrific book. It helped me to look at the difficult situations (anything I didn't want) as a time of learning. Virelle suggests focusing on what really matters (Godly perspective) versus what I want (me, me, me).

She uses her own circumstances and experiences, some were very trying, to see what the Lord has in store for her and each of us. I found this at the public library at a time when I really needed a change in my attitude and perspective.
I highly recommend this book, especially if you are at place where you feel stuck.
--M. Law

Because God is so personal, he speaks to us through objects we understand. Who can't relate to a wild headstrong donkey? Virelle uses the donkey, a necessity for survival in Bible times, as a symbol for the challenges and irritations braying at our door. She teaches us how to identify our beasts of burden and how to tame them by "letting God handle the herd."

Filled with scriptural illustrations and warm personal stories, Virelle Kidder's book is a must have for your bookshelf. Read it once, but you'll keep coming back over again for encouragement and insight.

A "donkey" can be a difficult person or an unforeseen situation that comes into our lives, often without warning. Who among us hasn't had to deal with one or two of those? We may not always appreciate these distracting and unwelcomed intrusions, but according to author Virelle Kidder, we can learn from them. In fact, sometimes the very reason these "donkeys" are in our lives might be to teach us something. Virelle Kidder is a wonderful writer, and her newest book DONKEYS STILL TALK is both enjoyable and uplifting. I would recommend it to anyone dealing with a difficult situation in his or her life.

I loved Virelle Kidder's soft, friendly manner of writing to encourage me to change how I view the tough interruptions of my life. I was particularly helped with her chapter about unburdening the beast--which helped me realistically view how I tend to blame others, hold onto bitterness, take myself too seriously and lean toward other unattractive characteristics such as anger and complaint. This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it.

I initially read through this book very quickly, and am now re-reading it with much more care and attention. This book is dense with wonderful insights and instruction on the nature of consciousness in ordinary time, dreamtime, and beyond. The text is informative, and the notes and bibliography are detailed and complete...Mr. Moss has obviously done his homework. The subject matter is, needless to say, compelling. There's a lot here to study and work on as well as many leads to related resources. I was happy to learn so much more about the Order of the Golden Dawn, "A Vision" by WB Yeats, and Dante's "Divine Comedy", among other things. This book is now one of my favorites which is saying something because I have lots of 'em.

A favorite dream of mine is one I had after my mother's death. She has been gone for almost ten years, but has taught me much about life after death through dreams.

I dreamed that my sisters and I were helping at a community church event. Mom was there. We knew she was dead. This was a very special visit. Someone asked me to run an errand, but I refused. I did not know how long Mom would be with us. Sure enough, in the time that I would have been away, Mom told us she had to go. She showed us some sort of gadget that reminded me of an electronic university calendar. It listed many "courses" that one could take. Each course had a button next to it to facilitate movement and choice. Each button had a protective cover to prevent accidental activation of a new course. Mom explained that she was ready to move on. We went outside with her and watched as she pushed the button for her next course. She floated up off the ground and then slowly drifted away across the fields until she disappeared.

Robert's book is in three parts. The first is about this sort of dream, visits with the dead. The second details his own experiences with the poet Yeats, who wanted to write a Western Book of the Dead, and has long served as a guide for Robert. The final section can prepare us for our own deaths, and outlines how to use dreams to assist the dying. Life after death is like a dream, where none of the rules of our earthly life apply.

The Dreamer's Book of the Dead is massively researched, full of stories from myth, dreams, and near death experiences. I expect that some Christian people would be offended or frightened by the idea of an afterlife which we can visit or even create in dreaming, and warn against any attempt to connect with those who have passed over. Robert Moss does address the dangers of connections with the heavy energies of addicted personalities, for example. But even Christian people can fear death, and can find comfort in the words of this book. In fact, pages 235 and 236 hold the most beautiful example of a healing encounter with Jesus, from one woman's conscious dream experience.

Death does not need to be a fearsome thing. Our loved ones may not be with us in a physical body, but are not so far away at all. This book will be a comfort to many.

Robert Moss gives important advice on how to help those we love die with peace and hope. By sharing dreams together, and by giving dreams of beauty and hope to those who need them, we can be active participants and helpers during this sacred time that we all will eventually face. This book has changed my way of looking at life and death.

Personal experience blends with ancient teachings in Robert Moss'sTHE DREAMER'S BOOK OF THE DEAD: A SOUL TRAVELER'S GUIDE TO DEATH, DYING, AND THE OTHER SIDE which offers accounts of death and its survival. Author Robert Moss survived three near-death experiences in childhood and has been dreaming of the departed all his life: DREAMER'S BOOK OF THE DEAD is nearly an escort service, offering insights on dreams, the afterlife, and healing.

Like all books by Moss, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Although he comes back more deeply in subjects he may have covered a bit in his former books, Moss does not repeat tirelessly. Instead, he manages to bring new stories and bright insights along with a quick review of particular points whenever it is needed.

In the first part, Robert Moss goes over the realm of death and its inhabitants, what they do, what they want, how to contact them through dreams. In the second part of the book he moves on to recount his adventures in the astral with the poet Yeats. He explains that his inspiration in writing this book came through his imaginary relationship with the poet. This book of the dead is meant as a sort of continuation of Yeats's own book of the dead, left unfinished by his death.

Despite the subject, the author is as playful as ever. Here's how he tells of the birthing process: "The Moon priest helps me into my body suit. Part of me recoils from this limiting, this confinement to such a primitive form, with only one organ of generation. Yet this body suit is flexible and moves with my thoughts.(...)It pulls back into its default mode - that of a biped that cannot eat and talk safely at the same time (...)".

He offers one of the few accounts of what happens before birth and the possibility of parallel lives across the space-time continuum. Karma is now! I would certainly have liked more discussion on that particular subject. Instead, Robert Moss stops there, leaving us wanting more explanation and a more adequate conclusion. The rest is as fun-filled and rich as his other books.

If you want a more experiential and intelligent approach to dreamwork (as opposed to just dream interpretation), Robert Moss' books are the way to go.

If you are in a recovery program or are a student of A Course in Miracles, you will really enjoy this book. You might also wish to check out Daily Meditations for Practicing The Course by Karen Casey. I am on my third time through this book. I have been a student of "The Course" for quite a few years. It is quite a journey.

I have been looking for this book for 2 years. I had one that is 17 years old. I was very surprised to fine one that was nice and new. I purchased and then bam, it was here by mail.

Thanks so much,.

This is a good book for someone in alcohol recovery. I am a non-drinker and didn't like the references to "see your sponsor, etc." I recommend it for someone trying to go straight.

I love this book! It gives me daily inspiration and a positive attitude to start my day.

I don't think we as human beings actually recognize the power of daily reading, meditation, and reflecting. Practicing these powerful principles allows us to remain mindful of the moment and reflect upon the deeper question in our lives. To devote ourself to a daily meditation and to journal on these quiet times is priceless and will certainly aid in the evolution of our soul. For me this practice has allowed an awakening to take place and opens my life up to all the opportunities that are available in this universe. Please give this practice a try! This book will help you in your journey of living and cultivating an active consciousness in your daily life.

I think this is such a hard topic for many of us who personally have gone through difficult times. I know the theology, but it didn't make my heart feel any better. I have three special needs children and I have never been able to really understand our suffering within our family. I know God is wonderful and works all things for good for those who love him. I believe in Romans 8:28, but my heart had moments where life felt so difficult for my husband and me. This book has been a real blessing to me and has really given me hope while raising these babies. I realize that God has called me to raise these children for a purpose higher than i really know here on earth. I needed this book at just this time in my walk. I pray that whoever reads this book will be as blessed as I have been. If God led you to read these reviews, i say buy this book and let God speak to you through it. God bless~

This topic could be no more relevant for the church. It's not a question of modern days, but one that has continued long throughout the history of Christianity. Maybe, however, no other group of gifted men have come together, as one, to put together such a gem of all books.

I am thankful for such a book. You will find it honest, true, straighforward, and absolutely and purely Biblical. If you're wanting a read that will make you feel perky, good about yourself, and inward focused, than don't read this. If you're ready for a heart-wrenching, long-enduring read, than pick this up (and be sure you can sit for a while).

This book will bring to the front of your heart one of the issues that you have just bumped down to the bottom of the priority list. Get it. Read it. Pray through it. Cry through it. Live with the truth of it.

In Piper's book, Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, he makes a clear distinction at the very beginning of Chapter 1 that the reasoning behind his book stems from the ultimate reality that God is the supreme value in and above the universe. I found that comforting, knowing that this book was going to focus on suffering without giving God the easy way out. After reading through it, I realized that this is exactly the focus that Piper intended to convey in his writing. It gives a very heartfelt and sincere, yet firm message that the Lord allows all things according to His will and purpose.

Throughout scripture we are reminded of God's purposes in suffering and the vital role that it plays in strengthening our faith and dependency on God. I had not yet come to grasp however, (until reading this book) that many times suffering is the cost of obedience. I think too often we are told that obedience leads to greater fulfillment and contentment in Christ. Ultimately, yes, but there is definitely something to be said for individuals that choose to be obedient, knowing full well that the road is paved with suffering.

I also found it interesting that this type of suffering leads not only to greater obedience but also to greater compassion. This wouldn't have been my natural inclination. I don't usually think about the Apostle Paul, Jeremiah the Prophet, or King David as being very compassionate. Perhaps this is due to their human perspective in relation to their sufferings and the call on their lives. However, you can not read the words of Christ and not sense the compassion that he has for us.

I would and have been recommending this book to a number of my friends. Excellent read!

When the condition of suffering is brought up in today's society, relatively few people can identify with. The modern world, more specifically Western society in all its affluence, is populated with denizens that spend most of their brief lives attempting to avoid suffering. People look to various techniques or goods in their quest to minimize any type of suffering for a mere hint of such a condition is undesirable. From drugs, money, sex, food, entertainment, religion and so on are being utilized for escapism as the reality of suffering becomes too much. As Christians, how are we to endure suffering or even explain it? All too often I hear Christians ask the question of why bad things happen to good people?

The recently released book Suffering and the Sovereignty of God edited by John Piper and Justin Taylor aim to answer the question of suffering from a biblical basis. Based on the 2005 Desiring God National Conference of the same name, the editors have assembled the speakers from that event to put to paper the content of their sessions. If you attended the conference, the book's editors have arranged the various essays by themes instead of the actual order of each session and included additional material outside the conference relating to suffering.

The heart of the book is divided into three parts:

1. The Sovereignty of God in Suffering
2. The Purposes of God in Suffering
3. The Grace of God in Suffering

Part one contains two essays - one written by Pastor Piper and the other by Mark R Talbot. - that tackle the role of God's sovereignty in our suffering. Part two considers the "why" of suffering in four essays - two by Piper, one by Steve Saint, and one by Carl Ellis Jr. Part three closes out the book looking at grace in suffering with writings by David Powlison, Dustin Shramek, and Joni Eareckson Tada. The last part of the book contains appendices of Don't Waste Your Cancer by John Piper and David Powlison as well as a transcript of the Q&A session with Piper and Justin Taylor from the conference.

The arrangement of the chapters is purposeful, attempting to let each chapter build upon themes and concepts addressed. Even so, the chapters do not have to be read in order to benefit from the writings. In part one Piper shows how God is sovereign over the various methods Satan uses to cause suffering. As humans we all too easily attribute suffering to the Enemy and leave God out of the picture. Mark Talbot, in his essay, reiterates God's sovereignty and goodness through suffering and simultaneously engages the errant view of open theism. Then in part two the book covers the reason of "why" suffering exists. Here in this section Piper explains the ultimate reason for suffering is to "display the greatness of the glory of the grace of God." The second essay is based on a chapter from another of Piper's books Let the Nations Be Glad and works out some reasons how suffering affects a Christian. Steve Saint then further extends this line of thinking into relationships in missions and relates it to his own personal experiences. The final essay of the section by Carl Ellis Jr. parallels Saint's in some ways as he examines suffering in a horizontal sense of one human to another. Part three then engages how God's grace in suffering. David Powlison's essay helps to demonstrate how God meets us in our personal sufferings. There is no quick and easy answer as Dr Powlison aptly points out but he guides us through some biblical principles to help us out. Dustin Shramek reminds us of the immense pain that suffering produces. Though Christians may know the theologically correct answers to suffering, as humans the emotional and physical pain of suffering still exists and does not usually quickly pass. Closing out this final part of the book, Joni Eareckson Tada shows us how we are to place our hope and joy in God and not our own circumstances. Suffering tends to draw our gazes inward and on the Self which is our naturally sinful tendency instead of looking to God. The appendices serve as a coda for a few months after the conference both John Piper and David Powlison were diagnosed with prostate cancer. Don't Waste Your Cancer is Dr. Piper's pre-surgery meditation on his condition that God purposed in his life; Dr Powlison added his own thoughts to this writing shortly after being diagnosed himself. The Q&A portion gives Piper an opportunity to address some corollary issues tied into suffering as well as some personal insights.

Overall this book is immensely profitable whether you read it from cover to cover or skip around. The writers all engaged suffering horizontally while at the same time vertically. Despite the brevity of each chapter for a collaborative work such as this, the topics were handled with conciseness and depth. Suffering is an immensely personal condition that creates more difficulty in our already difficult human lives. Suffering and the Sovereignty of God helps guide us in the biblical truth Christians have that answer the hard questions when such circumstances arise and how we should bring this Truth to a dying world.

This book has some great essays. It provides a great mix of theology, and personal testimony, and narratives of how God uses suffering to progress the gospel. The question of suffering is very complex so having a variety of writers from diverse backgrounds attacking the issue from slightly different perspectives helps the reader to understand how God uses suffering to glorify Himself, to mature us in Christ, and to progress the gospel. Suffering can not always be explained, but we have a God who has suffered through his Son and that should bring great comfort to us. The most poignant essays were by Piper and Joni. Another good essay was Suffering and Missionaries. The book starts off with essays by Piper and Taylor putting suffering within the framework of God's sovereignty.

I haven't suffered much. I was humbled by stories of suffering in this book. The book was very encouraging because the authors of these essays were very honest in their struggles, but yet praised God for the suffering. Their endurance was not their effort, but God's strength working through them.

Like every other book I have read by Bishop Long, The Elect Lady has enlightened me to the Truth. This book is an excellent choice for anyone who felt like their life was interrupted at some point. It caused me to look back at some dreams that I once had, but were interrupted. I thank God, however, that my dreams were interrupted. The outcome was/is better with His plan in action! The Elect Lady encourages readers to keep moving forward in what God has elected us to do no matter what obstacles show up. It reminds us that what God has for us is for our good and it is not to destroy us. I may not have done a great job writing a review on this book, but Bishop Long has done an excellent job writing this book in the Spirit of God. I have recommended this book to several people since I read it. I even purchased it for others as a gift:-) Go pick a copy of The Elect Lady today!

This is a wonderful book created by one of the greatest Pastors in the world! This is a book for every woman. It is inspirational and empowering.

I have begun to read "The Elect Lady" by Bishop Eddie Long. What I have read, is not only inspiring, but also gives women hope for what their futures hold. I enjoy listening to Bishop Long, and now, I am enjoying his book. I hope to read more of his writing.

Bishop Long has out-done himself! I plan to buy more copies for my friends!!! To GOD be the GLORY!!!

This is an excellent book. I read through this book so quickly. It made me cry because God was speaking to me thru my pastor Bishop Eddie L. Long. He is truly a Man of God!!! I have all of his books and this one is excellent just like his other books, but it's different. His other books did not make me cry.

First Lady Vanessa Long has a chapter in this book and it is very eye-opening. She was completely honest about how she felt when she met Bishop Long and she also spoke about being an Elect Lady and how we are too Elect Ladies. She also spoke about her deferred dreams. I will not tell you any more because I don't want to give away the book.

If you are a Woman that had her life interrupted and had a deferred dream and regret it or think that your life is over you will realize after reading this book how God interrupted your life and your life is NOT over!!! God loves you so much...you must also think about the Virgin Mary her life too was interrupted....she was 13 engaged to Joseph and pregnant by God! Now think about that for a second....just ponder that in your mind for a moment...she was an 'outcast' and I'm certain almost everyone she ever knew treated her that way. How could she even find the words to explain what she was going through? She couldn't. She didn't have too because God took care of that!

God interrupts our lives for a reason. At the time we may not understand it, but if we continue to seek the kingdom of God first and foremost it will all pan out and make sense to us later.

This book is truly amazing! I bought 2 books and gave one of them to my Mother for her birthday and she loves it!! I also purchased this book from Amazon.com. They have the best price so far and thier service is always excellent.

Bishop Long spoke about how his Mother is an Elect Lady! How her dreams was deferred..if it wasn't for her he wouldn't be where he is!

Some of you may feel that 'If I didn't have these children my life would have been so different!' Please read this book. You will see that God ordered your steps and led the way. Just keep on keepin' on and be that Woman and God will continue to order your steps!

He even talks about Women that had abortions in the past! He is in no way condemming them, but he is reminding you that God still loves you regardless of what you did!

All I have left to say is if you REALLY want a book that will change the way you feel about life in general you will want to purchase this book. Not just for yourself, but for a friend.

Enjoy reading! I just wish this book was longer! Be Blessed.
