Book Review: Undistorted God
Undistorted God
Reclaiming Faith Despite the Cultural Noise
Ray Waddle
Copyright 2014
I believe this is a book that should be added to your personsal library. It would be well worth the investment. Undistorted God is a wonderful tool for Christians. This books reminds us that God Is the Creator not us.
We are reminded too that it does not take doctoral hairsplitting to make a difference sometimes we just nred to take action. We need to get involved in some way.
The Readers guide and conversation discussions at the endbof the book are a great tool to allow you to delve deeper into the book, and to perhaps get more out of the book, it would be ideal for a small group study.
I give this book Five out of Five Stars...

This study reminds us that the prophet Jeremiah was called to surrender in the midst of his hardships. This book reminds us that God does not want to hear our excuses.
This would make a great study for either group or even individual study, it is a reminder that no matter what we go through we can surrender it to the Lord and he will help us through.
I give this Bible Study five out of five stars...

Book Review: Rich In Love
Rich In Love
When God Rescues Messy People
Irene Garcia, Lissa Halls Johnson
Copyright 2014
This is a story of how God redeems messy people. We are reminded too that just because it looks like a person has everything on the outside does not mean its true. Some people are very good at hiding how they truly feel.
We see what alcoholism can do to a relationship and we see also how God can create something new from people who seem broken to the world.
Irene talks about raising a daughter with multiple physical and mental issues as well as an adopted Son and later goes on to tell about her Sons battle with Cancer.
I give Rich In Love five out of five stars.
Happy Reading...
