Book Review: In God We Trust

In God We Trust?

A Challenge to American Evangelicals
Patrick Nachtigall
Warner Press
Pub Date   Jan 5 2015

This book is a call to American Evangelicals a reminder that America was founded on the freedom of religion.  This book also points out that although many look at the United States as the wealthiest nation some nations like China have more income per capita but they also have lower living standards.  And the author also points out the issues of the "prosperity gospel " but it also points out the fact that the American Church is often generous offering food and shelter to the down and out.

We are told to be warned about those who claim to know when the world is going to end because they cannot know the day or the hour only God himself knows.  It is also pointed out that American Evangelicals are called to spread the gospel around the world.

This book was both well written sand well researched and was full of interesting facts and figures.

Book Review:Beyond I Do

Beyond I Do
Jennifer Slattery
New Hope Publishers

2014

Ainsley is engaged to be married to a psychiatrist and soon to be published author named Richard Hollis the only problem with that is that he has a need to always rescue her.  That is not the biggest problem though the biggest issue is that Ainsley is a Christian and is not sure if Richard is.

Beyond I Do is a story of romance but it is so much more than that, it is a story of making decisions that may very well hurt in order to be right with the Lord.  It is the story of Ainsley's growing faith and the love she feels with Richard as well.

I give this novel five out of five Stars.

Book Review: Why Am I Still Single

Why Am I Still Single?

 

Advice for Christian Single Women

Winnie Mbala

Xulon Press

Pub Date   Sep 22 2014

This book poses the question : What is it to find a mate?  This book then points out one common misconception and that is men and women are not created equally when in fact the Bible in Genesis 1 points out that we are indeed.  This book also points out that a woman using her God given gifts should not be looked at as a woman competing with a man but instead pursuing her God given talents.  We are also reminded that a born again Christian Woman should not be unequally yoked with a non believer.

Why Am I Single reminds us the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to move in our lives and relationships.  The author also points out that Faith enables woman to believe and not settle than anything less than God's best.

The author points out something we so often tend to gloss over in today's society and that is the importance of saving ourselves for marriage.  She points out that we should save our virginity until we get married.  

I  would recommend this book to Single Women who are looking to find and even Marry a Godly man.

I give this book five out of five stars.
