You Can Discover Your Purpose! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This devotional is excellent! I have enjoyed the layout which offers biblical examples, as well as everyday life examples and questions for personal contemplation. Dr. Katie Brazelton writes in a way that relates to women in all seasons of life. This devotional can help you press through the distractions and clear out the clutter to see where you've been and where you are at. As you work through each day of the devotional, and seek the Lord, you will discover where you are going, and the purpose He has for you.

In Praying on Purpose, you are asked for insights, prayers and action steps. As I read the stories, struggles and sucesses of other women I was amazed at how many insights were there for me.... This book was very inspiriational and a great devotional tool that I will read and re-read..

Praying for Purpose for Women: A Prayer Experience That Will Change Your Life Forever (Pathway to Purpose) I ordered the English version of this book as well as a companion book by the same author. I was sent the Spanish version of this book & I'm still waiting to receive the English verson.

Editorial Review:

SPANISH EDITION. Includes insights from modern-day role models, examples of Biblical characters, specific questions to ask yourself, and much more.

Editorial Review:

Friends. You gotta have 'em, but sometimes they drive you crazy. You love 'em, but sometimes they make you mad. They'll help you through a crisis...unless they are the crisis.

So What's The Deal?

Friends are more than just the people you hang out with. They make you laugh, they keep your secrets, they offer advice (some good, some bad), they give you a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes they move away, or betray your trust, or flake out, but mostly they are the people who are always there for you. And they know you'll be there when they need you most. Because that's what it means to be a friend.

Sometimes friendship is overwhelming, sometimes it's confusing, sometimes you feel like you don't have a friend in the world, buy don't worry, it's like that for everyone. That's what the stories in this book are all about. They're from real teens, and they're about the bizarre, difficult and wonderful things that really happened to them and their friends.

Put that together with weird facts, cool graphics, fun advice and quizzes designed to help you figure what you and your friends are all about, and you've got the real deal on friendship

Getting to know the 3rd person of the Trinity 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Essentially the main point is that the Holy Spirit is a person, not merely some ethereal force. There are in fact many Bible verses to support this and I found this book of great help in my Christian walk - though I don't believe that it should fully substitute for learning the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit.

I would recommend it

Godbless!

Editorial Review:

Cuando Buenos dias, Espiritu Santo entro en escena, de inmediato alcanzo los primeros lugares de popularidad y ventas y redefinio el pensamiento del creyente acerca de su relacion con el Espiritu Santo.

Comenzando con un dramatico encuentro, este libro desvela el transito poco comun de Hinn hacia un entendimiento de y companerismo con el Espiritu Santo. Complementado con una guia de estudio para usar en forma personal o en grupo Buenos dias, Espiritu Santo lo llevara a descubrir:

• La forma de identificar la voz del Espiritu Santo
• Los siete pasos para una vida de oracion mas efectiva
• La fuente y proposito de la uncion de Dios
• La libertad del miedo al pecado "imperdonable"
• El plan maestro de Dios para su vida

Lots of things you were never told. 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I really loved reading this book and had a hard time putting it down. It reads much like the Old Testament except the main characters are our forefathers. There is a lot of information in this book that they never told us in school, but should have. The authors of this book tell where they got the information and did a great job putting this book together. I wish I would have read it years ago. It's one of those books you want to pass on to others after you read it.

An amazingly well-researched book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book details how to achieve great things by serving God first. It shows us what we must do to get our country back on the track of democracy. Even though it seems like we have completely lost our way, all we have to do is turn whole-heartedly to God and ask for His help. The story of how our forefathers did this is wonderful and inspiring.

A unique perspective on America's spiritual roots. 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This volume of early American history is limited in its scope, covering a period of about 300 years from Columbus through the colonial era, the Revolution, and the Washington presidency. Its purpose, however, is not merely to chronologize these events, but to examine them from a spiritual perspective. Peter Marshall and David Manuel, both Yale alumni, seek to discover our country's earliest spiritual heritage and how it relates to the moral and cultural degeneration they were observing in 1977, and that continues today. While the book is not without its flaws, I think it offers a critically important and often purposefully omitted piece of the historical puzzle regarding the roots of America.

The authors begin with Columbus, whose early missionary ardor to bear the light of Christ to the New World was ultimately corrupted by the powerful lures of wealth, prestige and power. Next come fairly detailed examinations of the colonies at Jamestown, Plymouth, Salem and Boston. Of particular emphasis, again, were the spiritual actors, such as the Franciscans, Jesuits, Pilgrims and Puritans. Throughout, the authors provide a quite unvarnished look at the shortcomings of all of these personalities, but also strip away the false images and caricatures of them that are so prevalent in modern scholarship. In particular, they restore some desperately needed balance to the discussion of the Pilgrims and Puritans.

The thing that gives this book such strong credibility, as with any good history, is the authors' heavy reliance on primary sources, particularly from Columbus, Bradford, the Mathers, Winthrop, Washington, Adams and many others. Their own writings reveal much about the deep Christian faith of our country's founders, much that is never mentioned or even considered a valid topic of discussion in most modern (i.e., revisionistic) history books. Over and over, the hand of God's providence is highlighted, whether in the survival of the early colonies, or the war for independence, or the unlikely success of the Constitutional Convention.

My key criticism of the book, however, is the extent to which the authors presume to tell us what the will of God was or was not in various situations. In so doing, they depart from the demands of the documentary evidence, and thus take what are, in my opinion, speculative leaps that are impermissible for historians. I understand the authors' tendency to surmise such things from surrounding circumstances, but just as I found this kind of speculation to be objectionable in the work of Will Durant, that is equally true here.

Still, this history was written by Christians for Christians, and the authors make no bones about that. As a result, they are prone to occasionally slip into sermonizing as they consider spiritual parallels between conditions in the 17th and 20th centuries. The book also ends with a call to national repentence and a reestablishment of the Covenant Way that marked the lives of the first colonials. As a committed Christian, I am comfortable with this perspective because all knowledge is God's knowledge and may be fairly integrated in this way. Secularists, however, will likely find this aspect of the book distracting. Nevertheless, the value of this book for filling in an important gap in most people's historical knowledge cannot be overstated.

Editorial Review:

A compelling behind-the-scenes look at America's godly beginnings, ably narrated by the authors. 180 minutes on 2 cassettes.

Hearing God 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I found this book to be very helpful. I struggle to hear the Lord and after I was loaned a copy of this book from a friend, I opted to buy one for myself.

I definatly urge anyone to purchase it if they are having the same problems.

Editorial Review:

From a close associate of Richard Foster, here is a profound understanding of how to hear God in today's busy world. The Christian claim that it is possible to have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe is increasingly under threat in the modern world. With the sound of society and the speed of living increasing year by year, is it really possible to hear from God and be in communication with him? Dallas Willard says an emphatic "yes". In this ground breaking book, he reveals how "hearing God" is actually possible. He explains how to listen for God's voice in unexpected places, how to experience the "still small voice", and how to become a mature person of discernment. Richard Foster says this is "the best book on divine guidance I have read" Bill Hybels says "few books have challenged me like this one" This book will profoundly affect every reader.

**TEEN READER**BEST BOOK I EVER READ! It is truely AMAZING 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I have to say reading the comment above made me pretty sad. This book was not sending mixed messages and it is definately NOT telling you to be popular and that your parents will only love you more if you get good grades. This book is simply about helping yourself become more of what you want and getting more out of the life you were delt with. It makes me so sad to hear bad things about this book becuase that review probably stopped someone from buying this amazing book.

This book helped me through the toughest times in my life, it works with you and helps you see what is behind the "my life is perfect" mask that so many teens have. Amazing book, it changed who I am and how I act. For instance, in one chapter it talks about how in arguments if you just talk even if someone is yelling at you, you are not being passive, but in turn arguments turn into talks a lot more often. So as a test i followed this advice becuase i had just moved in with a step-sister my own age and we were not getting along very well. Now, that we stopped fighting (and i give all credit to this book) we are able to talk about what is bothering us and not fight. We couldnt be closer now. And that is exactally the reason i would recommend this book to ANYONE, it helps with topics like that without barking orders or telling you what you need to do or you suck as was stated above. This is an EXCELLENT book. BEST BOOK I EVER READ!!!!!

Editorial Review:

Jay McGraw was tired of self-help books directed at teens that didn't actually talk to teens. He responded by writing the New York Times best-selling Life Strategies For Teens, which not only spoke to teens, but in their own language. Based on his father Dr. Phillip C. McGraw's best-selling Life Strategies, Jay's book doesn't tell teens what to do or who to be, but rather how to live life best by using the Ten Life Laws and making the journey to adulthood more fulfilling. This calendar, a reissue of the 2003 edition, deals with real teen issues such as popularity, peer pressure, ambition and ambivalence. It encourages teens to improve relationships with parents and siblings, teachers and friends. Using language that speaks to teens, each daily quote will teach teens how to feel more in control of their lives and future, and help launch them toward success.

Great Format/Additions 5 out of 5 stars.

I love the layout of this Bible and the little additions the editor has made. There are little boxes throughout that include various things to think about and how to put the stories from the Bible into our own personal lives. I really love this Bible and that's probably one of the reasons my church uses it for ALL of our youth!

Editorial Review:

Teens love this Bible because its articles are more indepth, it touches on topics deeply important to them, and it speaks in language they can understand. This revised edition includes a concordance, sixty more articles to help young people pray, study, and live the Bible, an expanded lectionary reading plan, nine full-color maps, eight reading plans, four special indexes, a full-color timeline, and four pages of full-color maps.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I first read this book on sexual purity as an eighth-grader. When I decided to reread it for a college class, I discovered its insights are equally valuable (if not more so!) to a twenty-year-old college student. As Dannah Gresh illustrates seven truths about sexual purity, she also shares personal stories - some celebratory, others shameful - which every adolescent female can relate to, whether she's been in a relationship or not. Gresh covers a lot in under 200 pages: she urges girls to seek healing in a close relationship with God, offers clothing advice, and explores the more-than-skin-deep definition of purity. Although Gresh's target audience appears to be teen girls, I think women in their twenties could benefit from it as well. The text is easy-to-read (always important when an author tackles such difficult subjects) and the message very moving. There are a lot of purity/love/dating books floating around, but this is my all-time favorite because of its practicality, straightforwardness, and thorough treatment of the subject matter.

Editorial Review:

'As a mother of two teenage daughters, I cannot think of any book more beautifully inspiring than And the Bride Wore White. My daughters love Dannah's insights, humor and her call for a life without regrets...I am deeply grateful for the realistic role model she is for my daughters...she has changed their lives and in doing so she has changed mine.' Tammy Maltby, author and co-host of Emmy nominated Aspiring Women.Dannah Gresh's And the Bride Wore White exposes our culture's lies about sex, and prepares young women and girls for the world's pressures. In this special edition there will be dozens of stories/personal testimonies of hurt and healing...first time salvations...confessions to parents that lead to accountability...and lots of wedding proposals, of course.

An inspirational book 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul ll is a great book written by teenagers and some adults about life. It teaches us about life and how to deal with it. It shows us that no matter where you came form, what you look like, or how you act, almost all teenagers are the same. This book is an inspiration to everyone.
This book influences me because it inspires me to become a better person. Before I read this book I thought, "Oh this book is just some boo full of made-up stories", but as I continued to read into it more, I thought" Wow this is a really great book". This book tells you that all teens go through the same stuff. It shows you that your not alone, and with faith and courage you can overcome most obstacles. This book is filled amazing stories of love depression, and hope. I encourage everyone to read this book.

Editorial Review:

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II offers more inspiring stories to help you master the game we call life. Today's teens have ever more issues and social pressures to juggle than young adults just 20 years ago. This book, like its predecessor, can be your guide - a beacon in the darkness, a safe haven in a storm, a warm hug in the cold and a respite from loneliness. There's no preaching as to what you should and shouldn't do. Instead, this book is full of teens sharing their experiences on learning to accept like, becoming the best person you can be, being happy with who you are, and loving yourself - no matter what.
