Spirit Led Woman

This book was a joy to review.  It covered such a wide range of topics. The advice and inspiration it offered was practical and easy to understand.  I felt like he was sitting down with a small group discussing the topics covered.  He didn't shy away from the hard questions but his delivery makes you receptive to the truth presented. Great material!

This was not my favorite book to review. I had a hard time getting into it and kept thinking I was missing some background of the story. My biggest disappointment was that it seemed to imply mankind could save itself. Because I personally believe Jesus Christ is the only thing that stops mankind from total destruction, I couldn't really delve into it wholeheartedly and it left me feeling like something important had been missed.

Growing up in the Assemblies of God in Tennessee, I knew the young Reggie Dabbs.  I remember him and his horn during youth conventions at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville.  I also went on an AIMS missions trip  when I was 16 that he also went on. What I remember about him was his big sense of humor and the way he could play that horn!  It is awesome to see what God has done in his life and to read his personal testimony.  It reminded me we never know what journey someone has had to walk until we take the time to get to know them and their story. Reggie's story is truly an inspiration to teenagers everywhere. His ministry in highs schools reflect his love for Christ and the youth of today.  I would recommend this book.

This book starts with a biography of Charles Spurgeon.  His life and work caused him to be called "the prince of preachers".  This book is a collection of sermons Spurgeon wrote about heaven.  the sermons are kept brief and some words have been changed to make for easier reading for the modern time. Randy Alcorn concludes each message with his own words pertaining to the sermon just given. It is designed to be used as a 50 day devotional read but I took it on vacation with me and read it in the car!  My family was with me and I enjoyed reading parts out loud to them.  I appreciate the fact that the book is totally Biblically based and real 'meat' instead of filled with fluff!
