Book Review: Grace Revealed

In this life, trials are inevitable. Sooner or later we all face some kind of trials. Grace Revealed tells nineteen true stories of people who have endured various trials & suffering and have experienced God's amazing grace that pursues them, saves them, transforms them, sanctifies them, and sustains them. In addition, God's inexhaustible grace empowers them to serve Him by serving others. Their struggles include addictions, abuse, loss, tragedy, pain, grief, guilt, and more. When they encountered God's grace, mercy, love, redemption, and forgiveness, they received strength, comfort, relief, recovery, renewal, and more. These raw and beautiful testimonies are a living proof of God's presence, provision, protection, promise, and power. Hope, healing, freedom, peace, and joy are available to all who cry out to God.

Each story ends with Bible verses that have helped the story's contributor, Fred Sievert's thoughts on the story, and some thought-provoking questions for personal reflection. The last chapter, "Your Access to Grace--Assurances from Jesus" summarizes the key common elements found in all the stories told in the book. Grace Revealed will help you be aware of how God's grace is at work and revealed in your own lives. God knew my family and I needed this book during this time. My husband lost his mom last year and just lost his only brother at the beginning of this month. Grief upon grief. Yet, we've also seen grace upon grace. I'm thankful for all the people who courageously shared their stories which inspire and encourage others, including me. I highly recommend this grace-filled, Scriptures-packed, hope-infused book!

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...

Book Review: Immeasurably More: 100 Devotions on God's Extravagant Grace by Deb Burma

I was excited to review this devotional book for 3 reasons: 1. I collect devotional books, 2. I'm a big fan of God's grace, and 3. The theme of our church's women retreat this year (this weekend) is Ephesians 3: 20-21, " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory ." which is also the theme for this book. Immeasurably More is a beautiful and meaningful devotional journal. It has 100 devotions organized into 10 different topics (grace, love, power, provision, purpose, peace, joy, gifts, rest, and life). Each devotion starts with Scriptures and ends with journaling and prayer prompts. This journal can be used individually or in a group study. I have been blessed and refreshed by God's wondrous truths and Godly insights found in this book. These encouraging, inspiring devotions invite readers to bask in God's goodness and to experience His never-ending, jaw-drop...
