Book Review: Enfolded in God's Arms by Lisa Are Wulf

Enfolded in God's Arms is a 40-day devotional for women. It aims to help women find healing, hope, peace, strength, restoration, and growth through spending time with God in prayer and in His Word. We all have experienced hurts, pains, struggles, trials in some ways or another at some time in our lives. It's not always easy to let go of these burdens. You will find this devotional a soothing balm for your soul. The author offers helpful insights, Godly perspectives, practical advice, and wonderful doses of encouragement. The book is divided into four sections: A Time to Heal, A Time to Change, A Time with Jesus, and A Time to Grow. Each section has 10 reflections. Each reflection starts with a Bible verse, followed by a short devotional, an excerpt from a Psalm, a pause ("Be Still for a Silent Moment with God"), and pondering questions. It ends with a prayer and a blank space for readers to write down their thoughts.

This devotional is an enjoyable and uplifting read! The author effectively uses clever metaphors and colorful descriptions to help readers visualize various concepts and scenarios. I really appreciate that the author highlights God's truths, God's love, and God's presence throughout the book. I can tell that she really cares about hurting women and desires to help them overcome their struggles. Readers will be inspired to not let the past define them but to move forward with God-confidence. Christmas is approaching soon; this Christ-centered devotional would make a meaningful gift for your friends or relatives who may need healing and encouragement.

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
