CD Review and Giveaway: Laura Story's Open Hands

The giveaway winner was randomly chosen using random.org. The winner is Vinny Johnson. Congratulations!

Laura Story's new album, Open Hands, is now in stores. I love Laura's beautiful voice and passionate heart for God. Laura Story is a gifted song writer. This new album is filled with meaningful, worshipful, reflective songs. Below is the list of songs.

1. Death Was Arrested
2. Open Hands
3. You Came Running
4. Give You Faith

5. For the Love of My King

6. Awake My Soul (A 1000 Tongues)
7. Whisper
8. Every Word You Breathe
9. Majesty
10. Extraordinary
11. Grace Abounds

The first song, Death Was Arrested, reminds us of God's love, grace, & mercy and our life & freedom in Christ. One of my favorite songs in this album is Open Hands, a song about faith and surrender (featuring Third Day's Mac Powell). You Came Running talks about hope and comfort we find in God & His faithfulness. As a mom, I can relate to the song, Give You Faith, which shares my desire to teach my children about faith in God and to leave a legacy of faith. Another favorite is For the Love of My King, which is an adaptation of the hymn, "My Jesus, I Love Thee." Awake My Soul is an adaptation of the hymn, "O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing." Whisper is a song about waiting for the Lord in quiet trust and surrender. Every Word You Breathe is a prayerful song of revival. Majesty is a wonderful song of praise. I love the catchy, uplifting song, Extraordinary, which talks about God's extraordinary love for us. The last song, Grace Abounds, really ministers to my heart. God's grace truly abounds even when our faith is weak. I actually enjoyed every song. The songs resonate surrender, faith, hope, and encouragement. I highly recommend this album!

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...
