Guess Who Noah's Boat

Who does not like a good children s book? My best friend has a little three year old ans a 1 year old who will be receiving this book and spending hours  having fun with it. That's how confidante I am that they will love this little book. It is a very sturdy board book that will stand up to little hands opening and closing the flaps many times!This book introduces the animals in Noah’s Ark, allowing children to guess which animal is hiding on each page.

This is very cute even though children do not learn  the true story of Noah and the flood. Nothing silly about it. With fun, rhyming text, each spread asks kids to guess which animal is heading toward the ark. The answer is revealed under the cleverly designed flap. With eye-catching illustrations and easy-to-understand text, Guess Who Noah'sBoat is sure to become a favorite.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kregel Publications in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Fearless Love - In the Midst of Terror

wow! It  has been a week since I posted but  it was well worth the wait. I was deeply touched by this book! It made me reconsider many things about what true love
really is all about. I have always felt a concern for people of the Islamic faith and worried that American Christians are perhaps 'turning them off' by their lack of patience and love. This is a challenging, convicting, uplifting book. It will even challenge you to examine your heart! It will push you to seek God. I highly recommend this volume!


Fearless Love gives answers and tools to overcome terrorism with transformation. It is written for those curious about the basic teachings of Islam, how God gives faith that overcomes the fear of suffering and death, how to reach out to Muslims, and how a relationship with Jesus Christ brings us to a growing fearless love. The Biblical teaching of martyrdom is a call to purposeful living and a bold witness of faith. The fifty true stories of courageous Christians and illustrations will bring encouragement, inspiration, and hope in these precarious days. Fearless Love is formatted as an eight week study that works well in small groups, Sunday schools, or as a personal study. It concludes with seventeen practical suggestions in sharing God's love with others. Rediscovering Jesus' Spirit of Martyrdom is certain to demonstrate to the reader the profound power of  christian love.

Pastor Witt is the author of Fearless Love, In the Midst of Terror and founder of Spirit of Martyrdom ministries. He has spoken in over 2,000 churches and Christian ministries in the United States, traveled throughout Canada and Mexico, visited fifteen countries in Europe, and spent three weeks in Israel at the Holy Land Institute for Biblical Studies. He has traveled to 46 nations total in his lifetime. He spent ten years as a mission representative for The Voice of the Martyrs.

His assistance to the persecuted church has taken him to 18 restricted nations. He has brought support and encouragement to believers in Laos, Sudan, Iran, Turkey, and Azerbaijan. He has preached in underground church meetings and taught in Bible schools in Vietnam, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia. In China, he met with house church leaders and personally witnessed their triumphant faith and courage. Most recently, he met with persecuted Christians in Mauritania, India, Egypt, Israel, Iraq, and Colombia. His heart has been touched, and his life changed, by their actions of love and faithfulness to Jesus, even when facing death. Pastor Witt desires to share their stories. He states, “The Church in America functions in greatest maturity when relationally connected to the persecuted family around the world. Jesus is not returning for an arm or leg but for the Bride of Christ.”

David earned his Bachelor’s of Arts Degree, graduating with honors from Westmont College, a Christian liberal arts college in Santa Barbara, CA. He was ordained a Pastor and Minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ in 1994, and spent a total of fourteen years in youth ministry. During this time he helped start a network of Christian youth ministries in his local area of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and participated in the Ministerial Alliance of Steamboat Springs. Pastor Witt was actively involved in Young Life, leading mission trips to inner city Denver and the country of Mexico, and was the Area Coordinator for Concerts of Prayer and National Day of Prayer.

The Evangelistic Zeal of George Whitefield

The Evangelistic Zeal of George Whitefield (Long Line of Godly Men Profile) (Long Line of Godly Men Profiles) 

by Steven J. Lawson (Author)

Several features make Dr. Lawson's latest work noteworthy but I will only mention one!. First, the book is very interesting and readable. It is filled with historical facts that help readers contextualize the arena that Whitefield ministered in - on both sides of the Atlantic.. This book came out in February of this year and is well worth the read.   Anyone interested in learning more about the life, theology and influence of George Whitefield should read this book. I highly recommend not only this book but this series  . Not a boring book but one that the entire family can enjoy!This book is short and approachable, yet packed with enough  knowledge for you to know  George  Whitefield very well!

Please note: Reformation Trust / Ligonier Ministries has provided me with an electronic version of this book for review purposes, and will be providing me with a hard copy edition in exchange for this review. They do not require positive reviews, nor have they edited or modified this review in any way.And I also agree with REV. John F. MacArthur that this is a book you can't put down once you picked it up.  This was an excellent book providing a look into the life of this great man of faith.I would recommend it most highly to pastors and other evangelical Christians whose zeal for God and spiritual wells have begun to run dry. But any one else will enjoy this volume too.

It is very difficult to adequately sum up so much content in just a few words, you will just have to read this book for your self. This is one of the greatest biographies ever written.”
