Blessings from the Throne of God!

The River of God: Blessings from the Throne to the Uttermost Parts of the Earth 

This book was well worth the read!I enjoyed how this book started out with Geneses. As I read this book I asked the Lord to give me  eyes to see and ears to hear! Then the author moves us on to Revelations to show how this  book corresponds with the Bible! I enjoyed the numerous verses in this book.  It was good to see how God caused evil to turn on itself. The more I was drawn into this book , the more I saw that I needed yo cleanse my heart! The author points out  "we must place our hearts on the  alter until the Lord has  effected a complete  cleansing. Become a living  sacrifice."

The River of God opens with the river in the garden of Eden, defines God’s plans through biblical prophecy, numerology, and typology, and culminates in Revelation with the pure river of life proceeding from the throne of God for His people.

Russell Stendal, a former hostage of Colombian rebels, is a lifelong missionary to that same group in the jungles of Colombia. He is an influential friend to military and government leaders in Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, and the United States. Russell’s ministry shares the gospel via twelve radio stations, hundreds of thousands of Bibles, books, and movies distributed through airplane parachute drops, and numerous speaking engagements for groups of leaders, prisoners, and individuals. Russell goes wherever the Lord leads, whether it’s to speak with a president or go deep into the jungle to help an individual in trouble. He has witnessed thousands commit their lives to Christ.

So often this book made me stop and think :"On the outside does it  appear I am  glorifying  God, but on the inside  everything is rotten.' I really enjoyed the authors   writing and learned a lot about a hard book in the Bible - Revelations! For more info go to

 Thanks for letting me review this book 

Just read

I tried to like this book. I took the time to read every chapter in it but I found that I was drowning in it.  I read it again just to see if I could take notes and I was disappointed. Instead of teaching me new things it made me wonder at many parts. This book was to modern for me. I did not like some of the questions  What enables some to survive as Christians when so many others have faltered? This left one hanging instead of telling answers. instead of showing that the person who left was not saved it lead one to believe the person was just back sliding.

But on the other hand I could appreciate some things about the book . There are good topics to make you think. I guess it is just me who found the topics were not down to earth enough.   Major topics in the Christian beliefs section include the reliability of the Bible, evil, hell, and the role of doubt, while the practices section is equally deep, with chapters on sin, the role of money, evangelizing, and the Holy Spirit.  See for your self why you may not want to purchase .http://www.barnesandnoble.com/sample/read/9780825443312  May be his other books are better.

I also loved how they show you what to do with left over pulp! 

Carrot Bread
As you will notice once you start getting your juice on, juicing means pulp. A lot of pulp can build up when you extract the juice from your produce. The amount depends on the type of juicer you have, how much produce you are using, and how many times you run it through the machine. When you’re finished juicing, don’t just toss all that yummy pulp! It is full of nutrition and fiber, and it can be incorporated into some delicious recipes, like this wonderful carrot bread.
Makes 6 to 8 servings (about 9 pieces)
11⁄2 cups carrot pulp
4 organic eggs
1⁄4 cup melted organic butter or ghee (clarified butter)
1 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Juice of 1⁄2 small lemon
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1⁄2 cup walnuts (optional)
2 tablespoons raisins (optional)
Preheat the oven to 325˚F and place a tray of water in the bottom of the oven. Line an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a generous trim.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the carrot pulp, eggs, butter, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice, vinegar, vanilla, and maple syrup. Add this to the carrot mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in the walnuts and raisins.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 50 to 70 minutes.
Allow the bread to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Remove the bread from the dish and let it cool on a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temp-erature. The bread will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
