The Power of the Prophetic Blessing Book Review

Book Review of The Power of the Prophetic Blessing

  by John Hagee
"An astonishing revelation for a new generation. "

REVIEW BY: L. Bankhead

      This new offering from New York Times Best-Selling author, John Hagee, comes under controversy and argument from the get-go.  Check out any of the major book sellers and you will find mixed reviews.  Hagee maintains that if we really understood, received and believed the blessings that are dispersed throughout Scripture that our lives would be radically changed and God's favor would be lavished upon us.  I can understand why so many people would find disputation with this claim.  But, I do believe they aren't looking at the heart of the book and of Hagee.  He's encouraging you to speak blessing and agreement with God's Word over your loved ones, and those that you encounter.  How can that be unacceptable?  Hagee is taking God's Word at it's verifiable value; drawing from the inerrant Word and presenting promises of blessing that God has been fulfilling since time began.  I personally do not believe the the Old Testament blessings closed with the Old Covenant.  I believe God is the great I AM - the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
     My husband and I read this book together in the evenings; and both came to the conclusion that God's blessings are for today, are still relevant and are full of power.  We do choose to speak over our daughter and each other with God's prophetic blessings over our lives.  I do speak favorably of this book - but if you are a know-it-all, quarrelsome person, than this book probably isn't for you.  If you are looking for more understanding and direction to affirm the ones you love, than pick up a copy.  If you want to foster and cultivate the confidence that God has set apart for you - you should read this.  Or if you want to WIN A FREE COPY - ENTER TO WIN HERE!

10 Christians Everyone Should Know Book Review

Book Review of 10 Christians Everyone Should Know

  by John Perry (editor)
"Lives of the faithful and what they mean to you. "

REVIEW BY: L. Bankhead

      This book is a compilation of short biographies on 10 Christians from history that have made an impact on the future.   The personalities are spread across the ages, ranging from circa 380 - 2008, and are set in chronological order.   The magnificent people that are covered are:

• Saint Patrick
• Galileo
• Anne Bradstreet
• John Bunyan
• Johann Sebastian Bach
• Jane Austen
• D. L. Moody
• George Washington Carver
• Sergeant York
• William F. Buckley, Jr.  

     I thoroughly enjoyed reading each biography.  The condensed versions of each persons life story and world impact is very easy reading.  The authors give a satisfactory job at providing back story and a world history within each memoir.  I especially enjoyed Anne Bradstreet and Jane Austen, since I have previously delighted in their work.  They both exemplified strong and spirited women, that I could identify with.  I endorse this book for high school students and adults.  This is a great living book resources for students.  It's a quick way to learn about some of the godly people that have graced Earth.  You will be encouraged by their stories and educated about their periods in our Christian history and heritage.

Mondays With My Old Pastor Book Review

Book Review of Monday's With My Old Pastor

  by Jose Luis Navajo
"Sometimes, all we need is a reminder from someone who has walked before us."

      At the beginning of this book, Pastor Jose Navajo finds he has burned his candle at both ends and finds little left to enjoy about pastoring his church.  Day planners, people with problems and lack of inspiration has left him unmotivated to continue on with his ministry.  As a last ditch effort to regain ground, he goes to see his "old" pastor on a Monday.  His pastors message and guidance is so profound, that it leads to many more Monday's of visiting together.  Spoiler: As the Monday's go on, Navajo realizes that his old pastors health is quickly failing and he is coming close to death.  In these last weeks and days of life, a spring of godly wisdom pours from the old pastor into Navajo until his final breath.  

     My mind is still reeling after just finishing this book last night.  It's such a powerful read, that I could barely put it down; and finished it quickly.  Aside from the Bible, there is more truth, love, power, reflection, instruction and promise in this book, than any other book I've ever read.  Whether you are in the ministry or you are a follower of Christ, there is so much to glean from this book.  The fifteen principles that you find in it's pages and life changing and like jewels that you find yourself wanting to protect and cherish.  I cannot stress loudly and strongly enough how important this book is.  I will be buying a copy for my husband and my pastor today.  What a true blessing.  What notable encouragement.  This is honestly a book for all ages, walks of life and will forever be completely timeless and relevant.
