Lord, I Give You This Day

Author Kay Arthur's Lord, I Give You This Day 366 Appointments With God was a rewarding experience for me.  I am grateful to Blogging for Books for the opportunity to get to know this writer.  I really enjoy her writing style and look forward to obtaining more of her books. This daily devotional beacons the reader to make a greater commitment to their service for Christ.  She explains how we can make God our center no matter what may befall us.  Highlighting many opportunities to please our Lord and draw closer to him, this book will walk us through many of the trials that we all

encounter.  With scripture, the author is able to uplift and encourage us everyday.  On January 3rd  she shares, '"Oh friend, let me assure you that no matter what changes are occurring in your life, in your job, in your family, in the nation there is always one stabilizing factor upon which you can rest: your God.  He is the immovable Rock.  You can hide in Him."'  Such inspiring words bring a hopeful start to each reader's morning.  If  you have been down and out, this book will bring you strength and courage.  Devotionals are awesome in that way, giving you enough to ponder on for  that day and than blessing your soul with something new on the next day. 

Recipe for Happyness~ Live Second

Author Doug Bender gives us the recipe for happyness in his recent daily reader "Live Second 365 ways to Make Jesus First".  His book describes this movement and the reader is also given tools online at http://www.iamsecond.com/join-the-movement/  to put these lessons into practice. 

This book is for anyone who is looking to enhance their relationship with God along with those who have reached the end of their rope and are tired of this world's misgivings.  If you are ready to give God control and be the type of character he intended us to be...Live Second is the answer.  Learning to lean on Jesus and fully submit our wills is difficult because it goes against our human nature but with God's Spirit we can overcome all obstacles.  There is no greater joy than living in the service of our King and our brothers and sisters.  Step by step and day by day Doug Bender gives us inspiration to continue on this sacred journey.   The writer supplies the student with plenty of support through online resources and websites.  We all can be the light that this dark world so badly needs, can you think of a higher calling?  This marvelous book is easy to read and understand and will be an uplift to the spirits of those who read it.  I am grateful to Booksneeze for the opportunity to review this book which is life-changing in exchange for my honest review.
