The Point Changes Lifes

The Point by William E. Jefferson takes us to the gorgeous Isle of Estillyen where Goodwin & his wife, Hollie Macbreeze try to find some respite from her illness.  Once there they encounter the bitter Oban Ironbout who has been beat up with life's uncertainties.  His soul is tortured.  In this Christian Fiction novel we journey with the three through their struggles to find meaning and faith.  Surrounded by story telling monks they learn about the very real struggle between the forces of darkness and the light.  The monks share pieces of scripture in a poetic way.  The story is deep and caused me to spend a lot of time in contemplation.  Ordinarily I prefer non-fiction Christian books but there is a lot of charm and sweet reflection throughout it's pages.  William E. Jefferson's mode of writing is enchanting and never boring, making it a book you won't want to put down.  I was given the honor of reading this book for Handlebar Publishing.  I definitely would recommend.
 

Professional Landscaping Without The Cost ~ With Amdro Powerflex System And A Contest!

 

Moving to the country with two acres of land was my spouse's idea, with no thought of the upkeep beforehand we jumped on the stellar deal we got on our new home.  With expenses being tight we couldn't afford professional landscaper's and when Bzz Agent gave me the opportunity to try Amdro Powerflex Pest & Weed System I immediately got on board.  Our front lawn was full of dandelions prior to using this application.  As seen in photo below. 

 

Both my husband and I didn't know what to expect but we were excited to try Amdro.  This system is very easy to use.  Not only that but it is inexpensive.  The package comes complete with Lawn Weed Killer to use on Dandelions ,Chickweeds,Wild Onions and Other Weeds; Yard & Perimeter Outdoor Insect Killer for beetles, ants and roaches; Home Pest Indoor Insect Killer for ants, roaches and indoor insects Plus Weed & Grass Killer for all types of weeds and grasses.  Most places are selling this awesome package for under $15.00. Right now I am offering  two $4.00 off coupons for my readers.  Sign up for my blog and leave a comment below to be entered in this contest.  I will pick two winners one week from today, May 27,2013.  What I consider the biggest perk of Amdro Powerflex is how simple it is to use.  There is no measuring, no mixing and no mess.  Just snap on the appropriate cartridge that you want to use and fill the gallon jug it comes with with water.  I went around spraying the weeds and was astounded to find that Amdro started working right away.  Our lawn looked superb in less than twenty four hours. 

 

Next my husband wants to do the cracks in the driveway and I'll need the outdoor pest application for my vegetable plants this summer.  We got everything we needed in the Amdro Powerflex Pest & Weed System and we are set for the summer.  If you run out of an application, you can purchase them separately.  Why pay a fortune for landscapers if you can get the job done by yourself  for a fraction of the cost?

Rod Stewart's "Time" Cd's Preeminence ~ Star's Don't Stop Shining

 

Much to my pleasant surprise, after twenty years Rod Stewart is still kicking it!  Since receiving my preview copy from the One2One Network, I've been playing the album over and over.  I lost count of my favorites and know without a doubt many of the songs will make #1.  And to think that Rod Stewart wrote and produced 11 of the 12 tracks.  Don't want to give my age away but I was a huge fan in the seventies and I say this CD is the best yet we have heard from Stewart.  Like wine his talent as gracefully aged with Time and I can't wait to hear what more he has to offer.  It's very rare that a superstar of one generation can stay away so long and offer music that would fit in with today's generation.  He is just that kind of stellar performer.  Mark my words that "Can't Stop Me Now" and "It's Over" will be atop the music charts once this awesome cd releases.  You will be able to purchase tomorrow.  Rod Stewart will be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel tonight; See him on "The Voice" on May 8th and "Live With Kelly & Michael" on May 11th.  This album is so delicious it makes me wonder what took him so long?

 

Rebekah Lyons Criticizes Treatment for Depression Will Send Wrong Message

                  

 

As a former housebound agoraphobic due to chronic anxiety attacks and concurrent depression it was difficult for me to read Rebekah Lyons Freefall to Fly  A Breathtaking Journey.  Her book covers her struggles with anxiety and depression but she does not seek professional help and discourages anyone who uses antidepressants.  Instead of being uplifting I felt this book proposed it was wrong to get the appropriate treatment which is available.  Unfortunately there is a lot about mental illness she does not know and should not be making unfounded suggestions.  Its sad because this just contributes to the ignorance that is already associated with depression.  I am a Christian who believes that God blesses doctors with the knowledge they have to treat them,  Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain, therefore medication is given to stabilize it's victims just as a person who is diabetes needs insulin.  Once I got the appropriate treatment which was a combination of therapy, medication and prayers I overcame the agoraphobia.  Mine is such a success story that it ended up in The Detroit News.  To discourage anyone who is suffering from depression from seeking treatment is just wrong.

This is one of the few books I highly do not recommend. 

Lucado Explains How to Ensure Your Place in Heaven

  Numerous publications have been printed about Heaven recently, no doubt mankind is looking up for encouragement as this World sinks deeper into darkness.  Being a fan of this subject, I've had an opportunity to read the majority of these books yet Max Lucado brings fresh awareness and imperative information on this popular subject.  Max seems to excel and bring to the reader much more than the average content. Although it is a joy to read how grand Heaven will be and I would be the last to say that I tire of hearing about this yet Mr. Lucado goes a step further by supplying to us the knowledge of how to ensure our chance of getting there.  Using scripture, the author reminds us ''Not everyone who say's 'You are our Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven"' Matthew 7:21.  Max directs his readers to dig deeper into the Word of God so that they may be properly prepared and ready when Christ calls us home.  He explains how we must be spiritually clothed , '"But clothed yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ and forget about satisfying your sinful self"' Romans 13:14.  Not mincing any words to gain favor, the author's only goal is to bring us the truth.  This New York Times  best selling author speaks boldly and specifically about what God expects from his children. As always, I am blown away and encouraged by Lucado's newest venture.  It astounds me that he is always able to exceed my expectations and teach me new, revelant points about our walk with God. I had the honor to review this book for Book Sneeze in exchange for my thoughts.  If you yearn for that place where there will be no more pain or sorrow than this book is for you.  If you are down in the Valley and feel overwhelmed by the trials and disappointments in your life...this book is for you.  If you can't see the rainbow and pot of gold as the storms continue to beat on your household...this is for you and if you want to see your loved ones that have passed on again, invest your time in reading this stellar book for the sake of  your soul's eternity.
