The Grace of God by Andy Stanley is a book that seeks to explain to people has in understanding of what grace is. The author also explains how God from the Old Testament is not any different from God in the New Testament, but what changes is our perception of God from the old to the new. The is showing us the Grace of our God in different stories from the bible.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it changed my prospective on life. The message is clear now to me is that grace is not fair, it is not deserved, and there is nothing we can do (or not do) to obtain grace (or lose it). Grace is a gift from our God…

The Treasure of God's Word

BY

JACK COUNTRYMAN

The Treasure of God’s Word by Jack Countryman is another gift book. It is an attractively hardcover book with a soft leathery feel. The pages have golden edge and the books general appearance is one of quality and value.

Unfortunately I was very disappointed in how little history there was to a book that is celebrating 400Th year of the King James Version of the Bible. I do appreciate the up lifting encouraging verses but I was expecting a lot more.

The Right To Lead

The Right to Lead

Learning Leadership Through Character and Courage

By John C. Maxwell

This is a great gift book for Father Day, graduation or anyone who is going into a leadership role.

The book is divided into 7 different sections: (1) Action, (2) Vision, (3) Sacrifice, (4) Risk, (5) Determination, (6) Service, and (7) Integrity – all areas that Maxwell believes make a good leader. Each section tells a story of a hero from the past and the present. However, some of the pages were pulled from other Maxwell books.

Over all it is a good little book to read…

THE VOICE OF PSALM - BOOK REVIEW

The voice of the Psalms comes from the Ecclesia Bible Society and published by Thomas Nelson.It is the book of Psalm presented in "THE VOICE" translation like a devotional book- is very will put together, an easy reading with a good format.

I enjoyed it very much. The book gives me another prospective of the psalms.The only thing I didn't like about the book was the layout of the Psalms and devotional readings. Written by Karen Moore and James F. Couch Jr.

At the end of the day is a good book to read!!
