FAITH CAMP BOOKS! BENGT WEDEMALM, 'IN HIS MAJESTY'S SERVICE' AND LISA BEVERE 'LIONESS ARISING'

FAITH CAMP BOOKS!

I had such a great time at Faith camp! It was truly awesome one of the great things was the two books I came home with! Its actually a good story! I decided in the morning I was going to buy Bengt Wedemalm's book 'in his majestys service' I couldn't wait to have a copy of that book! Because his sessions at Faith Camp were awesome! , anyway i got on with my day and when i got back my lovely friend Jenna Hart had bought it me and left it as a present in my tent! I was so touched! So I thanked God and then thought okay I will buy Lisa beveres book 'Lioness arising' and again carried on with my day and when I got back from my seminar Phil Gorman had bought me that book! It was 2 lovely surprises in one day! so here is my thoughts on them both... thankyou God, Jenna, Phil and Paith Camp!

This is spectacular! I loved this book and would encourage women to get a hold of it! The back cover reads 'Women, its time to AWAKEN.... God did not save you to tame you..AWAKEN....to a life of fierce passion.AWAKEN,to dangerous prayer, stunning power, and teamed purpose, AWAKEN, your response could very well change your world. Lisa bevere compares lionesses to us as women in his kingdom, that we are God's lionesses! What that means and how to embrace it! She observes actual lioness behaviour and shows us what we can learn from them and what that means for us as women in the kingdom of God. I learnt a lot from this book and feel rearing to go already! A saying in there I liked was written by Sam Levensen:

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness,
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people,
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry,
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone"


I have been to faith camp twice and each year attended Bengts seminars and he is a great teacher and example to us all about living a life of faith. I always find I learn something new each year and am inspired in my own faith! 

This book comes highly recommended when you buy it all proceeds go back into his ministry and mission so is well worth buying! This book is about Bengts and his wife viviannes life, its about his calling, the words God spoke into his life and the adventures he went on with God. Preaching in places that were virtually untouched by the Gospel and healings that took place, miraculous signs and wonders and the salvation that happened people surrendering their lives to Jesus and becoming leaders themselves. This book is fantastic, it speaks of bravery and Faith, it also shows us a God who is so powerful on our behalf! His heart for our world and for places that may be unknown to us but to him are on his heart and that when people stand up in faith and 'GO' then God works wonders in those places. Bengt's book makes me want to be brave and to rely fully on God and believe him when he tells us to do something in our lives. This is an inspirational story I can't recommend it enough. Thankyou Bengt! Awesome!

The book - The fall of lucifer!

The Fall of lucifer!

Hey guys its me again Im catching up with my reviews this week. The book I have just finished reading is this, The Fall of lucifer by Wendy Alec. My friend Chris recommended this book to me and borrowed me his copy! 

The Fall of Lucifer is a novel about just that, The fall of lucifer, Its the story of Lucifer and his angelic brothers Gabriel and Michael and the hosts of heaven, It is the story of who lucifer was before he fell, his relationship with God, his beauty, and then tells of his demise, his rebellion against God and his expulsion from heaven. It then follows the battles that follow between him and his angelic brothers following creation, the sin of Adam and Eve and his part in that, as well as the demise of earth forcing God to destroy it sparing one man and his family Noah, yet even then the people of Earth are rejecting God and the consequences the enivetable judgement that would follow sends sadness into heaven, unless somebody paid the price for human beings, a spotless sinless person of which there is none, So steps forward Christ, The father loves the human race so much he sends himself his only son to pay the price for them. 

The fall of Lucifer is like nothing I have ever read before! It opens your eyes to the heavenly realms, it makes you see that there is a heavenly realm. It is a sad story indeed of Lucifers demise, it makes you see that we have an awesome loving God who is majestic and loves us so much! It makes you realise that there is no inbetween you are either on one side or another and makes you see the beauty of the right side. It shows you how sin can seep into someone making them a completely different person and the mercy and the grace of God. 

I would definately recommend this book! It made me truly thankful that God fights for us!

Billy Graham in Quotes!





Billy Graham in Quotes!

Hey all its been a while! I've been away at faith camp Im glad to be back and to tell you about the latest book i'm reading 'Billy Graham in Quotes!' This book is Brilliant! Its a book of Quotes from the great evangelist Billy Graham! It is like a refence book and is set out in topics alphabetically! It will say billy graham on ..... forgiveness for example and then will have a few pages of his quotes on that topic! There are 107 topics altogether that he covers and it is so easy to read! Its really handy that its in alphabetical order, it would be great for people who are studing a particular topic, people who speak publicly or write or just for each of us everyday when we are struggling with a particular problem and want some wisdom on the subject. I found myself encouraged, built up, hopeful, spoken to, becoming thoughtful, re-ordering my priorities and a developing hunger for more of God through reading this book, it made me take a closer look at my life and what it should be. It is great to learn from someone who is older and wiser than me. I love that we can learn from one another in the church, that we don't have to struggle along there are people who have a wealth of experience and have had so many experiences and encounters with God who can help us and guide us and impart some wisdom they have learnt along the way. billy Graham definately has that, you can see through this book that he is a wise man but also a humble one who has achieved great things. This book is a great tribute to his great ministry and I feel better for reading this book. 

Heres a tiny taster, the book is 433 pages long so this is only a tiny taster but is just a few quotes that stood out to me:

Billy Graham on........


End Times... "In the end there will be people who did the work of the Lord. They were busy in the church. They had done many wonderful works. But Jesus himself says 'I never knew you' Matt 7:23

Glorifying God..... " We glorify Christ when we live for God-trusting, loving and obeying him"

God.... "Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from knowing God" and "The wheels of (God's) mercy and judgement move quietly and silently, but they do move"

Greed....."Envy and greed starve on a diet of thanksgiving"

Hell....." A seminary professor I once knew told his students ' Never preach about hell without tears in your eyes"

Marraige.... " I have been asked the question, " who do you go to for counsel, for spiritual guidance?" My answer " My wife Ruth. She is the only one i completely confide in"

Success..... " A true servant of God is someone who helps another succeed"

Suffering.... " The bible teaches that we are to be patient in suffering. Tears become telescopes to heaven, bringing eternity a little closer"


These are just a tiny few of the quotes that inspired me there are hundreds more this book is truly a fantastic one, one that i will treasure in my book collection and keep and refer to for the rest of my life! Thanks for reading my blog! God bless you!
