Praying for Your Future Husband

Since I have read some of the Christy and Sierra books by Robin Jones Gunn, I decided to read Praying for Your Future Husband by Tricia Goyer and Robin Jones Gunn. I was definitely not disappointed!  What first appealed to mean was the beautiful layout and pretty decorations inside the book. Both of the authors frankly tell their stories of how God prepared them for their future husbands. The book is written in a conversational style and is upbeat. Each chapter is about a particular area to pray for and has sample prayers and a place to journal. I would highly recommend this book for any girl who is wondering about who she will marry and wondering if the next guy she meets might be "the one." This book has been a great encouragement to me and I am sure it will be for others as well.
I received this book through WaterBrook Multnomah's Blogging for Books program in exchange for my honest review. (Note: a favorable review was not required for participation.)

Now that Thanksgiving is right around the corner, the camping season is just about over.  Soon the snow will be falling and it will be the perfect time for snuggling up with a good book.  Look for some new book reviews soon!

No Wonder They Call Him the Savior

No Wonder They Call Him the Savior by Max Lucado is a wonderful book.  This book explores the death and resurrection and brings the events to life for the reader.  Max Lucado writes in a way that is fresh and enables the readers to feel like they are really living in the time of Christ.  The book is divided into three parts on the cross: Its words, Its witnesses, and Its Wisdom.  Oftentimes, we as Christians become complacent and fail to recognize the wonder and awe-inspiring love of Jesus’ death on the cross.  I love Max Lucado’s writing style; it is very conversational and you feel as if you are having coffee with him.  No Wonder They Call Him the Savior is filled with encouragement and hope from the gospel.  I really enjoyed reading this book for my devotions each morning.  This is definitely a book to read if you are feeling unloved, as it will remind you just how much Jesus loves you.  There is also a helpful discussion guide in the back, perfect for Sunday school or a Bible Study.  My one complaint with the book is that I wished there were more Scripture verses in it.  There are some, but I would like a little more.  All in all, it was definitely worth the read.
