A Must Read Book for Every Christian
Each devotional seeks to display and reveal the author’s meditation and thoughts that touched his being, as each scripture verse chosen, he felt led by the Holy Spirit to read. “His Word is alive, and it is here where you will find true life and the gateway to eternal life.” ~ writes the author. He hopes that readers will understand that God’s Word is alive and an all-consuming fire. It is also the author’s hope that each person picking up the book will be touched, inspired, and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ ~ who paid such a high price for the free gift of salvation.
Several themes run throughout the book, as the author mentions 3 words that are repeated and non-negotiable in speaking of life in Christ. They are: Trust, forgiveness, and love. I love that he begins his book with the scripture verse Matthew 11:28 GNB, “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.”
His insights are compassionate, valuable, and give a fresh perspective to many who will come to understand that this author offers a contemplative interpretation of Scripture. I also came to appreciate his wisdom, insight, intelligence, and greatly valued his perspective.
This book will bring readers into a deeper relationship and understanding of the Word, as they seek the Lord in their own meditation, prayer, and their own perspective. Written for believers, but this also comes as a wonderful book to encourage others to believe in the Lord and to ignite faith, hope, strength, and love through reading God’s Word.
This book also comes highly recommended for those who seek a book written and guided by someone who is Holy Spirit-led in their writings.

Inspired By The Grace Of God
A Must Read Book - The Arsenal of Grace: Confidence Out of Suffering by Nigel Bird is a collection of articles and perspectives from the author written at different dates and pertaining to his experiences, reflections, perspectives - all written at different times in his walk with the Lord to help others and inspire others as they are willing to read his writings.
A CBM Christian Book Review ~ 10.0 out of 10.0 stars
The author states his book is “A collection of articles fleshing out a considered Christian viewpoint respecting the Bible but based on relationship with God and other people arising from intelligence, learning, and mental suffering.”
Further stating he is inspired by the grace of God, he offers readers a glimpse of the cross, the free gift of salvation, and of the arsenal of grace that he calls ammunition from the foot of the cross. His writings serves as autobiographical giving insight into his early college years, his health, and his sufferings. Written all to bring encouragement to others to learn to listen, pray, and keep a Biblical perspective as it pertains to godly relationships.
He is an author that has taken time also to write letters giving feedback as to his experiences at a particular church for them to reflect upon as “positive criticism” to come up higher in the attaining to unity within the Christian theme of unity in churches, what the Bible calls a healthy church, and what being evangelical looks like from his definition, to include, as such he describes, perspectives of others as mentioned in his bibliography.
The author shares in this book that God’s greatest gift to humanity is that of “salvation and eternity with Him. But that God’s greatest earthly gift must be that of prayer, such that we can approach the throne of God at any time, without any fear, knowing that He yearns to engage with us…” Therefore, his letters, stories, articles, and words are a culmination of his writings that endeavour to reveal the grace of God and the beauty of God to inspire whosoever chooses to read his book. He also emphasises that the art of listening to one’s heart, not judging, and having empathy serves as a catalyst to relationship as a Christian.
With that said may the beauty of the Gospel and that of prayer give insight and share the beauty of the Grace of God in loving each other. His hopes are that others would be inspired, encouraged, and helped in whatever state life finds them in.

Thought-Provoking - A Must Read Book
The Shepherd:
Experiencing Psalm 23
Experiencing Psalm 23
James Collins
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars
Christian author James Collins takes readers through the 23rd Psalm – giving readers the experience of one of the most popular Psalms in the Bible.
He describes Psalm 23 as a psalm for all of life. When faced with trials, tribulation, sorrow, and death – the Psalm gives comfort to all. When in need of hope – Psalm 23 gives comfort and courage to all who would seek to understand that we are His chosen people and we are the sheep of His (Christ’s) pasture. And He is the Good Shepherd, the Shepherd who cares for the sheep. There is no other Psalm like the 23rd Psalm to help one understand the care that the Shepherd gives to His sheep.
Within that the author endeavors to help readers understand the deeper meaning of the contrast between saying that Jesus is My Shepherd. The line that struck me was there are no wild sheep. If sheep run they will die in the wild. As such, he defines the absolute care and protection that the Shepherd brings to His flock. The Shepherd cares for each and every one, as a shepherd in the field cares for the sheep. He also mentions that even though Psalm 23 is often read at funerals, Psalm 23 is a psalm for all the days of our lives – to give life and hope.
With such chapters as: That’s Enough, The Right Path, Through the Valley, Behind Enemy Lines, The Best is Yet to Come, I Am the Good Shepherd, Shepherds and the Lamb with a chapter on How to Receive Christ – making this book an experience of Psalm 23 and a life-changing Psalm.
I love the interludes, the thought-provoking stories, and the way he summarizes what he writes in a simplistic way without too much theology or long-winded preaching. The author speaks from the heart as a Biblical counselor and pastor that comforts.
Wonderful insight and Biblical integrity envelope the book, giving readers hope, inspiration, comfort, courage, and hope. All will see that walking with the Lamb of God as the Good Shepherd is the way to peace, contentment, and hope in this dark world. It is the Good Shepherd who gave His life for the sheep.
Experiencing this book brings a deeper appreciation for the Cross and a greater understanding of Psalms 22, 23, and Psalm 24 as well. It was David who penned these psalms, which are still incredibly relevant for today. They also reveal the magnificence of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who came to save the world and to die on a Cross for all who would receive Him. This is an exemplary book!
A highly recommended read for those looking for hope and encouragement amid fear, anxiety, worry, and depression – Psalm 23 is a lifetime Psalm for all.

A Must Have Book - The Jesus Gospel
THE JESUS GOSPEL Four Gospels, Four Records, One Book...His Story
Never before has there been a book combining a word-for-word timeline of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) using only Bible text. For the first time ever, The Jesus Gospel brings together a complete, easy to follow, groundbreaking chronology of the life of Jesus Christ.
PRAISE FOR THE JESUS GOSPEL
I found The Jesus Gospel fascinating. The way the four Gospels were combined into a single chronologic record, using the words from the Bible was an ingenious idea. I could now follow Jesus' time on earth in a single narrative. I recommend The Jesus Gospel to everyone who would like a deeper and detailed view of Jesus.- Clarence Thomas - Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of Lords - The Magnificent One
Hot off the press. A Must-Read for anyone desiring an intimate walk with Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords!
The Magnificent Jesus: Walking in Intimacy presents deep scriptural truths from the book of Revelation 1: 5-7 is a life-changing book that will encourage you, stir your faith, and bring you closer to Jesus.
This book is designed to elevate the reader into true intimacy with Christ while knowing Who Christ is in Heaven.
Designed to reflect each scripture verse and meaning - 10 powerful chapters offer an easy-to-read and understand format that consists of prayer, focus on the scripture verse, commentary, reflection notes by a leader in ministry, and your own notes, making the book an interactive journey into Scripture and application.
The Introduction and tools on the “inner room” along with acronym tools such as A.R.K., make this book a discovery journey of how intimacy is fostered through authority, the power of the Holy Spirit, and prayer to facilitate tapping into the deep river of God, knowing Him intimately, and walking in your God-given authority as a Kingdom Priest, forgiven and washed in His Blood to overcome.
Insights from authors and ministry leaders contribute to this book such as: Lou Engle, John Arnott, Duncan Smith, and many international leaders such as: Sarah Jane Biggart, Wes Hall, Franklyn Spence, Murray Heibert, Steve Uppal, Dele Olowu, Dean Briggs & Carolyn Jones
Keep in mind this is the revelation from Jesus Christ given to John, his servant, by an angel that was sent to him while exiled on the island of Patmos. John testifies to the things he sees and hears, writing all down in the Word of God for us today.
Understanding these truths from Scripture reveals to readers what Jesus has done for those who call upon His name and bring clarity, elevating each seeker to intimacy, authority, and power within the Word of God.
The insight and knowledge from Scripture, alongside many who have served God as leaders and lovers of God, catapults readers into knowing their authority in Christ, as they drink deep from the river of God to spread the gospel message to others.

Author Jeff Schmiedel
This is a tribute to the “Jeff and Kris Story” that readers will find captivating, heartbreaking, and soothing. He shows that one can let go after such a tragedy; however, most certainly his landscape of life is forever changed after Kris. Hearts and hugs go out to him and the entire family! This is one of those books one will always cherish and find memorable.
Author Jeff Schmiedel writes his love story with Kris, his wife of only 3 short years, and her untimely diagnosis of brain cancer. Jeff starts at the beginning of meeting Kris, their journey to falling in love to their wedding, and their plans for the future of family.
She was the love of his life he stated. Then one fatal day when she had a seizure at work their lives were turned “upside down.” Lovingly sharing fond memories and the terrifying rollercoaster of events that ensued, until the final day.
Every day was a step into the unknown and they took it together and also as a family. His book is written to help reveal to readers the availability of other medicines, what helped them, and what they found that did not work. In addition, he advises other healing treatments that are available, including letting the readers know the benefits of natural health.
From the moment one embarks on this journey, I knew this book would be a difficult one to endure. This is a touchy subject – the dreaded “C” word, on top of that, a brain cancer that came back with a vengeance. What struck me most is his strong faith in a loving God. He states that this faith carried him through, although he doesn’t pretend to know the “why” of it all. Clearly, his faith has increased, not decreased, which is what I really want to point out.
Compassionately he has compiled this book to bring healing, hope, and health to others. Each chapter shows the arduous journey and the trials that not only affected Kris, but engulfed an entire family. Each person, each opportunity reveals a husband committed to his love and also the never-ending support of family that helped carry the couple through their darkest hours. This book will bring tears, I guarantee.
This book is highly recommended for those who are searching for hope and health, and also for those who are going through the dreaded diagnosis of cancer. The author again offers other pathways to healing, rather than conventional medicine.
A highly recommended, heart-touching read.

The Virgin Birth - Gospel Basics
“Now the birth of Jesus was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 1:18)
Jesus’ virgin birth isn’t a myth or merely a random fact from the Gospels. It is a special honor bestowed upon a name that Jesus loved to be called, the “Son of God.” It is full of significance in knowing that Jesus was BOTH human and divine (incarnation) at the same time and He will be forevermore.
From Scripture, it is certainly clear that Jesus’ birth was the result of the Holy Spirit working within Mary’s body. In some miraculous way, the ovum in the womb of Mary was impregnated with life apart from a human father. God simply put the spark of life it her and, one by one, the cells began to multiply.
God was the father of the humanity of Jesus. The deity of Jesus was never an issue. He is called the Son of God because in His human nature He IS the Son of God as Joseph was not involved. God brought about virtually a second creation, a second man, without the original sin from the male line of Adam.
Linking to the family tree of Mary made Him a descendant of David and Abraham, which also fulfilled various promises that God had made to them.
Jesus was born with no sin. He had no inherited sin nature from Adam. The virgin birth bypassed the transmission of the sin nature and allowed the eternal God to become a perfect man as ONLY a sinless man could save humanity from God’s wrath.
In Jesus’ humanity, He is subject to the Father because the Father is greater than His humanity. But in His deity, Jesus is coequal with God the Father because He is of one essence with Him.
The doctrine of the virgin birth of Jesus is important for several reasons:
It showed God’s initiative in redeeming mankind in the fact that our redemption was not initiated by man, as we in our sinfulness cannot save ourselves.
It highlighted the miraculous impregnation of Mary by God Himself. Only a perfect man could save mankind from the first perfect man’s (Adam) sin.
It shows the uniqueness of Jesus as no other man in history was ever conceived from a virgin. No other man is both human and divine at the same time.
It fulfills Scripture, especially the Prophecy of Isaiah 7:14 where he proclaimed that the Savior would be born of a virgin.
Additional References: Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:35
