Forgive your way to Freedom by Gil Mertz review

- 
Forgive your way to Freedom "   leads the believer in the  importance , how to forgive and what happens to  the person who does not forgive.  The author is  very open  about all He  has  suffered with a father who never told him  He loved him until He  was dying.  He   tells the reader how moving it was  for his  dad to tell him He loved him and then  He worked through the needed forgiveness  He had to give his dad. The  author  shared  several examples of people who   forgave  people in very difficult  situations  . He  shared about  Corrie ten Boom   forgiving those  who persecuted her  in the Nazi   concentration camps.  He also   shared how Joseph  in the Bible was a  real example  for him. Joseph suffered innocently and never lost God's promises   and also focused on God's purposes. He  was   put  in prison for not a valid reason  and  was mistreated by his  brothers. He  restored his broken relationships and made sure He had peace with God.  When  we fail to  forgive  others  we can get sick , hurt  our relationships and  waste  our  daily productive  energy and  not live  each day productively for the Lord.  Jesus is our example and  forgave us for our sins. There are several myths  that are described  about  forgiveness in the book so we know  we may not  think the correct way   about forgiveness . IN the  beginning and end of the book there is an   self evaluation of  forgiveness .   This evaluation can help us  measure how much  work we need to   grow in  forgiving more.     We  start with accepting   Christ's forgiveness,  . He is our model and then we can model forgiveness for others. How can any of us   afford to not forgive  as  God  calls us to forgive?    We also   need to remember to forgive ourselves  which may even be the hardest form of forgiveness.  Are  you  ready to take the plunge  and  work through the concept of  forgiveness?  "Forgive Your Way to  Forgiveness " is on  Netgalley for   to be read  and reviewed  prior  to the release date   by the publisher's permission. I appreciate   the opportunity to read and share  this  wonderful book with others.  It is a great  opportunity for  Christians  to learn and  challenge themselves to  grow in their faith.

 Tell Me the Stories of Jesus  is  by Albert Mohler. Al Mohler  is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He  hosts   The Briefing and "Thinking in Public".  This  book is a Christian living book.  The parables  were written  with an illustration. Jesus wanted  the audience  to think about what  He  was   saying  and then  move  to  recollect   on the deeper meaning  within the parables.  He  wanted the audience   to think  about where their heart is and to apply  the parables  to their life.  If the meaning is given in a straight forward way  it can be easy  to not think about your life because  the meaning  is given  to the audience and they do not have to pause and think  where Jesus is coming from.  The parables are creative. . This book gives great background  for each of the parables. It is very personable.  This book is well written.  It  is a great book for any Christian and for  any pastor. Thank you for netgalley , the publisher and the author f

Holding on When You Want to Let Go by Sheila Walsh

-
  #Holding on When You Want to Let Go# by Sheila Walsh is a Christian living book. Sheila is an author, Bible teacher and television host. She is the cohost of Life Today. She has written many practical books. She wants to make the Bible practical and personal. She shares her heart and life difficulties when she writes. I find her personal stories so real and so easy to connect with. Sheila shares about her very difficult times and how we can find that Jesus can help us and meet us where we are at in our times of need. She encourages us to hold on to Jesus and draw close to Him so He can draw near to us. She encourages us to pray and read our Bibles during times of difficulty. The book is well written and a huge help during times of difficulty. Sheila wrote a Bible study guide to go with #Holing On When You Want to Let Go#. The book would be good for a Women's Bible study. I commend Sheila for writing this book and sharing her heart to others who might need it. Thank you to the pub
