The Shot Caller by Casey Diaz

-
"The Shot Caller  "  is     a nonfiction Christian book by  Casey Diaz.   This  book is a moving  and  shows  how  Jesus can  change   hardened   and toughen  people.    Casey is the son of   immigrants  from El  Salvador.  His  Dad was  very abusive to his Mother.  He   grew up  watching and  being toughened up  by  the abusive  behavior of his Dad.  At  the age of  11 years old Casey    became   a member of a gang called  Rockwood  Street Locos.  He    was   doing    these  crimes:  home invasions,   car jackings,   stabbings with rivals.   He  was  arrested  at   16  years old and charged with 13 years in prison  for   second degree murder and   52  counts of robbery.    He  was sentenced to   solitary  confinement     or  23 hours  per day.    There was  a  lady in the Folsom State prison who  would walk  by his room  and tell him  He will  make a difference to   people in his future and God will use him.    She   told him this every time  she  was  there and walked  outside his    room. She  was involved in prison ministry at that  prison.  Casey    made fun of her.    One  day   there were images on his  cell  wall   of his life as a small  boy and other images  as He  gets older.    There is a  picture of  man  with long hair carrying a  cross.  He heard and  audible  voice  saying  I did  this for you and died for you. He  was placed on a cross with two other people and  the voice  told Him I did this for you.  Casey   wept  and could not believe  someone  would die for him.  He   was deeply moved  by  these pictures and  the  audible   voice.  He  confessed his  sins and the man who spoke to him told him to  see a chaplain.   Casey  had a full repentance and a full heart turn around.    You will be  amazed at  his changed  life .  How  does   Casey  change and  where does  God lead  Him.?    I appreciate  the publisher   for allowing me to read and review this  book.  It is a moving  story.   I appreciate  netgalley for  giving me this book. This book is a very moving story for anyone who will read it.

 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
