Something Needs to Change by David Platt

-
Something Has to Change by David Platt review: David Platt is a pastor at McLean Bible Church in metro Washington, DC. He has written many other books including Radical. David shares his eye opening experience to the Himalayas in this book. He took a week trip to the Himalayas. This area is considered to be one of the Unreached People Groups. He went to the Himalayas with a group and met people there who were and continue to spread Christianity. .. As He trekked through the difficult terrain He was face to face with many questions. He asked the very difficult questions we often encounter in this world. He asked ," If the gospel is true and God is really good, then where is God amid extreme poverty and pain?" "Where are the peace and protection of God for the oppressed and exploited in the world.?"Is hell really a place and does it actually last forever?"" If so, then why are so many people born into what seems like an earthly hell, only to move to an eternal one?" He was extremely vulnerable and real as He faced many difficult situations. He saw many very young girls being victims of human trafficking. Christians who live there are often persecuted for their faith. He saw people getting sick from poor water. He saw the people sick and needing medical care and not able to get it. He shared about his daily experiences and followed it with his Bible reading and his personal journals. He reflected in his journals on what the Bible reading meant for what He was personally facing. There are reflection questions at the end of every chapter so the reader can personalize what they are reading. This book is hard to put down and will leave the reader thinking what am I doing in this world. Am I making my life count for the Lord? This book is a real life changer. The book has Bible study material and DVDs for personal or group use. There are wonderful resources about the book including a trailer at www.radical.net I highly recommend this book.. I was given an advanced reader copy of this book from the publisher and I am not obligated to give a positive review. Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this excellent and well written book.

     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
