When you Love a Prodigal by Judy Douglass

-
"When You Love a Prodigal" by Judy  Douglass is a  devotional.  The  book deals with the important topic of   prodigal children.  As a parent I feel for parents whose kids  become prodigals.  This parent  would be  filled with  so many difficult emotions.  God meets the parents where they are  at with all their  questions in this devotional.  There are different topics in each devotional with  scripture and then there are  questions of reflection.  I  admire  this  author  because she is real and open about  her  struggles in dealing with her  own prodigal.   There are many people who have prodigals and do not  have a resource  like this.  I  am hoping  by reading this  review people  will  read this book and get the help they  need so  as parents  they will not feel alone. Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for allowing me  to read and review  this book.  It is well  written and a very helpful resource. I will post my review on facebook, netgalley, Goodreads, my blog, Amazon and share it with the church staff.

 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
