Book Title: Woman of Influence: Ten Traits of Those Who Want to Make a Difference
Author: Pam Farrel (Publisher: InterVarsity Press)
Review Submitted by: Beverley Edwards-Miller
This is a wonderful book that outlines how you can become the type of woman with the God-given courage to make a difference in your home and community. Starting with your own intimate relationship with God, Pam builds on that foundation and outlines how you can develop your spiritual qualities to become a woman of Godly influence. I really enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it.

Book Title: God's Abundance for Women
Author: Kathy Collard Miller (Publisher: Starburst Publishers)
Review Submitted by: Lina Wawondatu-Cantwell
This is a devotional book for a more meaningful life and quest for living in God's promise of abundance. I know you will enjoy every page of this book which tells us that God loves us and wants to be included in each and every part of our lives, whether it's parenting, marriage, friendships, our holidays, work or play. There are four sections based on the four seasons of the year that inspire us that life is full of His touch if we'll but let Him be Lord. Each section comes with quotes, poetry, Bible verses, and some sections have a short recipe of the season.

Book Title: The Prayer of Jabez
Author: Bruce Wilkinson (Multnomah Publishers)
Review Submitted by: Aloma Lively
A tiny book, an obscure Biblical character, and a short prayer asking for God's abundant blessings. This tiny volume issues a challenge to those who read it to pray the prayer and watch God perform miracles in your life. I began praying this prayer on Jan 1/2001, and can tell you that I have witnessed many miracles in the last three months. To witness the miracles, and to see the Hand of God in them, and to know that there is no explanation except that God has done the unexplainable....it is totally AWESOME.

Book Title: Simple Words of Wisdom: 52 Virtues For Every Woman
Author: Penelope J. Stokes (Publisher: J. Countryman a Division of Thomas Nelson, Inc.
Copyright 1998)
Review Submitted by: Marcia Waters
The simple virtues that are presented, discussed and illustrated in this small book - are the virtues that make our world a more wonderful place to live and grow. They are the virtues that are a part of the Christian's life -
in that they portray a character of caring, love and kindness to others. The author seeks to encourage us to seek the power of God, as we develop in our lifelong journey of Christian growth! I have basked in the personal
understanding this book has encouraged, as I seek my own virtuous life in Him. Oh to find - renewed dedication, compassion, generosity, patience, reverence - these are but a few! Each page is created with a lovely border,
flowers and thought provoking quotes! A gem! I have read and re-read this little book! Join me!

Book Title: Belonging
Author: Nancy and Ron Rockey with Kay Kuzma (Publisher: Pacific Press Review)
Review Submitted by: Keri Picone
Belonging is a tough read; I avoided it for almost 18 months. It deals with overcoming rejection and discovering the freedom of acceptance, becoming whole again and reconnecting with God. I understand myself better after reading this book, and why I do some of the things I do.

Book Title: Cross Purposes
Author: Eddie Askew (Publisher: Leprosy Mission)
Review Submitted by: Cheryll Bird
It is about meditations and prayers based on meals with Jesus. It is a book that has been borrowed many times and brought encouragement. Here is a tiny sample and, if I hear a rattling, I know my sisters are shaking the joy so it spills into today:
"Lord, help me face the day. Help me to seize the time and shake it
'til the joy it holds spills out and fillls my life.
Help me to sense your presence on the road and, in those moments when I seem alone,
give me the faith that says you're there."

Book Title: Heaven
Author: Ellen G. White
Review Submitted by: Barbara Hemingway
This book includes her choicest statements and descriptions of heaven, the future home of the redeemed. Here you will find not only pictures of celestial glories, but insights into the activities of the redeemed, the certainty of Jesus' coming to take us home, the end of evil, and how heaven can begin in our lives even now. The book will make you homesick for a home you haven't yet seen or been to. I love to take up this book when I have a few quiet moments.....to read a few pages......then just sit back and in my mind's eye try to imagine what I have just read.

Book Title: Escape to God
Author: Jim Hohnberger
Review Submitted by: Jacinth
This book is very interesting, and it helped me realize that God is there with us
and is very patient with us. He will never leave us; we just have to hold on to
Him and surrender all 100% to Him because He knows best.

Book Title: Celestial Chronicles
Author: Peggy Curtis Harris, Authorhouse.com
Review Submitted by: Peggy Harris
When Jesus walked on earth centuries ago, he told many great stories using
imagery that the people were familiar with and about things they understoods and
were part of events in their day.
The chronicles of this books of real life events have been portrayed in story
form. Here are stories of the past, present and future, some make believe, some
true, all throught provoking. Chronicled are stories from before the beginning
of time on this planet to the final story that came out of a disaster. In
between are stories that are timeless set in a modern setting or a glimps of
what might have been in the Bible story that challenge the soul.

Book Title: The Five Love Languages of Children
Author: Gary D. Chapman & Ross Campbell
Review Submitted by: Judy Kosmeijer
This is the book where I started to discover that you can feel love in different
ways. How will children feel it? Is it through your touching, your presents,
your time, your good words or by the things you do for him/her?
It helps you to understand your child better.

Review Submitted by: Judy Kosmeijer
If you are married, you have got to read this! This book will be a great help.
It helps you to find out in which way you will feel that your mate loves you. Is
that through his "words", his gifts, his time, or the things he does for you,
our by touching you? We read it, tried it and it works, too.

Book Title: Passion & Purity
Author: Elizabeth Elliott
Review Submitted by: Sarah Asaftei
Elizabeth Elliott addresses the subject of purity and godliness in romantic
relationships. She uses her own fascinating story as a backdrop for the
principles of waiting on God for HIS plan in our romances. The book is written
in a style equally appealing to both men and women, youth and adults. A must
for every young person!
