What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do: 8 Principles for Finding God's Way

What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do: 8 Principles for Finding God's Way by Henry Cloud and John Townsend

I like how this book doesn't try to tip-toe around the subject, Cloud and Townsend just leap right in and get straight to the point!
I have difficult times in my life, as I am sure you do. This books helps with those difficult times. The books shows you how to invite God to join you on your journey through the tough time sin your life and to always remember that he is there with you at all times, even when you might not think so, and leaning on him will help you get through the problem you are having.
I received this book at the right time in my life. I needed this book. I have been so down and out thinking of why is this happening to me and what am I doing wrong. I read through this book and now feel like a calm has come over me.
I like how this book has biblical references, I like to know where they are getting there thoughts and ideas for what they are saying from, instead of trying to find it on my own. I am contemplating getting some more copies to give to some people in my life that I know are at the point where they need God to help them get out of the situation they are in. They need to be reminded that God is there and he will always be there to help in your time of need.
The 8 principles are very helpful and very insightful. I don't want to give too much away but I really feel like if you are at a time in your life where you think you don't know what to do, can it get any worse, what is going on with me, where is God...then you NEED to read this book!
 

Left Behind #7

The Indwelling picks up where Assassins, book #6, left off and reveals who killed the Antichrist. The assassin was somewhat predictable, but many other suspects clouded the actual identity of the assasin. The Indwelling gets very spiritually in depth, especially when Rayford Steele flys back home all by himself, and when Tsion Ben-Judah begins "dreaming dreams." When the safety of the safe house is questioned, David Hassid locates the STRONG Building, which will hopefully house all of the Trib Force and then some. As the funeral nears, the pace picks up somewhat, and a few mysteries surface. When Nicolae Carpathia (the Antichrist) is indwelt by Satan, he begins quoting Jesus and claiming his "divine power." The Indwelling is probably one of the best books so far, but the story moves slowly. The entire book only goes over a period of about 3 days, and that's not very much when it's a book that long. The book leaves us with only a few small cliffhangers, unlike the previous book, Assassins. The upcoming 8th book, The Mark, should answer the question of who might betray the Trib Force, what the numbers of the ten kingdoms mean, and the rise of a new technology, a mark that everyone will have to have to be able to buy or sell.

Gods in Alabama

Gods in Alabama by Joshilyn Jackson

This book has everything going for it: humor, mystery, great characters, and writing that just flows. Arlene left Alabama 9 years ago after promising to give up fornication (as she politely puts it during prayers), to never tell a lie, and to never go back to the town she grew up in as long as a certain body was allowed to remain hidden. When she becomes convinced that the deal is off, she breaks all three of her promises, returning home with her boyfriend, fornicating on the way, and lying to her family that they're already married. Between flashbacks and the current scenes, you come to know the loving, albeit imperfect, family she left behind and the far-from-perfect gods in Alabama.

Building Your Personal House of Prayer: The Master's Plan for Daily Prayer

Building Your Personal House of Prayer: The Master's Plan for Daily Prayer by Larry Kreider

This book is a great teaching on prayer. But in noting this, we have to remember that even though this "house of prayer" plan works for some, we cannot make it into a law. The best line in this book is near the end when Kreider says that prayer is not about a "how to" approach because it's about a relationship. God desires open communication with you because He loves you and wants you to share in His love. If a prayer plan like Kreider's is helpful, than use it. If not, don't bound yourself up by another law. Even with this remark, I do strongly suggest this book and this prayer plan. The "chapter prayer guides" in the back of the book led me into some very intimate times of prayer. And Kreider's passion for relationship with God burns within in you to the point where you put the book down to begin praying. If you're seeking a stronger relationship with God and have questions on prayer, check this book out!
