Hello...


Hello,
 
I know it’s been a while I blogged. Nevertheless, we have been on top of our reading schedule.
Since reading “So you don’t want to go to church anymore: An unexpected journey…”, the group read “Sun Stand Still” by Steven Furtick followed by “Choosing Extraordinary: Living out the God given dreams you’ve always wanted to…” by Helen Cottee. Both books are very different but good.
 
I found “Sun Stand Still” very challenging and inspiring. Steven writes about faith and audacious prayers. He reminds us of God’s faithfulness, love and the power of prayer.  He takes his inspiration from Joshua 10:1-15; there Joshua commands the sun to stand still so the Israelites can finish off their enemies, and God causes the sun to stand still. This book encourages us to increase our faith and trust in God.
 
I found “Choosing extraordinary” interesting, encouraging and very easy to read. Some sections of the book spoke volumes to me. Helen writes about various aspects of life and puts God in the centre of it all. She encourages us to have faith in God, trust Him and step out of our comfort zone and use our God given talents as we journey through life.    
I enjoyed reading both books and found both authors writing styles easy to follow.
 
If you have read either “Sun stand still” or “Choosing extraordinary”, you are welcome to share your thoughts and views with us. Please leave a comment.
God bless.
