I Really Enjoyed Reading Kenneth Tatum's Book, Devotions with a Friend

I loved reading Devotions with a Friend, by Ken Tatum. The book is a 21-day daily devotional, stemming from Ken’s time hearing from God and his life experiences. I like that Ken shares the thoughts and expressions that God put on his heart in regards to each subject that he shares which includes a scripture verse, a daily devotional, and ends with a Prayer Emphasis. 

This 21-day devotional relates to subjects such as Grace, The Great Choreographer, Good King Bad King, Dry Bones: A Mystical Vision, Who is My Enemy and so much more which makes this an enjoyable book to sit down and read.  

Intriguing commentary, alongside sometimes humorous experiences, from the author that challenge, uplift, teach, exhort, and encourage. All his commentaries come from a life seeking God, and daily striving to hear and follow the commands of Jesus. Very nicely written.  

Reading Devotions from a Friend is similar to sitting down with a trusted friend and discussing various topics with a treasured friend over a cup of coffee or a meal. The author suggests making a routine out of sitting down and ingesting the Word of God, stating, “…remember, while scheduling time with God is a great spiritual discipline, the most important thing is that you spend time with Him.”

She was the love of his life he stated. Then one fatal day when she had a seizure at work their lives were turned “upside down.” Lovingly sharing fond memories and the terrifying rollercoaster of events that ensued, until the final day. 

A Must-Read Book - Jeff Schmiedel writes his love story with Kris, his wife of only 3 short years, and her untimely diagnosis of brain cancer. Jeff starts at the beginning of meeting Kris, their journey to falling in love to their wedding, and their plans for the future of family. 

Every day was a step into the unknown and they took it together and also as a family. His book is written to help reveal to readers the availability of other medicines, what helped them, and what they found that did not work. In addition, he advises other healing treatments that are available, including letting the readers know the benefits of natural health. 

From the moment one embarks on this journey, I knew this book would be a difficult one to endure. This is a touchy subject – the dreaded “C” word, on top of that, a brain cancer that came back with a vengeance. What struck me most is his strong faith in a loving God. He states that this faith carried him through, although he doesn’t pretend to know the “why” of it all. Clearly, his faith has increased, not decreased, which is what I really want to point out. 

Compassionately he has compiled this book to bring healing, hope, and health to others. Each chapter shows the arduous journey and the trials that not only affected Kris, but engulfed an entire family. Each person, each opportunity reveals a husband committed to his love and also the never-ending support of family that helped carry the couple through their darkest hours. This book will bring tears, I guarantee. 

This is a tribute to the “Jeff and Kris Story” that readers will find captivating, heartbreaking, and soothing. He shows that one can let go after such a tragedy; however, most certainly his landscape of life is forever changed after Kris. Hearts and hugs go out to him and the entire family! This is one of those books one will always cherish and find memorable.  

This book is highly recommended for those who are searching for hope and health, and also for those who are going through the dreaded diagnosis of cancer. The author again offers other pathways to healing, rather than conventional medicine. 

A highly recommended, heart-touching read.

For ten years our relationship was horrible. We couldn't stand to look at each other, let alone be around each other. Satan wanted to keep it that way because he knew that God had a ministry for us. He tried for a long time to keep that from happening. God has brought us from a long way together. We went through some dreadful experiences with each other. But to God be the glory. What Satan has tried to stop, we rebuked him in the name of Jesus, and is now able to tell our story and to help someone out. We hope that the experiences and prayers in this book will be a blessing to you. We are ready to be used by God in any way possible. We love God and the people He brings our way. This is not our testimony but God's testimony.

  In Genesis God declares that He created the sun and the moon for signs. On April 8, 2024, is the Great American Eclipse that crosses over the United States on the first day of the Hebrew month of Nisan (Passover). This was the same first day of the three days of darkness that occurred during the original plagues in Egypt. This solar eclipse is a HEAVENLY sign from the Creator which will be the starting gun for a series of wars over the next several years, including the final war against Amalek which is represented today by Radical Islam - Iran and its Hamas, Hezbollah, Isis, the Islamic Jihad, the Houthis and, some of which, are already attacking US soldiers and facilities in Iraq and Syria almost daily. In this book you'll find every Shemitah Cycle and Jubilee Cycle from the Creation of the World until today. You'll see the timing of major biblical and important historical events.

The Hands Of A Warrior - A Must Read Book


This is more than a devotional, it's a training manual for the battlegrounds of the spiritual war that is taking place on your family right here, right now. It's time to quit giving the enemy the rights to your family and step into battle with full vengeance. 

Too many dads these days are complacent. They're watching from the sidelines as they leave their child's eternity in the hands of the world. Men are refusing to accept their biblical role as the spiritual leader in the home and are failing their families, their children, and their grandchildren. Why are the current generations fleeing the church in overwhelming numbers? Because too many fathers haven't prepared their children for battle and the enemy is luring them away.

From Skepticism to Divine Perspective - Pre-Deployment Guidebook from a Christian's Perspective

Pre-Deployment Guidebook from a Christian's Perspective
Author: Brad D. Nelson PhD

Whether you and your family are experienced deployers or first-timers, deployments are arguably one of the most challenging and unsettling experiences you’ll ever have. As exemplary of a job the military does to prepare servicemembers and their families for both the knowns and the unknowns, only God, who knows the end from the beginning, and the best and safest route for us to take, can bridge the gap between human limitation and the miraculous, from unbridled anxiety to a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Walk with me through this unrestrained guidebook as I share mine and my family’s journey from fear to faith, from skepticism to divine perspective and awe. Suggestions are provided on how to process the announcement, informing loved ones, understanding the cycle of emotions, getting one’s affairs in order, and a host of other invaluable insights. Bottom line up front: Don’t leave home without Christ!

Brad D. Nelson, Ph.D., is from Hillsboro, OH, and is a 2023 Marquis Who's Who Listee and active-duty Air Force officer assigned to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Mr. Nelson is active in his church and community, a "Big Brother" for Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America, and an impassioned advocate for improving the plight of Returning Citizens. His favorite Old Testament scripture is, "The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). Mr. Nelson and his wife (Amanda) call the Dayton, Ohio, area home.

Feed People by Donna Rollyson

Title: Feed People
By: Donna Rollyson
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0+ out of 10.0 stars

Feed People by Donna Rollyson (Book 1 in her Dream Believe Follow Series) captures her receiving a direct command from God to go and “Feed People.” Upon hearing this command to “Feed People,” the author writes about the journey that led to the abundance of God. She writes with concise details of life-changing events, as the Lord led them each step of the way through some amazingly accurate dreams. The author connects-the-dots revealing the faithfulness and love of God in the midst of a transition into one’s calling.

Stepping out in faith and with an obedient heart, grit, and determination encompass this true story, as the author reveals that God can do the impossible. Receiving a word and a dream from God, the Rollyson’s, began a journey of faith as they were called to simply “feed people.” A series of events quickly unfolded and Donna alongside her husband, Ed, found themselves heading back to West Virginia. Eventually selling their home in Savannah, Georgia, the couple takes on big risks and jobs that come to fruition in the purchase and renovation of an old church shown to Donna in a dream. What a transformation this couple has gone through in hearing the calling of the Lord and following it step-by-step as they trusted in Jesus!

Feed People is such a wonderful testament to the goodness of God! This book reveals the restoration found in finding purpose in one’s calling and reveals her experience as to how to hear from God. Her life motto could be, “Hear from God and be willing and obedient to what the Lord speaks.” This requires one to stand in faith and not lose hope.

This is also a true testament of faith and being made new in Christ, revealing the handiwork of God. Still one must choose the straight path in following God. Sprinkling her book with scriptures certainly exemplifies her points, readers will find renewed hope and faith in the new life God has for them when they obey.

A highly recommended read for anyone! This book also serves as a reminder to the body of Christ that feeding people and helping the poor is a command from the Lord.
