Come Unto Me
An Amazing Life-Changing Book
Knowing HIM in His Word and Prayer by Thomas J. Mozden is a daily devotional study designed to meditate and dig deeper into God’s Word. Each devotional seeks to display and reveal the author’s meditation and thoughts that touched his being, as each scripture verse chosen, he felt led by the Holy Spirit to read. “His Word is alive, and it is here where you will find true life and the gateway to eternal life.” ~ writes the author. He hopes that readers will understand that God’s Word is alive and an all-consuming fire. It is also the author’s hope that each person picking up the book will be touched, inspired, and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ ~ who paid such a high price for the free gift of salvation.
Several themes run throughout the book, as the author mentions 3 words that are repeated and non-negotiable in speaking of life in Christ. They are: Trust, forgiveness, and love. I love that he begins his book with the scripture verse Matthew 11:28 GNB, “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.”
His insights are compassionate, valuable, and give a fresh perspective to many who will come to understand that this author offers a contemplative interpretation of Scripture. I also came to appreciate his wisdom, insight, intelligence, and greatly valued his perspective.
This book will bring readers into a deeper relationship and understanding of the Word, as they seek the Lord in their own meditation, prayer, and their own perspective. Written for believers, but this also comes as a wonderful book to encourage others to believe in the Lord and to ignite faith, hope, strength, and love through reading God’s Word.
This book also comes highly recommended for those who seek a book written and guided by someone who is Holy Spirit-led in their writings.

May You Too Be Inspired By The Grace of God
A wonderful collection of articles fleshing out a considered Christian viewpoint respecting the Bible but based on relationship with God and other people arising from intelligence, learning, and mental suffering.”
The Arsenal of Grace: Confidence Out of Suffering by Nigel Bird is a collection of articles and perspectives from the author written at different dates and pertaining to his experiences, reflections, perspectives - all written at different times in his walk with the Lord to help others and inspire others as they are willing to read his writings.
Further stating he is inspired by the grace of God, he offers readers a glimpse of the cross, the free gift of salvation, and of the arsenal of grace that he calls ammunition from the foot of the cross. His writings serves as autobiographical giving insight into his early college years, his health, and his sufferings. Written all to bring encouragement to others to learn to listen, pray, and keep a Biblical perspective as it pertains to godly relationships.
He is an author that has taken time also to write letters giving feedback as to his experiences at a particular church for them to reflect upon as “positive criticism” to come up higher in the attaining to unity within the Christian theme of unity in churches, what the Bible calls a healthy church, and what being evangelical looks like from his definition, to include, as such he describes, perspectives of others as mentioned in his bibliography.
The author shares in this book that God’s greatest gift to humanity is that of “salvation and eternity with Him. But that God’s greatest earthly gift must be that of prayer, such that we can approach the throne of God at any time, without any fear, knowing that He yearns to engage with us…” Therefore, his letters, stories, articles, and words are a culmination of his writings that endeavour to reveal the grace of God and the beauty of God to inspire whosoever chooses to read his book. He also emphasises that the art of listening to one’s heart, not judging, and having empathy serves as a catalyst to relationship as a Christian.
With that said may the beauty of the Gospel and that of prayer give insight and share the beauty of the Grace of God in loving each other. His hopes are that others would be inspired, encouraged, and helped in whatever state life finds them in. A CBM Christian Book Review ~ 10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Spiritual Lessons Learned From Real-Life Events
Earthly Stories with Spiritual Meaning:
Spiritual Lessons Learned from Real Life Events
By: Danny Dodson
____________________
Danny Dodson’s book gives us a collection of his own life experiences that offer “lessons learned” insight to uplift the spiritual condition of readers while giving them a bit of entertainment along the way.
Some of the stories are humorous, and some are nostalgic, as the author points out. However, all involve the application of life experiences that teach us valuable principles we need to learn from the Holy Scriptures. We travel along our earthly journeys in preparation for an eternal home; but, in the meantime, while on Earth, our earthly stories can have deep spiritual significance. This is the purpose of the book – to teach some spiritual lessons learned from real-life events, and to give readers a deeper understanding of their own walk with God.
Deeply insightful, the author starts off with the book’s first section being entitled “Walking Worthy.” Does this not say it all? Then he delves into chapters that offer really wonderful insights with teachings that one cannot lay aside. Chapters within Section 1: “Walking Worthy” include: How’s Your Eyesight? The Servant Attitude, The Power of Working Together, and Lacing Up Your Gospel Shoes. Section 2: “Overcoming Satan” includes: The Devil Sounds A Lot Like God, Unable to Walk, The Jericho Road, and Christian Superpowers and Kryptonite. Section 3: “Looking to the Goal” includes: Heaven Will Surely Be Worth It All, Keeping Your Eyes on Jesus, and Christ and the Church. And Section 4: “Final Thoughts” includes: Uncomfortable Joy, and Mother’s Last Message. All these chapters give deep meaning and understanding to the valleys and mountaintops we all experience.
I find his book a fantastic read to help understand that there is victory on the other side. His teachings are truly invaluable, life-changing, and a blessing to read. As a long-time Bible student, teacher, and preacher, his writings are sermons that one will not forget.
Filled with Scriptural insight and much teaching, this book comes as highly recommended to those in need of spiritual direction, Biblical encouragement, and inspiration! A CBM Christian Book Review ~ 10.0 out of 10.0 stars

The Shepherd Who Cares For His Sheep
Book Title: The Shepherd: Experiencing Psalm 23
By: Author James Collins
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars
James Collins takes readers through the 23rd Psalm – giving readers the experience of one of the most popular Psalms in the Bible. He describes Psalm 23 as a psalm for all of life. When faced with trials, tribulation, sorrow, and death – the Psalm gives comfort to all. When in need of hope – Psalm 23 gives comfort and courage to all who would seek to understand that we are His chosen people and we are the sheep of His (Christ’s) pasture. And He is the Good Shepherd, the Shepherd who cares for the sheep. There is no other Psalm like the 23rd Psalm to help one understand the care that the Shepherd gives to His sheep.
Within that the author endeavors to help readers understand the deeper meaning of the contrast between saying that Jesus is My Shepherd. The line that struck me was there are no wild sheep. If sheep run they will die in the wild. As such, he defines the absolute care and protection that the Shepherd brings to His flock. The Shepherd cares for each and every one, as a shepherd in the field cares for the sheep. He also mentions that even though Psalm 23 is often read at funerals, Psalm 23 is a psalm for all the days of our lives – to give life and hope.
With such chapters as: That’s Enough, The Right Path, Through the Valley, Behind Enemy Lines, The Best is Yet to Come, I Am the Good Shepherd, Shepherds and the Lamb with a chapter on How to Receive Christ – making this book an experience of Psalm 23 and a life-changing Psalm.
I love the interludes, the thought-provoking stories, and the way he summarizes what he writes in a simplistic way without too much theology or long-winded preaching. The author speaks from the heart as a Biblical counselor and pastor that comforts.
Wonderful insight and Biblical integrity envelope the book, giving readers hope, inspiration, comfort, courage, and hope. All will see that walking with the Lamb of God as the Good Shepherd is the way to peace, contentment, and hope in this dark world. It is the Good Shepherd who gave His life for the sheep. Experiencing this book brings a deeper appreciation for the Cross and a greater understanding of Psalms 22, 23, and Psalm 24 as well. It was David who penned these psalms, which are still incredibly relevant for today. They also reveal the magnificence of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who came to save the world and to die on a Cross for all who would receive Him. This is an exemplary book!
A highly recommended read for those looking for hope and encouragement amid fear, anxiety, worry, and depression – Psalm 23 is a lifetime Psalm for all.
The Jesus Gospel - Follow Jesus' Time On Earth In A Single Narrative
Never before has there been a book combining a word-for-word timeline of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) using only Bible text. For the first time ever, The Jesus Gospel brings together a complete, easy to follow, groundbreaking chronology of the life of Jesus Christ.
PRAISE FOR THE JESUS GOSPEL
I found The Jesus Gospel fascinating. The way the four Gospels were combined into a single chronologic record, using the words from the Bible was an ingenious idea. I could now follow Jesus' time on earth in a single narrative. I recommend The Jesus Gospel to everyone who would like a deeper and detailed view of Jesus.- Clarence Thomas- Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
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.
