A Year with Jesus - Book Review


Product Description

A 365-day devotional featuring the actual spoken words of Jesus as presented in the Bible.

Too many times the impact and grandness of the actual words Jesus spoke, as recorded in the Bible, are lost in the telling of the story. In A Year with Jesus, the primary focus is to allow the scriptures that contain Jesus' dialogue to uniquely speak to the reader. The author follows each reading with insights and applications to help explain the context and nuances of the text. The unique titling of each meditation and the nontraditional themes and organization help bring Jesus to our daily lives. Topics include:

Love and Hate
Truths and Lies
Arrogance and Humility
Friends and Enemies
Belief and Disbelief
Patience and Impatience
Deserved and Undeserved
Good and Evil
Fidelity and Treachery
Life and Death

My thoughts:
In today's society, there is so much war, famine and just plain hatred. I like to find books that are good for the soul, lets me know that there is a plan and reason for all things. There are things to look forward to, there is reason to believe in good and things to come.

I have read "A Year with Jesus" through in it's entirety. It is a good read, but more then that, my soul feels fulfilled after putting it down. I will reread this book on a daily basis, one page - one at a time just before I turn off the light at night. It has a way of making me feel peaceful.

I would recommend this book to a friend.

Konsyl review and Giveaway

We’ve all heard about the digestive and other health benefits of having enough fiber, but in addition to helping promote regularity and good digestive health  adequate soluble fiber intake offers an abundance of health benefits, ranging from a reduced risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol, to reducing blood sugar absorption, thereby assisting in the management of Type-2 Diabetes. Fiber can also aid in weight loss by making you feel fuller longer. Psyllium fiber, such as the fiber found in Konsyl Fiber Supplements, is a bulk-forming soluble fiber derived from the outer coating, or "husk" of the psyllium plant's seeds. Because psyllium does not come from wheat it is therefore gluten free and safe for celiac patients. Konsyl products are also safe for pregnant and nursing women. Just one serving of Konsyl Original Formula 450g provides 6 grams of psyllium fiber (equal to 3 grams of soluble fiber), 75% more than the leading brands.

A Product Review and my first GIVEAWAY!!

Image
Today I received a full size bottle of Purex Complete with Zout Triple Enzyme Stain Remover. The scent is Fresh Morning Burst. I am a scent orientated person, so the first thing I did was to open the bottle and smelled it. It smells so fresh and clean, I could not wait to give it a try. Four loads of laundry later, I can say that I truly love this product!! As a busy mother of two busy boys, I often miss stains on clothes before they are put into the drier and set for life. Then another piece of clothing heads for the rag bag. I love that the pretreatment is included in the product, no extra step. It works for HE and front loading machines. AND now for the giveaway, I will have two winners for coupons for a free product. Please leave me a comment about why you want to try the product. The giveaway will end on March 31 at 8:00PM EST and I will announce the winners.
