Lessons from a Lifetime Listening to God

A Lifetime Journey
In the School of the Spirit
Wanda Fisher © 2013
ISBN 978-1-933150-24-6
Ppbk 157 pp. plus appendices

Using real life experiences, Wanda Fisher has written her best book yet. She begins with an overview of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the 1960’s.
The book contains lessons she and others have learned in walking with God to receive the greatness of life He offers.

Some areas of teaching include the truth of trial and error in learning to hear God’s voice, growing in faith and setting healthy boundaries when helping others. Following God’s chain of commandment that offers partnerships in marriage is another area where Mrs. Fisher relates personal growth. She talks about God’s assignments, asks Is God enough, and discusses spiritual interference.

An easy to read book with a conversational tone, believers will benefit from this book. It’s a good volume to reread now and then.

Mrs. Fisher knows it is historically time for another outpouring of the Holy Spirit on this nation, something we sorely need.

Review of Wayfarer, metaphor for our lives?

Wayfarer
Janalyn Voigt © 2013
Harbourlight Books, Pelican Ventures, LLC
Ppbk Edition ISBN 978-1-61116-292-9
E-Edition ISBN 978-1-61116-291-2

Princes and princesses in love with the wrong ones, or not in love with chosen mates, pretenders for thrones attacking, defenders facing defeat, intense loyalty, betrayal, love, hatred, faith and fears, marriage and death, life in strange and beautifully described lands, winged horses, giant bears, dangerous birds, witches who turn travelers instantly into ice, friends and foes. The story has a bit of everything to keep readers hoping for victories for favorite characters and defeat for nasty ones, but unsure who will win.
Wayfarer, a well-told, compelling tale is Book two in the Faeraven series. The events and characters follow on from Book one, the Dawnsinger fantasy, but Wayfarer can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.
The author’s descriptions, even with strange names for almost everything, depict a strong admiration for nature and bring settings and characters wonderfully alive.
Wayfarer depicts the consequences of wrong choices but the forgiveness, mercy and grace of God to a young King IF he will accept the truth about who can save him.

Winged horses, Legends, and Honor
By Janalyn Voigt
Winged horses run wild in the impenetrable mountains of Elderland and often fly out at night to avoid giant birds of prey. Wingabeasts eluded human capture for ages. Then the son of the Faeraven’s high king roped a wingabeast, starting a legend.

We hear much of dragons in fantasy books, but little about winged horses. A goal of Janalyn Voigt’s in her Faerhaven series–for readers to feel the exhilarating experience of riding a winged horse.

The Tales of Faeraven include adventure, suspense, romance, a deep sense of history, and (of course) winged horses. Focusing on concepts of honor and integrity, these books present wholesome values in an entertaining format for young adult and adult readers of medieval epic fantasy written in the modes of Tolkien and Lewis.

About Janalyn Voigt
Her father’s bedtime stories unfolded exotic places like Oz and Neverland. Janalyn’s imagination carried on with the tales and she later created her own. She soon became the neighborhood storyteller. Her sixth-grade teacher encouraged her ability to spin a tale and at age twelve Janalyn decided to become a novelist. Fulfilling that dream took years but now her stories intrigue a larger and eager audience.

Welcome to the WarOnChristmas Advent Blog Tour!
ADVENT TOUR:
The War on Christmas
Battles in Faith, Tradition and Religious Expression
Bodie Hodge, General Editor
Answers in Genesis ©2013
Master Books div. of New Leaf Publishing Group, Inc.
149 pp. (ppbk)

Chapters 16 and 17 of this book ask did Mary remain a virgin all her life?

A book called Infancy Gospel of James, the Protoevangelium of James, or sometimes simply The Protoevangelium was written about the middle of the second century. This writing apparently first proclaimed the idea that Mary remained a virgin her entire life. The book was declared a forgery by the early church, the author for credibility trying to capitalize on the name of James the half-brother of Christ..

However, even today, some folks follow the errors of this book. Mary was a special woman in God’s sight, but nevertheless an ordinary human wife and mother.

Scripture clearly mentions brothers and a sister than were born to Mary after the birth of Jesus, with Joseph as the likely father. Christians need to believe what God says, and not teachings supposedly claiming they are truth.

When Elephants Dance, a Novel
Tess Uriza Holthe ©2002
Penguin Books
ISBN 978-0-14-20028809 (ppbk)
368 pp.

The Americans are invading the Philippines to conquer the Japanese, near the end of World War II. Filipino Guerrilla forces fight each other as much as the Japanese, but one group, headed by Dominic, joins the Americans. He also tries to rescue his family from a Japanese prison in a Manila warehouse.
While hiding, the family and neighbors share stories of their past lives, as lessons to others in the group. The stories add a huge measure of interest to the book.
The Japanese atrocities and guerrilla retributions are horrific, but the truth of those times needs to be widely known.
Dominic, in the end loses what he loved best, but does not regret his role as a guerrilla leader to free his country.
The book is exceptionally well written and deserves its win as a NY Times Best seller and a number of other honors.

Defined by readers and reviewers as a “wise teacher,” “gentleman adventurer,” “consummate writer,” and “Renaissance man,” his work in business took him to over 40 countries around the world, and his books have sold more than seven million copies in sixteen languages.

Strait of Hormuz
Davis Bunn ©2013
Bethany House Publishers
ISBN 978-0-7642-1138-6
(ppbk)

Marc Royce has again been called to investigate a matter that could involve the whole world in war, started unwittingly by the United States. As usual, Marc’s appointment upsets powerful government leaders, so he must work without official sanction and against numerous attempts to have him removed from the case.

A mysterious caller directs Kitra to join Marc in Switzerland and save his life. As she enters an art gallery where Marc has discovered a dead body, a bomb destroys the entire gallery. The Swiss police immediately accuse Marc of murder and the bombing.

The threat that Iran is shipping nuclear weapons through the Strait of Hormuz has American was ships heading that way to stop the shipment. But no one knows which ships hold the weapons because containers have been moved several times to new vessels. If no weapons travel through the Strait, the US will be embarrassed in front of the entire world.

From time to time phone calls from unknown people direct Marc and Kitra how to proceed. Certain people may or may not be on their side. Who and what can they trust?

Marc finally figures out the real danger and at the last moment directs the destruction of terrorists’ threats. What he learns and does surprises everyone.

Like others in this series, Strait of Hormuz is fiction based on possible real world dangers. A good read.
