Do What Jesus Did

Robby Dawkins gives personal testimony and instruction to his readers in his book "Do What Jesus Did." Robby Dawkins has been working in a mighty way for God. He has tapped into the true power that is available for us. He has become a vessel of God's love and healing to so many people.

I was hooked from the very first chapter when Robby shares of how men from a gang came into the church in a confrontational way. However, they left changed men! Not only did their lives change, but they were influential in sharing how this change was available to so many others.

I requested to review this book because it seemed to line up with a class that I was taking at church about operating in the gifts of the Spirit. I was amazed at how closely this book lined up with what I had learned at my class. It was not an accident that this book came across my path. I believe 100% that it was a God thing! He wanted me to read this book to continue to learn of how to live in His Spirit.

Robby Dawkins does a wonderful job of encouraging others to reach out to the lost. He mentions so many times that we do not have to be perfect to reach out to others; we just have to be a willing vessel. God will give Dawkins a word of knowledge about someone and Dawkins does a wonderful job of giving that word in a loving way.

I read this book while on vacation. It was so good that I started reading many parts out loud to my husband. My 12 year old daughter would see me reading and take her head phones off and listen. At one time she asked, "Mom, can you read some more from that book." It opened up a door to share with her about the love of Christ and how she can walk in the light of God's Word and be used by Him.

I cannot wait to recommend this book to others! As I was reading it, one person came to my mind over and over. I will be recommending this book to her first!

I received a complementary copy of this book from Chosen a division of Baker Publishing Group. I was not paid for this review. These views are strictly my own.

Angels By My Side

Angels By My Side is one of the most encouraging books that I have ever read about angelic experiences. I have always been very interested in hearing people's accounts of angelic visitations. I never cease to rejoice at the amazing ways that God uses angels to minister to us in our life.

Betty Malz does a superb job of sharing with her readers different ways that angels can visit us and help us. I have always wondered if we each have one guardian angel throughout our time on this earth. I still do not know the answer, but I definitely do believe that angels are as real as the sun.

The Scripture "be careful lest ye be entertaining angels unaware" has always stood out to me and proved true in our modern day. It was so encouraging to read about how two parents were visited by an angel during the darkest days of their lives. These parents brought their child home for what looked like could be the last weekend of her short life. When a man knocked on the door asking for something to eat, it would have been very easy for them to turn him away. However, they did not. They prepared him food. It's amazing how they were entertaining an angel, but were not aware of it until after. Their child was healed and the faith of these parents grew!

I would definitely recommend this book! I can't wait to pass it on to others to read! I received a complementary copy of "Angels By My Side" from Chosen (A Division of Baker Publishing Group). I was not paid for this review. These opinions are strictly mine.
