BOOK REVIEW: Seeing the Unseen

If you want to read a book that will challenge you and open your eyes to a closer walk with the Lord, this is the book.
 
Seeing the Unseen by T. W. Hunt I enjoyed reading because it open my eyes as a Christian what I should be doing in my life. Sure, your faith tells you He's present in the world, but what if you could truly recognize God as being right next to you every moment? What if your faith could deepen beyond what you can see to a richer level of experiencing the invisible hand of God in your relationships, work, and play?
 
The book is only 102 page of reading but it is very good read and a good reference book if you choose to keep it in your book library. I found myself with paper and pen in hand and find I would like to skim back through the book to for scriptures and reasoning that will disciple me down the right mindset path.
 
Again, this is a great read and if you can pick up a copy of this book; I recommend it.

BOOK REVIEW: The Final Summit by Andy Andrews

If you were able to travel through time meeting some of the greatest leaders throughout history, what would you hope to learn from them?
 
David then spends the next 28 years applying The Seven Decisions to his life and business, benefiting himself, his family, and countless other people around him. His success hit a snag at one point, only to rise to even greater heights as he embraces Truman's lesson that "Adversity is preparation for greatness.
 
The Final Summit by Andy Andrews; David Ponder's world has once again been shaken. His beloved wife, Ellen, suddenly and unexpectedly dies in her sleep, and he's at a complete and total loss without her.
 
Imagine a theater in heaven filled with some of the greatest figures in the history of the world, people whose brilliant minds, accomplishments and courage transcend time. Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, King David and George Washington Carver are a few of Andrews' time Travelers.
 
Perhaps it is also a clue as to what we all must do to help bring sanity back to our world, our communities and our families.

Genesis 46:1–4

"So Jacob set out for Egypt with all his possessions. And when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac. During the night God spoke to him in a vision. 'Jacob! Jacob!' he called.

"'Here I am,' Jacob replied.

"'I am God, the God of your father,' the voice said. 'Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make your family into a great nation. I will go with you down to Egypt, and I will bring you back again. You will die in Egypt, but Joseph will be with you to close your eyes.'"
 
 
God again appeared to Jacob. Notice when he did this: after Jacob had worshiped God. Worship opens our hearts to God's messages. If you need to hear a clear word from God today, start by worshiping him. Focus on who he is and how he has acted in history and in your life. He will reveal more of himself as you focus on what he has already revealed.
