God Heals: Eight Keys to Defeat Sickness and Receive Divine Healing by Steve Austin

 

God Heals: Eight Keys to Defeat Sickness and Receive Divine Healing by Steve Austin is book that offers hope for all Christians battling a serious illness (or their loved ones).

God Heals is divided into eight sections with key takeaways: God is a Healer, Unleashing the Power of Faith, Miracle in Your Mouth, Prayer That Works, Praise Precedes the Victory, Healing the Soul, Winning the Invisible Battle, and Taking Care of Your Temple. Following the eight keys, there is a chapter about how Jesus used healing in the Bible and then a chapter of short devotions designed to build faith in the reader to receive healing.

I learned a lot through God Heals. There was also information I already knew as a Christian but some of it I needed a reminder or refresher on. All of the information is presented with Scripture to back it up. There are also some good real life stories of healing in the book, which are also encouraging. At the same time, Austin shares how and why healing may not happen in this world. 

I especially liked the prayers to pray that were throughout God Heals. I also liked the Scripture to write and remember to keep in your head or to pray over your loved one, if you are not the one who is ill. I also like that Austin points out that our body is a temple and we have a responsibility to do our part in taking care of it so he offers some basic dietary and exercise advice (which is based on some solid functional medical doctors' advice that Austin references.) I think God Heals would be appropriate for any Christians. It is published by a charismatic publisher and Joel Osteen writes the forward--but the information is solid for any Christian who believes Jesus is their savior. Everything is backed up with Scripture that applies to all Christians. I think it would make a good gift for someone who is seriously ill, or their loved one, besides purchasing a copy for your own situation. For me, it is a keeper book to have in my library for whenever I want to reference it.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.

Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? by Paula Faris Illustrated by Bhagya Madanasinghe

  I think there has always been a lot of pressure on adults and children to "do" something big with their lives in the way of career. We do often ask children, What do you want to Do When you Grow up?" Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? by Paula Faris changes the tone and the outlook for children with this book. I am not sure I can begin to tell you how much I love this book, but I will try. Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? has beautiful bright illustrations. I also love that the illustrations are inclusive and show children of all colors, cultures and backgrounds. I think that background adds to the appeal of the book. This is a large children's book, measuring about 9 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches in size and 32 pages long. It is aimed at children ages four to eight but it really is a timeless message that could appeal to people of all ages.   Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? features a girl named Lina who doesn't know what she wants to "be&quo
