There is a time for everything

I got this book from: Blogging for Books


In this generation, people are always looking for the easiest way out of things. No one has the patience now to "smell the roses". They can't even wait for the roses to open to enjoy them. People are always rushing around now and with the latest technology, they are now taking the speed of the Internet for granted along with other things like the smart phone and the ipad 2.

In the book, the bride and the groom-to-be, works out a plan to get what they both want. By the fate of God, they both end up falling in love with each other. But the process was very intricate, as both wanted to use each other to get what they wanted.

I learned in this book that most often times, the things you want in life is not always the best things. God is right in telling us to wait a little longer or saying no when we ask for things. Because He knows the future, we should just leave everything to God and let Him take care of our tomorrows.

Hand in Hand

I got this book for free from: Blogging for Books

As a child, no matter how far you stray, someone is bound to come after you and pull you back. That's how I felt about this particular book. It seems that God is the alarm clock that suddenly Awakens you in your reverie and pulls you back into an intimate relationship with you.

This book greatly aroused me in my dreamland and got me back on the right track with God. Stovall Weems helps put the Awakening into words that helps each person get right back on track with God.
