"In The Flesh" a book by Michael Gabriele

  I recently read a remarkable book that was written by the author  Michael Gabriele.  This book is titled, "In The Flesh".  It is written from the view of Jesus himself.  The most remarkable story ever told is written as Jesus felt, loved and died.  Walk with Jesus from 3 years before his death, to his death, then the resurrection.
  I love the story of Jesus and his walk on Earth as a human through the picking of the apostles and on up until the crucifixion.  Having read the Bible, watched movies and heard the story, I definitely know the ending, but never have I thought about how Jesus actually felt during those times.  Michael Gabriele places you in the sandals of Jesus and you come about as close to the real thing as possible.

The Mustard Seed - a Book by Peter Szondy based on the story by G.M. Mercier E-Book Review/Giveaway

"Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it"

Luke 18:17

  I received the most wonderful chance to read a remarkable book titled, "The Mustard Seed".  I really could not quit reading this book.  The company allowed me a month to read this book and write my review - I read it in 1 night.  It is that good and I found myself caught up in each page and unable to put it down.
 G.M. Mercier has a grandaughter who had been diagnosed with a tumor near her heart and this inspired him to tell a similar story which was written by Peter Szondy into this book titled, "The Mustard Seed".
 This story begins with a beautiful little girl named Sara.  This angelic little girl seems to always do everything right and she is so very kind to everyone.  Sara is 8 years old and she lives with her mother, father and older brother, named Danny in a small town in California.  Sara also has a grandfather that lives on a ranch with a beautiful lake, where her mother grew up.  Sara also attends a little church where she loves going every Sunday and she believes very strongly in Jesus.
 One Sunday Sara and her mom and brother decide to visit the grandfather, Sam, on his ranch.  Sara's grandmother died before she was born.  The death of Sam's wife caused Sam to not be a regular church goer and instead he usually hangs out at a local Catina.  On this day the kids can't wait to get to grandad's house.  As soon as they pull up a talk to grandad, the kids grab a picnic lunch and head off to the lake. 

"How will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we illustrate it? It's like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the Earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the Earth, yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."

But Alexandria ignores this royal reassignment, believing her parents are still alive and duly following clues that may lead to their whereabouts. Gabriel, pressured by what are actually the King’s ulterior motives, pursues her across windswept England and the rolling green hills of Ireland but is always one step behind.

"The Reason Why" by Mark Mittelberg review

"The Reason Why" by Mark Mittelberg

review

The first book, with this same title, was written in the early 1900's by Robert Laidlaw. Mr. Laidlaw tried then to explain the reasons why God is real and that everything written in the Bible was true.  Mark Mittelberg felt that this story needed re-telling so he wrote another book with the same title and same message.

"The Reason Why" is a very short book, totaling only 127 pages. This small book is packed with huge examples of why we human beings are here and why faith in the words of the prophets are true.
