Every so often I really enjoy reading a good daily devotional book and God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea by Rose Chandler Johnson hit the spot. This book is as refreshing as an ice cold glass of sweet tea (Pun intended).

The author did a great job of developing a daily devotional which was easy to read and apply. Her format was excellent for applying it to your daily prayer time and journaling. I really found it helpful in renewing my personal prayer time.

Rose Chandler Johnson book is a great devotional for both new Christians who are just beginning their walk and for seasoned prayer warriors. Whether new or seasoned it is good to step back and take a fresh look at our prayer lives.

I really like God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea by Rose Chandler Johnson and highly recommend it to all readers.

Dragonflies, Ketchup, and Late-Night Phone Calls by Daphne Tarango is an excellent guide to improve the quality of your prayer life and your relationship with God.

This 31 day pray journal is a collection of great prayers to follow and use to help guide your prayer life to the next level. I found the quotes and prayers helped me realize all the little thing I have to be thankful for. It is amazing how easy it is to take the blessings of life for granted.

I really enjoyed this book and feel it has helped me focus on the basics and realize how God is at work in my life. Daphne Tarango’s style of writing and the format of the 31 day guide has caused me to bring focus to my prayer life.

I really enjoyed Dragonflies, Ketchup, and Late-Night Phone Calls by Daphne Tarango and I highly recommend it to all readers.

The 10 Biggest Lies About God & The Truth That Will Set You Free by Krystal Kuehan is an excellent bible study that every child of God should read.  It is full of great information and is right on point.

I like the way the author dealt with the lies that Christians hear and fall victim to. She took a systematic approach to dealing with each of the ten most common misconceptions that try to still a Christian’s joy.

What I liked best is she debunked each lie the way you should by always addressing a misunderstanding of God by using God’s word, The Bible, to explain God’s plan for your life. I have always been taught to use The Bible to interpret The Bible.

The 10 Biggest Lies About God & The Truth That Will Set You Free by Krystal Kuehan is an excellent, easy to read and understand study and I highly recommend it to all readers.

Psalm 119 – Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet by Deborah H. Bateman is an excellent commentary and Bible study of the longest chapter found in the Bible. Though it could be read as a daily study, I found I could not put it down and finished it in a couple of reading sessions.
Deborah H. Bateman did a great job of putting together a short, concise guide to this powerful Psalm. Her style of writing made it easy to follow and understand. Her narrative was both simple and to the point, while leaving plenty of room for the reader to apply the verses to their life and situation.
At the end of each lesson the author asked several questions in a section called “Things to Think About.” I found these to be very thought provoking and extremely insightful.
I really enjoyed Psalm 119 – Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet by Deborah H. Bateman and I highly recommend this book to all readers.

A Psalm for the Battle by Martin Roth is a short devotional on Psalm 18. It reflects on the verses and how they apply to the role of Christians in the military.

It is an excellent study using both cross references in the Bible and commentary from other authors and sources. I especially like the reflections from actual soldiers and leaders as they discuss their life and experiences in the military.

The commentary is well thought out and the presentation is easy to read and understand. I have read several works by Martin Roth and this book, like those, are both well written and clearly presented.

I really enjoyed A Psalm for the Battle by Martin Roth and I highly recommend it to all readers.

Love, Justice and Power: The Message of Passover for Christians by Martin Roth is an excellent teaching on the meanings of the Passover and its applications to modern Christian life.

I really enjoyed the way the author delved into the historical and biblical significance of the Passover. I have always liked studying Hebrew history and the various feasts they celebrate. Most modern Christians have forgotten the deep connection between our beliefs and the Jewish feast. Martin Roth did an excellent job of tying it together.

I totally enjoyed reading Love, Justice and Power: The Message of Passover for Christians by Martin Roth. I highly recommend the book to all readers. It will make a great addition to your bible study library.

Boomerang: The Return of the Prodigal Son by Britt Rickey is the story of, in the author’s words: “A wayward son. A broken father. An angry brother. A story for today.” It is a great study of God’s unending love taken from the story of the prodigal son out of the Bible.

The author did an excellent job of breaking the story down into its individual segments and analyzing each. He was able to relate each to everyday situations and the personal needs of modern day life. I especially like how the author related his own personal life events with the story. This added another level of realism to the life application.

Britt Rickey’s style of writing made it easy to follow the story and various sub-themes in the text. He brought the story down to my level and comfort zone. This helped me personalize the story and apply it to my life.

I really enjoyed reading Boomerang: The Return of the Prodigal Son and highly recommend it to all readers. Everyone will find some life application in this book.

Trees of the Book by Kimberly Payne is a great children’s activity book describing some of the trees mention in the Bible.  It is well written and illustrated.

I found the description of the trees very informative, easy to understand on an elementary level. It is fun the way she related each to a passage in the Bible describing how God actually used that type of tree.

The activity section with each tree was both a learning tool and fun to do. This book will keep your child’s interested.

I enjoyed Trees of the Book by Kimberly Payne and highly recommend it. It is a must add to your entire child’s home reading and would make an awesome Bible study addition.
