Study Guide Included in Book

There are so few times that I have read/studied a book that exudes the love of God, and Holy Spirit awakenings as this book does! It fits no matter what your age, color, creed, religion, God's love will awaken you and touch you as you read.

According to the words of Perkins, we need to be ready to fall on our knees for repentance. Not only to God, but to fellow members on this excursion of life. We must have forgiveness. Only then can we be reconciled with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

I was blessed to be raised by parents who taught us this premise. We took the little children's song "Jesus Loves the Little Children" to heart. Do you remember the chorus? "Red and yellow black or white, They are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world."

We have to face our prejudices. Our racism. Even when we think we have no racism in us, pray, keep praying, keep praying. Kneel and pray again! God will strip you of all of this. It is at this point, we can truly look at one another and not see the color of the skin.  God has put us (ministers, missionaries, lay workers) in the middle of a world that cries out for His mercy! His Children cry out for the shape of the world, and sincerely desire His return!

Once we have broken free of the bondage of seeing with the eyes, then we can see with ourspirit. And we can become "one blood". One church. 

The book has a study guide in the back that will walk you through becoming "One Blood". It can be used for groups, but I found the book to be more of Perkins self-reflection. And I know i did a lot of self-inspection, and crying on my knees. I believe that this will reach the masses better if it passed on.Study the book. Do not just read it through. Ask God to open your eyes and your heart, so that you will be receptive to what Pastor Perkins is saying. When you finish your book, pass it on to someone you think might be receptive to the read. 

I give the author...

...FIVE STARS,

The Cabinet of Curosities by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

 

The Cabinet of Curiosities

Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

Warner Books

Copyright 2002 © Splendide Mendax Inc., and Lincoln Child

ISBN:

629 pages

    This was a bit more of a book than I have been reading lately. Quite lengthy. But I couldn't put it down (I am lae in coming to know these characters and the writers).

    Special Agent Pendergast and archaeologist Nora Kelly team up again in this thrilling adventure, bone-chilling, novel. And as always, Lincoln and Child keep us on the edge of our seat anticipating their next move. The highs and lows were spectacular!

    As they work independently, and again together, we read a well researched novel that can only be called "spectacular"!

    When a centuries old mass murder is uncovered, Pendergast and Kelly are the only locals that can cover it and perhaps provide information that will provent a "copycat" from adding to the death toll. Is a killer from the 19th century back from the grave? Only these two can find the truth.

   I highly recommend this novel if you enjoy action, adventure, mystery, crime, and just a bit of the paranormal. 

I give this novel

ISBN: 978-1-5387-4722-3 (hardcover)

First Edition: August 2019

I have long been a fan of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child! This book doesn't leave you lacking for adventure and excitement! 

This novel includes our favorite heroine, Nora Kelly. The archeologist is sent on an assignment to the great northwest of the United States, in search of the lost Donner party camp. What she finds will require assist from the local Sheriff's department, as well as the FBI. 

She finds the camp, but what she finds there may cost more than what she's bargained for. It may cost her very life. With a twist you just won't see coming, I highly recommend this novel for any Preston & Childs fans. (And if you're not, this is a great place to start!) 

I give this novel Five Stars 

and a big Thumbs Up!

Origin by Dan Brown...03 January 2021

 

Origin

by Dan Brown

copyright ©  2017 by Dan Brown

Published by Doubleday a division of Penguin Random House

ISBN 9780386614231 (hardcover)

This is a novel that spans 456 pages in the hardback variety. I was hooked by the first page from the start! I simply couldn't put it back down! It really is a work of art. And once again Langdon comes in at the very beginning. His ability to read and understand symbols is put to the test on this book!

Langdon takes hold of the beautiful fiancee of a soon to be king. The whole event takes place in less than 14 hours. Amazing! The writing of Brown again makes it plausible that this could happen!

Langdon teams up with a computer named Winston, and if not for the computer the duo would not have been able to accomplish that that they must.

A death of the man who insituted a gala evening meant the couple were being stalked by the murderrer.

And once again, Langdon was left to wonder about his own religious views, if any. And in that, we are reminded of Angels and Demons, the book that was second best to The DaVinci Code. Brown has written a superb novel here. However, even that he has carried the hero from the first, it seems like he used a shortcut in the ending. It just didn't add up the way that it should. Perhaps Brown wrote it this way just to make us poor schmucks have to use our brain and ask, is the story even plausible?

That being said, I loved the book! Can't wait to read more!
