Too Soon to Say Goodbye by Osborn, Kosman & Gordon



My Review
This book is a wonderful book for those that are grieving the lose of friend or loved one due to suicide, or for someone who wants to help those grieving. The authors share stories of those that have survived and are moving on with their life. There is also helpful insight from a counseling professional. Grieving is different for everyone. The poems, stories, letters and reflecting questions found in this book will help the survivor to find hope and healing in the midst of sorrow. Comfort, healing and peace can be found in God alone, but it sure helps to have friends when we find ourselves traveling the road of sorrow. This book helps the reader gain courage to go on and hope to be free to live again. There are resource pages with 800 #'s and web sites for national and international help. A suicide facts list is also included in the book. Others have found hope and redemption and you can too. You'll find that there is hope, you can accept your loss, let go, move on and find a new normal in life. Learn from those that have been there. This book is a wonderful resource.

For this giveaway I'm just asking that you be a follower or a subscriber. If you are both then you'll have two tries to win this book. Please US residents only. I will draw a winner on June 30th. Be sure to leave a way of contact.

God's Truth Revealed by Kathy Howard


This book is a 12 week Bible study that deals with the most important truth in the world: a biblical understanding concerning the purpose of life, more important "YOUR LIFE". When the course is complete the student will have an understanding of their relationship with God. God has chosen to reveal Himself to us through His Word. Man must want to know the truth and be seeking for it though. John 8:31 & 32 ~ " Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." The only thing required is a real desire to know God.

The basic design of this study is to present the basic beliefs of Christianity using the Bible as the textbook and the Holy Spirit as the teacher. It can be used by an individual or in a group setting. Allow for at least 30 to 45 minutes per session.

The author uses scripture as well as personal stories to get her points across. Each session has a Find Out More section for more study on the topic discussed. At the end of the book are pages of useful resources and tools:
  • Churchy words dictionary
  • guides and plans
  • Bible reading plans
  • Bible memory plans
  • recommended resources
  • how to lead a study as well as a leader's guide for using the book

You may visit the author's web site here.


Note from the author:
Thanks so much for reviewing "God's Truth Revealed." I hope your readers will find the book and the resources on my website helpful! They can also see the book trailer and download the first session of the book at www.godstruthrevealed.org

New Hope blog blast freaturing No Greater Love by Kathi Macias

About the book:

Forbidden romance, an unlikely martyr and an even more unlikely hero. Orphaned four years earlier when their parents, active in the African National Congress (ANC) movement against apartheid, were murdered—16-year-old Chioma and her 15-year-old brother Masozi now live and work on an Afrikaner family’s farm.
When Chioma and Andrew, the farm owner’s son, find themselves attracted to one another, tragedy revisits their lives. Chioma escapes to join an ANC rebel band in her effort to survive and gain revenge for her family and culture. When cultures clash in life-or-death struggles, Chioma must choose between violence and revenge—or forgiveness and selfless love.
Loosely based on historical events and set near Pretoria, South Africa, in the violent upheaval prior to ANC leader Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in 1990 and his ascendance to the presidency of South Africa, this story of forbidden romance produces an unlikely martyr who is replaced by one even more unlikely.

At the end of the 5 daily sessions is a faith in action wrap-up for applying what is learned over the 5 days along with a prayer.

Face-to-Face with Mary and Martha
sisters in Christ
Summery:
Through this interactive study of Mary and Martha of Bethany, women will learn to embrace their diversity as sisters in Christ. God has blessed the body of Christ with a variety of spiritual gifts, personalities, and life experiences. By discovering and combining these, women can learn to complement one another in serving the church and reaching out in love to others. As sisters in Christ, they can realize their potential for accomplishing all the purposes that God has for them.


Face-to Face with Elizabeth and Mary
generation to generation
Summery:
After telling Mary that she would be a virgin who gives birth to God’s son, the angel Gabrielle mentions that Mary’s older relative Elizabeth is also having a miraculous pregnancy. The Bible tells us that Mary immediately went to visit Elizabeth. We can only speculate as to why Mary did not stay home with her own mother, but it could be because Mary knew she needed to talk to another woman who could relate to and understand her situation—she needed a Spiritual Mother.


Face-to-Face with Euodia and Syntyche
from conflict to community
Summery:
Women—and men—may not admit to having disagreements or conflicts, but the very lack of admission to this inevitable aspect of relationships accentuates the tremendous need for learning how to deal with conflict. People–including those who develop a close relationship of any kind—will disagree eventually. However, when women avoid resolving disagreements, relationships end without reconciliation, and this compromises ministry success. Face-to-Face with Euodia and Syntyche explores the causes of conflict and how Christians can biblically achieve a resolution and reconciliation.


This giveaway will have two mandatory questions to comment on:
1.) Visit Woman to Woman site here and come back and tell me something you learned or something you saw of interest.
