This is a great book. My book is highlighted, marked, posted with posted notes, etc.. I have found it beneficial when I do not know what or how to pray about concerning my children. It is biblical with verses that match the prayers. I have bought several book and given them as gifts for friends. The Power of a Praying wife is great as well. I highly recommend.

I have completed book #2. I like the references to The Bible because I do not have a full knowledge of passages and verses. This makes me want to know exactly what The Bible is saying about topics relating to the  Anti-Christ and other chapters relating to expectations in this world. I do  believe that Tribulation Force talks about the challenges faced by Buck,  Chloe, Rayford, Bruce, Loretta, etc. during those times. It may be  something to agree or disagree with if it were truly real. I know and like  the idea of the mixture of truth and fiction.
Tribulation Force makes  you see the importance of strengthening your faith, beliefs and asking  questions that need answers. I am presently finishing up book #3 showing  how Nicolae starts to show who he really is. People in Tribulation Force  thought that Nicole was the best that might ever come along. He was so  perfect, and that was part of the problem because he led everyone to think  he was "perfect." They believed he was The Messiah. He wreaks  havoc over nations and has people doing things they do not even recognize  as wrong. He delights in his power. Some of the same things could be  happening in this day and age. I am certain there are Nicole's (as in the  Left Behind series) in this world and may be hard to recognize.
The Left  Behind series started with a referral from a friend. Once I started it, I  have told others and they are wrapped up in the books. None of the books  are to be taken, in my estimation, literally. The references to The Bible  are fact, but the interpretation may not be. It gives me a reason to go and  read further; it gives me more basis to listen carefully when our minister  is giving his sermon and each book makes me strengthen my faith. I, along  with many others, think the Left Behind series is excellent. The first book  was introductory, and the Tribulation Force starts to build this incredible  picture of 'good vs. evil.' One really can read and make a choice has to  which appeals to them. I will continue to read the rest of the series and  wait for the others to make their appearance.

Wow - this book really made me re-examine what I thought about these villains from the Bible.  I found it difficult to put this book down because I wanted to know what happened next!  Even though I was familiar with these bible stories, he approached them in a different light and it really makes me challenge what I thought was a simple villain story.

You don't need to be a biblical scholar to fully enjoy this book.  He applies scripture in a way thats non-threatening and easy to understand.  The fiction sections are clearly broken out from the non-fiction portion.

As a woman, I appreciate the way he wrote around the female characters.  Jezebel is usually portrayed as a sexual being first and foremost.  He looked at her from an intellectual perspective and I loved it.  I find myself thinking about what Id read days after I had completed a chapter.  It sticks with you and I loved it.

I cant believe this is JR Forasteros 1st book.  He truly has a gift with words and has a way of conveying bible stories so it feels like Im hearing them for the 1st time.  I throughly enjoyed it and cant wait for his next product.  Ill be first in line to buy more from this author!

Your Beautiful Purpose by Susie Larson is a book I chose to review with a decent level of interest in seeing what was written about what God can do through us. Even in the midst of a huge move, I kept up with reading this book almost every day until I finished it! The lay out was wonderful ...  each chapter started with a relevant verse and quote.
I noticed right away - the writing backed by Scripture so I jotted down each Scripture reference shared to look up more in depth as I went. I ended up with a few pages worth! Very nice to have all the points better understood through God's Word.

The book starts out with encouragement for the reader to push past unbelief and "trust Jesus to move forward in faith" and the whole book supports this to the end. I personally was inspired to make God's call a higher priority in my life and to follow His lead and not the zillions of distractions swamping every day.

I considered having a Woman's Bible study in my home or at church using this book!

Bethany House publishers sent me this book for an honest review and I am so glad they did!

I bought this book yesterday at 4pm and read it in one sitting.  I was sitting for awhile ;)  It was fascinating to watch the transformation of Jacobs as he went through the process of trying to follow the bible as literally as possible.  I kept turning the page hoping that he would be saved.  During the first 8 months it was overwhelming how many rules and guidelines that were to be followed according to the laws of the old testament.  In fact it is impossible.  He broke many of them over and over.  The only thing I wish is that he had spent more time trying to understand the new testament.  To me the biggest relief would have been that he didn't have to continue following all the rules and guidelines.  That through acceptance of Jesus we are forgiven.  Jacobs saw how impossible it was to follow those rules and didn't really put the two together.  I think he was close a couple of times.  Overall this book was awesome and I do hope that Jacobs won't shed all he learned and experienced during his year of living biblically.  I think his character changed through out the project and for the better (not that it seemed he had bad character in the beginning ;)

This is a very interesting book to read and holds your attention.  You don't want to put it down, but more importantly it is based fully on bible truth.  It is a great biblical learning tool.  I have read it three times and will likely read it more.  It nutshells the basic bible knowledge  in a common language anyone can understand.  It supports all biblical information with scripture, book and verse.

This book is phenomenal! It picks up where the last one left off, it is told in a realistic manner, and with characters that are very relatable. The book is filled with real life emotions and situations and scriptures combined with spiritual advice to go with those feelings. Recommended for any woman or man who is looking for an awesome Christian based read!

What a great book! Thanks, Kevin, for the Biblical references and for pointing out Biblical principles we could, and should, use in our businesses. I especially like the part about,  "Operating outside your talents and gift is soul-sucking." What a great reminder to do what we are good at and what we love...not what we don't care about. And there is Biblical support! There is so much information in this book! I have several people I want to recommend read it. Thank you!

This is definitely based on Biblical teachings.  It's certainly theologically sound and at the same time is often witty.  Animal loving Christians will obviously love this book.  Counting myself as one, I certainly recommend it to the hilt.

I'm enjoying this study very much so far.  It is well thought out and Biblical.  Each chapter encourages the reader to read the Scripture first and work through some questions before reading the author's perspective.  Thanks!
