Heaven is for Real A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

Heaven is for Real A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

By Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent

I could not wait to receive this book.  I was so excited to see it available on Booksneeze.com.

Once I received it I read it in one day.  It was a heartfelt true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.   The boy had described and told the story of how he met his great grandfather who died long before he was born.

This book gives you faith that there is hope and that heaven is a wonderful place.  I loved this book and viewing heaven in the four year olds eyes and experience.

I would recommend this book to anyone having doubts about heaven.

Thank You Book Sneeze.

The Grace of God by Andy Stanley

The Grace of God by Andy Stanley

This is a Review for The Grace of God.

This was a good read.  It teaches you how God’s grace can and will transform you.   The author describes the true meaning of grace and how it cannot be earned, bought or even be deserved, but it is a gift given freely because of God’s love for us.

He takes the reader through the lives of Abram, Judah, Moses and the Israelites to explore God's grace as it pertains to relationship with God and with the Law.

I have read several other books on the topic of grace, and some have left me overwhelmed, confused, or thankful. This book however left me changed. With a deeper understanding of grace.

I do recommend to anyone.

Transforming Church in Rural America, written by Shannon O’Dell

Transforming Church in Rural America, written by Shannon O’Dell

This is a review for Transforming church in Rural America written by Shannon O’Dell.  I am reviewing this book on behalf of Booksneeze.

This novel focusing on rural churches in America and has a strong focus on the struggles going on in rural Christianity, with limited parishioners, no funds for repair or anything else, and little hope that things with change and will be restored to what it once was.

This book really hit home for me as I am from a small town, with a small church in which in is desperate need for repairs.  This book was a ray of hope for me and my small town.  It explains how to generate growth thru transformed lives, ways to create hope and faith in the community thru the people, frugal ways to change and help repair the church. 

This Book has been a true inspiration to me, no matter what size church you are part of this book will help you and challenge your tradition thinking and ways and force you to look further then the now and more on the what will be.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Booksneeze.com book review bloggers program.  I was not required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.
