The Evangelism Study Bible NKJV New King James Version

Image
When I first received The Evangelism Study Bible in the mail , I had no idea where to begin or end in order to write a book review for Kregel. Thank goodness, I could see from the contents and other Bible aides that user friendly would be the perfect term to describe this Bible. I became very interested in reading this Bible and looking through it.  My knowledge about the term evangelism is almost nil. It is my desire to describe in a goodly manner the fine points of this Bible. For one, there is a short, simple synopsis of the Bible books. These short plot outlines do not veer away from the subject evangelism. For example, one of the descriptions of Job is: "How to Witness to Suffering people(6:14-21). Under the subject of Job there are seven topics about evangelism. I had no idea the Book of Job could be used for witnessing. Another topic is: How To Witness In The Aftermath Of Tragedy." It's easy to see that the books are for everyday usage. These are subjects an

Wondrous Words

A lychgate , also spelled lichgate , lycugate , or as two separate words lych gate , (from Old English lic , corpse) is a gateway covered with a roof found at the entrance to a traditional English or English-style churchyard . Examples exist also outside the British Isles in places such as Sweden.Wikipedia (Bing) Lychgate appeared more than a few times in A Saintly Killing by Martha Ockley. Took its appearance for granted and didn't write down a sentence. I had no idea what one would look like. I had never heard or read the word. In this instance, the lychgate is part of a vicarage. http://bermudaonion.wordpress.com

First Chapter First Paragraph

"When Caroline Meeber boarded the afternoon train for Chicago, her total outfit consisted of a small trunk, a cheap imitation alligator-skin satchel, a small lunch in a paper box, and a yellow leather snap purse, containing her ticket, a scrap of paper with her sister's address in Van Buren Street, and four dollars in money. It was in August, 1889. She was eighteen years of age, bright, timid, and full of the illusions of ignorance and youth." http://bibliophilebythesea.blogspot.com

Am I Close to the Garden Wall or Am I Blowing in the Breeze?

Image
It's always fun to read and look at other blogs. It's impossible not to get excited. The blogs really inspire me to try a different path.In other words, this might have worked once. Now it doesn't work. Then, there are times when friends publish books while keeping a blog. I wonder how. Then, think there is always time. It's a matter of me using my time well. I've read those wise words somewhere or heard  the words spoken by a relative or friend. However, there are the quiet times. At the time I'm not looking at blogs. I choose a moment to think. Seldom, but sometimes I wonder where have I gone, what have I done, am I even alive? I can answer yes. I truly believe wherever I am is where God wants me. For me, I've always gotten lost somewhere near the bottom of the ladder. I'm that far behind, and I am still a little lost, confused and afraid. At this time, I can praise others as they travel a mite quicker on life's journey. And that's al

The Secret of Pembrooke Park by Julie Klassen

Image
Friday, January 2, 2015 Bethany House Pub. Pembrooke Park is a mansion which belonged to a family named Pembrooke. Pembrooke Park is in England. The time is the Nineteenth Century. Each person has a personal reason to return to Pembrooke Park. For those who are already living there, Pembrooke Park is like a living place that they pay tribute to each day by telling about hauntings and treasure. All have one thing in common. There is a need to make peace with the past. This is Christian Fiction at its best. Julie Klassen is an author with an extraordinary ability to make the past come alive. There are fine details that can not go unnoticed: a dollhouse, a green cloaked man or just his skull, a rusty gun, letters and journal entries placed between bricks in a wall, an emerald necklace and even a secret room. What really stays with me is the power of a scandal to hurt or destroy people. It hurts the people directly involved and those who just like a nicely pa
