AWESOME WONDER:The Gift of Remembrance

This was really an awesome book. As I explored every page of this book, I really began to really feel and understand why so many Christians tend to walk away from God, the ones that actually grew up in the church. The character Paige Covington was a woman, that for many years had been hurt by several things that happened right in the church. Especially when she witnessed and experienced it first hand. How can you be or should I say a Christian and live two different lives? Had it ever occurred that we should be very careful in how we conduct ourselves at all times? Well for some reason or another Paige despised hypocrites that said they did things in THE NAME OF GOD?

As a child she indeed love the Lord with all her heart, but being hurt at the hands of someone else emotionally and sometimes physically, had really caused her to question God about how he allowed these people to act like this. We shouldn't be watching others' but in fact we everyday, but what happens when there's a person in a position that's abusing the saints of God. Do you stay and pray or do you move and seek elsewhere. Paige did just that she left, she married well, had a great job and a adorable son. Life was just grand until she heard a VOICE!! Trying to ignore it, but of course she began to hear the VOICE more frequently. After all that she had endured she would keep right on ignoring it.

When God calls you, just because we tend to ignore doesn't mean He's changed His mind about what has been said. She never realized that he was in fact calling her and she had been commissioned, but one day she really needed to some answers. God sure does know how to get our attention, and Paige found out just how much she had been missing, but not paying attention and what she'd done along the way. Not forgiving doesn't ease the pain, it hurts others.

When reading this book, you'll feel and see what Paige and so many others are dealing with right to this day. We need be mindful of our behavior, you can fool some people some and maybe even most of the time. However you cannot fool GOD!!! He's always watching.

The Blood Done Signed My Name
By: M. Ann Ricks

The character Honey Lamb in the novel "The Blood Done Signed My Name" was powerful and uplifting, inspirational as I turned the pages, I could feel so much of this woman as she went throughout her life carrying the sins of her mother with her.  She hated her mother in every way possible, Honey wondered why a woman a mother that gave birth to a child hated her so much, and did everything she could to make her feel her pain. Honey was a woman that felt no matter what she was destined to be like her mother, because she shared her blood. She finally left the only home she knew to runaway from her past, but when you are destined to do a thing running is not always the best thing, because you will find yourself back at square one again. This novel will bring tears to your eyes, as use begin to see the hurt and pain that she suffered, so many times people will say that generational curses can plague families for many years until someone, STOPS AND PRAYS!!! I believe that is why right to this day so many people struggle with these issues, we need to fall to our knees and let enemy know he has no power over us.

It wasn't until Honey became an adult after leaving home, in other words the place she called Hell which was Alabama. When looking at the story of how Honey's life was about to unfold she suffered a great deal, but GOD always has someone there when you need it. Leaving home to set out to find a little happiness was what she desired more that anything she finally married a wonderful man, but her past wouldn't allow her to be happy, she felt so unworthy of such. Her past and not knowing her true existence, or where she came from haunted her.  So many times we as Christians suffer the same trials and tribulations as Honey did, her family had issues with alcoholism, drug addiction, molestation,homosexuality and abandonment and so much more, and we being to question God why did these things happen to us and how could He allow these things to happen to us?

Honey had no idea, about how God really and truly loved her and what he had planned for her life, she was just about to allow the enemy to take everything that God had given her, until she realized she had what I would like to call a angel looking out for her, just when we think things couldn't get any worse, it does and it brings us to our knees, and surrender totally to the Master, Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord!!

Find out what Honey Lamb runs into when she returns back to Alabama, what is discovered as she gets of the plane. What did she loose or did she find the answers to her past?  See who was protecting her while she was left alone in a world with no family. Did she find refuge? Can God be the answer she needed with all that she had to endured of the years?

I would recommend this book it will give it 5 Flames!!!!!

This unique story depicts the life of a young woman Selenae, that has been though so much in her young years. She never really knew what the true meaning of love was all about. As a teenager she asked her mother why don't you love me the way you love my brothers' then being told by her very own mother that she wasn't worth the very air she breaths.

That was a hard blow to swallow. In her quest to find happiness she fell for the rude, bad boy Michael he wasn't the best thing she needed in her life, but she felt she needed him. In her quest she knew that placing the blame on others was much easier than accepting that sometimes she allowed people into her world that caused her pain, but Selene knew that she couldn't keep going down this road.

And not owing up to her own faults. See what happens to make her change and start accepting that Men Are Not The Problem.

I feel this book will make you take a look at your own life and have you do some self examination yourself. This book would make a great gift for that special someone that is struggling with emotional issues and will enlighten them on how they can take charge of their own life.

These characters in this book will have you absolutely on edge of your seat, from all the drama in their lives. They are seeking to find satisfaction, intimacy from the ones that they have come to love deeply.

Some of them even stumble while forfeiting their own feelings to make others happy. Somewhere on this journey in seeking a bit of harmony the character Leslie feels something that is not familiar at all.

Kendrick is not whom he should be as a man, but will he get it together right before its much too late? Oh and that Devine- DIVA with a mind to make it do what it do, to pay her way, can or will she find her way out of the drama she has created along the way.

Beautiful

"I really enjoyed this Novel "Beautiful" by Kiexiza Tashua Rodriquez, for me I believe that Tierra (Ti) was a woman that had dealt with so much pain from her past .That she really became numb to any kind of relationship other than her family and close childhood friends and then she was very careful of what she shared with them, the fear of not wanting them to pass judgement on her.

This was a love/romance story of a hardworking woman that had been suffering in silence for so long, that when she decides to allow herself to feel something for a guy she knew deep in her gut it was just all wrong. Tierra then is faced to deal with the issues of being sexually assaulted, and having trust issues to even complicate things. She finds herself confused on the edge of losing the little sanity that she still has and finds herself on the couch with a therapist. She had even given up on God, because to her in her eyes God had given up on her by allowing the horrible things in her life happen. There's Qu the boy next door the one person she trusted with her life, he had been her protector all their childhood. Whenever you saw Tierra (Ti) you saw Qu. Deep inside Tierra's torn heart she knew that her bestfriend Qu had feelings for her, but she was running from the truth, that she had strong feelings for him, but was afraid.

They shared almost everything, until somethings are revealed in the heat of rage. This novel "Beautiful" was by far a page turner, I had to keep changing positions as I curled up with novel. One things is for sure "Beautiful" will make you laugh, cry, and you wonder about the power of prayer, and faith in God and even have you to re-think what kind of relationship you have with God in the time of need and even make your heart skip a few beats just thinking about what will happen next.

I again enjoyed every single page, and the characters will keep you guessing as to what will they do. I'm looking forward to and is so anxious and to ready to read the sequel. I'm going to have to give Kiexiza Rodriquez 5 flame!
