EMOTIONS: CONFRONT THE LIES, CONQUER WITH TRUTH by Dr. Charles F. Stanley
Writing with the concern of a counselor, the passion of a
pastor, and the skill of a scribe, Dr. Charles Stanley presents EMOTIONS for
your edification and inspiration; the subtitle clearly states the course of the
book: CONFRONT THE LIES, CONQUER WITH
TRUTH.
And Dr. Stanley does just that. Just to clear the air, I’m coming to this
review with a HUGE bias – Dr. Stanley (though we’ve never met in person) has
been one of my favorite writers and speakers for over two decades. I was introduced to his messages by my
mother-in-law, and was skeptical at first.
Because I was a fundamental Baptist (and MAD about!), and Dr. Stanley
was affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. I don’t need to say anything more on that
score. Either you catch my drift, or you
don’t.
But about halfway through the first message, I turned to my mother-in-law
and said, “he don’t preach like a Southern Baptist, do he!” I was hooked, and I’ve broken spiritual bread
with him on numerous occasions since that time.
From page one of EMOTIONS, Dr. Stanley places the emphasis
squarely on the most crucial aspect of the topic: a
relationship with Jesus Christ as one’s personal Savior and Lord. Without that relationship in place, one is
never going to be able to even open an honest discussion concerning ones
emotions.
From there, Dr. Stanley takes one on a journey through the
emotions of pain, fear, rejection, bitterness, guilt and despair. He shares illustrations drawn from his own
personal journey, as well as those of others.
While not exhaustive, this book is nevertheless complete, as Dr. Stanley
does not just provide case studies; he provides Biblical principles that will
never change, regardless of the particular circumstances one may be facing.
Thank you, Dr. Stanley, for the courage to tackle such a
sensitive subject . . . and for shining God’s truth into the dark plans of our
adversary.
I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an
honest review.
5 stars for an inspiring book that draws one closer to God

Unlimited Suspense! Unlimited Intrigue! Unlimited Action! UNLIMITED . . . by Davis Bunn!
Simon
Orwell is a brilliant student whose life has taken a series of wrong
turns. At the point of giving up on his
dreams, he gets a call from an old professor who has discovered a breakthrough
in a device that would create unlimited energy.
With
his masterful style fully displayed, and his ability to apply a lesson on
several levels, Davis Bunn once again invites you – no, drags you – into another
life-altering saga.
The
world has always been searching for the unlimited – unlimited wealth, unlimited
power, unlimited passion, unlimited
health. But they’ve been looking for the unlimited in all
the wrong places. While struggling to
provide unlimited electricity to an orphanage in Mexico
Riddled
with twists and turns, this book demands your close attention. Because everything is not what it seems to
be, and danger, suspense, intrigue – and even romance – await you upon every
turn of the page.
I
received a complimentary copy of this book from B&H Publishing Group in

FLORIAN'S GATE by Davis Bunn
George
Santayana declcared, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to
repeat it."
But
what happens when you cannot make peace with the past?
What
happens when the past has such an iron grip, that it actually controls your
present, and dictates your future?
Ask
that question of Jeffrey, a former corporate suit, turned antiques dealer by a
chance meeting with family he'd never known he had. A young man who has locked
up his past, and thrown away the key.
Ask
that question of Katya, the one woman Jeffrey desperately loves, and whose past
refuses to allow her to love in return.
Ask
that question of Viktor, Jeffrey's mentor in the ethereal, gritty world of
antiquities acquisitions. A man whose life was defined by a number from an
early age, and whose memories are the stuff of nightmares.
When
American Jeffrey Sinclair starts a new life in London Europe , he discovers
that the source of the antiques is not the only secret Alexander is hiding.
Davis
Bunn lifts the veil from a world that most of us have never even considered,
even as he deals with those aspects of life that many have never come to terms
with. His research is, as usual, meticulous. His lessons are, as usual,
life-altering. You'll come to love Jeffrey, Katya, and Viktor as really good
friends, as they each make peace with their past through the only means
possible.
5
stars.

MEMORY'S DOOR BY JAMES L. RUBART
In Soul’s Gate, spiritual warfare took on dimensions of
Biblical proportion. In Memory’s Door, the next step is
taken. And I wondered, as I wandered
through this book – is James Rubart at times overcome by the truths which he is
communicating? Does he feel his soul
being wrenched with the passion he infuses into his “works of fiction?”
I experienced, vicariously,
the thrills of victory . . . and the agonies of defeat (pardon the clichés) of
the various members of Warriors Riding as they come to grips with the
inevitable truth: as powerful as their
ministry is in the lives of others, they, too, stand in need of healing. And forgiveness. And yes, even confession of sin, and the
grace and mercy which accompanies such confessions.
For the Temple is in need of
healing; the Song is out of tune, the Leader has lost her way, and the Teacher
must once again become the student in a school where the lessons come hard, and
the final exam is Pass . . . or Fail.
And eternal souls hang in the
balance.
James Rubart has once again
crafted a work that will take you from page one to the end in such a way that
you won’t even feel like you are reading a book. There were times when I had to simply put the
book down, and walk away, because what was being communicated was too difficult
to face at the time. But the book kept
drawing me back, as all good ones will.
Thank you, James Rubart, for
your passion . . . and for not pulling any punches.
