"Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence" by Sarah Young

After many long years of writing a prayer journal, Sarah Young decided it was time to share with the world the teachings God was bestowing upon her. She started writing down in a journal whatever God was communicating to her, but after some time she realized that her writings weren’t as inspirational as Scripture, although it did help her get closer to the Lord.

She decided to re-organize her writings from Jesus’ point of view, dedicating half a page to a full page for every day of the year. Each page can be best described as bringing to you a specific teaching from Jesus. While unfortunately there were many who simply pretended to have a powerful spiritual connection with God in order to extort money from the faithful, Sarah Young doesn’t fall into that category.

When I was reading it, I felt as if each passage written down in that book had a little bit to teach me about how to live happily and prosperously while maintaining a close relationship with the Lord Almighty. Also, I should add that this book has actually carried me through some tough times; when things went bad, I went to that book and was reminded that regardless of what happens, the Lord does indeed love me, and is always by my side.

Jesus Calling by Sarah Young (Book cover)
All in all, I would just like to conclude by saying that if you are looking is a well thought-out devotional book that will help you grow closer to God without taking up too much time or resources, then you should at least take a look at Jesus Calling; it helped me, it helped others, and there is no reason as to why it cannot help you.

“The Girl on the Stairs” by Barry Ernest – The Small Thorn you Can’t Ignore

Image
Girl on the Stairs , by Barry Ernest and with a foreword written by David Lifton, is an exploration of one specific aspect of the JFK assassination. More precisely, it looks into what a little girl by the name of Victoria Adams saw on that day while standing in the staircase of the Texas School Book Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald was supposedly making his escape.  Actually, it is more about what she didn’t see than what she did see. Victoria was on the staircase Oswald supposedly used, at the exact same time he supposedly used it. If he were to be there, even the little girl she was, Victoria would have noticed a nervous man quickly running down the stairs. However, she says that on that day, she was alone there, with nobody to be found, especially Oswald.
