Kay Warren has put together from her immense experience of 40 years  as a pastor’s wife.   

Every pastor’s wife will enjoy reading this book that Mrs. Warren has compiled and put her lifetime of experiences for all of us pastor’s wives to read.

I myself enjoyed this and I was able to get so much out of this book.   I know that Mrs. Warren is the pastor’s wife of a very large church, but even if you are in the smallest of churches you can still use and apply a lot of the experience from Mrs. Warren.

When I first started reading the book, it seemed more like a biography, but as you read through her life and experience, you can learn so much that you can use in your own life and ministry. 

I have read many books for and written by pastor’s wives and I have enjoyed and uses many of them.   This is a great new book that many will like to read.

All in all, I would give this book a 3-star rating.

Transformed

From the publisher:

How do we address, deal with, and encounter hardship? How do we embrace the kingdom message involving redemption and restoration, but also help people feel safe to be honest? How do we remove the stigma surrounding broken areas--areas where people aren't healed--and address suffering?

Transformed takes Romans 12:1-8 as its central text and each chapter begins with a verse. The theme of the book is change. True change doesn't come about from a quick fix, which in charismatic circles is generally through the laying on of hands; it takes sacrifice, sweat, and suffering. This is the key to morality, integrity, and longevity in the Christian faith.

Ms. Wimber has a good message to give to the readers.   Se outlines clearly why we need a relationship with Christ.  As we try to walk with Him, we are transformed each and every day.   This would be a good book to read for those who are interested in a deeper walk with Christ.  The book does make you think about your own walk with Christ and how to have a deeper relationship with Him.

My concerns:  I think the book is well written, but I am very concerned about women pastors.   This pastor is from a liberal church, and my suggestion is to read it with those thoughts in mind.

I give this book a rating of 3 stars

Too Deep For Words

This is the sequel to A Thousand Shall Fall we find 

Carrie Ann Collier has been a newlywed for nineteen blissful days--as happy as life can be in the midst of war, that is. Soon that war will take a tur she never expected. When her new husband, Peyton, goes missing during battle, she refuses to believe he is dead and must find a way to move forward with everyday life in the face of fear.

As Carrie struggles with how to welcome her estranged sister, Margaret, back into her life, another new arrival appears on her doorstep--her husband’s best friend, and rebel officer, Eli. Wounded and bitter, Eli is nonetheless committed to keeping his promise to Peyton: take care of the Collier women, no matter what. But to Carrie, he’s a painful reminder of her lost love.

Then unexpected news makes Carrie wonder if miracles do happen. If Carrie i worms her way into the enemy once again, she might find out what really happened to the love of her life. Will Eli be able to keep his promise to keep her safe? Can they forgive each other if promises are broken?

Once again, we are given a well-researched novel that will thrill those who love Christian historical novels.  

This novel will keep you on pins and needles, a book that is hard to put down and very easy to read.   

The author has a way of bringing the reader into the story and living life with the characters.  It will remind you to never give up, to always keep your faith in God.
