If I Plug My Ears, God Can't Tell Me What To Do by Jessie Clemence

I loved this book by Jessie Clemence. With truth, humor, and direct questions, she tackles the topic of obeying God when He tells us to do something. It does not matter what you have done. God is not done with you yet. Find your gift and do your part. This book takes you from getting started with doing what God's called you to do, to how to prepare, to what to watch out for, and gives lots of encouragement for stepping out of your comfort zone and following God. She uses people from the Bible and their struggles and accomplishments to show how God moved. Nothing they did was insignificant. God took their obedience and worked great things. He can do the same through you. Many scriptural references are used to encourage us to follow God's will for our lives as well as stories from contemporary folks who stepped out and obeyed God.

Pick up this great book today and start listening for what God wants you to do. There are questions at the end of each chapter to help you work though each chapter and get the most out of it, including scriptural references.

What You Need to Know About Bible Prophecy By Max Anders

I really enjoyed this book. It is set up as a bible study in 12 lessons. There is a section at the beginning of the book that tells you how to teach the book if you were leading a bible study. The chapters are short enough to read in one sitting and then there are questions at the end. For Further Thought and For Further Study sections are included at the end of each chapter as well. I think this book would be better in a group setting as opposed to studying it alone unless you already know a lot about the Bible. It does a good job of explaining what it is talking about in each section, but I think it would be beneficial to have others to talk to and discuss the book with as you go along. The best part of the book is the Why I Need to Know This box in each chapter. It makes the material relevant to me and in today’s time. I received this book free from Thomas Nelson in exchange for a book review
