Book Review: "Anything" by Jennie Allen

I was recently sent a complimentary copy of the book "Anything" by Jennie Allen from Thomas Nelson Publishing. This is the same author that wrote the Bible study I reviewed not long ago, "Stuck." Jennie is a Bible teacher who has a heart for God's Word and a heart for women. In this new book, "Anything," Jennie and her husband pray a very courageous prayer. Tired of the same old day in and day out life where things are safe and comfortable, they decide to pray together one night and this one prayer changes everything. It was a simple prayer of "God we will do ANYTHING." God loves those who fully surrender their hearts and lives to Him. We should be living as if God is our everything and give ourselves fully to Him every day. This prayer of surrender they prayed changed them personally, their families, and their church in ways they never thought possible. They went from living safe and happy lives, to living surrendered and courageous lives for God. If we would give our lives to God fully in surrender without reserve, God can then accomplish all His plans for our lives!! I really enjoyed the chance to read this book and review it. I would recommend it to all women looking to live a life fully surrendered to God.

DVD Review: "Three Hearts"

I recently received a complimentary copy of the DVD "Three Hearts" from Thomas Nelson Publishing as part of the Booksneeze book review program. The opinions below are my honest opinions of the movie. In this wonderful movie, Cissie Graham Lynch, the granddaughter of Billy Graham, goes on an incredible journey. Through the Children's Heart Project she is able to travel to Mongolia to help bring three children to America to repair their congenital heart defects, that if not treated will result in death. This documentary style movie shows all of the steps taken to travel to Mongolia and get these children to the hospital in Texas where their surgeries will take place. Two host families in Texas also participate in this journey by keeping the children in their homes to care for them and also their mothers. These nurses and doctors volunteer to save the lives of these three children. I have a cousin who has two children who were born with deadly congenital heart defects. They are blessed enough to get immediate treatment because they live in America. This story truly touched me to watch the lengths that Children's Heart Project goes to in order to save these children's lives. Wonderful movie!!
