Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table ~ Review

Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table
It's Time to Win the Battle of Your Mind...
By Louie Giglio


When we are in the midst of troubles and stresses of life don't ask God to get you out of whatever you are facing. Rather THANK God for being there with you. In the Psalms we read about God preparing a place for us at His table in the midst  of our enemies.  But all too often this table that is meant for just us and God finds Satan joining us because we invite him to the table. We allow our fears, our anger, our doubts, our feelings to issue an invitation to the enemy of our soul and our Savior. 

All we need to allow the Devil to join us at our table is to give him the slightest opening. We need to refuse him access and call on Jesus's name to turn him away.  Wanting more of the material parts of the world, succumbing to temptations, dissatisfaction with your life is a big flashing invitation to our table.  Anything that is a normal part of our life the Devil can use against it. He can be empathetic - just look at how Eve was tempted to sin. He wants to steal everything we value, break our relationship with God, destroy the connections we have with our family and friends. 

Sometimes we don't even realize that we have been enjoying years in the presence of our enemy because we welcomed him to our table not realizing who we were offering an open invitation to. And once the enemy has joined us he isn't willing going to leave our table. Rather he wants us to leave the table that God has prepared for us, convincing us that the next table over is better than what God has offered to us. The freedom offered by the enemy finds us shackling our selves to him. We've allowed him to lead us away from God fully entrenched in the lies he has been whispering in our ears. He appeals to our basic needs with false promises. Temptation isn't sin if we reject the temptation BUT if we act on it whether in thought or deed is sin. Stop your thoughts before they lead you on the path to Hell. Don't compound your sin with more sin - this is never the answer to feeling better. Sin is the opening the Devil needs to condemn us - throwing our shortcomings back at us. 

When we are in the presence of God, our Good Shepherd, He provides us with encouragement as we go through the dark valleys of life. He travels the route with us always offering us His hand if only we don't turn away seeking the false promises of ease. God allows us to face the challenges before us but He is our biggest advocate in the encouragement department.  We need to remember that God HAS OUR BACKS! And there is always a way out of these lies. it isn't easy but it is doable if only we listen to God instead of the enemy and open our eyes to see with faith. We can counter the enemy's attacks by calling on the power of Jesus's name. 

It is never too late to get out of sin before it happens. Each way out gets smaller the closer you get to sin. When given an out take it. Sin will never give you the lasting feeling that you will get from an intimate relationship with God. Take time to spend time alone with God - learn His voice so the enemy cannot deceive you into listening to the wrong voice.  You can be the person He created you to be and it starts in your mind, your heart, and your soul.  This is where the battle line with the enemy is drawn and the choice is yours. Choose wisely your life depends on it.

I really enjoyed (though enjoyed isn't quite the right word for it) this audiobook. This is one that you'll want to keep handy and listen to more than once. There is much to help you grow in your relationship with God and to help you see past the blinders that are distorting your vision.  It is time to take the place in the story of your life that God has written for you. Don't let your story be destroyed by reaching out to God today. God exalted Jesus and we should exalt Him in our own life and not bow to the lies and temptations of the enemy of all. I highly recommend this book it has much to offer for believers and to those who are seekers standing at the crossroad. 

I was provided a complimentary copy of this audiobook with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own. 


About the Audiobook:

Louie Giglio helps you find encouragement, hope, and strength in the

midst of any valley as you reject the enemy voices of
fear, rage, lust, insecurity, anxiety, despair, temptation, or defeat.

Scripture is clear: the Enemy is a liar who will stop at nothing to tempt you into poor decisions and self-defeating mindsets, making you feel afraid, angry, anxious, or defeated. It is all too easy for Satan to weasel his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and your King. But you can fight back.

Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table outlines the ways to overcome those lies so you can find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. With the same bold, exciting approach to Scripture as employed in Goliath Must Fall and his other previous works, pastor Louie Giglio examines Psalm 23 in fresh ways, highlighting verse 5: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”

You can find freedom from insecurity, temptation, and defeat—if you allow Jesus, the Shepherd, to lead the battle for your mind and heart. This spiritual warfare book for those who are leery of spiritual warfare books will resonate with Louie’s core Passion tribe as well as with Christians of all ages who want to live a triumphant life in God.

When Stars Rain Down ~ Review with GIveaway

When Stars Rain Down
By Angela Jackson-Brown

It's 1936, and in Parsons, Georgia, the tension and anger are as hot if not hotter than the temperatures. And no relief is in sight. The Klan is determined to keep the residents of Colored Town in their place and Opal Pruitt is caught in the middle of everything. Soon to turn 18, Opal's life is in a state of flux with everything that is going on around her and her own conflicted feelings.

This is an emotionally moving and heartbreaking story. Everything that takes place during this summer will literally move one to tears. It is an excellent work though difficult at times as Opal deals with what life is currently giving her. 

Hated and demeaned for the color of her skin, Opal's life though difficult is not awful. She has family and friends who love, respect and care for her. But on the cusp of adulthood, her world starts crashing in around her. Seeing the world through her eyes isn't easy but I would highly recommend this book to adult and older teen readers. This book is both beautiful and ugly at the same time much like the fallen and broken world that we live in. 

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.


About the Book:
This summer has the potential to change everything.
The summer of 1936 in Parsons, Georgia, is unseasonably hot, and Opal Pruitt can sense a nameless storm coming. She hopes this foreboding feeling won’t overshadow her upcoming eighteenth birthday or the annual Founder’s Day celebration in just a few weeks. As hard as she works in the home of the widow Miss Peggy, Opal enjoys having something to look forward to.
But when the Ku Klux Klan descends on Opal’s neighborhood of Colored Town, the tight-knit community is shaken in every way. Parsons’s residents—both Black and white—are forced to acknowledge the unspoken codes of conduct in their post-Reconstruction era town. To complicate matters, Opal finds herself torn between two unexpected romantic interests, awakening many new emotions. She never thought that becoming a woman would bring with it such complicated decisions about what type of person she wants to be.
In When Stars Rain Down, Angela Jackson-Brown introduces us to a small Southern town grappling with haunting questions still relevant today—and to a young woman whose search for meaning resonates across the ages.

Drive ~ Review

Drive: 9 Lessons to Win in Business and in Life
By Kelley Earnhardt Miller
With Beth Clark
Forward by Dale Earnhardt JR.
First, off I'll admit it I'm not a NASCAR fan. I've seen it in passing but my dad was a fan - not diehard but if a race was on and he was off for the day he'd watch it. But whether or not you are into NASCAR this book has a lot to offer. Glimpses of what life behind the scenes is like for those who are in it and the personal perspective of the family behind the racer.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller offers a glimpse into her life as the daughter of Dale Earnhardt and as a NASCAR driver and as a businesswoman. She offers valuable insights on how to succeed in life and in business while drawing on her own experiences and overcoming obstacles along the way.
I really think the following quote is an excellent summation of what this book is all about. "Our early days don't have to dictate the rest of our lives, but they do influence and determine much about the way we think and feel, the way we relate to others, the way we approach and solve problems, our work ethic, our likes and dislikes, and our priorities." Your past has shaped your present but you can determine how your future will play out. It is up to you to define who you are with what you have been given. 
I received a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I offer my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About Drive: 9 Lessons to Win in Business and in Life

Paperback: 224 Pages

Publisher: Thomas Nelson (February 9, 2021)

Successful businesswoman and daughter of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Sr. shares her story of growing up in the world of auto racing and the lessons she learned along the way.

Just like a racecar as it takes to the track, each of us needs a certain amount of fine-tuning for our journey through life. In Drive, Kelley Earnhardt Miller, daughter of Dale Earnhardt Sr. and sister to Dale Jr., opens up about growing up in the world of NASCAR, sharing the lessons she learned about being a successful business leader and what she discovered, often the hard way, about winning in life.

Kelley never felt she was winning at anything until she began to deal with the thoughts and feelings that were driving her decisions and taking her in the wrong direction. Her journey of transformation is what empowered her to run the family business in an entirely different way than she had previously and to lead people not only with her head but also with her heart.

Drive offers nine important lessons learned about winning in business and in life, given not as a formula for greatness but as insight from a fellow traveler on a journey that is sometimes difficult, painful, unexpected, or confusing—and sometimes exhilarating and joyful:

  • Be Authentic and Approachable
  • Know How to Make Decisions
  • Position for Success
  • Let Go to Move Forward
  • Customize Your Communication
  • Aim for the Win-Win
  • Manage Your Emotions
  • Balance Your Work With Your Life
  • Lead from the Heart

Become a stronger person and a more effective leader by facing the truth about your own life in a healthy way, and then drive to the win!

The Girl in the Painting ~ Review

The Girl in the Painting
By Tea Cooper

The Girl in the Painting is set in Australia in the late 1860s through 1913. The story focuses on these two different time periods as we, the readers get a chance to know Michael and Elizabeth Quinn and Jane Piper a young orphan they take in.

The earlier timeline follows Michael and Elizabeth as they leave England behind and make a home in Australia. But life isn't easy for a 15-year-old boy with a young sister to care for. But building upon the dreams and work of his parents Michael and Elizabeth manage to make not only a home but a name for themselves. Not content to revel in their material means they make a place in their home and businesses for orphans and the underprivileged. 

Jane's gift with numbers finds her in a unique position within the Quinn household, not a servant and not quite family. She calls the Quinns Aunt and Uncle and when old enough finds a place within their business. In her opinion, Jane is blessed and lucky with how her life has turned out. But when a shadow of the past enters their life Elizabeth finds herself lost. As Jane puts it "Aunt Elizabeth has had a turn." And if the cause is not determined the life that Jane, Michael, and Elizabeth share may never be the same.

The Girl in the Painting is not presented in a true linear chronology as the past and the present proceed to their climax. Each time period slowly reveals that everything is not as it first appears. And finding the truth is essential to both Elizabeth and Jane in their quest to finding where they belong. 

This book doesn't glamorize the past, it shares the prejudices and hardships that afflict many who called this vast land home. But what makes someplace a home and how do we know it when we encounter it? This is a moving story that should not be missed. This is the second book by Tea Cooper that I have had the pleasure of reading and it is as good as the other book I read (The Woman in the Green Dress). If you want Historical Fiction with a touch of Romance give this book a chance and add it to your TBR list - trust me you won't be sorry.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.


About The Girl in the Painting
Paperback: 384 Pages
Publisher: Thomas Nelson (March 9, 2021)
A young prodigy in need of a family. 
A painting that shatters a woman’s peace. 
And a decades-old mystery demanding to be solved.

Australia, 1906

Orphan Jane Piper is nine years old when philanthropist siblings Michael and Elizabeth Quinn take her into their home to further her schooling. The Quinns are no strangers to hardship— having arrived in Australia as penniless immigrants, they now care for others as lost as they once were.

Despite Jane’s mysterious past, her remarkable aptitude for mathematics takes her far over the next seven years, and her relationship with Elizabeth and Michael flourishes as she plays an increasingly prominent part in their business.

But when Elizabeth reacts in terror to an exhibition at the local gallery, Jane realizes no one knows Elizabeth after all—not even Elizabeth herself. As the past and the present converge and Elizabeth’s grasp on reality loosens, Jane sets out to unravel Elizabeth’s story before it is too late.

From the gritty reality of the Australian goldfields to the grand institutions of Sydney, this compelling novel takes us on a mystery across continents and decades as both women finally discover a place to call home.

Limitless ~ Review with Giveaway

Limitless
The Power of Hope and Resilience to Overcome Circumstance
By Mallory Weggemann
With Tiffany Yecke Brooks

Mallory's childhood was one of happy memories but her family wasn't unfamiliar with heartache and struggles. So when a medical procedure went wrong, altering her life permanently she had a foundation on which to build on and the strength of her family to help see her through it. 

With hard work, Mallory remade her life but swimming was something that carried over. Swimming provided a challenge that forced her to improve herself. And competing was a goal that could be defined and focused on. But when an accident threatens the life she has created she needs to rediscover who she is and what defines her life.

When life throws us the unexpected we are left with questions. Questions that must be answered, that demand a response from us. If we don't respond we will be stuck, limiting ourselves. But with the love and support of those closest to us, we can respond. As circumstances change our response may change, but it is our choice. And our choices are limitless, defined only by the limits we place upon ourselves.

Limitless falls into the self-help, motivational genre with a good dose of biographical material as we are taken on a journey of discovery through Mallory Weggemann's life. A life of highs and lows. Joys and disappointments. A life filled with family, love, and support. Throughout this book, there are little gems of wisdom that are best stored away to provide us with needed treasure when we too face challenges. 

This book would make an excellent book club selection. If one is drawn to "the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat" this would be a worthy choice to add to your shelf of books. If you are asking why and unable to find an answer this book may help you find peace in not knowing.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:
Hardcover: 272 Pages
Publisher: Thomas Nelson (March 2, 2021)

The Paralympic gold-medalist, world champion swimmer, ESPY winner, and NBC Sports commentator uses her extraordinary story to equip others to meet whatever challenges they face in life.

On January 21, 2008, a routine medical procedure left Mallory Weggemann paralyzed from her waist down. Less than two years later, Mallory had broken eight world records, and by the 2012 Paralympic Games, she held fifteen world records and thirty-four American records. Two years later a devastating fall severely damaged her left arm, yet Mallory refused to give up. After two reconstructive surgeries and extended rehab, she won two golds and a silver at the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships. And perhaps most significantly, she found confidence, independence, and persevering love as she walked down the aisle on her wedding day.

Mallory’s extraordinary resilience and uncompromising commitment to excellence are rooted in her resolve, perseverance, and sheer grit. In this remarkable new book, Mallory shares the lessons she learned by pushing past every obstacle, expectation, and limitation that stood in her way, including the need to:

  • redefine limitations;
  • remember that healing is not chronological;
  • be willing to fail;
  • and embrace your comeback.

Mallory’s story reminds us that whatever circumstances we face, we have the capacity to face down whatever challenges, labels, or difficulties confront us–and to do so on our own terms.
