CBM Book Review - Transforming the Mundane into Sacred: Spirituality in Caregiving for the Elderly
Robyn Horn writes with wisdom and Biblical insight from a caregiver’s perspective. Sharing a wealth of resources gathered from first-hand experience as a caregiver, and combining the journeys of others, she invites readers to view caregiving as a ministry. This is an invitation into service and worship to God in ways you never imagined. As a child of God, we are called to value the elderly, and remember mercy and compassion, in doing so, we reap benefits as well. Inspiring, encouraging, and enlightening her book highlights the transformation of the mundane into a sacred service and environment, for both the caregiver and the elderly.
Recommended for anyone at any stage of caregiving, and also for those in the healthcare/social services field. The collective overview presented in this book will also prepare someone with rich resources and tips. Her insight and knowledge of psychology, alongside the physical and emotional demands of caregiving resulting in stress is invaluable! The testimonies inspire; she has also covered a wide range of scenarios, including caring for Alzheimer's patients. Her book lifts readers into the spiritual aspect of ministering to the caregiver with Biblical principles, the fruit of the Spirit, and administering the Word of God within the grief process, as well as addressing the practical.
Witty acronyms, loads of encouragement, memorable poems, and chalked full of teaching from Scripture enhance each chapter ending in a reflection section with questions for readers making this book delightfully interactive, challenging them to overcome and come up higher in their walk with God, reflecting the true character of Christ. With such chapters as: God Places High Value on the Elderly, What is Spirituality in Caregiving? Your Identity as a Caregiver, Embracing God’s Love, Begin Your Day with God, Fruit of the Spirit, Turning Stressed into Blessed, Providing Care to a Person with Alzheimer's Disease, Spirituality in Professional Healthcare, Advance Care Planning, Palliative Care and Hospice, Spiritual Ways to Cope with Grief, and Reflection: What Has God Taught Us?
This is a beautiful and God-breathed book and vocation! Even mothers who are caregivers to their children, family, and extended family members, friends, and co-workers will benefit from this book.
I love this quote in this Facebook post at the end of her book! “Someone somewhere is depending on you to do what God has called you to do.” To all the “someones somewhere,” thank you for allowing me to share God’s message with you. ~ Robyn Horn

CBM Christian Book Review - The Ultimate Victory: Becoming a Follower of Jesus
Dr. James B. Joseph writes a book that will help you to increase in the knowledge of becoming a follower of Jesus as a disciple of Christ. Finding victory in life requires choice and commitment as he states, “Whatever one ultimately decides determines one’s eternal destiny.”
Being “born again” is just the beginning of trusting in one’s salvation as he teaches believing in Jesus is not just a “pass to Heaven.” Teaching those who are called and chosen brings deep understanding and joy in being “Sons of God.” Given the right to become a child of God is a choice. Adoption into the family of God gives godly empowerment for those who follow Jesus to do His will and trust His purposes for them in His Creation. Those who do not understand that God desires a freewill righteous Bride will discover eternal separation from God, as we are appointed to die once, and then comes the judgment. Understanding the ways of God, Kingdom principles and Satan’s schemes is key to understanding what being a follower of Jesus requires.
“Reading through this book will help you realize more fully what God is asking of each of us and what Satan is doing to quench the leading of the Holy Spirit,” states Dr. Joseph. Categories deepen one’s walk with God, such as: Understanding God’s Creation through Its Completion, Experiencing Good and Evil Demands a Decision, Understanding the Basics of Spiritual Warfare, Waking Up Spiritually, The Extreme Intimacy Within God’s Eternal Holy Family, Becoming a Follower of Jesus is the Ultimate Victory of Life, Walking with Others in the Church, and Helping Others Know God bring discernment, edification and leads to much joy in righteousness, as one becomes conformed to the image of Christ.
This book teaches righteousness and the overall design of God, His purpose for Creation, and your part as one who belongs to God. You are deeply loved and regarded as the Crown Jewel in the eyes of God. Discover your purpose, calling, and learn Kingdom principles in this book written to help readers know God more intimately and on a much deeper level. Choosing the narrow path might be difficult, as he tells readers the truth of what it takes to follow Jesus and why it is so important that you do so. God desires inner peace and joy for all His children. Fostering faith and truth from Scripture, the author highlights that for one to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit is paramount in becoming a follower of Jesus.

CBM Christian Book Review - Feed People, (Dream, Believe, Follow)
Stepping out in faith after hearing from God, Donna Rollyson and her husband, Ed, begin a journey of obedience to the Lord. Fascinating, this true story reveals God’s mighty miracle-working power in having a calling if you believe upon the Lord, Jesus. He can make all things new. Feeding People is a wonderful testament to the goodness of God! Ultimately, this book reveals the restoration found in finding purpose in one’s calling. Her life motto could be “God knows and sees, just trust and obey.”
CBM Christian Book Review - Speaking the Truth in Love: Navigating the Waves of the Culture
Some may wonder, what is happening to our world? With wisdom, the author gives answers to help Christians retain their godliness in a world that is full of deception, false doctrines, and false teachers. He takes readers back to the Word of God and reminds us of who we are in Christ, and Who we worship. He encourages readers to be transformed into the image of Christ in a world filled with offense and division. Within this context, he speaks the truth in love using Scripture to exhort believers to run the race well!
In his Epilogue, (which brought tears to my eyes due to his fiery conviction, I might add), he speaks of “Healing the Land.” Thus, this book is a cry for the spiritual healing of our land, starting with the Church first. We have ignored God’s house for too long. It’s time to come back, stand firm, and hold to the Lord and His Word. Again, one might ask, what does that look like? Read the book, as he expands on his answers to counter the cultural pressures for the cause of Christ. He stresses God’s righteousness, admonishes sinful living, advocates a reverential awe of our holy God, being renewed in our mind through the Holy Spirit, and obedience to the Word of God as our foundation for living. He states, “Only those anchored in Jesus will hold their course.”
A highly, yet concise, and biblical read for the times we live in! I would recommend this book to anyone looking to “stand firm” in their faith.

A CBM Christian Book Review - Known Before Birth
It sheds light on the heart of the matter that, God knew you before you were born, and that He had a plan in mind when He created us!
He writes that in a world of change, one thing is for sure, “*God’s integrity, His faithfulness, His promises, and God’s ultimate plan for us will never change.”
This is such an amazing book that gives readers encouragement and understanding of the sovereignty and love of their Creator.

It is written with simple compassion, revealing the heart of God, combined with sound Biblical principles that are practical. This book brings such a bright light of understanding to those seeking Jesus, His calling, and their purpose in their lives.
With many years of experience and Biblical wisdom, his book offers practical application for Christians. It offers a sense of direction and also speaks to those that need to turn to God in repentance. The author has written a book that will bring clarity to areas of life we all need as humans. These are identified by psychologists as: “Purpose, Security, Significance, Love, Fulfillment & Stability.” It is the author’s deepest desire in this book for you to be encouraged, and become motivated by his book, his story perhaps, and Biblical teaching to “align” your life to God’s will. We all have our own will, but there is a unique purpose that God has called you to.
This book comes highly recommended as an individual, small group, or church gathering Bible Study. Also, recommended for new believers desiring spiritual growth.
The fact is most people cannot fathom the love He has for you! And Yes, the plans He has for you! This is an exciting adventure into bringing spiritual growth to one’s soul and mind that prepares them for whom God wants them to be in the family of God, as a servant, as an Ambassador to Christ and so much more!
