Book Notes: May 3, 2023 - Nonfiction Religious Books

 Welcome, readers and writers! I'm happy you chose to spend some time on the scenic route today. If you'll read on, you'll find two reviews for books I thought were very well done. My husband and I read them together so that we could discuss the contents. Read on to see what else I shared about them. 

Book Review: How to Be Filled With the Holy Spirit by A.W. Tozer

How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit by A.W. Tozer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved It! Informative and Still Relevant

This book was informative and still relevant for the modern Christian. It was easy to read and understand. I look forward to going back through it later and studying a little more on the topic.
If you are looking for some solid teaching on the Holy Spirit, this is a good place to start.

Book Review: What Does It Mean That God is Sovereign? by R.C. Sproul

What Does It Mean That God Is Sovereign? by R.C. Sproul
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Clear and Thorough

This little booklet cleared up a few things for me, which I didn't necessarily expect. I actually enjoyed reading it, which I don't usually expect from an educational book. In both respects, that makes this booklet a winner. If you want to enjoy a richer, more full journey as a Christian, this book may help.

These two books were written clearly enough so that a slow thinker like me could understand what was said fairly easy. I still want to dig into these again, so that I can get a deeper understanding of the topics. 

Just Keep Writing: Wednesday Whimsy

If this is your first time participating in this kind of writing exercise, you're in for a treat. If you've done this with me before, just keep scrolling for the prompt.

Rules:

1. You can use any/all of the words and/or the photo in the prompt below to create a unique written work. Fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose, even lyrics are acceptable.  
2. Please keep the material you write clean (ie. nothing R-rated or worse) if you wish to share the link to your work here, as well as if you link back to my site. I strive to keep my site free of such things. My readers know and expect this. I respect your right to write whatever you feel you need to write. And you're free to use my prompts. But if your material is graphic, I'd rather not view it, and most of my readers will not wish to. 
3. Have fun! This type of exercise is perfect for growing in the writing craft, or for helping through a rough patch in your current WIP. If you're looking to push your author limits and you normally write in nonfiction prose, try a whimsical collection of lyrics. If you normally write poems about real life events, try your hand at a fanfic. Give yourself some room to explore.

Don't forget to leave a link to your creation (unless you're writing graphic material) so my readers and I can check out your work. I'd appreciate a link back to this post to help me reach more readers, but it's not required. 

Thanks for taking some of your valuable time to read my post today. I hope you found the writing prompt useful. What about the books? Do you think you might add these to your TBR list? Or if you've read them before, I'd love to hear what you thought in the comments. 

I'd like to invite you to come back tomorrow to get another three word prompt. It'll be there, ready for your creative pursuits. 

Until next time,
