"The Power of The Whisper" by Bill Hybels

I love this book and I know you will too, Have you ever wondered if God is speaking to you and helping to direct your life?

"In Pursuit of Peace." Joyce Meyers This powerful book teaches you how to abide in the gift of peace that Jesus has promised us when we follow and believe in Him. Meyers shows you how to insulate yourself, even in the midst of chaos, in His love, mercy, grace and Peace so that you can navigate through the mess and remain in His countenance.

"The Harbinger" By Jonathan Cahn

I could not put this book down! Jonathan describes in a perfect narrative the parallels between ancient Israel and our 9-11 attack on NYC. It is predicted in Isaiah, but the "harbingers" are not over, there is more to come if we do not come closer to God. Jonathan says it much better than I do, Don't wait for the movie, read the book now.
