The Bakers Wife

The Bakers Wife by Erin Healy is a great story about one righteous man who thought it his job to punish the evil he saw all while twisting the words of God to justify his reasons for doing it. His wife didn't believe in God like he did, so he punished her. He talked down to his daughter all her life, instead of simply talking to her, and as a result, when she got pregnant at a young age, she had no one to turn to and so she had an abortion,claiming that the pastor of the church paid for it. Her dad had no choice but to punish the pastor by getting him fired from the church.As if that wasn' t enough, when his wife suddenly goes missing, he blames it on the pastor and his family, concocting his own story.Eventually it ends with him holding the entire pastors family and innocent bystanders by gunpoint in an attempt to get answers all while quoting bible scripture that he believes justify his behavior. The only thing more amazing than how this “man of God” can twist scripture is how calm Audrey and Geoff Bofinger are throughout the whole ordeal...There is no doubt that God was in deed with them! A great story, could not put it down!

Captured By Grace

Grace is something we all want and we all need but do we know how to get it? As Dr. David Jeremiah wonderfully explains in his book, Captured by Grace, grace is not something we deserve or even earn; you don’t have to be rich, famous, or popular. Grace is simply a gift from God, we don’t even have to be searching for it but it’s still there and all we have to do to get it is accept it. Even after reading this book, I am convinced that I will never totally understand the depth of God's grace, but the author did a wonderful job of giving me a start on learning what Grace is all about. This is not a book that you can just read once and understand it all, it takes many times of re-reading it to grasp all of it, for every time that I read it again, I find it deepens my understanding a little more of just what this gift called Grace really is. I would recommend this book for both new and seasoned Christians as well as a non-Christian who is curious about what grace is and how they can get it.
