Book Review: "Lady Jane Grey: Nine Day Queen of England" by Faith Cook

This excellent book is a must read for anyone interested in the monarchy of England, the Puritan reformation, and how the Lord strengthened the faith of one young girl to withstand pressures most adults would find challenging. Lady Jane's story is a testimony that God’s ways are not our ways, that He uses pain and trial to sweeten our faith, and that all who are His will persevere until the end.

Book Review: "Rescuing Ambition" by Dave Harvey

Don’t be put off by the title if that word “ambition” scares you. Rescuing Ambition is a book about following Christ. It’s about entrusting the Lord with all your hopes, dreams, and aspirations. The “rescue” comes when we wait upon the Lord to bring those goals and hopes about rather than ramrodding them through ourselves. If you like praying about what you’re reading, being prodded to examine your heart, and encouraged to press on in your walk then you’ll enjoy this book. And then there’s the “I-can’t-see-the-page-because-I’m-laughing-so-hard” bonus of Dave Harvey himself whose stories usually pack a convicting wallop at the end. Rescuing Ambition is a pleasure to read that leads us to live lives pleasing to the Lord.

Some authors I wasn’t familiar with and some chapters were more pertinent to me, yet every chapter had some meat for me to sink my teeth into and gain some soul-nourishment.
