About the Book:
"Be still and know that I am God.” is one of the most beautiful verses from the Bible, but it’s not easy to practice in this busy world. Mornings with Jesus will help you do just that—“be still” in Jesus’ beautiful and powerful presence. For those who are seeking a deeper experience in their relationship with Christ, Mornings with Jesus offers a fresh perspective of who Jesus is (the Healer, the Son of God, the Comforter, the Good Shepherd) and what that means for day-to-day life. With a warm and friendly voice, 365 short devotional writings on the character and teachings of Jesus encourage readers to greet each day by drawing near to Him and inviting His presence into their day. Spend time with Jesus at the beginning of each day and experience His nearness and peace in a new way throughout the year. Each day’s selection includes: • a Bible verse • an entry based on Jesus: His words, miracles, and parables; His wisdom, compassion, and comfort; His mystery, power, divinity, and humanity • a “faith step” that will inspire and challenge readers to apply the day’s message to their lives.
My Review:
This is a nice yearly devotional that can help you find encouragement as you start your day. Each contributor shares from their own perspective of where they are in relationship with Christ. Some you will related to better than others but be open to learn something from each of them. At the end of each days reading is what they call a Faith Step. For example on July 3, contributor Judy Baer writes, "Today take your friend Jesus with you wherever you go. think of Him as physically at your side in the coffee shop, at the library, at a meeting or anywhere you go." Another nice thing about this devotional is it includes a topical index at the back of the book. I would recommend this book for when you are in a rush and need that quick encouragement during your day!

THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE
TO
HEALING
Equipping All Christians to Pray for the Sick
BILL JOHNSON
RANDY CLARK
PUBLISHED BY CHOSEN
A Division of Baker Publishing Group
Book Description
The Bible is full of accounts of miraculous healing. And God is moving as amazingly today as he was back then. Thousands are being healed all over the world--and his children are part of it.
For the first time, premier renewal leaders Bill Johnson and Randy Clark team up to equip Christians to minister healing. Grounded from start to finish in Scripture, Johnson and Clark lay out the rich theological and historical foundation for healing in the church today. Full of inspiring stories, this book offers practical, proven, step-by-step guidance to ministering healing, including how to
• understand the authority of the believer in healing
• create an atmosphere of faith
• receive words of knowledge
• implement the five-step model of healing prayer
The ministry of healing is not reserved for a select few. God's miraculous healing is part of the Good News--and every believer can become a conduit for his healing power.
My Review:
This is a great resource book to keep on hand. It encourages us to seek more of God. Its teaching is sound and biblical on the subject of healing.This is a great book for not only those in ministry but for every christian who wishes to fulfill God's command to all believers in Mark 16: 15-18 (NIV)
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

There are three parts to this book. The first part is the authors sharing their personal journey in regards to healing.
The second part deals with what the bible says about healing and the theological foundation of these biblical truths of healing.
The third part of the book deals with the actual practice of healing. It deals with the different ways God works through us to pray for the healing of others.
This book provides good practical advise that comes from sound scriptures.
I would recommend this book to every christian.
I received this book free from Bethany House for this review.
What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, Jesus said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily. But who do you know who lives like that? Do you?
My Review:
This is a book we all need. It ask the important questions that as Christian we need to contemplate. American Christian have taken for granted our religious rights. We have Americanized our view of Christianity. This book should make us Christian question what is real in our relationship with Christ and what is just for show.
This is a short book, about an hour long. The narration makes it easy to listen to, making the hour pass quickly. I would recommend listening to the book more than once. I would recommend this book for all Christians.
