From page one, it is a book that will encourage you to think about things you may not have before. So often we take our faith for granted and really aren’t sure why we believe or do certain things. I’ll have to admit, in the section where it was asking me what I believe and why, I was a little unnerved because I wasn’t sure why. I grew up in the “church” so a lot of the beliefs I have were taken for granted. I just believed it, but I didn’t know why.

I found this book to be a blessing because it caused me to think a little more about my faith and why I do or don’t do some things. It also helped me delve into my past and bring to the surface some decisions or choices I was holding on to that I needn’t. (is that really a word?)

I highly recommend me myself & I AM by Matthew Peters and Elisha Stanford for it’s therapeutic qualities; it has to be healthy to take time every now and then to look, contemplatively, at why we are who we are. The Bible is clear that forgiveness is good for the soul, well maybe, so is a little introspective look inside the soul.

me myself & I AM is not a hard book to read but it does take some commitment. It will take time, if you really put thought into it, to go through the book and answer honestly all of the questions. It isn’t a long book, but it is a book that has the potential to be very powerful –if you let it.

Think about it, when was the last time you asked yourself what you would say to an atheist if asked to explain why you believe in God and how you know He is real? How would you explain to a friend the moment in your life when you changed from knowing about God to knowing Him personally and choosing to follow Him? Continue reading »

I’ll have to admit that this election season is the most frustrating one I’ve been apart of since I’ve been able to vote. I’ve voted in every major election, not all of the local ones (but some), since I turned 18 in 1990. The first election I remember paying attention to was the 1980 Presidential … Continue reading »

I’ll have to admit I was a little hesitant to read this book because it didn’t seem to fit my normal M.O. when it came to book reading. However, I caught myself staying up way too late one night eagerly finishing this book.

I am huge Ted Dekker, Frank Peretti and Mark Andrew Olsen fans; meaning, I like action and guy stuff. But this book intrigued me because it was dealing with the Salem witch trials. I’ve been to the Salem Witch Museum, so this book got my attention.

But come on, it has to be a chick book, right?

So I’ll just say it. I loved it. Call me whatever you want, but this book was great. From the beginning, it kept my attention and I can’t think of a spot where it seemed slow. The book was very well written and flowed all the way through nicely Continue reading »
