Book Review

Blind Spots: What You Don’t See Can Hurt You is a book to help you understand what blind spots are and how they affect your life and can even be detrimental when not understood. Overall, I really enjoyed the concept of this book. I think they hit the nail on the head by understanding that self-awareness is important in growth in every area of your life. I loved the amount of research that has been done to invest in this book and the audience it targets.

As I said, I really enjoy the concept of this book. However, the style in which it is written was hard for me to relate to. Due to there being so much statistical data such as quotes and other people’s testimonies told from afar, I felt disconnected and not emotionally involved to seek out those blind spots and make the change like this book’s mission had intended. It was very hard to stay connected which in the end made it hard to read and finish.

Overall, I give Blind Spots 2 stars. The low rating is due to the book not accomplishing the vision that they had intended for the book. Blind Spots was also very hard to read on an emotionally intellectual basis which is needed for such an important topic.

A big thank you to New Growth Press and Audra who took the time to allow me to read and review this book.

Through The Eyes Of Love-Shawn Bolz (Book Review)

Book Information

  • Title: Through The Eyes of Love Encouraging Others Through Prophetic Revelation
  • Author: Shawn Bolz
  • Publisher: Emanate Books Thomas Nelson
  • ISBN: 9780785227298
  • Price: $17.99

Review

I was so excited to read Shawn Bolz’s “Through The Eyes of Love” However, I was highly disappointed and honestly quite disgruntled as I read this book. I have never given a book review on Let Love Be My Motive (my blog) lower than 3 stars, but I had a hard time even rating this book due to it being unbiblical. I am wondering if people will even catch where it is false which is quite concerning. While I believe that grace abounds where sin abounds. Prophetic words are not something that should be spoken lightly. You are being God’s mouthpiece. I believe that everyone has the ability to prophesy IF you have the Holy Spirit. As a true prophet of God, there should be no false words spoken. This is due to you being lead by the spirit rather than your flesh. He made it seems like eh, there is grace, do not worry about it too much. If you give a false word, you give a false word. As I said, I do believe there is grace for much but it is so important for Holy Spirit to be leading you rather than what you think you know or “context clues”. I put this book down at 34% (3rd chapter) after he talked about him not giving word’s about relationships very often. Why at this point? Because he talks about a girl who used to be into prostitution and had “daddy issues”, therefore there would be NO way he would ever be with someone like that unless she was working on her healing.

HOLY MOLY MOSTACHOLI!!!

I’m not sure who Shawn Bolz is or how is other books are, but please stay far away from this one. It doesn’t represent the prophetic or the Love of Jesus. There is a lot of deception concealed by bits of truth.

Do I recommend this book? Nope, sorry. I give it a 1 star out of 5, If I could give it a 0 I would. I hope to not seem harsh but I cannot co-sign this on Let Love Be My Motive.
Seek Holy Spirit for help with the prophetic and love. I will be looking out for new books on Loving Like Jesus and the Prophetic to share with you other than the bible (even though this is your best bet!). So sorry to disappoint!

The Bible Promise Book for the Anxious Heat -Janice Thompson ~Book Review

The Bible Promise Book for the Anxious Heart By Janice Thompson

The Bible Promise Book for the Anxious Heart is an excellent tool to remember the promises of God and apply them to your daily life. Thompson begins each topic with a heart felt prayer to help you understand you are not alone in situations and feelings you may be facing. I recommend this book to anyone who may be facing anxiety, trials, or anyone who needs a reminder of God’s sovereignty. In the introduction Janice speaks on not letting this book replace your quiet time with God. I applaud her for the transparency, wisdom, and boldness to speak on this. The only con I have is that I wish I had it in paperback rather than an e-book. I give this book a 5 out of 5. The Bible Promise Book for the Anxious Heart By Janice Thompson is a book that is applicable for everyday life, truly timekess, leaving your heart no longer anxious but with God’s peace after you declare the promises given to you!

Thank you Baurbor Publishing and Janice Thompson for allowing !e to review this spectacular tool for every day Christian life. Another big thank you to Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book which has brought me peace and victory through the word of God!
