My Thoughts and Book Review

Some key Scripture takeaways to memorize from this book :

All scripture is inspired by God: All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. (2 Timothy 3:15-16)

Scriptures come from the breath of God. Second, the Bible is authoritative. The writer of Hebrews penned these powerful words about Scripture: " The word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. (Hebrews 4:12)

Thom S Rainer has highlighted why the bible is necessary, (Romans 10:14-15) (Acts 8:31) (2 Timothy 3:14-15) (1 John 5:1-3)

The author has clearly highlighted God's attributes, Jesus is fully man and fully God, and the critical importance of the Trinity in an understandable manner so any level of Christian reader can grasp it quickly with supportive passages from the bible, Mathew 3: 16-17. This book convicts a Christian to repent and believe also turn to God and look to Jesus for salvation and forgiveness of man's sins at the cross.

The author also explains Angels, Demons, and Satan as enemies and how to resist the enemy by quoting from the bible, Ephesians 6:13.

If you are a born-again Christian this book is definitely for you to read and spread the Gospel to other unbelieving people around you.

Thanks to Netgalley and Tyndale Momentum for an advance copy of the book for my honest review.

Book Description

Who is God? Why am I here? How should I live? These are a few of the crucial questions about life that must be answered. What’s exciting is that God has provided those answers in Scripture. In I Believe, Thom Rainer outlines the essentials of the Christian faith in a clear and succinct way. You’ll learn about prayer, church, angels, heaven, the Trinity, and much more.

Read and discuss these Christian beliefs in a small group at your local church. It was within a church that Thom Rainer first experienced the power of these profound yet simple truths to utterly transform his life.

The urgent need of our day is for Christians to understand who they are, what they believe, and how that affects what they do. The best place to answer those life questions is in the context of the local church. It’s nothing short of miraculous what God will do through a group of devoted Christians who become committed and selfless church members.

Studying I Believe with a small group of Christians will give you a solid base of truth on which to anchor your life in Christ.

BOOK ON TOUR #AFTER PEARL #HISTORICAL CRIME FICTION #SANTA FE WRITERS PROJECT PUBLISHERS #BOOK REVIEW #STEPHEN G EOANNOU

MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW After Pearl is a captivating historical mystery set in 1942, during the turbulent months following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The novel follows Nicholas Bishop, an alcoholic private investigator and shell-shocked WWI veteran, who wakes up in a seedy hotel room with a hangover, a foggy memory, and two bullets missing from his revolver. Worse still, lounge singer Pearl DuGaye is dead, and Bishop is the prime suspect. As he stumbles through a haze of forgotten days, Bishop—assisted by the sharp and capable Gia Alessi, a loyal sidekick who may or may not still be on his payroll—dives into a web of deceit and danger. His investigation leads him through Buffalo’s underworld, rubbing shoulders with crooked politicians, high-society elites, and an underground group of American Nazis. All the while, he’s haunted by flashbacks from the Great War and shadowed by a one-eyed dog named Jake. The pacing is tight and energetic. The mystery unfolds gradually but never drag...
