A Life Changing Read - Highly Recommended
Dr. Andy Laurie had a great life. He was living the American dream, happily married, four kids and two great careers. One as a board certified emergency room radiologist, and the other, as one of the pastors at The Bridge Christian Church.
In When Skies Aren’t Blue, Dr. Andy Laurie shares his personal journey as a sudden and unexplainable illness brought dark clouds into his blue skies of life at the early age of thirty-nine.
Following, he offers Ten Powerful Steps as prescriptions that present real hope amid those dark skies that tend to drift in without warning. With clear and an easy-to-understand Biblical teaching, coupled with prayers at the end of each step, he encourages readers to remain steadfast in hope, persevere, and hold onto their faith in a God - Who is near and real in times of trouble.
Further shedding light on evil and sickness in our world, the author speaks candidly to all that are battling with failing health. His book offers fundamentals that teach and reveal not only the characteristics of God and our Heavenly Father as a good Father, yet he also highlights Satan and the role he plays upon this fallen world.
His book presents simple truths of the Bible by helping readers understand that God is not causing sickness and thus, helps readers gain a healthy perspective. Satan is the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet, there is hope to be found! Jesus Christ is our anchor of hope in this life and eternally.
Dr. Laurie presents 10 powerful steps to victory. Each step is designed to point the reader to a God that is real and present, offering comfort, inspiration and scriptural insight bringing the absolute love and magnificence of God Almighty into the forefront. Dr. Andy Laurie states with unequivocal belief from the facts that God is real, He’s listening to you, and He cares for you. These 10 steps are powerful for life because they speak truth and give real help and hope for those in desperate need.
This book comes highly recommended for those who are currently suffering with failing health (or other life storms), and are in need of hope and encouragement that is real and tangible. This is an amazing book borne out of the author’s own suffering that will surely bless others immensely! A CBM Christian Book Review ~ 10.0 out of 10.0 stars

A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars
Tronell Walker, in her latest release, Killing Greatness: A Story About a Bully, speaks to bring encouragement to readers with an underlying theme of encouragement and Biblical principles to help face life’s bullies. She also speaks on current issues facing America, offering hope to many. She speaks frankly and candidly, yet with an overtone of love, tact, wisdom, and gentleness. Her own life reflects one who has chosen to remain steadfast, trusting in God through the storms of life.

The goal for this book is to enlighten, encourage, and inspire readers into a firm resolve despite circumstances. She covers such subjects as: racism, the current political climate, advocates for the LGBT community, as well as the disabled. With a blend of historical and well-researched facts, along with Scripture, the reader is free to disagree or agree, regardless.
Tronell Walker’s desire and purpose in this read is to shed light onto these subjects, bringing the social change necessary according to Christian principles of love and mercy. Her hopes are that others will learn how to love and accept each other, individually and corporately, regardless of race, social status, or capabilities; in this way, honoring the Two Greatest Commandments, which is to love God first and to love your neighbors as yourself.
This is a wonderful and highly encouraging read that presents a perspective of wisdom and common sense, offering some solutions that can be used to face a bully (a.k.a. today’s societal dilemmas). You may get your copy of Killing Greatness at Amazon.
Air, Sea and Land - A Journey
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars
Get ready to fly, sail, camp and discover! This is a fast-paced Christian-themed scientific journey of exploration filled with technical discovery and building, as a beloved father and son grow in their Christian faith and make a surprising discovery underneath the Earth. ~ CBM Christian Book Reviews
David and son, Aaron, work together in this exciting exploration of earth and sea as a father and son duo filled with comradery, showcasing faith and trust in Jesus. Their adventures take them across the globe, and both admit that they love exploration, especially David.
Exciting, the two find different landscapes traversing across sea and land in their exploits. Questions have arisen from a mysterious island sinking near Heard Island. Lessons range from oceanography, Earth Science to sailing emerge, as they discover circular chasms on the sea floor under the deep waters surrounding the island. Aaron’s search has begun. Why did that island just disappear and sink, and why so violently? Aaron had barely escaped.
Yet, despite their commonalities as father and son, their Christian faith keeps them going. Witty and filled with vivid writing and an understanding of how the world works, the author slides in tidbits of life lessons from the Bible. The freedom between these two is refreshing and will leave one yearning for travel and adventure. Building and designing ideas seem to flow between them, passed down from the previous generation. With a taste for adventure, readers will enjoy scenery changes from sea planes to a luxurious jet. Their journeys take them farther than they could have imagined.
From the southern ocean, over the Atlantic to Africa, notably Zanzibar, with a pitstop in Madagascar before an Antarctic expedition. Then both are off again – this time to the jungles of South America. The two travelers begin to answer questions as to the reason why that island sank; this leads them to Canada. The untouched Artic tundra to be exact.
The Gospel message and salvation is intertwined within the book. Meanwhile their Christian faith brings hope. David teaches his son lessons, deep lessons about love, God’s creation and why God had to allow evil. These are much appreciated answers without complicated theology. The way David answers just makes sense.
This is a wholesome adventure recommended for young boys and girls above the age of twelve and comes highly recommended as a scientific, Earth-Science and Christian-based novel that gives the desire to explore different places throughout the world. One might even have a map handy, as these two travel quite extensively.
A wonderfully written novel that never left me with a dull moment. I felt as if I had travelled right there with father and son. A well-done book fit for family entertainment! You may get your copy of Passage Finder at Amazon or in Kindle as a download.
The Road to Grace
Rich Catholic, Poor Catholic; The Road to Grace is a book that encourages Catholics to take a new and closer look at God, asking the reader to consider making up his or her own mind about God. Is He real, or not, and equally important do you have an active one-on-one personal relationship with Him? Are you looking for His help and advice on a daily, or even moment-by-moment basis? Do you think of Him as you do a close, personal friend? Or is He more like a distant acquaintance that you may see, or meet infrequently?
These are the kinds of questions that can directly impact the health of a person's spiritual life. Rich Catholic, Poor Catholic asks the reader to consider these and other similar questions from a personal point of view, rather than as a member of a large congregation, engaging the reader as it draws them personally into the conversation. It also explains the benefits of such a close relationship and how it will not only prepare us for eternal life, but also help us to cope with our daily challenges and struggles.
The book goes on to address the related question of what it takes for a Catholic to gain eternal life. Will experiences such as being raised in the Catholic faith as a child, being confirmed, going to Mass most Sundays and holy days, supporting the church financially simply be enough to gain us entrance into heaven? Or is there something else that is required?
The author uses the example of his own personal life journey, as he moved away from God and then back again, to build a story about the reality of God and how He works in each of our lives. Readers will learn to see major issues such as sin, the process of salvation, forgiveness, prayer, the love of God and neighbor, to include the existence of heaven and hell in a new descriptive light. These and other issues are discussed in the book in a very practical way as they relate directly to the Bible and our daily life experiences.

Author releases Her Mother's Manuscripts
This finished work fulfills her promise before her mother's death
to see this book, Never Forsaken, published.
Never Forsaken is a labor of love told by Cindy Scott, the daughter of Marion Ghent Jose Lau. Her mother’s memoir reaches back in time to the early 1900’s, through WWII, to present day. Cindy Scott spent two years gathering the several manuscripts her mother penned over fifteen years and combined them with taped interviews to fill in the gaps.
Never Forsaken is a true-life testimony of survival and restoration after WWII, including the big move to America for a better life. I was hooked from the first chapter. Marion’s rendition of life back then, her father’s radical transformation, becoming born again after being a drinker and gambler, reeled me right in. With a tinge of humor in the section of Papa’s new life, this is a touching sentiment of how the Word of God broke through such a calloused heart.
Readers will find Marion Ghent’s harrowing journey as a young girl in the Philippines an amazing adventure. Being the youngest of eleven living siblings and the daughter of a colporteur for the American Bible Society, surely this story is an inspiring read that relates God’s absolute faithfulness and how He works in the humblest of ways. The book also relays the efforts of the foot soldiers of the Gospel, and reveals the treasure of how the Gospel goes forth.
The Ghent’s surviving the shock of war and the tragedies that followed, shed light on loss, but a strong, persevering faith that comes to fruition in finding a new life in America. Certainly, this may be a movie in the making. Exciting, touching, and a powerful story, amazing endurance unfolds during some of life’s pivotal moments, relating Marion’s tale of never being forsaken by God.
Leading to a triumphant restoration with long lost family members after the scattering of the War years, the author takes readers from beginning to an end of an era long gone. One will be left in awe and find inspiration to all that Marion Ghent and her relatives had to go through during those humble years in the Philippines, escaping and hiding in the jungle for three years. In this miraculous book, history literally unfolds as the awful horrors of war in a foreign country.
Cindy Scott has culminated history and the telling of Marion's story, and her life experience that also includes photos, maps, text and indexes explaining these far off and quite exotic places in the Philippines. What an amazing read!
One will find that faith, courage, and overcoming do not come without struggles. Yet, God is ever faithful!
This book comes highly recommended for those that enjoy true-life war stories, happy endings, with God in the mix! I sincerely hope this book becomes a movie. For me, as one who reads many books, this one was truly memorable and unforgettable.

Repentance and Forgiveness
As the author explains, Job’s wife was an unnamed woman in the Bible with a surprisingly short excerpt regarding her state of mind. The author poignantly looks at Scripture and asks herself how she might have felt, while admitting that each one of us may have felt similar feelings towards God. With that, she blends the details of Job’s story with insight from women’s personal testimonies of loss and tragedy.
What comes forth is a beautiful tapestry of God’s work throughout trauma and includes underlying steps that we are led to walk through. These are incredible steps that lead to the discovery of not only ourselves, but reveal God in the midst of great trials. The author has designed an important book for this time that relates the faith that can grow through grievous times of loss. There is hope ladies! One can learn to thrive and overcome.
Setting the stage during each tragedy Job faces, eventually Job’s wife tells her husband to curse God and die. Haven’t we all felt like that? Still, that leaves us wondering, did her faith stand? How does her choice to curse God and the complete disdain for her husband parallel with feelings one might have after destruction has occurred?
Truly, this is an incredibly insightful read as author Linda Jo Reed takes readers into a delicate telling of those who “chose” to overcome, revealing God at work. At the end of each chapter are meditation and journal questions, ending in a heartfelt prayer that can help lead one back to a path of hope again, making this an interactive book.
With such chapters as: Loss and Disorientation, Stress and Abandonment, Repentance and Forgiveness, Acceptance and Compassion, Silence and Listening, and Believe and Trust, her book helps identify what to do with these feelings, and how to get back to belief and trust. There is comfort knowing that we are not alone in our sufferings.
Developed for individual or in group setting, this would make a great Women’s Bible study. This book comes highly recommended for those that have faced such grief, loss, and overwhelming despair and is a must-read for those believers (or unbelievers) that question God, find themselves angry at God and doubt His goodness. Additionally, this is also a timely and Spirit-led work for many in the Body of Christ that have suffered long and are looking for answers, solutions, and restoration.

I'm All In
A CBM Christian Book Review - 10.0 out of 10.0 stars. Matthew F. Terry reveals a faith journey into the unknown.
His decision to follow God’s will, and not his own, brings travelling to China to be an English Teacher. His story is one of great courage and faith as He finds God and follows God in his weakness. Beginning with an unveiling of the misery in trying to stay in a lifeless job that he could not stand anymore – corporate America, based in Chicago, as he describes it was a job he could not stand. In the midst of despair of endless resumes and job searches after being laid off in 2011, his journey begins as he chronicles the prayers and the answered prayers.
The author displays that trusting God was not easy, and some answers came in amazing ways, certainly not the way the author thought that God would answer. Some of the answers were incredibly simple. As it turns out, God can be practical as well as full of wisdom. Born out of the author’s weakness comes a great testimony to the scripture verse in Corinthians 9:10: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Matthew Terry reveals his trusting God despite all the weakness in the form of job security, travelling to a foreign country, and a medical emergency with his beloved wife.
Beginning with short segways into his venture from moving from seeking trust in the world, losing jobs, job searches, to complete disgust in online searches – each section is short and sweet chronicling almost a year of finally coming to the boiling point. Some entries are rather candid and some humorous as he describes what its like to be looking and searching for a job in the midst of the bottom of the sea with all the other “out of work” colleagues. You can visibly see the downshift in the work-place and he describes the tension level on all 10 floors of his building. Again, direct and concise, these entries create a timeline of his desperation, his prayers and answers to God and how God answered.
Five sections describe his travels from his shift from self-reliance to finding life in weakness and fully trusting in God. Scripture verses speak of each section along with some pictures, as answers, prayers and encouragement for his path to be revealed as God speaks to His heart and leads him make for an invigorating read, sidelined with humorous side notes. In the end, you will find the author has been brought full circle and be inspired to follow God on your own journey into the brave unknown as you begin asking and following His will.
Humbling and insightful, this is a wonderfully touching and uplifting testimony of someone saying, “I’m all in; let’s go.” His thankfulness and enthusiasm ushers in a love for others and adventure. He reveals different aspects in China, some that tug at your heart like the children and the orphans. This book is breathtaking and refreshing!
Certainly, you will read this book with a smile inside seeing the goodness of God lead, protect and bless this man in his future endeavors. And certainly, God has the same for readers. This book is unique in the way it is written with short entries, the blending of a timeline, scriptures and faith, and leads others to discovering God’s will for their lives.

To Love Is To Also Protect and Inform
In reading the following book, we were amazed at it's contents and the educational value within. It is truly a remarkable book that touches on a very critical subject. Overcoming Abuse: Child Sexual Abuse Prevention and Protection--A Guide for Parents Caregivers and Helpers by Reina Davison offers a 3-part handbook to parents, caregivers, and helpers to aid in protection against child sexual abuse.
Coupled with the use of Biblical principles, stages of development in children, this book teaches, educates and gives parents the arsenal they need to educate themselves and their families in either prevention or healing from traumatic child sexual abuse (CSA).
(CSA) Giving the definitions of child sexual abuse and the staggering statistics in our nation, coupled with the abuse worldwide – the abuse of children is unprecedented. Our day and age is raging with this sin against the most innocent of beings – children. Abuse comes in many forms and can be quite insidious, thus the author’s efforts focus on sexual abuse. She also gives insight into the psychiatric dynamics of a sexual predator or offender. Her book is well-rounded and an overview on the subject of CSA that gives knowledge, help and guidance as a manual for prevention and protection against such crimes.
As a comprehensive handbook, one can glean the contents and find out not only how to use her guide, but understand how to limit internet media and device pornography, recognize strategies of perpetrators, giving tips of what to do and what not to do – parents, caregivers and helpers can help recognize, prevent and protect children against childhood sexual abuse. This guide is an invaluable resource, offering also an overview of the main reasons for abuse (the psychology of abusers) to help readers spot unsafe behaviors, giving them a guidebook in tracking and preventing child sexual abuse.
With a section on educating your child on this subject, this book takes all the pieces of a giant puzzle, and even sheds light on the judicial system in relation to this issue. With different stages of age, such as birth to toddler, toddler to five, six to twelve, and twelve to eighteen, the author has broken down the different stages of growth, exposing the different levels of opportunity that sexual predators may use against a child at these ages, along with age appropriate environments and care providers.

Enlightening Spiritual Truths To Children
CBM Christian Book Reviews thanks Author Reina Davison, for her work to protect the vulnerable children of the world! Thank you Reina for authoring this wonderful book.
Overcoming Abuse: My Body Belongs to God and Me – A Child’s Body Safety Guide by Reina Davison speaks to children, telling them they are “Overcomers.”
In Overcoming Abuse: My Body Belongs to God and Me the author begins the book by the definition of what an overcomer is. Opening children’s eyes to the truth of God’s purpose and plans for them, she goes on to describe God’s gift of free will.
Describing Good Touch and Bad Touch; she elaborates on these two and what that can encompass. There are Good Touch people and Bad Touch people. Her book gives hope to children who have or have not experienced abuse by speaking the truth of God’s love and care for their body. She also teaches children how to prevent abuse by giving them the tools to know the difference between a healthy relationship and unhealthy relationships.
Writing from a Biblical perspective, yet incredibly gentle and simple, Reina Davison gives hope and guidance that exposes the darkness and sin of the enemy lurking in our lives. These people are unsafe and “No Touch” people as Reina explains. Her premise teaches children the principle of becoming “Overcomers” in Christ Jesus. This is a fantastic book that teaches wonderful and enlightening spiritual truths to children. (Note: This book just may encourage adults as well; teaching them that they are overcomers!) I personally enjoyed the uplifting truths to her book and thought…I wish I had a book such as this when I was a child. You will be delighted by this book as well.
As a guidebook, this book teaches parents, caregivers, family members, etc., to understand what safe behavior is in and out of the home. Her Body Safety guide in the back provides a checklist for adults to adhere to in protecting children. With beautiful illustrations, the author sheds light on walking in the truth of God’s Word, while giving them instruction of their enemy (the devil), the Bible, and Jesus, offering hope and encouragement to look to Jesus as their help and Savior. Her book shows that God has a good plan for them and cares for them. She shares that they are Overcomers and can defeat the enemy (the devil) and that because of Jesus, they too can choose to be of Good Cheer (be happy).
This book comes highly recommended for all children who need to be taught encouraging truths about God’s Word, and especially is a tool to be used by parents, counselors, pastors, child psychologists, medical personnel, and lay persons to teach about healthy sexual boundaries.
To tell you the truth, this is one of those books parents should utilize in teaching their children about bad people that sin and touch inappropriately. She has given a list of resources in the back of the book, and is an advocate of ending child sexual abuse. Written with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity to children’s pure intellects, this book does a wonderful job in tackling a difficult subject.
