Venatius Agbasiere takes a truthful look at suffering, relates them to readers in a Biblical sense, giving hope and encouragement for the journey of life. An outstanding read! ~ CBM Book Reviews
.
The plight of mankind, many ask why? Why is there so much suffering in the world?  In his book,  Suffering: Finding True Peace, Joy and Happiness in the Midst of Life’s Challenges, Problems and Difficulties, Venatius Agbasiere looks at suffering, the how and the why God uses seasons to build character, teach and make us pliable as clay is molded into a beautiful vessel. This going from desert to desert to bring His chosen ones into the Promised Land is a actually a type of training ground that the author calls a “breaking.” He states that, “Breaking is painful, breaking is frustrating, breaking is uncomfortable, but blessing comes afterwards, so please, do not give up during the time of breaking.” Further stating, “There is a blessing in breaking. We are broken by God in order to be blessed.”
.
The above statement gives insight into the focus of the book, as additional Biblical input builds the foundation as he preaches from the Scriptures. His book is meant to encourage the Body of Christ and to give understanding during the difficult seasons of life in order to make way for God to work and bring His blessings into one’s life. Offering his own experiences going from a third world country to the United States, his book states that all suffer, just in different ways. He reminds those that are doing well to not look upon those who are suffering, but presents a compassionate look at people’s sufferings.
.
Instrumentally, he teaches that God cared for the Israelites through all they went through. Similarly, we are to remember this that God does not change and He will not abandon us. He will provide us of all our needs and seasons do come to an end. God turns all into good for His Kingdom. (Romans 8:28)
.
Highly recommended as a must-read for every Christian, whether a new or mature believer.

Title: James: How Then Should We Live
A Bible Study Series From the Book of James
By: Matthew A. Knight
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars
.
James: How Then Should We Live? A Bible Study Series From the Book of James by Matthew A. Knight offers a short Bible study sharing wisdom and insight that offer readers Biblical principles the Church and individuals are to live by. 
.
James, nor the author, compromises and the author has written this series to point Christians to what Scripture says and speaks of in conducting church and thus, walking out our Christianity by our deeds. These principles are key to living a “true” Christian walk and inviting the Holy Spirit into congregations and one’s life. Whether new or mature believer, this book will ignite faith and wisdom that bring hope in the new way of living in Christ.
.
With such chapters as: Favoritism, Taming the Tongue, Covetousness: the Cause and Cure, and A Warning to Rich Oppressors, introducing readers by the famous quote, “Faith without Works is dead.” So one might ask, What does that mean? How do I show faith and do good works? Are they both the same thing? Giving Biblical wisdom, the book of James, and the author’s additional explanations go along way to helping one understand that God’s ways are higher than ours.
.
This is a highly recommended read for all Christians, reminding them to go back to the basics and remember why you are different as a Christian, as an ambassador of God, and how the spiritual and the practical come together. This means you not only profess to be a Christian, but follow Christ’s commands in your relations to others around you. Mercy triumphs over judgment and all are called to this holy road.
.
Get a copy for yourself or a small Bible study. This simple series will impact your life in a powerful way!  Order your copy of The Book Of James: How Then Shall We Live at Amazon.

Justification by Faith Alone in Christ Alone by Christian author Grace Dola Balogun is an uplifting book that encourages the Body of Christ to persevere through various hardships and trials because the hope of Christ does not disappoint, nor does His salvation by grace alone fail. 
.
The one requirement to salvation is faith in Jesus Christ as the author and finisher of our faith.  Grace Dola Balogun encourages readers to come up higher and gain a new perspective that is biblically based on subjects such as faith, grace, salvation, redemption, sanctification and justification.  All are revealed from a biblical foundation, displaying the truth of the Gospel.  Christ won for us on the Cross justification by faith alone.  The author thereby reveals the wonderful work of God that comes from justification that produces the fruits of the spirit in the believer.
.
By discussing such topics as: interpretation of faith, God’s work of justification, grace, redemption, Abraham’s faith, Christ’s obedience to the Father, the peace of God, holy faith that produces works, no faith equaling no good works, the results of good works, the fruit of faith, post reformer teachings on faith, examples of faith, living by faith – not by sight, faith, Christ, sanctification and glorification, Christ as our hope of glory and the gift of grace - the author has given a comprehensive study on the matter of justification by faith in Christ alone.
.
Once one comes to Christ, they are a new creation in Christ.   This new creation experiences a remission of sins and a righteousness that is imputed from our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ to the new believer.  We must understand the justification that has taken place that enables the Christian to enter into eternity.  All have come short of the glory of God and all go their own way; we can praise the Lord for this justification that comes by faith alone in Christ alone.  Hallelujah! Amen.

Her book is organized in three sections pertaining to each season: single, married, or divorced.

Developed through the teaching of the nine fruits of the Spirit, the author writes from a place of personal experience that brings inspiration and the blending of Christian principles and scripture verses that enhance one’s season in life. Each particular season is covered in three distinct sections to glean from, making for an easy read. The organization of the book presents a palatable format that asks your current season, (single, married, or divorced), presents life-lessons learned from these seasons, and presents to readers scripture affirmations for this particular season in their lives.
.
In the end, the author brings readers to a glorious conclusion, offering a steadfast hope in following the Lord in all His ways. Additionally, a type of a glossary is given presenting one scripture verse that best defines such terms as: love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, grace, forgiveness, obedience, blessing, encouragement, unity, Holy Spirit, praise, thankful, trust, waling in the Spirit, and offers a salvation prayer as well.

If Only by La Verne Hughes is a fascinating fictional journey into a rich Kingdom, the testing of a true love that has its roots in the Scripture verse 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV), “Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
.
This plight is set in a kingdom off the coast of Africa. A family has all the wealth, status and provision they could ever need, until the unthinkable happened. . .the takeover of their country from another king succeeded.

Breaking the Barriers: 31 Keys to Experience Inner Peace by John Clark Mayden, Jr. is a interactive devotional Christian book, and the first volume of a series of 3 books written by the Reverend that help readers get past, let go and rise above ALL into the peace of God. 
.
Offering thirty-one keys through an intuitive book and penned with a pastor’s heart for hurting people, Mayden, Jr. presents a Biblical and foundational read that sheds light on the common issues to bring identity to the issues, while offering keen insight and valuable solutions. With keen insight into human nature, and the nature of man, the author brings a better understanding to the barriers that keep people stuck, thus revealing the truth of God and Scripture that will yield a great harvest of peace.
.
With hopes of transforming readers into the person God wants them be and written with a firm grasp of the natural and supernatural, many will find this book insightful, yet full of practical Biblical advice.
.
This is a powerful book based on the premise of Satan’s ploy on humanity to “steal, kill and destroy” (John 10:10); the author reveals that Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. With three distinctive sections on how to overcome the 3D’s: Overcoming Despair, Dealing with Disappointment, and Managing Depression this book provides the way out, the way to wait, and the way to breakthrough.
.
Each key provides inspirational and practical advice that has helped the author. Presenting a Biblical solution provides the reader with knowledge and a “how to” as a guidebook to getting through difficult emotions and circumstances.  Pivotal heart and mind attitudes reflect a godly renewing of the mind in each section, and offers readers a chance to integrate the lessons by short active action steps and application at the end of each key to overcoming.
.
This book is a way to climb up the mountain of God to “see” God and His heart. Full of Scripture and sound doctrine, the author gives readers a roadmap through the 3D’s and helps those needing guidance and hope to experience the peace of Christ. Not as the world gives, but as Christ bequeathed to His followers, even in trials. (That is an amazing statement – even peace in the storm or through the troubles).
.
Breaking the Barriers: Unlocking the Keys to Inner Peace comes highly recommended for all those seeking closer intimacy with God to develop His peace in one’s life. This is the victory of Jesus!

Mat with only one t by Jeff Thomas is a beautifully told and illustrated story of Mat and his grandpa. Endearing, Mat talks about his grandpa from the time grandpa spent with him when he was born, to summers fishing with grandpa, continuing with all the loving lessons that his favorite grandpa taught him! With a rhyming saying, “Give a smile and give from your heart, and your gift will keep giving even when you’re apart,” and a memorable ending, the book displays many heartfelt sentiments. In the end, grandpa passed on which makes this book a special read for those little ones dealing with the loss of a grandparent. His giving of a “t” in his name symbolizes salvation and is an opportunity for parents to tap into the salvation message. (Little ones can see the shadow of a t on the grandpa’s back that makes for a lasting mental impression).
.
This book opens the door for honest talks about the cycle of life and how much we love our loved ones. This children’s book also is one that children and parents alike are not likely to forget. Although, a sad ending, the story speaks of reality to some and may help children to cope and understand with the difficulties of a losing a loved one. Parents might explain that Heaven is a place where we can see our relatives after we all have gone to Heaven.
.
This book comes also highly recommended for a child that may have lost a beloved grandparent, and to Christian parents that would like to talk about salvation to their children.
.
The author has done an excellent job in taking a delicate matter and leaving the reader with a touching story that will always be remembered. Mat giving his “t” should remind us all just how much Jesus loved us for giving us His salvation.

David R. Stokes invites readers on a delightful road of forgiveness to thriving in every way. Connecting the dots, the author leads readers through the art of storytelling, as Jesus did, to the discovery of grace (through Christ) and relates what that means for us.
.
He offers help through the application of forgiveness, mercy, love, patience, the Bible and God’s ways that challenges readers to make an inner-self survey. Dealing with such subjects as: anger, bitterness and unforgiveness, he shows readers the only way to having true and lasting inner peace – through reliance on God and complete forgiveness. Knowing that we all get hurt, even when trying to do “good” things – and even by those who are within the church walls, he begins with the story of the Good Samaritan as a backdrop to the question: What do you do when you receive hurt and/or pain either physically, emotionally, or spiritually from other believers (and others in the world)? Offering true scriptural and Biblical answers, this book offers hope for the journey into forgiveness, the grace of God and a renewing of the mind that leads to maturity in Christ.
.
Using such Biblical examples as “Saul of Tarsus” who was later converted to the Apostle Paul and also Joseph’s story, the author also relates a number of compelling true-life stories that add intrigue and captivate one’s intellect and heart. Teaching and instructing along the way, the author advocates Scripture memorization as way to build the inner man and faith – as one learns to “take every thought captive”- and tend to your thoughts as you would a garden – plucking out the weeds. 
.
Truthfully, there is not a person on this Earth who can say, “I’ve had a pain free life.” With that in mind, inevitably this book will touch you in some profound way. I have to say this is the only  book, (that I read in only two sessions and wanted to read straight through). I could literally not put the book down! 
.
This book is a highly  recommended read for the Church, the Body of Christ, for pastors to hand out or for anyone looking to move forward and get better – not bitter.

A Highly recommended read - World War S: The Silence Begins (Book 1) and The Servants of the Dragon (Book 2) by Stephen Paul Thomas combine elements of a science fiction thriller novel with a religious twist that is an intense page turner ~ CBM Christian Book Reviews.

.

Set sometime in the near future, the world has become a place of darkness. On the edge of economic and social collapse, key elements of society have changed: no Christianity allowed and the pursuit of seeking the divine through other means is elevated to a worldwide phenomenon. 

.

Seeking diviners and fortunetellers offer an escape for those upon the Earth, an escape tailored to meet their fleshly desires, leading them away from truth and into deception.

.

Two key characters, Josh and Julie, are the mainstay characters, along with other side events simultaneously occurring. Josh is a lighthearted boy with an amazing prophetic and revelatory ability. Julie is an ER doctor and physiologist whose focus has become more of an experiment to understand the nature of her clients’ Near Death Experiences (NDE). Her inquires are rooted in explaining the connection of the mind, soul and afterworld upon the cessation of life.

.

Heart pounding, riveting, and full of suspense, this novel is fast-paced and although a fiction novel, the scenarios depicted seem to be a plausible future considering world events, i.e., persecution of the Saints and a false religion that explodes. What would the world look like without the truth of God’s Word? Being a Christian is outlawed and it seems the world is on the edge of collapse. The author paints a vivid picture that blends elements of science fiction, demonic entanglement and the spiritual world that shed light into World War S.

.

Intriguing, this spiritual world war sounds vaguely familiar - What if the world was really like this?  And we are already living in this time or on the brink of total economic and social collapse, which brings such deception, demonic oppression and anarchy? All questions you can explore within this “brutally good,” “The reality of the demonic,” “Prophetic,” and “Genious” book.

.

A highly recommended author and series to follow! Quite unique.
