Book Review: The In-Between by Jeff Goins

I love Jeff Goins writings. I have always felt that when I read his writings it’s like having a discussion or chat with a close friend of mine. He is an author who cares not only about what he wants to convey, but that he also cares about the readers.

I was so happy when I got the audio book of Jeff Goins latest book “The In-Between: Embracing the tension between now and the next big thing” for an honest review. I feel that the title of the book is very meaning and apt for the message it conveys. Our life is a journey and this book teaches us to enjoy every moment of this journey. Our live contains so much of waiting time. It starts from the daily routine activities such as waiting for the bus, waiting to get green light at the signal, waiting in queues, waiting to for a friend and the list goes on. There also some very important things such as waiting for a promotion, waiting to get married, waiting to become a parent and the list goes on. Jeff makes us to understand that this waiting time is a great part of our life and that we need to appreciate it instead of fretting and fuming.

Jeff says that though the destination is critical, the journey is very vital. In the process of reaching the destination, do not miss out the enjoyment of the journey. Jeff’s writing is awesome. There are many instances in this book where you find yourself nodding in agreement and smiling because you he is so good at making you understand the message.

This is a book that will be suitable for anyone. In this fast moving world, this book would definitely make us to really understand the meaning of this life. Life is not about achievements alone, it’s more about how we have live it. We live only once, live it to the best by enjoying it moment by moment.

This is a great audio book to listen and Jeff voice is pleasant. As the author himself reads this book, it adds so much value for the content. I highly recommend this book for anyone.

I thank Cross Focused Reviews for the audio copy of this book in exchange for my review.

Wonderstruck: Awaken to the Nearness of God

My friend, Margaret Feinberg, has a new book and 7-session DVD Bible study called Wonderstruck: Awaken to the Nearness of God, which releases Christmas Day. This is a personal invitation for you to toss back the covers, climb out of bed, and drink in the fullness of life. This book will turn your prayer life upside down, stir your desire to live more abundantly, and take your relationships with others to the next level.

Margaret recently posted a great warning on her site that those who have read Wonderstruck have experienced the following symptoms:

-An inability to stop smiling

-An uncontainable desire to pray

-A loss of interest in judging others

-A quiet, unshakable confidence in God

-A renewed ability to see the wonders of God all around

And from what I’ve seen, they’re all true! I wanted to share some thoughts that stuck out to me as I read a sneak peek of Wonderstruck:

I have an amazing feeling about God and the wonders that is around us if only we are sensitive to His voice. It is an awesome book which can transform your life completely. I recommend this book as a must read.

A must read inspiration book for all ages

This is a review of the book YOUR LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS (10-PK) by Nick vujicic.

This is a great book. I personally like Nick Vujicic for being an amazing inspiration for people all around the world. This book is all about hope and inspiration.

Few things that I liked the most in this book are
- Everything that is done in this earth is done by hope
- I loved the way he describes about the optimism that he was able to see in the faces of the children inspite of loosing their parents. Those children are a great inspiration for anyone who are hopeless and thinks he/she does not have a future. Life is a great journey
- Keep dreaming and start acting, always believe in the best. When we like the best, then we become the best

Nick has an amazing humor which really makes this book a great one. He has gone through the tough realities and he is now able to share his experience with a world which is in need of hope Nick also tells us to be careful about what goes into our mind, because the things that enter our mind determines our action.

Overall, its a great book and has been an inspiration for me.

I got a copy of this book to review from blogging for books.

DROWNED IN TEN INCHES OF WATER

A boy was sitting in a park bench with one hand resting on an open Bible. He was loudly exclaiming his praise to God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God is great! he yelled without worrying whether anyone heard him or not.

Shortly after, along came a man who had recently completed some studies at a local University. Feeling himself very enlightened in the ways of truth and very eager to show this enlightenment, he asked the boy about the source of his Joy.

Hey, asked the boy in return with a bright laugh, Don't you have any idea what God is able to do? I just read that God opened up the waves of the Red Sea and led the whole nation of Israel right through the middle.

The enlightened man laughed lightly, sat down next to the boy and began to try to open his eyes to the realities of the miracles of the Bible. That can all be very easily explained. Modern scholarship has shown that the Red Sea in that area was only 10 inches deep at that time. It was no problem for the Israelites to wade across.

The boy was stumped. His eyes wandered from the man back to the Bible lying open in his lap. The man, content that he had enlightened a poor naive young person to the finer points of scientific insight turned to leave.

Scarcely had he taken two steps when the boy began to rejoice and praise louder than before. The man turned to ask the reason for this resumed jubilation.

Wow! Exclaimed the boy happily, God is greater than I thought! Not only did He lead the whole nation of Israel through the Red Sea, He topped it off by drowning the whole Egyptian army in 10 inches of water!

Think Tank - Quotes

Few of my favourite quote of John C. Maxwell:

1) "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

2) "We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are."

3) "Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it."

4) "You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them."

5) "Happiness simply cannot be relied upon as a measure of success."

God's Blueprint for Your Life

A wonderful quote which I recently read in a book.....

"To this wise God we may safely entrust all concerns, knowing He will manage them all so as to promote His own glory and our real good..."

What a great privilege we have.... To totally trust our Lord... who is the controller of everything...

Isaiah 48:17 - "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go."
