A to Z Challenge G is for God is not mad at you ,God''s Wisdom for Today, and The Grave Robber

Today back to books.

 The first book is by Joyce Meyer and is titled "God is not Mad at You."

In this book Joyce Meyer opens dialogue on one thing that many follower's of Jesus struggle with, the fact that Gpd loves us and is not a God of condemnation or one of punishment.

She uses her formula of mixing personal stories and Biblical scripture to bring the point home that God does love us.  She explains how sometimes our parent may be upset or punish us, but how they will come back and express their love for us.

She also gives examples how God is loving no matter what our actions may be.

Unlike her other books. there are no surveys or questions in this book to track our progress,  In this book she applies the principle of Let Go and Let God.  In this case let go of the baggage we have carried and let God help us move forward through his love and compassion.

Next up is a book that is actually a daily devotional.  The book is titled "God's wisdom for today" and it is  a collection of scripture followed by a devotional prayer.

An example of this is the Scriptural reading for April 9th. the scripture for the day is from Psalms 62 Verses 1-12 and then the devotional that ties into the reading which in this case is "Look closely at the repetitions in this wonderful Psalm of David's.  It's as if he can not praise God long enough or loud enough..."

On days that are supposed to be the Sabbath it will have two questions  and space to respond.

Our last book for today is "The Grave Robber" 

This book explain the ministry of Jesus, so of the miracles he did and how his mindset was that of one who is a servant of all.

This is an over-simplification of the book, it is again a book that uses personal examples to bring home points in each chapter.

It is well worth reading.
