A to Z Challenge L is for Life in the Word, The Life of Jesus, Living in the Spirit, Living the Spirit Filled Life, Living beyond your feelings and Living Courageously

Well I am back.  At this time I do not have any reading material of music to represent K, so we move onto L.  We begin with another book by one of my favorite authors Joyce Meyer.

The title is Life in the Word.  This is a daily devotional, however it is not the same format.  In  Life in the Word we start with a scripture reading, this is followed by Joyce's her reaction and description of scripture as well as any insight.

At the end of her insight she has a montra for the day,  Here is an example for you.

" For God so loved the world that he gave up his only begotten son, so that who ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3 v 16

She says "...Unless you have received it yourself, you can not give love away."

Then the montra for the day is; "God Loves me, I am special to him.  I receive his everlasting love toaday and am strengthened..."

Above are quotes from Joyce Meyer's Life in the Word.

Next we have a publication by TIME LIFE on The Life of Jesus.

This is in a magazine format that goes into detail on who the four writers were, and why they wrote as they did and who their selected audiences are.  Each page goes into the life of Jesus using references to the scripture then building upon this.

This gives a reader a deeper understanding of the four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles.  New breath is put into these classic books and one really gets to know Jesus and understand more deeply who he was.

Next up is a book by George O Wood, a Pentecostal minister.

The book is Rev. Wood's personal account of how the Holy spirit has impacted his life, this book is very heavy in the way it presents information and although Rev. Wood was hoping to make this a book that would be easy for others to read it is one that requires patience .

The book is very versed from a theological perspective and can be a slow read, but there is information here-in so it is worth working through the book.

Next another Joyce Meyer Book, as I said above one of my favorite authors.  This book is titled Living Beyond your Feelings and is subtitled Controlling emotions so they do not control you.

Like Developing a mindset of an attitude of Gratitude by Robert Gray this book is about transforming our mind, instead of walls of stone we live with unlimited potential.  Nothing is impossible when we rely on God.

Parts of this book Refer to Paul in Romans, where Paul says "I want to do what is right, but I do what is wrong"  This quote is the title of the first chapter of the book and it looks at how we at times trip ourselves up because we are living by our desires and not listening to what God is saying to us.

Joyce gets you to see past the wall you have built around you and knock down the wall.
