Review: Creativity for Christians - Sheilah Vance

-


Being a Christian , is something that I am proud of , it is something that I can hold my beliefs too and for those who don't realise it or just in case you have meet some pretty hypocritical pharisees/Christians out there. Being a Christian does not mean judging people just because they don't share the same beliefs as you - it means opening your eyes and heart to the world of others around you. Just remember Jesus wasn't critical of others and he definitely didn't judge them based on their lifestyles.
The second awesome thing about being a Christian, is simply the fact that being a Christian means I don't turn my cheek and shy away from reading books that are Christian Fiction and Non-Fiction as readers , there are some pretty awesome books that fall into the genre of Christian.
Today's book is titled "Creativity for Christians" and is provided as a review copy from Netgalley

Creativity for Christians: How to Tell Your Story and Stories of Overcoming from the Members of One Special Church (Personal Christian Testimony P)

Review: Creativity for Christians - Sheilah Vance - September 2010

As a Christian we sit there and listen to others talk about their testimonies , how they met God/ how they came to be saved and some are pretty amazing and others like mine can be a bit bland as growing up in a Christian home, though I have had more than your average trials and triumphs and God's provision -to me Ive lived a pretty sheltered life and quite frankly I'm sure people would get bored listening to me ramble on , though on the other side -they might just enjoy it as that's what I tend to do with some of the reviews I write.
In the bible Revelations 12v11 - It talks about God telling the world of Christians that it is will that we all share our testimonies with each other as whether we realise it or not we all have a story to share and tell and even better is that it will affect at least one person who hears it :).
Creativity for Christians teaches readers juts how to do that - relax, find your story and overcome the fear of sharing your testimony as I once heard at a Church sermon about Fear is that Fear is simply False Evidence Appearing Real.
The book is split into two parts, the first is a course in teaching you how to prepare and write your own testimony and if you need that little bit extra push- it does include some Christian writing exercises. The second part of the story is in order to spark your inspiration and show you that everyone has a story, the second part is a collection of other Christians testimony , stories that were written to overcome the fear .
Creativity for Christians is a book that I recommend everyone should have and if you are thinking of a career as a budding pastoral team or elder or even a career as a public speaker, then it is something that you should add to your necessity list.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
