Books to consider

A few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to start getting into reading again. I'm not the best reader but I enjoy it, especially since it is winter time I have more time to read. So there are two books that I have picked up but I will talk about Shattered Silence first. This book is written by the oldest daughter of 'The Happy Face Killer'. Just knowing that kind of sends you chills but the book is a great read. She goes through her life from the beginning. The first chapter will put you to tears, well it did me. She talks about her precious kittens she has and how she loves to mother them and take care of them. A few pages into it she tells of how her father hates cats and loves to torture them. Now, not only does he like to inflict pain on the kittens, he does it in front of his children. WOW red flag!! For these four kittens she has ,he ends up hanging them up on a clothes line until they die. Now not only is that cold but it's the fact that this frantic 5 year old is clinging to her mother begging her to stop daddy from hurting 'my babies'. This book is, yes, heartbreaking but ends with triumph over fear and a broken heart.

The Blue Bottle Club is a FABULOUS book. A+. It's a story about a reporter who has a story she pursues about these 4 friends who leave behind in a blue bottle their dreams. The reason behind the reporter finding this bottle is the city had condemed the house the bottle was found in and was being torn down. She saved the bottle and began her search for the 4 friends. It's a great great story. I would highly recommend it.

Ok so in conclusion about my new book adventure, I bought another one to read. Costco is a great place to buy books for discount!!!! ANY ways the new book is

I'll be sure to let you know how the book goes!!!! I heard it was a book about Laura Bush and her life but in a novel sense instead of autobiography!? Not sure we'll see!

Heaven or Hell?

Ok, so this heading, a little differnent I know but let me go into detail. These are just a couple of books I have been reading about people's experience of "the after life". Oh my gosh, huge eye opener. Now before I begin I must tell all of you the absolute divine coincidence about these books before I read them.

As most of you all know (reading my sisters blog) my grandpa Henry passed away. His passing was absolutely and completely God's Hand at work. He was baptized one month before he passed away. That is just one huge blessing that occured while grandpa was still alive. He had strayed away from God in his younger years but God wasn't going to give up on answering our families prayer for grandpa to accept Jesus Christ. He was starting to go to church with grandma, quoted scripture and told us he was once sprinkled with water but wanted to be immersed in the water. He wanted to make sure he got ever sin washed away. AMEN! It was pure excitment to see him be baptized in Jesus Christ and to publically make it known. Grandpa passed while he was sleeping. It was absolutely peaceful and God's perfect timing. Now my grandfather is in heaven praising Jesus and singing his favorite song, "The Old Rugged Cross"!! Now why the books? My mother and I were talking about these books on a few days before grandpa's passing. Crazy!? But not just a coincidence!

The first book I read was, "A Divine Revelation of Hell". I will not go into detail of the entire book (to give you more of an incentive to read it too), but Jesus had come to this woman and told her He was going to take her to every part of Hell. Her task was to tell the world the truth about Hell, and that Hell is a real place. This book is not only the most intense book I have ever read, but the most detailed. After reading it, it makes you want to stand on the sidewalk and tell everyone about Salvation. The first scene you get of hell in the book is the smell, the horror, the darkness and the pits that sinners are living in. Combine rotten eggs, human feces, spoiled milk, and the smell of dead people, that's the smell of hell. She witnesses these people crying out in sheer horror, with flesh falling off their bones asking for forgiveness. Jesus explains to her about each one and how and why they ignored Salvation. The book goes into detail that there are certain punishments for certain sinners. Such as devil worshipers, witches and warlocks. She explains that Jesus came to her every night for 30 days to show her that Hell is a very real place. Now after I was done reading this book, I was not only shook up but had to put in check my own Salvation. We have absolutely no idea when we are going to die or be raptured. A good example my grandfather, he simply went to bed on Tuesday night and did not wake up. He is in Heaven!! AMEN!

Now "90 Minutes in Heaven". This man tells his account of being pronounced dead at the scene of his 86' Ford Escort completely smashed by a semi truck. He tells of how the EMT's at the scene had never seen a man so dishelved. His limbs were barely hanging on to his body, blood coming out of his eyes, ears and nose. He had no pulse and was pronounced dead. A man who had come upon the wreck asked if he could pray for the man inside the car. The EMT told him, 'Dude, the guy is dead'. But the man felt a huge urgency to pray for the dead man in the car. He did. He said that he has never prayed that way in his life, his whole being prayed for the dead man. Next he was given the breath of life and started singing. The man who was praying was completely suprised, and screamed "He's ALIVE!" Now while he is dead for 90 minutes he tells his account of Heaven. I will not go into detail, (it's a must read) but I will share one thing. While he was standing in Heaven, he could hear the angel's praising His name in song. Everyone was singing all at once different songs, but it was not at all chaotic. He could hear every word of each song, and it was Beatiful. One of the songs he mentioned are "The Old Rugged Cross"! As I read I burst into tears knowing that grandpa is singing that song right now!!!! Now go buy both books!!!

The book I am currently reading right now is called "23 minutes in Hell". Another good book. I won't go into detail about that one, you have to buy it :) But those two books that are pictured up top are more than just books, they are testimonys of the truth about Heaven and Hell! It's real, very real and Jesus is coming soon. Are you going to Heaven?
