Women have a prayer list a mile long: Husbands. Children. Friends. Church leaders. Neighborhood situations. The military. World events. The sick and the shut-in and the chronically struggling. With so much on their minds, it’s no wonder that women sometimes forget to pray for themselves, neglecting their own needs and spiritual growth. For every woman who specializes in “front-burner prayer,” praying for whatever is boiling over at the moment (and there’s always something boiling over!) comes Prayers for a Woman’s Soul. This inspiring book will teach wives, mothers, friends, sisters, and daughters how to cover themselves with prayer on a regular basis. Each devotion includes powerful spiritual insight, personalized Scripture, and a prayer to help begin the conversation with God. This soul-pampering journey will rejuvenate, refresh, and revive a woman’s soul!

Why do so many people have to suffer? Why doesn’t my spouse love me? Why can’t I get a job? Why can’t we all just get along? Why doesn’t God seem to care what happens to me? It is human nature to have a multitude of questions swirling around in your mind. Sometimes you wonder if asking these questions about God, the Bible, and our world show signs of unbelief or doubt. Or maybe you wonder if there is any point in asking questions of God at all. 365 Questions for a Woman’s Soul asks the deep questions for which our souls long for answers. Some of these questions can be clearly answered from the pages of Scripture. Other questions do not have tidy answers, but by wrestling with them in relationship with God’s Word, we can gain perspective, wisdom, and a better understanding of who God is and why he allows events to unfold as they do.

A Soul Restored Imagine sitting in a church pew for years, Sunday after Sunday, all the while struggling with the issue of blasphemy, the guilt of having an abortion and not really believing you are truly saved. Imagine being a backslidden Christian who, sexually abused as a child and feeling far from forgiveness and redemption, searches in vain for love and acceptance in all the wrong places and struggles with sexual promiscuity, drugs and alcohol. Perhaps visualizing this scenario isnt so hard for you, because maybe you too are in a similar place of defeat. The good news, though, is that you dont have to stay defeated! Imagine God now revealing where you truly stand with Him and then, through His mercy and love, leading you back to Him. Do you know that no matter how dire or hopeless your life circumstances might seem, you can absolutely overcome sin, receive Gods mercy, and live a victorious life? Know this there is actually a way out of that dark tunnel, because no matter what youve done, God loves you and wants a relationship with you. Walk with Linda Sennett now, through the pages of a life once filled with sin, condemnation and unforgiveness, till she discovered Gods amazing grace and received total restoration, deliverance, reassurance, peace and freedom. What God did for Linda, He can do for you, because the promise of II Chronicles 7:14 is yours If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Reading these daily devotions will help calm your spirit and lead you into God's presence.

Has Satan got a case against you? The author of The Captured Soul has done a really good job translating biblical concepts into easy-to-understand language that can help both Christians and those wishing to explore the Christian faith gain an insight into the dynamics between the spiritual and physical world we live in. The book’s greatest strength is how clearly it frames the concepts of demonic strongholds and the curses that can follow people down through generations. After reading this book, the reader will come to understand how legalistic the relationship between God and man is. In The Captured Soul, the author has shown that sins, accusations, and repentance are not just ideas but real laws that are followed in heaven and executed by God. Have you ever wondered why your prayers are often not answered when you pray even when you know you have prayed according to God’s will? You have decreed God’s words over the mountains in your life, and they have not moved. The reason could be because Satan has a case against you and your family. In The Captured Soul, the author demonstrates to Christians how to use the system of prayer and repentance to get rid of whatever traps the devil may have set for them, whether it’s something like their own pride or an actual demonic curse. All in all, The Captured Soul is an exploration of the schemes the enemy employs to capture souls and the tools God has made available for their release from the devil’s bondage.

In life I have found that there many ways to handle stress of everyday life. When I was thirteen the drama from school got to be too much so I started writing. These poems reflect how I felt during times of pain, sorrow, hope, love, happiness and inner searching. I have known people all my life who at one time or another have needed some inspiration. These poems have been an inspiration to many who have read them. I decided to make a book of my poetry when I saw how it was helping people to work through what ever life had thrown at them. In these there is inspiration to be found. No matter what the situation you're facing there is always hope.
