MY THOUGHTS.....

In the preface of this new book, author Annie Weber confesses that she had never picked up a Bible until she was twenty-eight years old. I don't know her current age, but I do know that her acceptance of Jesus Christ and her continuing walk with Him has enabled her to write a book that promises to be beneficial to many different people, from new believers to seasoned Christians!

Astounding Truths of the Bible has been a special addition to my worship time. Weber shared her thoughts and experiences with humor and discerning insight and I often felt like I was in a personal conversation with her. Each of the 100 astounding truths is two pages long and they all begin with Scripture and end with a prayer. They may be bite-size, as the subtitle says, but these bites are filled with nourishment for our souls! Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments is shared and the devotions are conveniently divided into four sections. Want to know more about The Character of God? Check out Part 1. Longing to know God's Desire for His People? That's covered in Part 2. But don't forget Part 3! Weber labels it as Curious Parts of the Bible and it's filled with astounding truths that are sometimes overlooked. Finally, in Part 4, we're shown how God Equips His People. Twenty-five amazing truths of God's efforts to equip His people with the tools to live a life that honors Him!

If you're looking for a fresh perspective and in need of a new resource to help you in your study of God's Word, grab a copy of this book! Annie Weber may be new to me, but I look forward to reading more of her inspiring work.

I received a copy of this book from the author via Celebrate Lit. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

More from Annie

My passion and joy are found in helping people better understand the Bible, in bite-sized Truths. It was a clear calling from the Lord to write Astounding Truths of the Bible because I am well acquainted with my reader. I wrote to the gal who is not familiar with the Bible, but has a desire to understand God and His plan for His people.
 
At 28 years old, God redirected my path in a beautiful way. I was a new mom, home with a baby and found myself with some extra time on my hands due to the fact that I had a disciplined little girl who decided on a regular nap schedule. While little Lucy slept, I began devouring the Bible. I was so impressed that one book could include such amazing wisdom for life. I had never read the Bible before that time. That was 16 years ago, and since then the Lord has allowed me to use my gifting and talents to help explain the Bible using humor, quirky personal anecdotes, and my love of wordplay to help illustrate the teachings of God and His character.
