Show and Tell Saturday

Welcome to Show and Tell Saturday...our host, Kim at Homesteaders Heart has set the theme this week as a book that has inspsired you to be better than who you are (other than the Bible). Hopefully, I'm not the only one who is cheating but I can't pick just one book...it has taken several to help me to be a better wife, mother, friend and Child of God.

My picks today are for becoming a better wife: His Needs Her Needs by Willard E. Harley, Jr., and Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian. As a better mother of a teenager: Every Day I Pray For My Teenager by Eastman Curtis and as a friend and Child of God: Total Forgiveness by R. T. Kendall. The other book...A Book of Prayer by Stormie Omartian is a book of all the prayers that Stormie Ormartian has written in The Power of a Praying Woman, The Prayer That Changes Everything, Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On, The Power of a Praying Wife and The Power of a Praying Parent. This is an awesome, handy little book...packed full of prayers for praying the Word of God over your situation.

The book for praying for you teenager...is not just for teenagers but can be used for children of all ages and adult children as well. This is an awesome scripture filled, very powerful prayers on every single subject or situation that involves our teenagers and what they are facing in our world today. It has 5 sections: Spiritual Life, Bondage-Breaking Prayers, Relationships, School Needs and Life Skills. Example topics: Spiritual...The Call of God, Confidence, Grace and Favor, Renewing of the Mind and Resisting Temptation (29 in this section). Bondage-Breaking...Abortion (had or contemplating), Addictions, Anxiety, Cult Influence, Gangs, Hate, Promiscuity and so many more (42 in this section alone). Relationships...Acceptance, Controlling Sexual Desires, Dating Standards, Disloyalty From Friends, Future Spouse and Peer Pressure (34 in this section). School Needs...Academic Achievements, Cheating, Choosing a College/Major, Favor Among Peers, Favor in Sports and Teacher Relationships (15 in this section) and Life Skills...Budgeting Finances, Career Choices, Employer/Employee Relationships and Preparing for the Future (12 in this section).

If you are battling with unforgiveness or if you are angry for "no" reason...check out this book...Total Forgiveness. I have blogged about it and how God delivered me from many things that I never thought I had a problem with concerning forgiveness. Awesome book!

I will just ordered yesterday from Amazon another copy of Every Day I Pray For My Teenager and A Book of Prayer to be used as a giveaway coming soon.

I also pre-ordered Stormie's new book The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children Book of Prayer...due out in July. I know many of us have adult children that aren't living for the Lord and I think this book will be an awesome tool in praying effectively for our adult children.

Have a wonderfully blessed day!
