  • Through My Headset – Precious In His Sight

    I recently ran across an audio series by Theresa Ingram, wife of Pastor Chip Ingram of Living on the Edge.  I downloaded the MP3 and PDF files and thoroughly enjoyed the “Precious In His Sight” series and teachings of Theresa.  I related so well to her words.

    The first part is titled “Mirror, Mirror On the Wall” and looks at  what God says is true about my appearance; I am Beautiful in Jesus’ Eyes.  I was created in God’s image. I am beautiful because He designed me, knows me intimately, and loves me. Though man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart.

    Part 2 is titled “From Cinderella to a Princess”, noting we are righteous in Jesus’ eyes. There is a difference in our lives before and after Christ.

    In part 3 you are “Born to be a Winner”. Theresa discusses how to experience in you what is true of you. What untruths do you tell yourself? What is true of you? I loved her question “what is tatooed on your mind?’   Your self-talk could be your biggest weapon satan will use against you.

    Finally, in part 4, appropriately titled “Wings” you are reminded how uniquely gifted and enabled by God to make a significant impact with your life. Yes, are can make an impact. She discusses the 4 road blocks we set up that hinder God from using us.

    I was very touched by this series. I heard myself in her stories.

    Once I finished I learned that there is an audiobook titled “Precious in His Sight” which is unabridged. The MP3 files are available through Amazon and the Living on the Edge website.

    I highly recommend this to every woman who has even the slightest bit of self-doubt.  Yes, God can use you and wants to use you. He can and wants to use me.

    This website, my desire to become a life coach and to begin public speak, along with my Knit and Crochet Bibles Studies, and my teddy bears are just the tip of the story He is unfolding in my life.

    What story is He unfolding in your life?

  • Through My Headset – The Betrayal

    Anxious to continue with the story of “The Brotherhood” I quickly loaded the audio story “The Betrayal” , part 2 of the story.

    The story did conclude, exciting to the end. It reminded me of many of today’s police dramas with the twist of a man seeking to follow God.  I am pleased to know there are additional books in the series.

    Jerry B. Jenkins brings life to characters who believe in the Word and face daily trials where they learn to rely on it. He doesn’t add the falseness often portrayed on television.

    The narration and writing were very good.  I could visualize the scene and follow the action. Sometimes I found it hard to knit or crochet while listening, because I was so engrossed in the story.

    As I looked into the next book, I found this is a trilogy, thus only 1 more book. The story could end at Betrayal, I am anxious to see what happens next. I was, however,  looking forward to long series…. oh well.

  • Through My Headset – The Brotherhood

    I have just completed and quickly moved on to Book 2 of this Precinct 11 series by Jerry B. Jenkins.  I want to know what happens next.

    I have only read/heard books from Jerry Jenkins related to Christ’s return.  This is fiction novel, dealing with everyday life.

    I enjoyed the writing and the narration.  I particularly enjoyed the pastor’s comments during a funeral after a tragedy.  I don’t want to leave any spoilers, but I found his words comforting.

    I am now more than half way through the 2nd book, “The Betrayal”. 

    The biggest problem? I am so intent on the book my stitches are on hold 🙂

  • Through My Headset – The Prodigal Project

    Struggling with some last minute Christmas crafting, I have a book on CD playing in the background.  This is the first of a series called THE PRODIGAL PROJECT. This one is title “The Prodigal Project: Genesis”  (click here to see this item in Amazon, no affiiliation)

    Written by Ken Abrahan and Daniel Hart, this story takes you into the lives of several people who, after you meet them, are faced with a massive worldwide  ‘disappearance’.

    The reader, Dick Hill, has a good narrative voice which keeps me focused on the story.

    The storyline takes us through the lives of those ‘left behind’. As the tagline reads: ‘For Some, The End Times Are Just Beginning’. I will probably listen to more of the series.

    Whether you believe in the idea of a rapture or not, the story will make you think about the world as it is today and look to your own life.

    Do you have a favorite novel about the rapture? Please let me know your recommendations in the comments below.

  • Through My Headset – The LEFT BEHIND series

    With the release of the movie “LEFT BEHIND” starring Nicholas Cage, I thought I would mention here that I listened to the dramatized versions of the Left Behind books via Audible Dot Com about 10 years ago.

    While listening I did take a break. I was listening at the time of the Twin Towers attack at the same time attacks were taking place during the book. I was on emotional overload and had to step away for a bit.

    I enjoyed the dramatized version. It felt like being at a movie without the visual. I do not want all the books I listen to to be dramatized, but for some books it truly helps bring it alive.

    It was easy to follow the story line while working on a knit/crochet project.

    What series of books have you enjoyed and would you recommend?
