Esther or Delilah? by Angela De Souza

Esther or Delilah? is an honest look at how women use their beauty to seduce men! Whether you like it or not you are using your beauty for something, but are you using it to empower a man or are you using it in a way that leaves him powerless? Both Esther and Delilah were beautiful women in the Bible. Both women seduced the man in their life. One woman used her beauty to save her people; the other woman used her beauty to destroy her people. Today’s women are no different from Esther and Delilah. Which woman are you?

Asleep in Heaven's Nursery by Tommy Mann 

Tommy's book is a deep and powerful testimony of how he and his wife came to terms with some of life's most difficult questions around the loss of a child.  Not only does he share his and other families stories but he also goes deep into what the Bible has to say about these difficult issues.  I particularly liked how thorough he was in unfolding important Bible verses and principles to his readers.  I can highly recommend this book to you whether or not you have experienced the loss of a child as the Biblical principles used can help in many areas of life.  My deepest sympathy to all those who have lost a child, may you know God's love for you more than ever before as you grieve.   www.tommycmann.blogspot.co.uk

Moments of Truth by John MacArthur 

John writes devotions that offer biblical teaching, scripture and prayer to match the annual happenings of the calendar.  It's wonderful to read a devotional so rich with truth and void of unnecessary waffle that so many books contain these days.  Each day is one page long and gives you sufficient to ponder on for the day.  I highly recommend John's book to you, it will change your life slowly, one day at a time.

Help for the Fractured Soul by Candyce Roberts

Eye opening is the only way to describe this book.  It's hard to believe that people can live through such trauma and abuse.  No wonder they create another personality to cope.  I have a new level of compassion for people after reading this book as I feel my eyes have been opened.  We are so quick to judge people and seldom take time to understand what causes them to be the way they are.  Candyce has done a fantastic job of informing us and equipping us to better deal with the reality of the the lost and broken world that we live in.  I can't recommend enough that you read this book.

The Tale of a Church Planter

  The ups, downs, frustrations, joys and everything in-between on the roller coaster ride of church planting. I can honestly say that no recipe or formula for church building exists - God does not work in this way! D7 Church is proof of this. Not because we didn’t try, we did try just about everything. Our bookshelf is lined with books that tell you what works and what doesn’t work. Our computer is filled with files of blog posts from mega-church pastors, documents with strategy from other churches. We have attended conferences and visited other churches to try and learn about building a church.  It was only when we gave up and said so to God that we began to have breakthrough. This is our story.

Nature's Way - Hair Colouring

Good news for those of you living in the EU but sadly bad news for my USA friends.  Europe is well ahead of the USA in its responses to potentially dangerous chemicals in health and beauty products. On 1st December 2007 a ban was imposed on 22 hair dye substances issued by the European Commission.  These ingredients had been linked to bladder cancer in a 2001 University of Southern California study.  Günter Verheugen, the European Commission Vice-President, said, "Substances for which there is no proof that they are safe will disappear from the market.  Our high safety standards do not only protect EU consumers, they also give legal certainty to the European cosmetics industry." The USA however, has not required manufacturers to file data on ingredients or report cosmetic-related injuries.  If you wish to find the exact 22 ingredients do an Internet search for ‘Europe Bans 22 Hair Dye Chemicals’ The most dangerous hair dye ingredients are the Arylamines chemi...
