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.

Saved by grace, a new creation, on purpose for a purpose. I am free with a future and a hope!

I've considered deleting this blog many times but can't seem to let it go for some reason. Perhaps because it contains such an important part of my life and I'm hoping that somehow my 'scribblings' can inspire and help others going through some of the things I've been through. So, I continue to hold onto it for a little longer. Tonight, 31st December 2021, I reflect on not only the year that has passed but the many years before that too. I love to look back and reflect before plotting the way forwards into a new year. So I've pulled out all my journals and as I flip through the pages I am in awe of how far I have come.  Only today I found myself chatting with Jordan about the importance of not comparing ourselves with others but without past self, and as I look back I am amazed and how far I have come. I can't help but go back to that day. The day that I hit rock bottom. I had been a Christian for 10 years at that point and yet still found myself on the

Conference Feedback

We had a beautiful day together on 8th September, thank you so much to you all for your incredible support and prayers. Feedback and testimonies have already started flooding in, have a read of some of them here . Also, keep an eye on our YouTube page as we update it with the speakers messages and conference highlight videos. We had the stunning Instruments of Praise gospel choir lead us in worship and it was truly heavenly. We also had Daughters of Davis who absolutely blew us away with their fantastic acoustic folk/soul vibe. Our Women in Business section was a real treat with stalls offering all sorts of beautifully displayed goods. Jill Chitty from the Entrepreneurs Circle spoke to the women in business offering practical tips for business growth. Other breakout sessions included a Hope for Justice talk by Naomi and Cynthia shared her testimony of life as a Samburu woman . Molly Catherine Beebee from Cirencester Creative Dance Academy dazzled us with

Daniel Fast - Odours, Tiredness and Pains

These are some of what can occur during a fast but don't be alarmed, it is only worse case scenario.  Many people don't go through all of this so don't worry.  This info is merely so that you understand what is happening in your body and that you don't become concerned if some of these symptoms present themselves. Odours, tiredness, dizziness, headaches and other pains - these are some of the things that you will face during your fast.  As you continue to fast you body will begin to cleanse itself and eliminate toxins.  These toxins will come out of your body wherever they can which will mean that you might sweat more and your sweat will have a stronger smell than usual.  You breath will also be stronger than usual and so will you urine smell.  You may even get a funny taste in your mouth or feel that your tongue has a thick coat on it.  It sounds nasty, but for a while you will face unpleasant odours from your body, so brush well with a natural toothpaste (as you don
