The Coming Revolution by Dr. Richard G. Lee

With just 212 pages, "The Coming Revolution" by Richard G. Lee, has a lot to say and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.  He starts out with an introduction that briefly explains the downward spiral our country seems to be headed in and hence the beginning of discontent that many Americans are feeling with the present Administration in Washington which has resulted in the rising up of the Tea Party movement. 

He then begins in chapter one with our country's founding and the fight the Colonists engaged in against the King of England in order to become a free and independent people in their new land of America. That fight resulted in the Constitution Of The United States and the Declaration Of Independence which guaranteed the people the freedom of "life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness" that people were endowed with by God, rights that cannot be taken away.

He explains that especially during the 60s and 70s, the social, religious, and moral values this country once new began to slip away until, today, America is hardly recognizable.

Dr Lee goes on to explain the disasterous left-wing, socialist policies of our current president, Barrack Obama, and how, unless stopped, they will destroy what America was intended to be.  In the last chapter he lists the what he believes we as citizens can, and must, do to effect change that will right the wrongs done and put America on the right track.  He says there is still hope for the country but we need to act soon or it will be too late.

I found the book very interesting and easy to read. It flowed nicely from beginning to end and I recommend it to all who are concerned about where the United States is headed if the right changes aren't made soon.

I received a copy of this book from the Thomas Nelson Publisher's Booksneeze review program in exchange for my honest review.

"Daily Gifts Of Grace" by Women Of Faith

This 366 page devotional is written by various Christian women, many of whom are well known including Joni Eareckson Tada, Sandi Patty, Barbara Johnson, Luci Swindoll and Sheila Walsh, just to name a few. Each devotional is just one page in length and covers a wide range of topics with a Scripture verse at the top of the page just below the title of that day's devotional.  The writers tie an experience they had with a verse of Scripture using it to encourage today's women.  At least that's how I view their writings.  Some of the devotionals are humorous, such as those by Barbara Johnson like "You There, With The Scissors!", while others are of a more serious note.

Over-all, I enjoyed the book.  However, I didn't feel there was much depth to most of the entries. Looking up the Scriptures noted on each page would help with that, though.  For a relaxing read, I would recommend it to anyone but, if you're looking for more substance in regard to living the Christian life, I would recommend something more along the lines of devotionals written by such authors as Charles Stanley or David Jeremiah, to name just two. 

The book has a very attractive cover and is, in my opinion, of quality construction and would make a really nice gift.

I received this book from Booksneeze a book review program of Thomas Nelson Publishers in return for giving a review.  I was not required to post a positive one. I was just asked to be honest.
