Five Testimony Books We Highly Recommend

Hello all! I know it has been awhile, but I wanted to post today and share some resources we have been reading. In this post, I discuss five testimony books that we have read and want to recommend to you. Each book, except for the last one, the authors came out of a different belief system. For each book, there is the title, which you can click to learn more about the book and/or purchase, a description and a little commentary. Scroll on!

God, Greed and the Prosperity Gospel

God, Greed and the Prosperity Gospel: How Truth Overwhelms a Life Build on Lies.

“As his faith in Christ deepened, Costi Hinn, nephew of televangelist Benny Hinn, found himself questioning his family’s practices. This insider view from the once heir-apparent of one of the world’s leading prosperity dynasties offers a thoughtful perspective on the perils of greed, the power of the true gospel, and hope for the future of the church.” Click the link above or the book graphic to learn more!

Costi’s testimony was riveting to me becuase I saw his uncle on TV multiple times growing up and had not idea what all was really taught and believed in the “prosperity” gospel. It was extremely eye opening.

Also, we first learned about Costi in the American Gospel Documentary. We recommend that as well. Also, Costi has just released his second book called  More than a Healer.

5 Characteristics Christians Should Exhibit Based on 1 John

5 Characteristics Christian Should Exhibit Based on 1 John | Transformed4More

If you consider yourself a Christian, then one or both of the following questions has likely entered your mind.

  • How do I know I’m saved?

  • How do I show someone who believes they are saved, but is living in open unrepentant sin, that he/she might not understand true conversion?

During my Christian life, I have wrestled with both of these questions. After much search and study, I think a good place to consider the answers to them is 1 John.


Why 1 John?

For quite awhile, I had been contending with the second question listed above. One day, while reading through 1 John, God through the Holy Spirit allowed me to see that John lays out clearly and specifically some characteristics true Christians should possess.

Before we fully dive in, I highly recommend that either before you continue reading, or after you finish this post, that you take time to read through 1 John yourself for full context.

Please know that I am not here “judge” anyone’s salvation. Also, I know we are not saved through works, etc.; this is just meant as a starting point for consideration and further study.

Below are the characteristics. First I will provide the characteristics, the evidence from 1 John, and a brief commentary. Let’s go!

Have you been looking for different items, such as books or activities to supplement the Bible when teaching your children about the true meaning of Christmas and/or Advent? Then, this post is for you!

Over the last few years, I have bought several items to fulfill this purpose, some were really helpful, but some were not. So, in today’s post I wanted to share five resources I’ve found to help teach young children (ages 3-7) the basics.

The Special Wreath

The Special Wreath: An Explanation of the Advent Wreath for Small Children is a book I wrote that simply explains the parts of the Advent Wreath for children and reiterates that Jesus is the true focus of Christmas. It has a rhyming flow which my kids really enjoy. Click here or the picture below to learn more!

A Bible Chapter & 4 Songs to Help with Coronavirus Anxiety

A Bible Chapter and Four Songs to Help with Coronavirus Anxiety

The Coronavirus has affected all of us to some degree, whether it be a job loss, contracting the actual virus, not being in school, working from home, or being socially distant or isolated.

During this time of uncertainty, I have seen many posts suggesting songs and Bible verses for this time. Taking the cue, I wanted to offer the ones that have been helpful to me. I hope they are helpful to you too.

Four Songs

“Fear Not Tomorrow” by The Collingsworth Family

One thing about me is that I love families that sing together. I grew up singing with my family; it is special to me.

This song by the Collingsworth Family is so comforting and reminds us that no matter what tomorrow may bring, God is already there. If you only pick one song to listen to on this list, pick this one!

How to Talk to a Friend Making Negative Life Choices

How to Talk to a Friend who is Making Negative Life Choices| Transformed4More.com

In the last post, I discussed three signs that a friend may be going down a destructive path or is making negative life choices.

To follow that up, I wanted to discuss a caring way you can talk to your friend to try and figure out what is going on.

True friends look out for each other. One of the best things you can do is talk to them about what you see happening and that you are genuinely worried about them.


A Foundational Bible Verse

Matthew 18:15-17 provides the way to keep one another accountable. This verse is more applicable in church discipline, but can work in almost any situation. Below is the verse, then I will break it down.

If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.”
