While I do not agree with everything in the author says in this book, some points really I agreed with while other points I disagreed with completely. For example, I agree we need to rely on God and on His Word -the Bible. God calls us to strengthen one another and follow God’s direction on how to speak and behave.

At the same time other points, I disagreed with – such a being able to speak words of healing and someone be instantly healed. Sometimes God uses illnesses or other infirmities in ways that we cannot understand. Also, we need to recognize the Lord's giveth, but He also taketh away according to His plans and purposes. So check out this book for yourself.

I am faced with writing a review where I have mixed feelings about the book. This book is one I read very carefully and prayed that God would reveal the truth. I didn’t want to have a critical spirit and wanted to give the author a review that was honest .

The first subject the author talks about is abundance. We all want to live in abundance but sometimes something is holding us back. The author uses many scriptures to illustrate what God says but I did have a little trouble with his examples. Money is a hard topic for many but the scripture is clear that the first ten percent is God’s. I do believe that God does tell us at times to give more. But I don’t like that it is done expecting to receive more. We give faithfully not because we expect to get more, but because we are obedient to His Word.

I understand that the author is passionate about God. It is nice to feel excited about Him and to know that He is there to listen to you. What I didn’t like was the say it and you get it attitude. Some of us pray for things and it doesn’t happen. There may be a faith issue or doubt that is holding you back. He wants us to be obedient and not have the attitude of what I say I get.

The author makes this statement, “How can you be a blessing to others if you are suffering yourself? I can be a blessing to others even in the midst of my own storm. What better way to overcome your suffering by giving to others. It doesn’t have to be money. It can be an encouraging word, a prayer or visiting someone who is ill. During those moments when we reach out to help others, our needs don’t consume us and we are able to be blessed by being his hands and feet.

I did like the chapter about Generational Blessing and Curses. I have heard many sermons about this and know that in order to break those generational curses we need to break the cycle. If you come from a home of abuse, then break that cycle with your children. We are not defined by our past but what we become. After reading the book I have to say that I felt like I was getting a sermon on tithing as the focus seemed to be on money. I leave you with this, “If it doesn’t line up with the Word of God, than it is not true.”

None of us will always agree on what we think about a book. We each see a book in different ways and gleam different aspects from a book. I think this book may be one that each person will see differently. Angels have always been a topic that people feel strongly about. Some don't believe in them , while others do. As I read this book I sometimes wondered if I would be able to finish the book. I had a hard time understanding the examples the author shared about seeing angels. Then something inside me stirred and God reminded me of several times I experienced angels myself.

While you are driving down a road you see a car to your left coming upon a stop sign. You think nothing of it because the stop sign is there for cars to stop at. Suddenly you see the car moving at a high rate of speed coming right at you. In a split second the car is inches from hitting you and then stops. Was than angel looking out for you? Did the angel spare you from a horrible accident. We can interpret this example in many ways. I experienced this and I believe someone was watching over me that day. There have been several other close calls that have made me believe I truly have an angel watching over me.

I have never actually seen an angel like the author has described but it doesn't mean that they are not real. God gives us glimpses of things He wants us to see. For some we may never see an angel, but they are there watching over us, guiding us and protecting us. It was interesting to read about the different types of angels and what their function is. Each one has a specific task and are sent by God.

The author goes into detail about angels and uses scriptures to help us better understand what their purpose is. Some of the stories the author shares are examples of angels and their presence in our lives. This book is a great tool for those who want to know more about angels. I may not agree with everything said in the book but I do believe there are angels that walk with us everyday. Our experiences will be different and have different outcome than others, but in the end, " Dear friends, do not believe every spirit , but test the spirits to see whether they are from God."
