Angels Are For Real - Review

by Judith MacNUTT

I've always loved hearing heavenly miracles. You know the kind where you know God's hand or the hand of an angel has been involved in someones life. I believe we still experience miracles today and that angels do exist. That's why I wanted to review Judith MacNUTT's book 'Angels are for real'.

First, a little about the author:

Judith MacNutt worked as a psychotherapist in private practice and at several hospitals in Boston. She has since started, with her husband, a unique and cutting-edge healing ministry, Christian Healing Ministries.

 

Judith starts the book off with her own story of experiencing her own divine encounter. Her book is written to share more with us than just the re-telling of others experiences. Judith tries to help the reader understand the role of Angels with chapters like:

 

• What Is an Angel?
• How Angels Appear
• Angels in the Kingdom of God
• The Classification of Angels
• Guardian Angels
• Angels and Healing
• Unholy Fallen Angels
• The Veil Is Thin

The writer talks about the jobs of angels and their primary responsibilities. She uses scriptural references to provide examples of angel's primary responsibilities. Throughout the book Judith quotes Bible scripture to help the reader better understand where her opinions come from. She has obviously put much effort into research about Angels.

 

Whether you believe or come to the same understanding as the writer the book serves as encouragement and a jumping off platform for you to do your own research. As with any book, it's meant to be thought provoking, allowing you to make your own final decision.

A final thought:
I was looking for a book with feel good stories. This book does have that but it's more in depth than that. It's not a 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' kind of book. The book requires you to think a little more and is to help you better understand Angels and there purposes. Just so you know.

A Cricut Alternative To Thank You Cards

Hi Ya'll.  Thanks for stopping by for a visit.  Welcome to the new readers, I hope you'll take time to hop around my blog and stay awhile.  And to all ya'll who come by regularly - love ya'll!

I thought I'd share my latest Cricut project with you.  I just mailed out my thank you's for all the kind condolences we received after my MIL passed last month.  I didn't really like the think little paper cards that the funeral home provided so I decided to make my own.  I used the Doily 3 Frame from the Cindy Loo Cartridge.

On the inside of some of the cards I added a strip of patterned paper and I cut the wording out of the funeral home thank you's and layered on on colored paper adding so ribbon.  Lastly I stamped "So thankful for you".

Cricut wasn't used with the card below.  I just wet and tore the paper, used decorative scissors on the corners of the print I made copies of and trimmed with ribbon.

Inside I used one of the old hymn books that I've collected for a background to my thankful for you stamp.

I also made some memorial bookmarks to include.  Hopefully they will keep this in their Bibles as a remembrance of mom.

I just cut out the part of the funeral program and glued it to the back of these pretty images printed on card stock.  You can see the front and back below.

Thanks for stopping by.  Don't forget I have to giveaways on my right side bar!

God's Amazing Timing

God's timing is amazing.  Big surprize there, right.  On New Years Eve I recieved an email from Janet @ Along the Way.  She told me I had won her giveaway.  I was thrilled but to be honest with all we've had going on I forgot all about it. 

 Then wouldn't you know I recieved the my prize just after mom died.  It was Angels True Stories by Robert J. Morgan.  What a way God has of comforting us.  It seems he had set his plan in place even before he took our mom home.  Thank you Lord for loving me.  And thank you Janet for being the instrument that he used.
