E-book Grace of Giving

Within minutes on your e-reader!

Nowadays a book is more than well... just a book! The reader must make his or her choice between paper backs, hard backs, audio books and e-books! Personally I prefer a paper back, I love to write my notes in a book, underline sentences and highlight the parts I want to remember! My books are also available as audio books, because for many people is is simply easier to listen than to read. Up to now I have not mentioned the e-book on my weblog. Where have I been?

Of course Grace of Giving is available as e-book! Within minutes and for a few bucks you can have it on your e-reader, Nook or Kindle (and many other devices). Is that awesome or what? Order here!

PS: We'll be traveling for a few days because we're speaking at a Kingdom Conference in Germany. So let me wish you all a happy weekend!

Blogger review Grace of Giving

Oh well, I am sobbing again... (see my previous post)... This time tears of joy and thanksgiving. My dear blogging friend Lorrie Ransom posted on her blog Grow Up Deep about my latest release Grace of Giving. She wrote with passion and honesty and totally left me amazed and speechless... such kind words. Please, be so kind to visit her blog and say hi, she totally deserves it!
Is the blogging community good or what?? Have you had similar experiences?

Sobbing through the introduction...

We bloggers just LOVE give-aways, it is such a great way of blessing one another! A while back I won a book through a give-away at Susan Panzica's blog. I was delighted and really believe my good luck has changed for the better, haha, I have never won anything before in my life! She mailed me a copy of The Hole in Our Gospel written by Richard Stearns, the president of World Vision US.

It was on my to-read pile for quite some time and this week I finally opened the first page and began to read. I cried throughout the introduction and all the way through the first chapter... really! Sobbing at a mere foreword is a new experience for me and for one thing, Stearns had my attention! Wow, I hope to be able to write in such a way one day. Stearns touches a very sensitive subject: the role of the 21st century church in the affairs of the world. You can find hundreds of reviews on Amazon, so I'll skip that, but I just wanted to highlight one of the questions he asks in this book, which is really all about building and advancing the Kingdom of God here on earth.

"The Lord's prayer, repeated in churches the world over, contains the phrase 'Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven'. Do we believe what we pray?"

After Jesus' resurrection he went around for 40 days, talking about the Kingdom. His message was huge, it was world changing, it was utterly important, so important that it came out of His mouth until the day He went back to the Father! What are we doing? Are we inviting people into His Kingdom? Are we advancing His Kingdom everywhere we go?

Review and words to ponder

Today I received another great and honest review for my new released book Grace of Giving. If you are somewhat familiar with the writing business, you know how hard it is to get your work reviewed. Hopefully you also know how rewarding it is to receive a good rating and/or positive review! Needless to say I am happy, honored and thrilled with the review on Christian Book Notes. I realize I have mentioned Grace of Giving more than once on this blog and many of you have read the book. However, for those of you who are still planning to read it, this review offers useful insight on the subject matter, so feel free to check it out!

Since we are still traveling, I'll keep this post short and give you a thought to ponder. A thought about Peter walking on water: "The waves were just as high when Peter walked perfectly on the water as when he sank. The wind was just as great when Peter walked perfectly, as when he sank..."

In other words, there will always be storms in our life. It is our focus that will determine how we will continue our walk! Let's focus on the unchanging Word of God, not on the words the world hurls at us!

Traveling Light

Traveling Light

Has it ever happened to you that an idea kept coming back to your mind? No matter what you tried, it was impossible to push it away. Every time you dared to think about it, it kept growing, it kept you awake and it kept you on the edge of your seat.

Well, that happened to us when we first started thinking about starting a European based non profit organisation. It must have been about two years ago. At first we didn't take it too serious, but the idea kept coming back. So, finally we talked business, with each other and with God! After much thought and prayer we finally signed the papers last week and Traveling Light was born.While we are still working on some final paper work, we already have a weblog up and running. If you're curious, please visit us at the Traveling Light weblog and be inspired and encouraged! I have also added a link in the sidebar on the right!
