Book review: Unwrapping the Names of Jesus by Asheritah Ciuciu

Unwrapping the names of Jesus is a nice opportunity to prepare for celebrating the Christmas season. One of the most wonderful time in the holidays is preparing our hearts to celebrate Him. In Unwrapping the Names of Jesus, Asheritah Ciuciu helps readers to prepare through the four weeks of Advent (Hope, Preparation, Joy, and Love). Every week she begins with an interactive family devotional that equips readers to celebrate Advent together. Also she presents five daily reflections that focus on that week's name of Jesus. The book includes suggestions for fun-filled family activities or service projects. This devotional can be used by readers in their own personal worship times or as a way in engaging in family worship during the holidays. The devotional helps you prepare your hearts for the celebration of the birth of baby Jesus. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.

Book review: Anatomy of an affair by Dave Carder

One of the adultery dangers is that it can happen to anyone, it’s better to avoid saying: "It won't happen to me." A lot of people think their marriage is safe from adultery and don’t worry about it whatsoever, when in reality they may be the most vulnerable. This book has lots of practical stories, clinical insights, also recent data. Dave Carder reveals what adulterers learned the hard way, what they want the rest of us to know to save us the pain and misery of such a destructive experience. Dave Carder is a counselor and author of the best-selling Torn Asunder, also a well known expert on issues of adultery. In the book he presents how to make your marriage adultery-proof. The main things he focuses on are: firstly how attractions can lead to affairs. Secondly: ways you may be vulnerable to affairs. Thirdly: the common ingredients of adultery, also how to restore intimacy to your marriage, how to make wise, protective decisions. A big conclusion: marriage is too sacred to be taken casually. There’s no doubt about it that affairs are a very real threat, and they can destroy lives and families. As a result, Anatomy of an Affair should be read by every married couple. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.
