Sabbath Sunday: That Brilliant Sun

January saw its share of dark days and snowy weather. When this rare sunny day came, the sun didn’t play coy. It was a full display, a “look at me” kind of brilliance.

And I realized, I should be that bright for others.

Not so people would see me, but that they would see Christ.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”

Matthew 5:14, NIV

If you’re in a relationship with Christ, if you call Him friend, don’t hide it. Put Him on full display through your words, actions, thoughts and deeds.

Book Review: The Five Love Languages for Men by Gary Chapman and Randy Southern

A note from Julie: As part of our review for The Five Love Languages for Men, Flyby Promotions invited us to have husbands share their thoughts.

Book Description:

Falling in love is easy. Keeping the sizzle in your marriage? That’s more like grilling the perfect steak-it takes time, attention, and some secret spices. Mastering your wife’s heart doesn’t have to be complicated, but it will take a little effort. Good intentions alone will not get the job done.

Gary Chapman gears this edition of his #1 New York Times multi-million best seller to your needs, challenges, and interests as a husband. Whatreally fills your wife’s love tank? (It may not be what you think.) How can you let her know what you’re thinking and feeling?  What can you do to make sex more meaningful and pleasurable for you both? This book offers a straightforward approach that will equip you for relational success.

Discover the secret that has already transformed millions of relationships worldwide. As you learn this simple, yet profound, concept for communicating love, you’ll be more confident and courageous in the ways that matter most. Really!

“When you express your love for your wife using her primary love language, it’s like hitting the sweet spot on a baseball bat or golf club. It just feels right-and the results are impressive.” -Gary Chapman

Includes an updated version of The 5 Love Languages® personal profile.

Tom: The Five Love Languages is the one book Julie and I most often recommend to others.  The principles are so simple and can work in any relationship, even business. With the revised 5 Love Languages for Men I learned that there are three updates that set it apart from the others—helpful illustrations, how to handle anger, and crafting apologies.

A lot of the book is familiar to me and yet it was a good refresher. It’s tempting to offer my primary love language to Julie and the book reminded me that doing that doesn’t fill her love bank. I have to speak her love language. Because her primary language is words of affirmation, that isn’t natural for me, so I appreciated the tips the chapter gave. They do the same for each love language.

The authors also go through anger and how it isn’t a bad thing if processed the correct way.  “Anger can be your friend” sounds odd, but the tools they gave to communicate through it made sense.

The apology section is a summary of the 5 Languages of Apology and is definitely worth a read. This is helpful not just for marriage, but with kids, extended family and business relationships.

There are also resources in the back, including the 5 Love Languages personal profile.

As Julie and I close in on two decades of meeting and dating, it’s easy for us to take each other for granted and let our marriage coast. The Five Love Languages for Men gives me tools, illustrations, challenges, tips and ideas to make sure I be proactive in filling her love bank by using her languages, not mine. There’s even a golf swing illustration that helped me grasp the concept.

It’s a book I hope men will be intentional in buying, reading, and using in marriage.

Your wife will thank you.

Book Review Revisited: Pulling Back the Shades

First published April 22, 2014

Christian women don’t have to choose between being sexual and spiritual. 

They have legitimate longings that the Church has been afraid to 

talk about, and books like Fifty Shades of Grey exploit. Whether 

you are single or married, sexually dead or just looking to revive your sex 

life, Pulling Back the Shades will address your desire 

to be both sexual AND spiritual. With solid Biblical teaching and transparent 

stories, trusted authors Dannah Gresh  and Dr. Juli Slattery, offer an unflinching 

look at the most personal questions women ask. The book offers practical 

advice for women to address five core longings:

to be 

cherished by a manto be protected by a strong manto rescue 

a manto be sexually alive to escape reality

God 

designed women with these longings and has a plan to satisfy them. It’s 

time for women to identify their intimate longings and God-honoring ways to fulfill 

them.

I knew there would be a Christian response to the “50 Shades” phenomenon. What I didn’t realize until after I read Pulling Back the Shades is the deep need there is for a Christian response, and for every woman and clergy member to read it.

Pulling Back the Shades explains that the Fifty Shades of Grey is about in easy to understand terms. Dannah Gresh and Dr. Juli Slattery go through and inform readers what actions in the book are real, and not. What actions are Biblical, and not. They explain that Christian women ARE reading not only Fifty Shades of Gray, but erotica in general. And defending themselves. Instead of judging women who read these books, the authors explain what is driving them to.

Women, even Christian women, single and married, are lonely.

They long for romance.

And escape.

And right there ready to pounce is the true defeated one, offering what looks like a perfect solution. Instead of having an affair, women feel justified reading erotica. But the after effects, the consequences of taking the mind to those words are far reaching and devastating.

I really was shocked by the grip satan has on women through erotica. Pornography is well documented and spoken about in sermons and counselor offices. But women reading Fifty Shades of Gray and books like it, and that it is causing problems? I was naive. I had no idea how many Christian women are reading these books. How many find the situations real and long for them enough in their lives they are leaving their marriages and seeking satisfaction where they can find it, thinking what they read in the books will be as thrilling as real life.

But devastation lays in the wake.

I applaud Dannah Gresh and Dr. Juli Slattery for tackling the subject, and for Dr. Slattery reading the Shades series. She did so with her clinical background and her faith, but covered herself in prayer as she read. Beyond the clinical things she discovered that I hinted at above, she was taken aback at the spiritual mocking the 50 Shades books takes, so subtle that EL James probably didn’t even realize it as she wrote. The “hero’s” name is Christian. The word holy is misused over and over and over again. Scriptural reference is employed in direct contrast to the Bible. And I could go on.

This book needs to be in every woman’s hands. Christian or not. All clergy should have this book and be ready for the women who will be coming in seeking counsel, or for the sermons they should prepare in an effort to set women free from a stronghold they might not know is destroying them.

Pulling Back the Shades is a must read. I’m sorry that it has to be as much as the authors struggled with writing it because the topic is so graphic. But I’m so glad they did.

Book Review: To Save Her Child by Margaret Daley

Book Description:

In Search of Her Son 

When a young boy goes missing from wilderness day camp, Alaskan search and rescue worker Josiah Witherspoon is on the case. The brooding ex-marine promises to find the child and return him to his worried mother. But he doesn’t know that Ella Jackson has a secret past. One that could put them all in danger. When tensions mount, Ella needs to tell Josiah the truth—but she can’t set aside her fears enough to trust him. Ella and Josiah are ready to risk their lives to save her son, but will they risk their hearts, as well?  

Alaskan Search and Rescue: Risking their lives to save the day

There’s nothing that brings suspense up a notch than when a child is missing. To Save Her Child has great suspense and a solid plot with Ella scared for her son and afraid her past has come back for them. Josiah is no longer active with the Marines but certainly has the training to help find the boy. But he has his secrets, too.

I always enjoy a book that features a hero with a military background and To Save Her Child doesn’t disappoint. This was a quick page turner like I said, with solid suspense. I definitely recommend it.

I received To Save Her Child from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

About Plundered Christmas:

Compelled to spend Christmas on a private island with her father’s future

bride and family, Jeanine learns that Margo Banet is descended from a

pirate queen.

Relatives and friends all have their reasons for attending the

festivities—including the legendary treasure. But when Margo’s nephew winds

up dead and a violent storm cuts them off mainland, Jeanine has to wonder

if they will solve the mystery before someone else dies trying.

PURCHASE

ON AMAZON

About the author:

[image error] Susan A. J. Lyttek, author of kids’ comedy, “Guzzy Goofball” and the

“Homeschool Play from Outer Space” and the cozy mystery trilogy by

Harbourlight Books which includes the recent Plundered Christmas, is

a wife and homeschool mother who writes early mornings in the shadow of our

nation’s capital. She also enjoys training up the next generation of

writers online through Write At Home, and by teaching middle and high

school co-op classes. Learn more about her and her projects at sajlyttek.com.

What COTT Voters Had to Say:

–Susan Lyttek, you are an amazing and talented writer.

–Susan, I can’t wait to read your new book!

–Looking forward to reading Plundered Christmas!

–Love Plundered Christmas.

–Susan, your work continues to thrive, all for the Glory of God! I’m proud

to know you, and can’t wait to read this one! A. Montgomery.

–Susan Lyttek, enjoy reading your books.

–I really enjoyed Plundered Christmas–between the character dynamics and

the plot twist I never saw coming–well done!

–Great series by Susan Lyttek!

Chat with Susan:Why do you write the kind of books you do? I homeschooled and am

homeschooling. These are the people I’ve been around for the last seventeen

years. That’s also why I weave history in. Every homeschool resource I know

targets multiple subjects and levels of learning.

Besides when you came to know the Lord, what is the happiest day in your

life? My goal is for today, whatever day that is, to be the happiest.

It doesn’t always work, especially when I get a piece of bad news or

insufficient sleep, but it’s my goal. I want to live contentedly in what my

Lord hands me each day.

What is your favorite season of the year? Christmas. Hands down.

What’s special about it for you?? I love my heritage and the special

traditions that we have. Every Christmas creates new memories that adds to

the woven tapestry of what it is. I also love celebrating the arrival of

the son of God in human form!

What is something that very few people know about you? I like to

read my Bible in French. C’est vraiment la belle langue!

What three things about you would surprise readers? I have a second

degree black belt in tae kwon do. I like LOUD music. (I’m a quiet person,

so the music thing surprises most people.) I earned a marksman ribbon with

the M-16 when I was in the Air Force.

What can you tell us about your current project? I assume you mean

Plundered Christmas. In this mystery, we need to figure out why the

Banet family has hidden their heritage all these years, in addition to

learning who killed Margo’s nephew. Secrets can poison a family and damage

relationships. As the Talbotts uncover the truth about Anne Bonny/Banet, it

leads to healing for those who accept it.

Crumbs and Embers Now Available

Last year I offered monthly installments of Match Made in Heaven, a contemporary romance based in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. It was my way of thanking newsletter subscribers for joining me on the journey. It was a fun novella and well received.

Wendy Bass is the Hammondsport Senior Complex director and she’s good at what she does. She’s organized and looking out for the seniors and their future. When a curve ball comes, it leaves her reeling.

Derek Spencer arrives in Hammondsport with his work cut out for him. He’s ready to make changes when he sees something familiar in Wendy’s reaction to his presence. He wants to reach out, but to do so, he’s got to share his past. And that’s something he vowed to keep hidden.

Can Wendy let go of her control and allow Derek in? Will Derek push past his skeletons to show Wendy a path to freedom?

Curious? I’d love for you to read more. To receive Crumbs and Embers, subscribe for free to my newsletter by completing the form in the left sidebar of my website. Make sure you watch for activation in your inbox and all folders.

Movie Review: 23 Blast

Movie Description:

When a high school football star is suddenly stricken with irreversible total blindness, he must decide whether to live a safe handicapped life or bravely return to the life he once knew and the sport he still loves.

I confess, when the movie started, my expectations were low. With the exception of Spy Kids actress Alexa Vega, none of the actors were names I knew. Sadly, most faith based films are known for having a cheesy element to them.

But like Travis Freeman and his true story about going blind and choosing not only to live in a sighted world, but play football again, as the movie progresses, it finds it footing.

Travis went from 20/20 vision one day to completely blind the next. He had to process through the anger and surrender his fears. His blindness affected a lot of people and I believe the movie did a good job showing that. His parents, especially his mother, really struggled with his loss of sight. He’s got one friend who sticks with him, to the point of being blunt about the girl that left as soon as things got tough. He has another friend with a lot of baggage that supplies a lot of humor but also struggles to find his place before and after Travis’ blindness.

By the last scene, I was crying. Like the other football movies with heart, I was sucked into the emotion and winning spirit the team carried regardless of the score. The last play is amazing.

The actor that played Travis reminds me of a young Matt Damon. I thought he did an admirable job in the challenging role.

At the end you learn the real Travis played a cameo part in a key scene, and that was emotional for me, too. I recommend watching the bonus footage as Travis not only shares his own story, the actors do as well. They also explain what happened to one of the players, and I think it’s important for teens especially to pay attention to that footage. The movie earned the PG-13 rating because of that player and his choices, and they are honest about showing those choices have consequences. Travis talks about his friend and the demons his friend never surrendered. It’s a real lesson to think about long after the movie is over.

As is 23 Blast itself. We may not face the same challenges as Travis, but we all have fears. I think the movie is an inspirational motivator for all of us to dig deep inside and surrender in faith.

For we walk by faith, not by sight 2 Corinthians 5:7 was the core verse for 23 Blast.

May it be the same for us.

COTT: Secrets and Lies by Janet Sketchley

 

[image error]

 

 

A single mother must protect her teenage son—from organized

crime and from himself.

 

[image error]

 

 

Secrets and Lies, by Janet

Sketchley

 

About the novel:

Carol Daniels thinks she out-ran her enemies, until a detective arrives at

her door with a warning from her convict brother. Minor incidents take on a

sinister meaning. An anonymous phone call warns her not to hide again.

Now she must cooperate with a drug lord while the police work to trap him.

Carol has always handled crisis alone, but this one might break her.

Late-night deejay Joey Hill offers friendship and moral support. Can she

trust him? One thing’s certain. She can’t risk prayer.

What reviewers are saying:

“Secrets and Lies delivers engaging characters and a sweet romance

in the midst of a single mom’s worst nightmare.”

~ Sandra Orchard, award-winning author of Deadly Devotion and

Blind Trust

 

“Secrets and Lies takes up where Heaven’s Prey

left off, and is another great thriller by Janet Sketchley. With the

backdrop of music and family, Secrets and Lies could really be

defined as a retelling of the Ultimate Redemption. Sketchley is very adept

at writing about the sometimes intricate and confusing relationships that

make up a family. This one is not to be missed.”

~ Linda Hall, award-winning author of Steal Away (Christian

fiction) and Night Watch (mainstream)

 

[image error]

A note from the author:

Secrets and Lies is a book 2 in the Redemption’s Edge series. I

met Carol, the heroine, through writing her brother Harry’s story in

Heaven’s Prey, and I knew her life had not been easy. I also knew

she needed the Lord. Secrets and Lies gives her the chance to find

Him—unless her enemies find her first.

For more about Carol and the other key characters, visit the Secrets and Lies book page. Scroll

past the buy links, and you’ll find interviews and features, plus a YouTube

playlist of the classic oldies (with a few extras) mentioned by title in

the novel.

This is a Christian novel, but Carol loves her mainstream classic rock.

Check out the Secrets and Lies

playlist on YouTube. There are a few other things in there that only

make sense if you’ve read the book.

What COTT voters had to say:

“Janet Sketchley writes with care and integrity, creating suspenseful

stories that stay with the reader for a long time.”

“I love a good

mystery/suspense read and Secrets & Lies looks fantastic!”

“Secrets and Lies by Janet Sketchley intrigues me and I think, of the six

books shown, I would be most likely to add this one to my pile of books to

read.”

“In “Secrets & Lies”, Janet Sketchley has written another

“can’t put me-down book”. It equals “Heaven’s Prey” and may even surpass

it. Can’t wait for the third “Redemption’s Edge” novel to be published.

Keep up the good work, Janet!”

“Janet Sketchley – this book sounds

like something I would love!”

“Almost finished Secrets & Lies.

It’s another “page turner” like Heaven’s Prey.”

“Secrets and Lies –

great cover for a great read.”

“It’s such a busy month, but I’m really

looking forward to getting back to “Secrets & Lies.”

“Janet

Sketchley, keep on doing what God’s calling you to do! Exciting things lie

ahead!”

“Janet, despite the darkness indicated in your title, I’m

confident that in “Secrets and Lies” you bring forth the light of truth and

the triumph of redemption.”

“Janet, You continue to inspire me! You

went for it and look at where you are now? 2 novels under your belt! Can’t

wait to see what God has in store…”

“I thoroughly enjoy reading

Janet Sketchley’s novels. I feel like I personally know the characters.

Best of luck Janet!”

 

About the author:

Janet Sketchley is the author of Heaven’s Prey and Secrets and

Lies, two novels of suspense and redemption (available as print and

ebooks). She also blogs about faith and books. Janet loves adventure

stories, worship music, tea and Formula 1 racing. Like Carol in Secrets and

Lies, she enjoys music and tea. Unlike Carol, Janet isn’t related to a

dangerous offender, has a happy home life, and has never been threatened by

a drug lord. May those tidbits continue to hold true!

Find Janet online.
