Book Review: Holy Spirit Anointing: Your Weapon to Walk in Victory by Cheri Swalwell

  



 


Holy Spirit Anointing: Your Weapon to Walk in Victory by Cheri Swalwell 
Love this story because growing up Catholic and then attending Catholic schools we were taught about the Holy Ghost, God and Jesus. Never knoew how others saw it as Uncle Clyde.  When I hear the word ghost I usually see it as an alien. When I know it's about religion I do not see it as an alien but a most treasured high God status.
Love the stories how the author put herself out there and tells you how she overcame so much and still fighting the good battle of her other fears. So very personal and touching, emotional and hits home with me.
Love how she reaches out to others who are very close to her to prayer with her as she is there for them as well. 
So many struggles and sadness at times but she continues on to realize her fears and weaknesses and prays about how to overcome them and she has!
Read a different book tonight and it talked how the man had dropped to the floor and he had his father and dead brother speaking to him, like the Holy Ghost. Couldn't believe it said that exactly in the book. so cool to have this connection while reading, to know he's always there for you. And now I know so much more about the Holy Ghost when I pray that I never knew before. Something just so simple.
Can't wait to read more from this author, she gets right to the point, in easy fashion and style.


 

Book Review: The Diner by Joanne DeMaio

   







The Diner by Joanne DeMaio 
In this story we find Shane and he's back to Maine for work. He hates the pull of Stony Point, CT and what's there for him.
He gets some surprises when he returns for the day and then the phone call about the CT group. People almost died and he wasn't there to help them.
Back at Stony Point Jason walks into the diner after hours and finds a robber holding a gun to Kyle's face. He takes matters into his own hands stating the rest of the guys will be there soon to play cards. 
They are able to escape harm but it eats at their brains the whole week and then some.
Love how they find solace in others and how they are able to just let it all go.
So emotional and touching as things are happening. Jason has an out of body experience and he can't explain it to anybody but Shane.
Love how the group will be celebrating in the next book.
Love the beach scene and all that comes with it Love catching up with the others and Cliff's son is new to the series. Lots of mysteries, secrets and there's a lot more to come.
Love this series and can't wait to read more.
