Junt Hunt's Procrastination the decay of delay

Procrastination once ruled my life. Today though I have almost mastered it in my professional life; housework is still an issue for me. The catchy subtitle, “the decay of delay” is really profound.  June Hunt has packed a great amount of information and helpful scriptures into this pamphlet. As a bible study teacher of women I am always glad to review Hunt’s material for Rose Publishing. June Hunt uses God’s Word to supply comforting words of wisdom, parables such as the wise steward, and even Jesus’ own messages to His disciples. The author carefully outlines the characteristics of five unintentional procrastinators and offered them redemption through the Bible to promote God’s perspective of their personal value through Christ. Mrs. Hunt walks us through the plan of salvation and how to pray for God’s help to squash the negative talk that paralyzes people. She encourages them to memorize scriptures and wait on God to promote healing and provide encouragement. I was given this pamphlet free from Rose Publishing for my unbiased review.

Ruth A Triumph of Legacy and Love.

Ruth Pamphlet
Beyond the love story between Ruth and Boaz, the hesed of God is demonstrated.  This Hebrew word is used repeatedly in this pamphlet to represent God’s loving kindness to his people. Naomi knows the law of her God requires fellow Israelites to protect and care for widows, orphans, and foreigners. Ruth, a Moabite, is taking quite a risk to travel with her mother-in-law to Bethlehem. Ruth gleans in Boaz's field, a man of standing and worthy character. He provides not only wheat for Ruth and Naomi to eat, but protection as well. As a widow and a foreigner Ruth is below the social status of Boaz’s servants, yet he shows her favor by giving her 10 times the amount of wheat as others and invites her to eat at his table. At the urging of Naomi, Ruth approaches Boaz as he sleeps and asks for a corner of his garment. A risky move but one evidently sanctioned by God as it leads to marriage for Ruth and Boaz. Inserts of contrasting text highlight information on Jewish traditions, vocabulary, and social customs concerning the Levirate Marriage and Guardian Redeemer.  Cross referencing scripture shows God’s providential care in the lineage of the Messiah. The PDF was given to me by Rose Publishing for my unbiased review.

The Rose Book of Charts 10 year Anniversary Edition

Rose Book Of Bible Charts, Maps And Time Lines Volume 1 - 10th Anniversary EditionThe Book of Charts 10 year anniversary edition is a treasure trove of information. This new book has brighter illustrations on many topics. Each book of the Bible has a bookmark sized summary with 5 W’s I use to teach.  The Garden of Eden, Noah’s Ark and the Exodus journey will delight and capture the interest of young readers.  “How We Got the Bible” have wonderful condensed chunks of information from papyrus to the Dead Sea Scrolls. The foldout timelines and information about the Tabernacle is so complete. This edition is like many different books all rolled in one convenient PDF file. There is a permission to make copies for students. There are many pages I would like to print for my Bible Study on Revelation: Biblical scriptures on heaven and hell, views on the Tribulation, a Glossary of End Time Words. There are a crazy number of pages of Christianity, cults, and religions comparing differences in beliefs on death, prayers, and how they receive salvation, their writings, founders, and sacraments. I enjoy the PDF that was given to me by Rose Publishing to review this 10 the Anniversary Edition.

Holy Land Key Ray Bentley

The Holy Land Key: Unlocking End-Times Prophecy Through the Lives of God's People in Israel
Since I teach a women's bible study and was beginning Revelation, I thought this book would be a good resource. It was very elementary and basically told bible stories through the Old Testament. Basically a waste of my time since I teach courses for 30 weeks in-depth bible study. I had to stop reading when the author compare the biblical feasts to the zodiac. Any bible scholar knows the Bible rejects astrology and witchcraft. Very disappointed. I received this book from Blogging for Books for my honest opinion.
