Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary

I have use several Bible dictionary’s over the years and this is easily the one I have liked the most. The Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary does an exceptional job of not only filling the basic requirements of a Bible dictionary it goes beyond that with the photos and timelines that are included in this edition. So often as we read scripture we disconnect it from the rest of the worlds history. The very detailed time lines within this Bible dictionary track the events of scripture well but they also show the reader what was happening in the world outside of the Holy Land. The updated photos also add to the overall experience of the reader as well. This is an excellent reference book to have on your shelf.

Beloved Dust

In Exodus 14:14 scripture says, “the Lord will fight for you, you only need to be still.” I was reminded of this time and time again as I read through “Beloved Dust”. I like many have found them selves in a bit of a spiritual rut when it comes to my relationship with God. Checking boxes and filling out “time” cards becomes the norm to often. This book does a good job of reminding us (me) of the relationship between God and I. Mainly that He is God and I am, well, not. If you find your self in a rut or just searching to reclaim your Identity in Him this book is a great read. Theologically sound and practically presented Beloved Dust is just what every Christian needs to remember that there are times when we don’t have to do anything but be still.
