Book review for Fierce Beauty


Being a woman who does not have a large confidence level, I was nervous about reading this book. I thought, well another book to tell me I just have a pretty face and inward beauty is what matters not outward.
Kim Meedor changed my whole outlook on life and how I look at myself! I was amazed! One statement in her book says, "True beauty is not about how you look, but how you live." WOW! That is so true! It is so easy to let the world decide for us how we feel and have self doubt! She makes real life connections with hard truths! This book is a  must read! It changed my life! .

Book Review for Shot of Faith

Wow! What an eye opener. This book reminded me so much of why i believe in God. It is an encouragement when I need to share the Word with Atheists or other religions for that matter. I read this review and felt the exact same way!!

The book is an examination of philosophical arguments for and against the existence of God. It attempts to equip the christian with some cogent, logical arguments both to bolster their own faith and to use against those who attempt to discredit their belief. Each chapter ends with a summary listing several points that the christian can use in defense of his faith.
I thought this book to be an interesting read. A number of the arguments used in the book were new to me. I believe that the author goes a long way to help the average christian who enounters skepticism or even antagonism towards their beliefs. I believe it would profit many if they would take the time to work through the book and apply it.
I must add one note to the above, however: arguments are just that-arguments, and in the end only the work of the Holy Spirit upon a person's heart can really bring about true conversion. " "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them."-John 6:44(NIV).
