Wanting a Christian Non-Fiction that touches on the Kingdom of God ?

Lucky: How the Kingdom Comes to Unlikely People
Review: Lucky - Glenn Packiam - March 2011
Do you think that the Kingdom of God is too worthy of you ? Now with Lucky by Glenn Packiam , we can change your thinking as it discusses how the Kingdom can come to the most unlikeliest people.
When you think of who is going to go into Heaven with God ? Which ones springs to mind - is it the ones that make it successful in the world, the rich and the famous or the ones that sit there and read the bible continual and go to church every Sunday and sign up to join the prayer, community groups etc.
Jesus has opened the way to heavens for those who are poor , hungry, weak and persecuted , these are the ones that in God's eyes are the lucky few who will have access to the Kingdom of heaven with all it's wonderful fruit of the spirits - filled with joy, compassion, love , faithfulness.
The Book Lucky is based on Christ's Beatitudes that was written in the Gospel of Luke.
One thing , that I always enjoy with Christian Non-Fiction books is that at the end of each chapter , they include a list of discussion questions.
Overall, In "Lucky" by Glenn Packiam " he aims to challenge the blessings that come to us from Christ , to re-discover the call on our lives -the one that God has put there to go forth and preach to thy nations about his words and to remind us that no matter who we are, what our situations have been like - by asking God into your heart , all your sins have been wiped clean and that when you die , their is a seat waiting for you in Heaven.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
