Highly Recommended For Everyone
The Seduction of Proverbs 7: Reloaded by Dr. Timothy O. is a powerful life-changing book giving keen insight from Proverbs 7 – The Warning Against the Adulterous Woman.
Some say ignorance is bliss. In fact, it is! This book will open your eyes to the wisdom available in following the instruction of Wisdom. For, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding,” (Proverbs 4:7 KJV).
Unveiling the secrecy of “Seduction,” – our culture is rife with promiscuity. Dr. Timothy O. offers insight into this dilemma presenting an understanding that seduction is dangerous and not following the wisdom of Proverbs 7 that leads many astray.
Well written and full of wisdom, his book sprang forth from a conversation with a fellow female Christian student, one who he respected and looked up to as an excellent student. Dr. Timothy O. went on a divine search for insight, led by God, and has written a book to share his findings, giving nuggets of wisdom to all no matter what race, sex, creed, or financial status – The author states that the Biblical laws regarding sexual activity have not changed. These laws are set forth by God and have consequences that are universal. But don’t despair! This in inspirational and a simple read into the taboo subject of sex beyond the boundaries of marriage that is thoughtfully written.
His book sheds light into an understanding of sexual temptation dynamics based upon the Bible, to include the moral and ethical bond of marriage. He refers to this as “wisdom for seduction,” stating, “This wisdom is hidden in one of the overlooked seduction stories of the Bible - Proverbs.”
If you have gone astray, had sex outside of marriage, he gives hope “repentance” and the seeking of godly wisdom. The author is honest, upfront, and candid in this matter of sex and promiscuity. The author does not compromise, yet lovingly offers readers the honest truth in a simple form, as he dissects each section of the Proverb. This aids in great understanding of what the Scripture is speaking and teaching.
For readers that don’t already know about the book of Proverbs, it is a book on wisdom for life. Proverbs 7 is written for a reason. The outcome is trembling and fearful – not following God’s ways will only lead one to death. It’s that simple. The author spurs the readers to understand this wisdom from the Bible. And yes, Proverbs 7 may be ancient, yet the rules haven’t changed – they apply to all across the globe and the principles of the Bible have stood the test of time and these laws that govern spiritual and physical matter are unwavering no matter your ethnicity, family background or your bank account. The warning is the same
The Seduction of Proverbs 7: Reloaded is available at Amazon, in Kindle and at other fine online bookstores. To find out more about the author and his books visit Wisdom Stuff.

The Mindruler
Steve Pillinger
The Mindrulers is an award-winning 3-book series by Steve Pillinger, a multi-published author, Bible translator, history buff, and linguist.
In Book 1 of this epic Christian suspense saga (The Mindruler), lives collide in a grand battle taking place on another world.
A student, a lecturer, a web designer and a retired teacher are forever changed when they find themselves in an unknown reality. In this alien place they are drawn into a deadly battle against the evil Mindruler and his minions.
These overlords control people’s thoughts, thereby governing their every move and making them slaves through this ultimate invasion of people’s psyche and self-will. Freedom is at stake and reality will be forever altered if the Mindrulers succeed.
Imagine waking up and finding yourself in another reality, another paradigm, one you don’t know how to escape from! Fantastically written, the book unfolds the characters’ daily lives, carefully developing each of them in a way that draws readers in and keeps them on edge, glued to the page, wondering what happens next, as these four individuals discover the strange and confusing new reality of an alien world.
Long-awaited prophecy is being fulfilled in them, though they struggle to believe this at first. But gradually they discover that mindbending is real, and find themselves embroiled in medieval battles with swords and armor. Yet victory awaits them as they learn to rely on One whose power is greater than the Mindruler, despite his use of a nation’s resources together with spiritual and mental oppression to achieve his goals.
Guided by a brilliant writer, one will find oneself engaged along with the characters in this epic conflict on a faraway world that holds deep, dark secrets. Reluctantly to begin with, these very ordinary people from Earth learn to accept their role as “Restorers of the Way”; and as they travel from crisis to crisis, they begin to grow into the true Restorers they are intended to be.
But they soon realize that the weapons of their warfare are not those one would normally expect. Special ‘instruments’ help them with their task, and they discover that the only way out is to go through! The author has included wonderful maps to illustrate the journeys that make up this grand adventure.
This is a well thought-out and fantastically creative book, surely a movie in the making! It awakens fantasy and portrays the age-old dragon’s attempts to steal, kill and destroy. Christians understand that this spiritual battle is real: the author has presented a breathtaking and harrowing look inside prevalent evil, and created a masterpiece of fiction that takes readers to an imaginary world that is both similar and unique, like and yet unlike our own world.
Highly recommended for young men and women who love Christian fantasy fiction and adventure within a truly epic and heroic saga, intertwining spiritual battles of good versus evil.

You Can Break Free
As a personal forgiveness journey, the author brings clarity to the definitions of forgiveness and presents solutions that are not just some formula or ethereal theory. His combined efforts in creating this journey into the language of deep forgiveness brings freedom by combining Biblical and clinical approaches to resolve what the heart and mind consider to be unacceptable. This is an amazing book that connects the dots with heart attitudes and mindsets within a Biblical, clinical, and psychological context utilizing the power of brain science.
Using a multi-dimensional approach, the author introduces four basic perspectives that are visually and mentally stimulating. Four views are presented, similar to looking at four sides of a cube, highlighting the steps to reconciliation in your own heart while addressing issues of long-term, perhaps even repetitive injuries that one has not been able to resolve in their own mind and heart. Three deep concepts are explored in the exercises: language (to define and speak), two core pillars of forgiveness, and the Acceptance Conundrum. He clearly communicates both what forgiveness is and what forgiveness is not.
His goal is for your own heart and mind to come to a place of peace towards the person that hurt you. The author states that many try to forgive but old feelings and thoughts keep popping up. This book presents an interactive way to overcome these negative thought patterns while being able to release the perpetrator. He speaks of addressing resistance, restitution and retribution as heart attitudes that need to be changed. Hence, the author helps one understand their own heart and enables them with the tools to bring a genuine, emotional response that brings relief and resolution to long-time inner conflicts without having to personally address the other person verbally. In turn, this can bring inner peace and bring inner conflict to an end.
This is a wonderful book that individuals can use if they have been unsuccessful in the past with forgiving someone. This book comes highly recommended for anyone struggling to be set free from the never-ending cycle of offense that holds one captive. Pastors and counselors will want to grab hold of this book to enable their church members / clients to learn to speak deep forgiveness from their hearts to others.
This is a must-read for all the offenses, hurts, and wounding that will come in life; deep forgiveness is the only answer. This book will give one the knowledge and power to be set free from unforgiveness and deep wounds.

The Blessings of Trusting In God
A Highly Recommended Must Read - Christian Author Matthew F. Terry reveals a faith journey into the unknown. His decision to follow God’s will, and not his own, brings travelling to China to be an English Teacher.
The author's story is one of great courage and faith as He finds God and follows God in his weakness. Beginning with an unveiling of the misery in trying to stay in a lifeless job that he could not stand anymore – corporate America, based in Chicago, as he describes it was a job he could not stand. In the midst of despair of endless resumes and job searches after being laid off in 2011, his journey begins as he chronicles the prayers and the answered prayers. A CBM Christian Book Review ~ 10.0 out of 10.0 stars
Matthew displays that trusting God was not easy, and some answers came in amazing ways, certainly not the way the author thought that God would answer. Some of the answers were incredibly simple. As it turns out, God can be practical as well as full of wisdom.
Born out of the author’s weakness comes a great testimony to the scripture verse in Corinthians 9:10: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Matthew Terry reveals his trusting God despite all the weakness in the form of job security, travelling to a foreign country, and a medical emergency with his beloved wife.
Beginning with short segways into his venture from moving from seeking trust in the world, losing jobs, job searches, to complete disgust in online searches – each section is short and sweet chronicling almost a year of finally coming to the boiling point. Some entries are rather candid and some humorous as he describes what its like to be looking and searching for a job in the midst of the bottom of the sea with all the other “out of work” colleagues. You can visibly see the downshift in the work-place and he describes the tension level on all 10 floors of his building. Again, direct and concise, these entries create a timeline of his desperation, his prayers and answers to God and how God answered.
Five sections describe his travels from his shift from self-reliance to finding life in weakness and fully trusting in God. Scripture verses speak of each section along with some pictures, as answers, prayers and encouragement for his path to be revealed as God speaks to His heart and leads him make for an invigorating read, sidelined with humorous side notes. In the end, you will find the author has been brought full circle and be inspired to follow God on your own journey into the brave unknown as you begin asking and following His will.
Humbling and insightful, this is a wonderfully touching and uplifting testimony of someone saying, “I’m all in; let’s go.” His thankfulness and enthusiasm ushers in a love for others and adventure. He reveals different aspects in China, some that tug at your heart like the children and the orphans. This book is breathtaking and refreshing!
Certainly, you will read this book with a smile inside seeing the goodness of God lead, protect and bless this man in his future endeavors. And certainly, God has the same for readers. This book is unique in the way it is written with short entries, the blending of a timeline, scriptures and faith, and leads others to discovering God’s will for their lives.

Giving the definitions of child sexual abuse (CSA) and the staggering statistics in our nation, coupled with the abuse worldwide – the abuse of children is unprecedented.
Our day and age is raging with this sin against the most innocent of beings – children. Abuse comes in many forms and can be quite insidious, thus the author’s efforts focus on sexual abuse. She also gives insight into the psychiatric dynamics of a sexual predator or offender. Her book is well-rounded and an overview on the subject of CSA that gives knowledge, help and guidance as a manual for prevention and protection against such crimes.

With a section on educating your child on this subject, this book takes all the pieces of a giant puzzle, and even sheds light on the judicial system in relation to this issue. With different stages of age, such as birth to toddler, toddler to five, six to twelve, and twelve to eighteen, the author has broken down the different stages of growth, exposing the different levels of opportunity that sexual predators may use against a child at these ages, along with age appropriate environments and care providers.

New Release - My Body Belongs to God and Me
This is a wonderful truth in God’s Word, as she begins the book by the definition of what an overcomer is. Opening children’s eyes to the truth of God’s purpose and plans for them, she goes on to describe God’s gift of free will.
Describing Good Touch and Bad Touch; she elaborates on these two and what that can encompass. There are Good Touch people and Bad Touch people. Her book gives hope to children who have or have not experienced abuse by speaking the truth of God’s love and care for their body. She also teaches children how to prevent abuse by giving them the tools to know the difference between a healthy relationship and unhealthy relationships.
Writing from a Biblical perspective, yet incredibly gentle and simple, Reina Davison gives hope and guidance that exposes the darkness and sin of the enemy lurking in our lives. These people are unsafe and “No Touch” people as Reina explains. Her premise teaches children the principle of becoming “Overcomers” in Christ Jesus. This is a fantastic book that teaches wonderful and enlightening spiritual truths to children. (Note: This book just may encourage adults as well; teaching them that they are overcomers!) I personally enjoyed the uplifting truths to her book and thought…I wish I had a book such as this when I was a child. You will be delighted by this book as well.
As a guidebook, this book teaches parents, caregivers, family members, etc., to understand what safe behavior is in and out of the home. Her Body Safety guide in the back provides a checklist for adults to adhere to in protecting children. With beautiful illustrations, the author sheds light on walking in the truth of God’s Word, while giving them instruction of their enemy (the devil), the Bible, and Jesus, offering hope and encouragement to look to Jesus as their help and Savior. Her book shows that God has a good plan for them and cares for them. She shares that they are Overcomers and can defeat the enemy (the devil) and that because of Jesus, they too can choose to be of Good Cheer (be happy).
This book comes highly recommended for all children who need to be taught encouraging truths about God’s Word, and especially is a tool to be used by parents, counselors, pastors, child psychologists, medical personnel, and lay persons to teach about healthy sexual boundaries.
To tell you the truth, this is one of those books parents should utilize in teaching their children about bad people that sin and touch inappropriately. She has given a list of resources in the back of the book, and is an advocate of ending child sexual abuse. Written with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity to children’s pure intellects, this book does a wonderful job in tackling a difficult subject.
Thank you, Reina Davison, for your work to protect the vulnerable children of the world! ~ CBM Christian Book Reviews.
