Twelve Unlikely Heroes, by John MacArthur

This book really touched my heart and opened my eyes. Because it's just a G-R-E-A-T book!
If you're serving God with all your heart (and despite your heart at the same time) and somehow you feel like an 'unlikely and unfitted servant' this book will hit you right between the eyes.
Believe me!
MacArthur goes through all the Bible, founding the most unlikely heroes of the text to teach the reader the reality of God's work: If He wouldn't use the 'imperfect servants' then He couldn't use anybody!
And that is why I'm certain that you will identify with at least one of the heroes and by doing that, God will speak to your heart, comfort your soul and make you want to serve Him again.
That's what happened to me and because of that, I really wanted to share here a couple of paragraphs of the book (even I don't know if I can do it):

'God uses endless combinations of personality, cultural background, experience, and station in society to accomplish His will. He is not limited by age (Enoch lived for 365 years; John the Baptist for about 30); status (Jonathan was a prince; Onesimus was a slave); human strength (Gideon was a weak coward; Samson was supernaturally strong); or even past sins (Paul persecuted the church; John Mark was a deserter; and Jonah rebelled against God's command). (...) From the earliest points of human history (before de Flood) to the earliest points of church history (the generation after the apostles), God has been at work in the lives of His people through unlikely heroes.'

An imperfect and true servant of the Lord Jesus Christ can not afford not reading this book.
Now... Go and read!

Constantly Cravin, by Marilyn Meberg

I didn't like this book. Seriously.
I think that 'Constantly Craving' is suit for those 'mature adolescent' that are so abundant in these days (at least in my country).
And who are the 'mature adolescent'? Well, people around their 30's who still don't know who they are, what they want, are still looking for 'the one' (the dumbest term in the history of relationships) and stuff like that.
Anyway, for me, the book killed my reading craving.

Jesus. Lord. Period.

"Would the coming of Jesus Christ tomorrow mess up your plans?"
The Truth About the Lordship of Christ, by John MacArthur is a troubling and eye popping book.
It is like salt spread over an open wound because, well, the one thing that we christians love to talk about but don't love to take to practice is the Lordship of Jesus.
We forget that the term 'Lord' doesn't accept negotiation nor unions. It doesn't take under consideration the slave's own will. And it certainly doesn't take 'I don't feel like doing that' or 'I don't have time for that right now' for an answer.
Justification is a one-time event but sanctification is a process and we can't be sanctify unless we put ourselves under the Lordship of Christ because we won't let the lord work the transformation intended for us if it is not 'part of our plans'.
This book hits hard the comfortable 'christianity' of this day and age and make the reader remember something: Jesus said 'follow me' and he wasn't asking; he was commanding.
