Return of the gods – Rabbi Jonathan Cahn

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

~ Is it possible that behind what is happening to America and the world lies a mystery hidden in the ancient inscriptions of the Middle East?

~ Is it possible that the gods of the ancient world have returned to our world?

~ Where is it all heading?

These, and so many more, are the questions that are answered in another great book by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn. As with each of his other books, his research is impeccable.

From the book: “A warning: The mystery revealed in this book will touch the sacred cows of our culture and age. It will broach that which is deemed unbroachable, speak that which is just as unspeakable, questions the unquestionable, and reveal that which has not yet been revealed. It will address the most radical and controversial issues of our time, the front lines of cultural upheaval, the catalytic forces that are now transforming society, civilization, history, and life as these have been known.”

Last Days Survival Guide

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

“God wants you prepared for these perilous times! The Holy Spirit warned that “perilous times” would come in the very last of the last days. We are in that time from now; so it is imperative that we know how to survive victoriously”

Last Days Survival Guide by Rick Renner is, in my opinion, a book written for such a time as this. Based on Second Timothy chapter Three, this 400+ page book is an “eye-opening survival guide for these last of the last days.

Using his remarkable command of the Holy Scriptures and the Greek language the author guides the reader, word by word, verse by verse through these prophetic verses. As the chapters unfold, you will understand why I say this book is written for such a time as this.

The author covers prophetic scriptures about the end times and how to prepare for them. Topics include; what does the word “perilous” mean and why is God alerting his children, what exact characteristics will mark society in the very last days, what actions to take to protect yourself and those you love, strategies to stop the devil from attacking you and your loved ones.

The Harbinger II

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

The Harbinger II Cover“Is the shaking that has come upon the world a sing, a judgment, or a warning of things to come? Discover the signs and manifestations that have appeared in America and the world up to this very moment– and what they reveal about the future.

Unlock the mysteries of the Gate, the Book of Days, the Image, the Judgment Tree, the children of the Ruins, the Shakings, the Plague, the Mystery Ship, the Western Terrace and much more. You will never see the world the same way again.”

I had the blessed opportunity to receive and review an advanced copy of “The Harbinger II” by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn. Once again, Rabbi Cahn does not disappoint. I am completely intrigued at the amount of detail he shares of events prophesied 1000’s of years ago, and that are now coming to fulfillment in America.

From the book: “What you are about to read will take the form of a story, but what is revealed in the story is real”. Understanding this, we once again find ourselves completely enthralled by the Prophet and his revealing of the Harbingers. You will not be able to put this book down once you begin reading it. I actually found myself doing a bit of research about specific dates, times, locations, names, etc. His research is impeccable and the story telling manner in which the book is presented draws you directly into the conversations almost as if you are sitting, or walking along with the characters.

If you have not read the first Harbinger book, please do… for your own benefit, though I do not think it is necessary to read this book as portions and highlights of the first Harbinger book are retold in The Harbinger II. This book is a must read!

OVERCOMER – A Book Review

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

“Life changes overnight for Coach John Harrison when his high school basketball team and state championship dreams are crushed under the weight of unexpected news. When the largest manufacturing plant shuts down and hundreds of families leave their town, John questions how he and his family will face an uncertain future. After reluctantly agreeing to coach cross-country, John and his wife, Amy, meet an aspiring athlete who’s pushing her limits on a journey toward discovery. Inspired by the words and prayers of a newfound friend, John becomes the least likely coach helping the least likely runner attempt the impossible in the biggest race of the year.”

 Overcomer by Chris Fabry

“What do you allow to define you?”

With the upcoming release of Overcomer – the movie – slated for later this month, I decided to read the book. Rarely does any book capture my attention like this one did. Even more rare does any book evoke an emotional response from me, as this one did.

It is difficult to write this review without spoilers, so I will only give my thoughts and impressions of the story and leave the reader to embrace the goodness and pursue their own journey of overcoming.

The Book is divided into 4 parts (The Coach, The Question, The Answer, and The Voice) that will take the reader through a year long journey of 4 distinct characters – John the Coach, Hannah Scott, Barbara Scott and T-Bone (aka Thomas Hill).  Through these rich and relatable characters, we are reminded that sometimes God’s plan for our life doesn’t always follow what we want for our life.

We are privileged to journey through this particular year as these characters come to terms with disappointment at the loss of what was, disillusionment of what is coming, apprehension and trepidation of our expectations of ourselves and our lives and the burdens we all carry, both real or self-imposed.

The Power of the Cross Unveiled

The Power of the Cross: One Man Sinned and All Men Died - Another Man Died So All Might LiveThe Power of the Cross: One Man Sinned and All Men Died – Another Man Died So All Might Live by James Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“The Catholic Church believes that when Adam sinned (Genesis chapter 3) his trespass caused a reign of death that ruled over all men. That view is correct (Romans 5:17). The Christian churches do not believe God would hold blameless men accountable Adam’s sin, therefore they do not believe Adam’s trespass caused death to reign over anyone. That is why the Christian churches refuse to teach that little babies must be baptized to take away Adam’s sin. That view is absolutely reasonable, true, and correct. How can both views be valid?” Continue reading →

Transforming Presence

Transforming Presence: How the Holy Spirit Changes Everything-From the Inside OutTransforming Presence: How the Holy Spirit Changes Everything-From the Inside Out by Daniel Henderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Why did Jesus say it would be better for Him to go? He said the coming of the Helper – the Holy Spirit – was that important. And that the Spirit who so powerfully turned bumbling disciples into unstoppable world changers is alive in us. But misunderstandings, confusion and contention are keeping us from the abundant, satisfying life God has for us in Him.”

Transforming Presence by Daniel Hendersonis an eye–opening book on the subject of Holy Spirit. The author reminds and teaches us that He is not just a “member” of the Trinity. He is God. “Because Holy Spirit is a person, He can be intimately known deeply loved, and clearly understood. Because He is God, we relate to Him in abandoned worship, unquestioned obedience and full surrender.” (Page 84) And as such we have the gift of the indwelling presence of Holy Spirit in each of us; our role is to let His presence invade not just our life and the life of our churches as well.
