MAYBE TODAY
by David Butler and Emily Belle Freeman

Maybe today the sun came up just like it always does, and you rolled out of bed just like you always do, and you knew it was going to be one of those days.

But maybe today could be different. What does your soul need? What do you long for? This path that you are on, where is it taking you? How do you fill your unscheduled moments? Is your heart content? Perhaps you feel as if you are missing something.

If you want life to satisfy your soul, you have to start living the soul-satisfying life.

~~ MAYBE TODAY ~~
In those first moments, or the last moments,
or somewhere in the moments in between,
you will live these 5 holy patterns:

* Tilt Your Soul
* Let Down Your Bucket
* Tune Your Heart
* Take Off Your Shoes
* Be All In

Excerpt Pages



My Review
This book is beautifully put together as you can see!
Powerful messages along with alluring pictures adorn this book!

I LOVE the 5 principles the authors chose to focus on-- while they are not new I was captured with the intriguing way they were presented-- a way that helps you understand more of what it is that will truly bring you lasting joy.

Some I already live by, and some I need to work on...

But as the back of the blurb says: "He knows your heart ~ Live your life so you can come to know HIS."

This book can help you do just that!

A PERFECT GIFT-BOOK, or BOOK CLUB BOOK, or just a book to STUDY ON YOUR OWN. These principles have the power to change lives :)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS ONE!

Book Details

I LOVE the sub-title~

an illustrated guide to the people in the Book of Mormon

And that is EXACTLY what the AMAZING book is!

As you open the book you get this incredible two-page spread on 52 people(s) from ancient times.


You will read a short synopsis and learn fascinating details.

There is also a short lesson, scriptures, a question to ponder and an activity for each...

...giving you "52 family night" subjects to study.


Bold colors and fun icons keep the attention of young and old alike.

You will learn the lesson from Nephi of being obedient...

Can you go one week without murmuring like Laman and Lemuel?

What can you learn from King Noah or King Lamoni?

Do you know who the Anti-Nephi-Lehies were or Korihor?



Grab this book and gather your family around for some interesting weeks ahead.
You will be SO GLAD you did!

The Peter Potential

Book Details
Authors: David Butler and Emily Belle Freeman
Release Date: July 2014
Publisher: Ensign Peak
Genre: Inspiration

This book is PHENOMENAL!
BEAUTIFULLY illustrated!
LIFE CHANGING!


We all know about Peter from the bible...
We know he was a follower of Christ...
We know he walked on the water...


"But this book is not just about Peter..."

"THE LORD SEES GREATNESS IN YOU"

You too have "Peter Potential!"


HOW?

In this book you will learn what made Peter go from being a "simple fisherman-- to being "a fisher of men, a leader among men, the one who held the keys of the kingdom."

Peter was given "a simple invitation to THRUST OUT A LITTLE from the land."

Does the Lord ask you to THRUST OUT A LITTLE?

Peter listened and obeyed...do we?

Next Peter was told to "LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP"

Was it CONVENIENT?

Yet Peter listened and obeyed and "the boats were sinking with blessings and the nets were breaking with goodness."

Sometimes the Lords wants us "to reach into the depths of our souls."

Read to find out what else the Lord asked of Peter and how it compares to what the Lord is asking of us today~

"WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU ACCEPTED AN INVITATION FROM THE LORD?"
