Living Free in Enemy Territory: Christ's Triumph over Satan is an excellent title for this book written by Greg Dutcher. As the title implies this book is a guide to understanding who Satan is and how he can interrupt our walk with the Lord.
Using lots of scripture the author shows you how to center on the truths of Christ and not the lies of Satan. You will get a better understanding of who Satan is and the lies he tries to get us to believe. The best section of the book shows you how Satan takes things away from us even though he acts like he is giving us something. You are tempted to want to do something that seems so great and then once you do you lose some of your relationship with Christ. You lose instead of gaining. The author does at good job at explaining this principle and the many others presented here.
The questions at the end of the chapters were meaningful and not just thrown in as an afterthought. You look up verse that pertains to certain subjects. I loved all the scripture references! Many books are filled with just personal experiences but this author used mostly references or stories from the Bible.
Overall the book is good at helping you learn about Satan and how your attention needs to be centered on Christ. The book flows well, is easy to understand and written in a very straightforward style.

You will feel the Lord's love as you read and learn from this book
Embraced by God: Celebrating Who and Whose You Are, written by Babbie Mason, is the perfect book for any woman wanting to have a closer relationship with the Lord.
The book walks you through 21 days of learning about the Lord and how much He loves you. The author suggests finding a spot where you can be alone and feel comfortable singing or praying out loud. It is not necessary but it will help you speak out loud some of the promises and therefore better write them on your heart.
There were so many wonderful lessons to take away from this book. One of my favorites was learning to openly talk to the Lord. As the author puts it, He knows you better then anyone, even your closest family and best friends. Make sure you tell Him everything that is on your heart. He is the perfect One to tell as He loves you so much and wants to help guide you through any trial.
The Lord has a purpose for you and wants you to accept who you are in Him so He can guide your steps. The author not only teaches this lesson but also provides personal examples to help you better understand how the Lord works in our lives. We do have to be open to the Lord’s love or we can not grow closer to Him.
I found this book to be written in an open and loving style. If you or someone you know is a woman hurting and needing the love of the Lord, this book is perfect. You will feel His love from the many verses shared and more importantly, learn how to accept His love. An excellent book and a must read for all woman!

An in-depth study of the 10 Commandments
Eric Butterworth has written a book about the 10 Commandments that was released in the 1970’s. It has recently been re-released with its new title, Breaking the 10 Commandments: Discover the Deeper Meaning.
The overall concept of this book is to help you better understand how to apply the 10 Commandments, found in the Old Testament, to your life today. The book is divided into chapters based on the commandments. These chapters then take each commandment and explain its meaning when written and also how to apply them now.
All the information on applying the 10 Commandments to your life today was beneficial. You will better understand what it means to not have idols that take our attention away from the Lord. Along with other principles you will learn what it means to honor your parents. Each commandment is explained in such a way that you will have no problem applying it to your day to day life.
All the information on what the commandments meant to the Israelites was actually the best part. It was very interesting to learn what some of the original words meant. These commandments were written to benefit the Israelites and help guide their lives.
This is a very in-depth book. There is a lot of information to take in and try to understand. I found parts of it hard to comprehend but overall it was helpful. If you are looking for a fast read this is not your book, but if you are looking for an in-depth book on the 10 Commandments this is it!
