The Next Great Move of God – Book Review & Giveaway

November 30, 2010 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

The Next Great Move of God: Christians Returning to Their Hebraic Roots

The Next Great Move of God – Christians Returning to Their Hebraic Roots

by Dr. LaSalle R. Vaughn
ISBN 978-1-935265-05-4
VMI PUblishers 2009
$13.99

I have been learning more about the Biblical Feasts for a couple of years now. So when I was offered this book to review, I thought it would be a good book for me to read.

From the back cover:


Find the key to godly success in faith, family, finances and fellowship with Him. Most Christians have understood the topic of salvation, but have never contemplated the Jewishness of Jesus. Understanding the culture in which Jesus lived will help you properly interpret the Bible. The Next Great Move of God: Christians Returning to Their Hebraic Roots will open your eyes to the Jewish world of Jesus. This profound book reveals that the Christian life is much more than salvation; it’s a lifestyle of obedience to the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

I had not heard of Dr. Vaughn before, so I was quite interested in reading his writings. I was not disappointed.

Dr. Vaughn explains what a covenant is, and how as Christians we are grafted into the Abrahamic covenant. In the Bible, Jesus celebrated all the Biblical Feasts, including Chanukah, the Festival of Dedication, (in John Chapter 10)  Did you know that the early Christians celebrated all the Biblical Feasts days? In fact, the first century church clearly identified with Judaism. The church was not separated from it’s Jewish roots until Constantine the Great converted to Christianity near  AD 325.

With chapters such as Restoring the Hebraic Roots of Our Faith,  Symbols of Our Faith,  Keys to the Heart of the Kingdom, and America is a Judeo-Christian Nation you will learn more about your faith, and how to apply it more fully to your daily life, and your prayer life.

This book also has a glossary, as well as a complete list of works cited. I found both to be helpful.

This book verified what I had already learned about our Hebraic roots, and I also learned a lot. I love how the author tells us the Hebrew word used, and the meaning. I want a book like this to help me dig deeper into the subject, and Dr. Vaughn  accomplished this for me.

I highly recommend this book to all Christians. If you haven’t learned about your Hebraic roots yet, this book is a great place to start.  And if you, like me, have already started to learn, this book will be a vary helpful continuation of your study.

Bringing Up Bobby – Review & DVD Giveaway

October 29, 2010 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

When 20-something filmmaking brothers Chris and Nick Staron were
told it’s impossible to make a Christian comedy, they laughed … and then got to work.
Bringing Up Bobby is the result, and the madcap antics of the entire Wyler family
will convince you that the Staron Bros. have created comedic dynamite!

Destined to be a favorite of families and youth groups, Bringing Up Bobby is a
quirky exploration of what it means to live out your faith … and to find humor in
whatever comes your way!

Bringing Up Bobby is “A Different Kind of Comedy About Being Kind of Different”.

In Bringing Up Bobby, Bobby is the soon to be 16 year old whose parents died when he was very young. His older brother has raised him, as well as another brother and sister.

The parents will is scheduled to be read on Bobby’s 16th birthday, so his other 2 siblings show up to see what they will get. One brother finds a hidden stash of money in the attic. Can he keep the others from finding out?

There are several scenes around the “War Table”. The war table is where this family shares how they really think and feel. Shouldn’t every family have a war table?

Our whole family enjoyed this movie. It is a very funny movie. At the same time, it is a very heart warming movie.

Bring Up Bobby reminds us that when life gets messy, you can still laugh…and look to God for direction.

Bringing Up Bobby is a movie the whole family can watch together, and be reminded about what is really important in life. Faith, family and friends.

Upside – Review & DVD Giveaway

October 29, 2010 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

BUB Profile

It’s all how you look at it From the looks of things, Solomon White
has a well-mapped future. Finish his senior year of high school, select an elite
university, continue his lacrosse career, and reap the rewards of success on
whichever road life takes him.

But a devastating hit on the lacrosse field leaves his world literally turned
upside down. Will he be able to gain the perspective needed to face his new reality?

We loved this movie! From the youngest to the oldest we all enjoyed watching this movie together.

What would you do if your whole world was turned upside down? Literally upside down? Would you completely fall apart, or would you have the faith to keep going. To keep walking with God and doing His will?

That’s what Soli had to decided. Should he let his world completely fall apart because of his injury? Or should he follow God?

The same decision many of us have to make on a daily basis.

Our favorite scene was in the graveyard, when they were letting the blind women drive a car.

“Watch the tree!” “I can’t watch the tree!!”

“How did I do?” “We’re not dead.”

We were literally rolling around laughing the scene is that funny!

There is one college party scene, where Soli is led into the party, not knowing he was going to a party, as he was just visiting the campus. When he realized where he was, he quickly left. Definitely a good message for our teens.

If your looking for a great movie for your family to watch, you should check out Upside. My whole family loved it.
