Apocalyptic Tremors Review (BookLook Bloggers)

Disclaimer: I received this in exchange for honest review from BookLook Bloggers.



I read Apocalyptic Tremors in exchange for honest review. The book was written by C.R. Chapman. The book helps people study the Book of Revelations in the bible.  I have read the Book of Revelations before and it is a scary, yet beautiful chapter. From the Earth's last days, to a description of Satan, and a description of Heaven, Revelation is an interesting chapter to read. Revelations contains symbolism as well.

God provided John a great vision of what is to come, but Revelations can be a hard chapter to read. Things, which have confused me is the 144,000 people, who will be raptured. When I first read the book, I thought this was all the people going to Heaven and the millions of other people in the world was doomed to Hell.

I also was confused about the first and second rapture, but I do love how people can still get saved during tribulation. The author did provide a chapter about tribulation. Chapman discussed how tribulation can be a time of joy, a time of testing, a time of punishment, and a time of persecution. Christians will be tested and killed for their beliefs during tribulation. I hope there is not too many plenty of Peter moments during this time (denying God). The author also said tribulation can be a time of deliverance from hell to eternal life.

I admit parts of the book was hard to understand, no matter how many times I read parts over again. This book and the book of Revelations is meant to be read slow for understanding.

I do like the diagram, which explains Revelations seals, trumpets and bowls. The author provides plenty of charts to help explain Revelations.

I received None Like Him, in exchange for honest review from FlyBy Blog Promotions. I received a paperback book. The book was written by Jen Wilkin

About the Book: From Media Kit

God is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscent but we are not, which is good. We are limited by design and not meant to be God. The root of every sin is our rebellious desire to possess skills, which belong to God and only God. The author wants us to embrace our limits to glorify God limitless power.

My Review:

So basically, we are not God and should not try to be God. Satan learned this lesson in a big way. He wanted to be God and fell from Heaven and brought down a few angels with him.

One thing, which stood out was fearing the Lord, which I have misunderstood many times in 36 years. The author had said God is a father, who is merciful. God should be exalted. God is also approachable, yet he punishes us like an earthly father, when we do wrong. The author said when we fear God, "we recognize him fo who he truly is: a God of no limits...." The author said when we forget who God is, we can fill the gap (the need) for God with other things. We start worshipping the wrong things, instead of God. For example, I used to fill emptiness with sex years ago.  Sometimes food or liquor helps hide a void, God needs to fill instead of eartly things.

About the Book

If God is love, why do we hurt so much?

When the reality of your pain doesn't line up with what you've been taught in church, then what?

While many abandon their faith or embrace hopelessness, it is possible to discover the God who heals your heart in the midst of the pain.

Matt Bays has been where you are. His unforgettable stories of loss and healing will usher you into a life where gratitude overpowers anger, hope overcomes despair, and hunger for God replaces indifference to God. With a fresh and original writing style, Bays demonstrates that true redemption is far more powerful than the temporary fixes of sanitized Christianity.

About the Author

Matt Bays is a writer, speaker, and musician with a passion to call people out of their hiding places. In ministry for twenty years, he and his wife, Heather, live in Indianapolis with their fun-loving and insightful teenage daughters.

My Review

I read Finding God in the Ruins in exchange for honest review. The book was written by Matt Bays. The book is about finding God, even when your life is a mess. I know my life is a mess. I spend days trying to diffuse multiple meltdowns from one kid, while making sure the other kid doesn't have a seizure or a breath holding spell.

The first thing, which stood out, was when the author discussed redemption. The author said redemption has been misunderstood by Christianity. The book defined redemption (from a Christianity standpoint) as "A state of existence where The Faithful to God receive what they expect to receive out of life (and out of God), and what ails them is converted into something fresh and new (Getting the desires of one's heart)."

The author said approaching redemption from this standpoint sets us up for failure. It affects our relationship with God because we may want redemption to get what we want from God, instead of developing a stronger relationship with God. The author also discussed how some people think God owes them for good works/good behavior because we are chosen by God. When God doesn't do what we want, we get frustrated and disillusioned by God and Christianity. Things do not always go according to our plan.

My Review

I read Synced by Jennifer Kennedy Dean,  in exchange for honest review from Litfuse. The book teaches us how to sync into Jesus just like he was to his father. Jesus's focus was on fulfilling the father's will. He didn't do anything, which took away from his purpose. Jesuss "made a choice to surrender", even at the cross.

The book said man has natural desires in our heart, but we should still submit to the will of the father. One way Jesus stayed synced to the Father was in prayer. Jesus prayed alone and he prayed in public. He welcomed others to pray with him, even during his final moments. Jesus also taught others how to pray. Jesus lived a prayerful life. He didn't pray only during the bad times or when it was convenient. The author provides some good information about how to pray and how to live a praying life.

Next, Jesus was also obedient without any hesistation. There has been plenty of times, where I strugged to be obedient. The flesh won over the spirit many times and I regreted it.

The book was an excellent read.
