June's Best Books

June is over, and July is here! So, here are the best books I read last month- The Moving Feast by Allan Nation, and God Has A Wonderful Plan for Your Life: The Myth of the Modern Message by Ray Comfort.

The first I mentioned, The Moving Feast, is the story of how our culture in South Mississippi (where I live right now, and have for all my life) has been impacted over the centuries, predominantly by the American Indians, Scots, Irish, and Africans. It was very interesting, as over the years I've wondered why we eat and do certain things, like frying everything! :) Not a perfect book, yet very informative!

Ray Comfort's book, The Myth of the Modern Message was amazing! It caused me to reconsider much of my worldview and mindset, particularly where evangelism and Salvation are concerned. I would highly recommend it to everyone!! Easy to read (it was only 124 pages), it shared a little bit of similarity with Already Gone, Ken Ham's book, yet he used the statistics in a different way- to show that our evangelism is not only failing, its harmful! Even better, the book was FREE!!

Have a wonderful day, and God Bless!

My Favorite Hymn

Okay, I wanted to start this post with a question:

What's your Favorite Hymn?

If you are anything like me, that can be a tough question! There are so many hymns that contain wonderful doctrinal truths, and personally, I just like hymns!

But there is one hymn I love more than all the rest. It speaks so well the words in my heart. And it is...

Be Thou My Vision

In case some of you've never heard the hymn before, it's an Ancient Irish hymn, with a beautiful Irish tune, and here are the words-

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart-
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art;
Thou my best thought, by day or by night-
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word-
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son-
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise-
Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart-
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun!
Heart of mine own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

So, what's your favorite hymn?
