I got my new book!!!!!

I have been waiting for Brock and Bodie's new book, Seventh Day, from the moment I finished their last book, Sixth Covenant. Jessica got it for me for my birthday, and it came in the mail yesterday, and it is just as good as I expected it to be!! I'm on chapter 2 and I've already learned something about God's word, seen something in a new light, and been convicted of sin and moved to tears. If you haven't read any of the A.D. Chronicles yet, go to the library and check out First Light--it's an incredible series. Or start with Vienna Prelude, the first of the Zion Chronicles series...or any series, they're all wonderful and all end up working together anyway! In Seventh Day, news of Yeshua working miracles is spreading through the country of Israel. They are wishing they could get to Him, meet with Him face to face, planning what they could say...
If only...
"You are the Messiah? I've been waiting for you to come. You see, I want a lot! But I've heard you can do everything for me. Health, first of all. Yes. You haven't got anything if you don't have your health. Heal me. And after you make me healthy, please make me be happy always! I heard you can arrange everything. I want to be loved. I want my children always content around me, appreciating me, honoring me. I want my problem solved right now. You can do it if you're really the Messiah. I want to be right, and I want everyone to know how right I am. I want to win. I want those who hurt me to be punished. I want guaranteed success. Prosperity for my business. Always. I want you to thank me for being so righteous. I want...I want...I want..."

Why am I no different, 2000 years later?
I love these books.

I also have finally finished Night of Tragedy, Dawning of Light (except for the appendix, which I actually may read). I would cross it out on my book list if I knew how! It has taken me a long time because I could only read one chapter at a time--it was emotionally tiring. But I made it through, and found that after all these years, I still needed to heal. This book helped me find closure and healing. When I read, "What remains now is to recover and to look expectantly to God to see how this terrible tragedy will be turned into good purposes in the future of our lives," I realized it's okay--even good--to let it go, to move on...to heal.
