Book Review: Real Life, Real Miracles by James L. Garlow & Keith Wall



Real Life, Real Miracles

by:  James L. Garlow & Keith Wall

 

About the Book:

"These real-life, credible stories of miraculous experiences, gathered by the authors of Miracles Are for Real, reveal that God is still very active in the world. Each gripping story is sure to encourage and inspire, offering hope and a sense of wonder. 
• When Steve rolled his car, he should have been killed. Why didn't he die that day?
• Caleb and Penny moved to a poor part of town to serve their community. But when one group of neighbors makes and sells drugs, will God's angels protect them?
• Bob's MS was getting progressively worse. Could God heal such a debilitating disease?
Whether you've experienced God's miracles or aren't sure if you believe in them, explore fascinating true stories like these and many more. You'll be in awe of God's power as you get a glimpse of how he personally cares for each of his children--including you."


My Review:
Hands down, the best book I have read in a while.  I finished it super quick and am left encouraged, enlightened and energized!  Full of 30+ stories, each one as good as the first, this book brought me back to the miracles in my life and a full and total appreciation for them and those that are to come.  One thing you get from this book is the knowledge that God is there and He loves you and all you have to do is have faith, believe!  And boy do I!  2 Thumbs up! 


*I received the book in this post compliments of Bethany House Publishers for purposes of this review, however all opinions are my own.

MyMemories Fab Friday Freebie - 3D Stars

Check it Out! It's time for another My Memories Fab Friday Freebie where every Friday you can come on back here and check out a new link to an exclusive Free My Memories download.

This weeks Freebie are these awesome 3-D Stars. These cute little decorations are great for the holidays and you can GO HERE and get them.  GO HERE and check out a quick tutorial on how to put these stars together. The key to these stars is to make sure that you have a total of 10 snowcone shapes to put these together. You can mix and match the patterns, but you need 10 of the same size to get a finished 3D star.

All of the Friday Freebies will now be MyMemories Suite Compatible. What does that mean??? It means that you can now load the freebies directly into your MyMemories Suite Software, and then completely customize them with any paper and embellishments that you have.

Don't have the software? You can purchase the My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software and get a great deal on it right here at Check it Out! with Dawn! When you use code: STMMMS78766 you will get $10 off your purchase plus a $10 credit towards purchases in the My Memories store.

You can now access the freebies through the store, instead of as a direct download. This means that if you ever buy a new computer, your computer crashes, or you accidentally delete a file, you will be able to access it in your My Downloads section of your MyMemories Account. This means you will need to have to a MyMemories account to access the downloads but don't worry, accounts are always free.

TIP:
You can right-click on the white guide and lock it in place to keep it from moving while you are working. Make sure this is the top layer of your project before printing.
Instead of adding the paper as a background paper, you can add it as an embellishment so that you can move the paper around. This is especially useful when using papers with stripes or circles, so you can decide which part of the paper you want to use.
Once it is added as an embellishment, you can now select the paper and move it into the position you want it.
Just SAVE and PRINT on cardstock. Fold it up following the lines to create your photobox.

Check out this Video Tutorial that shows you how you can use outside content with your My Memories Suite Software and see how easy and versatile this scrapbooking software is!
Just look at my fab blog header! I made it using my MyMemories Suite!

How do you get a Cleaner Clean? Charmin #FreshmatesClean of course! @Vocalpoint

Check it Out!  I got this great little surprise in the mail yesterday via Vocalpoint that I wasn't expecting, but was absolutely tickled to get! 

Charmin Freshmates and they want to know...Would you bathe with just a dry towel alone and expect to get clean? 

Hmmm...made me think...ahhh no!   

 

So upon opening the box I found a full size tub of Charmin Freshmates and the funniest towel ever! 

 

 

Just in case you can't keep up with what's cleaning what, this baby is sure to help out!  My husband and I just love it!! 

We are pretty dedicated Charmin users, I only buy another brand when I can't afford it, but for us the little extra cost is worth it.  We also use Freshmates, but I will admit not on a regular basis, usually when those stomach issues hit which cause other problems like diarrhea.  I find that it is true, you can get much cleaner using both.  Charmin Freshmates have just the right amount of moisture to clean without causing irritations or a mess because they are too wet. 

Do you use Freshmates?  Do you hide them or show them off? 
Well Vocalpoint wants to know and if you snap a pic of where you keep your Freshmates and submit it HERE, in the DIY Bathroom Makeover Sweepstakes,  you could win a $5,000 Visa Gift Card to use towards your own bathroom makeover!  Also 4 daily prize winners get a tub of Freshmates!

Torani Holiday Cheers Program via @SheSpeaksUp

Check it Out!  It's been really hard for me to get into the holiday spirit this year, given my circumstances so when I got this fab little delivery via SheSpeaks the other day I was so excited! 

I got Torani! 

Don't know what Torani is?

Well Torani is the #1 brand of flavored syrups in America and it comes in over 100 flavors!  Torani flavored syrups are made with high quality ingredients and they make creating amazing drinks at home a breeze and delicious! 

I received 2 750ml bottles in Gingerbread and Sugar Free Salted Caramel as well as a Torani recipe brochure and 5 $1 off coupons. 

First let me say that I have tried Torani before and I absolutely love the Sugar Free Salted Caramel and was so excited to get that flavor.  I actually had a bottle in the house when it burned.  Anyway, I love, love, love it on vanilla ice cream and I even put it on my cereal.

Pretty much any cereal that needs to be sweetened, like Cheerios and Rice Krispies are awesome with a little Torani mixed in.  And that is what is super cool about Torani flavored syrups, they are so flavorful that a little really does go a long way.  Just a teaspoon or two is all ya need, yummo!

I also love to add Torani to my coffee and my whole family loves Caramel Hot Cocoa!

 

 

Super easy and super yummy! Oh and Gingerbread Cocoa is pretty good too!

I'm not a huge gingerbread fan, but if you are, you must try this!  Spicy sweet and so rich.

There are some amazing recipes out there where people are making breads and cakes with Torani and you can also find recipes at http://www.torani.com/#/recipes.

You can also snag 10% off your purchase a Torani.com when you use code:  SHESPEAKS at checkout thru 11/30/12.

And if you haven't checked out SheSpeaks, head over HERE and see the amazing community, you can find reviews, deals and offers as well as recipes.  If your a blogger, your really gonna wanna check it out, they have a super amazing blogging community and you can get in on some awesome programs like this Torani Holiday Cheers program.

Product Review: 1st Step Wellness Liquid B-12 Complex

Check it Out!  Having enough energy is an issue for me these days and some days are a super struggle.  Between the stress of our living situation, my husbands illness and every other daily thing I deal with, the days are super long and seemingly more and more stressful so when I got a chance to review a product that is designed to help with just that problem I was more than willing to try it out.

So I signed up to get in on the 1st Step PRO-WELLNESS Liquid B-12 Complex 6 Day Challenge.

 "Be Happy, Be Healthy, Be Energized with Fast Acting Liquid B-12 Complex"

1st Step PRO-WELLNESS is made specifically for women and is a natural alternative to artificial flavors and it is safe to take everyday.  Made with real fruit juices that come directly from US orchards, they use natural cherry, passion fruit, mango and papaya.   

 

So I drank it in the mornings for 6 days straight and have to admit that not only did I have more energy but I haven't gotten so much as the sniffles since.  You can really taste the natural juices, which makes it taste way better than some of those other energy drink shots.  Very fruity!

Because energy is enhanced naturally with the purest grade of B-12, not caffeine, it's healthier and therefore more effective to enhance your energy naturally.  I really like that it is gluten free and 100% vegetarian.  This complex can be used as a vitamin supplement and as an energy enhancement.  Take it in the morning to start the day or when you need that energy boost to get through the day.

1st Step PRO-WELLNESS products can be found at Walgreens, BiLo, Publix, Kroger and 2,000 independent pharmacies.  You can visit www.1ststepprowellness.com to get more info on their liquid B-12 complex and a variety of other vitamins and supplements designed for women.

 

Check it Out! with Dawn readers can snag a sweet $4 off coupon when you GO HERE.

Don't forget to check them out on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and on their blog.

Book Review: Bold as Love by Bob Roberts Jr.

Bold as Love

by:  Bob Roberts Jr.

 

About the Book:

"People often think of their neighbors as those already belonging to their “tribe” or community. It’s safe, it’s easy, and it doesn’t often cause conflict—politically or religiously. But in today’s world, everyone and everything is interconnected globally in an ever-changing cultural landscape, while religious strife runs rampant. Is it feasible for Christians to live their faith boldly and lovingly while entering into a true relationship with “neighbors” of other faiths, both locally and globally?
In Bold as Love, Pastor Bob Roberts shows you what it looks like to live out your faith daily in the global public square among people of other faiths—Jews, Muslims, atheists, Hindus, Buddhists. While he admits that it can be challenging to engage people of other faiths whose beliefs are as strong as yours, he demonstrates how to enter into this critical dialogue in a radical yet loving way. “We have to learn to speak with one conversation and give the same message everywhere to everyone,” he says. “We are commanded to love God and love others. And sometimes that requires risky boldness.”
Roberts invites you to respond to this call to live a life of fearless and loving engagement with the world. So take the risk! Your faith wasn’t made to live in isolation. It’s something you do face-to-face, heart-to-heart, hand-to-hand. Whether you are in a suburb of Houston or a village in India, put away the fear and suspicion and, instead, answer the call to radically love others the way God loves. And get ready to see your life and the lives of those you touch—your family, your community, even your enemies—transformed!"

My Review:
Learning how to look past our differences is one of the challenges that Bob Roberts addresses in this book.  Looking beyond your own faith and learning about others and their beliefs can be scary for some people and using stories from his experiences with other cultures and religions, the author shows how rewarding it can be to have a greater understanding.  If you struggle with seeing how you can get to a new level of understanding, give this book a read and see how tolerance and appreciation of others whether christian or not can enhance your own faith.

My Knorr Ultimate Thanksgiving @Cravebox

Check it Out!  As you know I love me some Cravebox so I was super stoked to get chosen for the Knorr Ultimate Thanksgiving Cravebox.  Even though I don't have a kitchen and won't be cooking, I was so curious to see what would be in this box. 

Duncan Hines Frosting Creations

I received 1 container of Frosting Creations which is vanilla and a pack of Strawberry Shortcake flavor mix in.  I haven't used it yet, cause I can't bake, but I have tried this product before only with the caramel flavoring.  Not a huge fan of the flavoring, but am gonna try it out just as soon as I can.

Folded Words by Walgreens $35 voucher and free shipping

This little card is just a taste of the original and fresh designs that are available at Folded Words, where satisfaction is guaranteed.  After browsing the site for just a few minutes, I can't wait to get started customizing my creations.  I am thinking about some great gift ideas!! 

Pillsbury Grands Flaky Biscuits

Who hasn't used these?  I use them all the time so I love the free coupon!  I use canned biscuits for more than just biscuits though, there are so many ways you can use them including desserts, main meals and I love to use them as dumplings in my chicken and dumplings!  Quick, easy and mess free!

Brookside Dark Chocolate Pomegranate

 This is a magnificent combination of soft real fruit juice pieces that are covered with a wonderful dark chocolate that is a natural source of flavanol antioxidants.  I just have to say that I am in love and I have found me a new fave snack.  They are fabulous and will available at mass and grocery outlets in January 2013 but in the mean time you can get more info at www.brooksidechocolate.com.

Knorr Homestyle Stock

Great tasting stock in a concentrated format that is now available in two new varieties, reduced sodium chicken and vegetable.  I was introduced to this product months ago through another blogging program and have buying it ever since instead of traditional stock.  I am stoked to see that it is now available in vegetable because that sure will be helpful with a vegetarian in the house.  I also got a recipe card for Savory Mashed Potatoes that I can't wait to try.

Del Monte Specialty Whole Green Beans

I always buy Del Monte, it's a quality product that my family can trust and rely on.  Who hasn't tried these?  Good stuff!  I also got the Del Monte Favorite Recipes Booklet that also has $2.50 in coupons for more Del Monte products and this little booklet is full of some yummy and easy recipes.

So overall once again I am pleased with my Cravebox.  I think the contents were fitting for the holiday and speaking of holidays I can't wait to get my Holiday Spruce Up Cravebox that is on it's way as I type this!  Yippee!  Did I mention that I love Cravebox? 

Head over HERE and you can get more info on upcoming boxes and get in on the Craveworthy fun!!

 *I received no compensation for this post and purchased the product myself.  All opinions are my own.

Book Review: Yours is the Day, Lord, Yours Is the Night by Jeanie & David Gushee

Yours is The Day, Lord, Yours is The Night

Jeanie & David Gushee

 

 

About the Book:

Yours Is the Day, Lord, Yours Is the Night gives a framework for prayerful devotions with a morning and evening prayer for each day of the year. The prayers have been selected to reflect the seasons and the liturgical calendar. They are intended not to replace your personal, spontaneous prayers but to serve as a springboard for them.
Editors Jeanie and David Gushee have collected inspiring contributions from Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox sources; from all continents; from the Old Testament; and from each century of Christian history. Yours Is the Day, Lord, Yours Is the Night will enhance your commitment to God and personal connection to the Christian tradition and the Church universal.


My Review:
I really love this book.  I am drawn to devotionals because they pull scriptures from the bible that I may not have thought or knew about.  This is a daily devotional that gives you two scriptures or devotionals per day, 1 for the morning and 1 for the night.  I like the way they are all centered around the time, morning devotionals that set the tone for the day and evening devotionals that calm the soul for the night.  I like that they are dated so I can just go with the date and use it every year!  This will be a book used everyday in our family.  2 thumbs up!


*I received the book in this post compliments of Booksneeze for purposes of this post, however all opinions are my own.

I personally love the new look.  It's bright and fresh and more interactive and engaging than before.   There are 2 types of badges that can be earned now and that makes for much more fun.  Earn Lifestyle badges based on where you are in your life and Expert badges that are all about what you know.  Although there is a limit on Expert badges, I am hoping that will increase as I love opening new badges.

 

 

So my Influenster score right now is 86 although I am working to bring that up because I want every opportunity to get a VoxBox.  Yes, I want more VoxBoxes, they are awesome!  Head over HERE and you can check out my past boxes and see the fabulous array of products that you can test and tryout.

 

 

My last VoxBox was the Naturals 2012 VoxBox and it was wonderful.  I am still using many of these products now.   

Now Influenster is an invite only community so I wanna invite all you readers to get in on this exclusive and rewarding program.  Just head over to influenster.com and click on "request an invite" and be sure and tell them Dawn Pruitt sent ya!

@Kia wants to know our Holiday Travel tips and traditions

 

Check it Out!  I can not believe that Thanksgiving is already next week!  Wow, it really creeped up on me this year and with our situation, it looks like I won't be cooking this year and we will be traveling to get some dinner!

 So when we travel there are some essentials that we must have... #1 FOOD!  I don't know about your family, but snacks are always a winner!  #2 is each child gets a back pack and they can take what they can fit in the backpack to keep them occupied.  And #3 is moms bag, which is wher the band-aids, tums, things like that go and I try to have 1 little surprise for the ride, gum, candy, etc...

 Kia wants to know about your holiday travels!  Do you have a secret to keeping the kiddos happy during a long drive?  Do you have any holiday traditions that involve travel?  How about some tips for new travelers?
