    I suggest copy/pasting into a word document, then inserting page numbers so you will be able to keep your place.  There are some punctuation mistakes, as I believe they probably scanned the pages of books and occasionally it failed to detect a period, or added in a space here or there, etc.  Just correct as you go.  =)

Read on Christian Classics, June-August, 2011


Books:

If you're not able to purchase new books, look for used copies on Amazon or eBay.  Look for sellers who have high ratings, but also have many ratings.  Check the return policies of each seller.  Also, many times Amazon will let you read a preview of the book.

*Many older books may have "old-looking" editions available on Amazon, that are free for Kindle/Kindle App.  You will need an Amazon account.  You can even have a free Kindle App on a computer or other device.
  • Books by Jerry Ross:  Stay in the Castle (a fiction story within a true story - good for pre-teens and teens), The Childhood Years of Jesus Christ (for parents), The Teenage Years of Jesus Christ (for  pre-teens, teens, youth directors, and for parents), and more.
  • In His Steps, by Charles M. Sheldon
    *This book is free for Kindle.
  • Before You Meet Prince Charming, by Sarah Mally -- A book for teen girls or young adults about being content to wait. Don't think you will start your life when you meet the right one. Be productive now and LIVE your life. Don't think of it as "waiting" but "being." And "be" where God wants you to be, doing what God wants you to do. And when that man you're supposed to marry is also in the right place at the right time, your paths will cross.
  • TRUE STORY The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom
  • God Knows My Size! Silvia Tarniceriu, by Harvey Yoder -- A 13yo girl's answered prayer builds her faith, which sustains her years later as she faced persecution and even prison for Christ's sake.
    I do not know if this is a true story.  
  • TRUE STORY By Searching, by Isobel Kuhn  -- "If You will prove to me that You are [exist], and if You will give me peace, I will give you my whole life"  --  This book showed me that in order to give HIM my whole life, I need to give up the "little" things that I hold on to.
    But... this is a process.  When I see someone doing something *I* wouldn't do, I likely do things they wouldn't do either!  No one is "higher" than another but we are higher and lower in different areas, like a graph.
  • TRUE STORY In the Arena, by Isobel Kuhn -- This book continues the story of Isobel Kuhn (By Searching).  Christians are on display, like someone condemned to die in the arena.  Isobel was convinced that the trials of her life were "arena experiences" and her most valuable lessons.
  • TRUE STORY - As a boy, he dreamed of being a spy -- undercover behind enemy lines.  As a man, he found himself undercover for God.  Brother Andrew was his name, and for decades his life story, recounted in God's Smuggler, has awed and inspired millions.  -- So amazing how he trusted God, and God came through time after time.

Proverbs 3:5-7
My Mom and Dad♥
FROM MY MOM'S JOURNAL: May, 2009 "Lord, thank you so much for teaching me this! Cancer is a picnic compared to having one's family turn back to the world... I would "break" under that - anguish of my soul if my kids didn't love You in truth." (My mom was diagnosed with cancer in September of 2008.)




This song is exactly my mom and dad, and I want my kids to be able to say the same about me.







I found this awhile back.  It was something Travis had typed out a long time ago on an electric typewriter, and had stuck it in the pages of one of the reference sources he has.

WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG
  1. Do you ask other people's opinion about what you are doing, if it is right or wrong.
  2. Do you argue with yourself about it.
  3. Do you feel uneasy about what you have decided that's for you to do; had you rather no one else see you do it.
  4. Can you say, "Lord, I thank you for providing this for me."
I'm so glad I have Travis!♥
A familiar sight - both girls hanging on either side of him.  They do love their Dad!

Will you give your life to Him?







A Poem by Fanny J. Crosby


"Oh, what a happy soul I am, 

Although I cannot see; 
I am resolved that in this world 
Contented I will be. 
How many blessings I enjoy, 
That other people don't! 
To weep and sigh because I'm blind, 
I cannot, nor I won't."
written at age 8 or 9 by Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915) 

If you think you are too unimportant, too "little," too this or that, to do something for Jesus, think again! This lady wrote thousands of hymns in her lifetime! So maybe you can't write hymns.  But do you know someone that isn't saved?  Have you witnessed to them? It is kind of scary if you've never done it.  Fear of rejection is scary.  But if you start praying and reading your Bible daily, with the intent of learning and getting something from it, soon you will begin to feel excited about what you are learning, and you'll really want to share Jesus with others! 

 If you are reading this and have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour, and the only way to heaven, please read these verses.  If you still have questions or just want to talk more about it, you can email me at martysahm@gmail.com.








And I hope you'll be with me!  =)
