Book Review: Oh God, Please Help me With my Doubt by Leighann McCoy

Help Me With My Doubt: Welcome to Oh God, Please Help Me with My Doubt. The book you’re holding in your hands will help you capture and subdue the voice of doubt, whose goal is to eat away at your faith until nothing is left but bitterness and disillusionment. In the first section of this book, you will learn to recognize God’s voice. You will develop the ability to hear Him when He responds to your prayers. Then you will learn what to do when God doesn’t respond, when you are faced with His silence. While wrestling with the silence of God, you will discover five keys you can use to delete doubt from your prayer life. Then you will visit with the Israelites as they camped on the out- skirts of the Promised Land and see what occurred when God’s people applied or did not apply these keys to their lives. Then before this book comes to an end you will examine several doubts one at a time. Together we will define, dissect, and then defeat each one. My prayer is that by the time you complete this book you will have experienced God’s removal of most, if not all, of the doubts that infect your prayers.

Unfortunately, this book was not helpful to me.  Every Christian wrestles with doubt at one time or another... or possibly all the time.  So, I was looking forward to this book giving me good insight into the problem.  It didn't happen.

The book's synopsis claims you will learn to recognize God's voice, to be able to hear Him when He responds to your prayers.  The author's theories and explanations did nothing to help in these areas.  She also seemed to lean a lot on quotes and ideas from other authors.

If you're looking for a book to help with your prayer life and your doubts, I'd have to recommend you try a different book.

Thanks to Netgalley and Worthy Publishing for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Book Review: Bright Light: Spiritual Lessons from a Life in Acting by Dee Wallace

 Like you, Dee Wallace came in as a bright shiny light, and she knew from the beginning that her soul quest was to keep that light shining and share it with others. This was a challenge growing up poor in Kansas amidst all the conflicting religious and social messages of her upbringing. But she stuck to this strong intent and followed her knowingness in a meteoric rise as an actress, becoming an acting icon after only five years with the success of E.T., and then faltering and losing her way only to reclaim the power of that knowingness later in life. Bright Light works as an autobiographical tale of an actor's life and craft, and how that journey applies to everyone's spiritual journey. It is the story of Everyman: the reclaiming of Self. Each chapter of Dee Wallace's story is characterized by a concept like intention, in which the narrative becomes an allegorical exploration of its qualities. Dee Wallace has rediscovered the wisdom that we all know but forget: that true success comes from following the heart's lead, and that the mind only creates form for spirit's creative manifestation. Our consciousness is our intelligence. 

In Bright Light, Dee Wallace writes an autobiography with life lessons to help the readers.  She tells us of her early life in Kansas, going to New York, then to L.A. to become an actress.  She tells us about her successes and her failures.  As she looks back on these times in her life, she realizes why she was successful and why she failed. 

Dee explains how powerful thoughts are and intentions in how you create and receive what you want in your life.  She uses real life examples, such as knowing she would have a daughter and asking the Universe for it.  Against all the odds, she gave birth to her daughter.

It's a very uplifting and touching story.  This book can help you learn to deal with your own life issues and how to live the life you deserve!

Book Review: The Secret of Instant Healing by Frank Kinslow

Over the last few years, innovative self-help methods have convinced many people of a new worldview. Quantum Entrainment® (QE) is the newest development in this area: QE works with gentle touch that quietly activates the autonomic nervous system to spontaneously and naturally create an atmosphere in which deep healing can take place.

 

This amazing self-help method is easy to use and needs no previous knowledge—it can be applied by everyone! And what is most astonishing: not only does the treated individual receive deep, restful healing; but the person who is using QE will also experience an immediate, prolonged sense of well-being. Give it a try—you will be surprised by how powerful Quantum Entrainment is!

Well, I read the book.  Some chapters more than once.  It was confusing for me and too much verbage before getting down to the real information on how to perform the healing procedure.  The author, Frank Kinslow, kept mentioning how easy it all was, but his explanations were anything but easy. 

I didn't find the techniques easy either, though that may be just me.  I have a hard time sitting and keeping my mind quiet.  So, I don't know if this healing technique works or not.  I see a lot of people in other reviews claim it does miracles.  I'm happy they were able to make it work for them, it just didn't for me.
