BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY BOOKS IN THE STORE SECTION OF MY WEBSITE.

My "BLING FROM THE KING" Sapphires from Psalms and Better than Jewels devotional books are pictured here along with this review from a reader who posted on Amazon.com~

 "Better Than Jewels is an absolute treasure of a book! It's broken down into Thirty-one 1 to 2 page vignettes; stories taken directly from Linda Newton's life. Each and every story is engrossing and well written--and the lessons Linda teaches at the conclusion are, as the title indicates, "better than jewels." I was deeply touched by Linda's transparency and Biblical insight, as well as the wise counsel that she imparts in each lesson. This hardcover gift book would make a lovely and meaningful Christmas present for the women in your life, and for. I highly recommend it!

Sapphires from Psalms and Better than Jewels from the book of Proverbs, are small hardback gift books each filled with 31 Chicken-Soul-for-the-Soul-type stories, one for every day of the month. Start each day with a scripture to instruct and a story to inspire. You can purchase books from via Paypal from my store or email me at linda@lindanewtonspeaks.com. Books are $12 each; if you buy more than one they are $10 each.

 

Here is a review on my first book on how to turn trials into triumphs, 12 Ways to Turn Your Pain Into Praise: Biblical Steps to Wholeness In Christ:

12 Ways to Turn Your Pain Into Praise" begins with the author's riveting story of her abusive childhood. She recounts her younger years with heartbreaking authenticity, and I found myself engrossed in her story. Newton's honesty and transparency are refreshing, and the way she weaves her story of joyful healing throughout each chapter is deeply inspiring.

I appreciate the fact that "Twelve Ways to Turn Your Pain Into Praise" doesn't serve up "easy answers" and Christian platitudes to abuse survivors. Instead, Newton offers specific solutions, Biblical insight, compassion, and practical steps to experience lasting freedom and healing. Each chapter ends with a constructive exercise for the reader. For example, at the end of chapter 10 the reader is told to, List your top three priorities in your journal. Invest in each one every day. To keep yourself accountable, keep a record of what you do. I liked the fact that after receiving instruction in each chapter, the reader is then given something to do to solidify the new lesson learned.

The chapters flow easily, and the content remains interesting and relevant until the last page. Newton relies heavily upon other women's stories (as well as her own) and she extensively expounds on Scripture--especially in chapter 3. Although the author is a gifted Bible teacher and professional counselor--you'll feel more like you're being instructed by a trusted friend and mentor.

"Twelve Ways to Turn Your Pain Into Praise" is insightful, interesting, and even charming. Abuse survivors will find it a reliable roadmap to freedom. Submitted by Paula @PFMinistries

12 Ways is available via Paypal from my store or email me at linda@lindanewtonspeaks.com. Books are $12 each; if you buy more than one they are $10 each.
