MY TOP CHRISTIAN BOOKS

The following is a list and 100 word book review of the books that have helped me manage different types of stress at different stages and periods of my life. These books are written by various authors such as Joyce Meyer, Judy Jacobs, Bishop T.D. Jakes and Dr. Daniel Olukoya. Some of the books such as Managing Stress with the Word of God and SWORD WORDS I have written myself and have been healed as I wrote them for as many writers will testify, writing is therapeutic.

Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer taught me, and it'll teach you, that The Battle of your Life is fought in your mind. If your stressors or the enemy defeats you in your mind, then you are truly defeated. But, if they have defeated you physically, but they haven't defeated mentally, then they really haven't won because you still have the come-back seed within you. Therefore, pray, trust in God and eradicate negativity by meditating on the Word of God and on the works of God. And, you'll win the battle with the help of the Spirit of God.

10 Commandments of Working in a Hostile Environment by Bishop T.D. Jakes instructed me to pray and fill myself with Scriptures to prevent mental distress. It helped me view my workplace as God's training ground for my future assignments and not as my final destination. This taught me to rely only on Him for recognition and promotion. It tipped me on the pitfalls of trying to fit into groups instead of trying to fit into God's plan for my life. And, it encouraged me to create multiple sources of income and create regular family time, fun time and self care-time.

Take It By Force by Judy Jacobs taught me how to boldly press, push and pursue my possessions using violent faith and aggressiveness in the spirit while standing on God's word, proclaiming His promises and expecting a miracle. This book reminded me that fasting and prayer (even of one person) are very powerful forces that should be wielded to defeat hindrances to my breakthroughs. It urged me to fill myself with God's word as I envelop myself with fortifying praise and worship music. It reiterated that I should inherit the God's promises through faith and patience and never give up.

Prayer Rain by Dr. Daniel Olukoya has taught me many powerful prayers and how to pray powerfully. These powerful prayers are grouped in chapters where they are preceded by an introduction and Scriptures for meditation. The powerful prayers address issues such as fighting anti-conception powers, anti- marriage powers, bondage, destiny killers, defeat, destructive agreements, curses, desert spirits, evil altars, evil hands, evil growths, evil linkage, failure, fear, home destroyers, household wickedness, non-achievement, oppressors, opposition, perversion, soul ties, snail spirits, satanic agents, stubborn situations, sickness and witchcraft. Prayer Rain also gives several fasting schedules to make your powerful prayers more effective.
