The Way to God by Dwight L. Moody



I loved this book not only because I am a fan of the late Dr. Dwight L. Moody and Moody Bible Institute and the great radio station we have here in Florida thanks to Moody, but because this book was targeted to not on the unsaved but the backslider as well!

Rich with Scripture, although I am not familiar with the Jubilee Bible translation, I do appreciate the references along with Scripture in italics. This way, I can study the Scripture presented in many different translations of my choosing for further study.

The mission statement I believe of this amazing work is a warning to be saved because time is running short until Jesus returns. The Scripture used for this mission statement was clearly Matthew 4:17.

My favorite part of this book was the backsliding section at the end. Although I do believe the call to salvation is much more important, I do believe that this section may speak to Christians who need the wake up call that the author presents for we will regret if we do not store up eternal rewards or are not ready when Jesus returns. I found this section forthright as well as inspiring. I love the clear direct way that D.L Moody presents the truths of God. We need more of this wisdom in our day of ticking the ears of Christians for entertainment-sake.

I love this book because it is the kind of book one will keep in his or her library. It is a valuable tool not only for the believer but for the unbeliever as well. I could see buying this book for a friend as it really is a great tool to teach the unsaved.

So grateful to Aneko Press for offering such a great review opportunity! Such rich, life-changing teaching by a hero of the faith! So blessed!

Earth Psalms by Francine Rivers



Who doesn't love Scripture daily along with being inspired as one reflects on how "God speaks through nature?"

This beautifully illustrated gift book is endowed with rose gold foil along with a handy petite gold ribbon which hangs low in order for the reader to never lose is or her place!

The bulk of Scripture listed in this beautiful work of art is New Living Translation. Other Scripture which is noted is 2011 and ESV. Not a fan of the new NIV so happy to know that the New Living Translation is the bulk of the Scripture.

I love the fonts and the shiny paper. The photographs so beautiful!

At the end of each chapter are 3 sections: Reflect, Apply and Connect with God. This format speaks a weekly devotional to me as opposed to a daily devotion. Francine challenges us to do something "this week."

Many of the week's reading is written about Francine River's family or experiences. I loved hearing more about this amazing writer through the pages of this book.

My favorite chapter was Chapter 15: God's Thoughtful Creation. This chapter was about her trip to Claude Monet's inspirational garden. This chapter was so interesting and unexpected (do not want to be a spoiler).

What a blessing to read and own this fine work of Ms. Rivers! This book has a special place in my heart and on my bookshelf. I will buy many friends this book as it is truly the perfect gift!

Thank you Francine Rivers!

Turmeric Powder by Quiwi Foods



Holy healthy living. This is truly what I aspire to and I aspire to share healthy habits with my family as well. Quiwi Foods has made this endeavor that much easier with the Turmeric Powder they have so generously provided for this review.

First of all, this item is so affordable and the 1 lb package arrived flat and easier to store until you open it. It does have a resealable seal but you will want to store it in an air tight glass container once you open it as it so fresh and pungent. You will want to keep it that way as when you are ready to use it, you want it to be the same bright beautiful color as well so you will know you are getting the most antioxidant goodness you can get! Also, if you do not keep this item in an air tight container, it may affect other items next to it as it can affect the taste of other food items if not in an airtight container. It is that fresh and strong!

I bought a capsule maker machine awhile back and really do enjoy making my own ginger capsules and as well as kelp capsules. This was my first foray into combining ginger powder with turmeric powder. My goal is to cut down on my digestive enzymes during meals. Because this Turmeric Powder was so fine it was easy peasy to mix with ginger (which was the same grind) to make the capsules. The Turmeric Powder did become less powdery and a bit heavier in consistency as there is a high humidity in my South Florida kitchen when I made the capsules.

I have to be honest in that I do not like Turmeric Powder of any ilk in my food and I did not test this powder in my food either. I prefer to take the vegetable capsules which I make instead so I cannot tell you how it tasted in food.

I did not have any after burps with the capsules and I did not have any indigestion so I know this product was high grade and a very important item for my pantry!

Tumeric and curcumin have been shown to reduce inflammation, cure depression, increase serotonin levels in the brain, and prevent certain types of cancer. It is a distant "cousin" of the ginger plant. Why not? Make your own capsules today and save and enjoy holy health!

EnzymeGenix™ by OvitaminPro.com




So happy to have found this must-have digestive aid! This product was my first review for the BetterGenix line by OvitaminPro. I had been using Apex digestive aids for the past year. While they were working well, I did have to increase the amount I took in order to avoid the heart burn which I had been suffering from for so long. As a result, I began spending more and more as I needed to keep increasing the amount in order to feel good after eating. Apex is wonderful but I was looking for a better way to cut my budget.


I took one EnzymeGenix™ just before breakfast in place of the Apex product I had been taking. I was so happy as I had the same results and did not get heartburn! I took this product just before breakfast for 3 straight mornings = success!

I proceeded to lunch and soon realized I needed to take 2 just before lunch in order to avoid heartburn or reflux. I have a very sensitive stomach so after taking 2 I was pleased to have success with this product!


Dinner was a different story though. I do not know if I did not have as good of a result with dinner because we eat so late, or because I take numerous supplements currently with dinner, but even with taking 3 EnzymeGenix™ I still had a bit of burning in my belly.

I will soon be blood testing and seeing my doctor and hopefully will be taking less supplements at night which will help with heartburn. I will give EnzymeGenix™ another shot at dinner after figuring out why I have trouble avoiding bloating, belching and heartburn lately no matter which digestive aid I take.

This product is dairy free, gluten free, and I like the enteric coating so much better than the capsules I have been taking. I also appreciate that it has calcium as I do not take calcium in any of the other supplements I currently take.

Best part is that I am going to save a ton of money taking this product! I would not promote this product if it did not work. I totally agree that sometimes trying to cut corners you end up wasting money. That is not the case here and you will love not only the savings but you will love how good you feel after taking EnzymeGenix™! Thank you to www.ovitaminpro.com for providing so many excellent selections to us gluten free sensitive (but now healthy) people!

Raw Cacao Nibs from Quiwi Foods



Oh my goodness (literally)! I have been seeking cacao nibs which have a low sugar, cholesterol and sodium content. This product not only has low sugar, cholesterol and sodium but no sugar, cholesterol or sodium! As soon as I ripped open the packaging (couldn't wait to get started!) I could smell the burniliciously good chocolately aroma (I made up those words). Not sure what gives these nibs the almost smoky smell but I love it!

The dietary fiber is just under 40% for a 2 tablespoon serving size. These raw cacao nibs will be the perfect snack and 2 tablespoons is a handful of raw cacao nibs. So good for you and these cacao nibs actually taste like chocolate and have a crunchy texture. I cannot something so tasty can also be so good for you and even though the saturated fat is 7 grams, it is the good for you fat like avocados and coconut oil.

I also appreciate the iron, calcium, zinc potassium and magnesium.

This product arrived quickly and was packaged in a sturdy, attractive re-sealable plastic packaging. Of course I transferred it to a glass jar in my snack pantry as it is such a beautiful product and seeing it next to all of my other healthy snacks makes me smile.

Quiwi Foods is doing good things and it is my pleasure to support their efforts in promoting Farm To You. This item is a product of Peru. Quiwi Foods is located in San Francisco, CA.

I am so blessed to review such a wonderful healthy yummy product. I am so happy I found Quiwi Foods Raw Cacao Nibs. These healthy chocolately treats will be a staple in my house. Thank you Quiwi Foods!

ClearVite by Apex From OVitaminPro.com

I could not wait to post this review because this is truly a product which I cannot stop singing its praises. My first adventure with this 21-day detox system was with the ClearVite chocolate flavor a year ago. This product is the same product but it is vanilla. The first time I used this product I have to say it was a challenge. There is a food guide which you need to adhere to. Also, the program is like a "ladder" meaning you increase the amount of scoops and then come back down with the amount of scoops as you near the 21-day mark.

I just finished my second go 'round with ClearVite a month ago. While the food program was so much easier (I had adopted the food plan in my daily life as I felt so much better eating the ClearVite way) this time, the vanilla was not as good as the chocolate. I know taste is preferential. I had an aftertaste with the vanilla. The chocolate was not sweet but it felt more like a milkshake even when mixed with the same amount of water.

For my program, my doctor again advised we deviate from the standard directions given with this product. As a result, I went through 1 1/2 containers as compared to just using 1 container. My protocol was:
Days 1-4,  one shake b4 breakfast.
Days 5-7, one shake b4 breakfast and one b4 dinner.
Days 8-14 one b4 breakfast lunch and dinner.
Days 15-17 one b4 breakfast one b4 dinner.
Day 18-21 one shake b4 breakfast.

One shake = 2 scoops.

I keep the containers as they are food safe and bright white (and I think beautiful!). I fill them with cookies at Christmastime and give as gifts. Why not?

The first 3 days of this detox I felt cranky as my body was eliminating toxins. Midway through I slept so good and I started having more energy. I had more time as well since no more coffee (decaf even) and no wine. I steamed veggies until I could steam no more and then during the no animal proteins I ate even more veggies and enjoyed quinoa as if it were caviar. Needless to say, I lost 8 lbs. and my skin and eyes were clearer (and still are).

ClearVite is a plan and not just a product. With the complexities of my health, I know this detox is a must do item every six months. I have learned that I do not drink enough water or take in enough fiber as during this plan I became constipated quite often (ewwww). I am a firm believer in disciplines in which we take a step back and slow down so that we can reset not only our bodies but our minds as well. And so the first 3 days were my reset days in which I realized that I often forget to take care of this temple God has given me.

I mean, we all get busy and stressed and forget to slow down. ClearVite is that "You Deserve It" product everyone should enjoy now and then. And you say, How can you enjoy a detox? Call me crazy but I do believe a detox is a discipline and in some way it is enjoyable after you are done. You look back at your hard work and realize you did something difficult and you did not give up.

Invest in your health and choose ClearVite today! http://www.ovitaminpro.com/apxclearvitepsf.html
