About The Book: Jesus and the Beanstalk: Overcoming Your Giants and Living a Fruitful Life (Abingdon Press, September 2016)What if a fairy tale and ten Bible verses could free you to live an effective, fruitful life in Christ?
We live in unsettling, challenging times. Everywhere we look, we see giant problems: giant obstacles to sharing faith, giant barriers to peaceful lives, giant strongholds of fear. But what if you knew eight small secrets to unlocking a strength big enough to overcome whatever obstacle life may bring?Using allegory and a bit of humor, Jesus and the Beanstalk explores a passage in 2 Peter 1 to uncover eight truths that will help you unleash a larger-than-life faith:
-Faith
-Goodness
-Knowledge
-Self-control
-Perseverance
-Godliness
-Affection for others
-Love
In this creative, refreshing perspective on spiritual growth, you will discover an unyielding strength when you tap the power of a God who is stronger than any beanstalk and bigger than your biggest giants. Purchase a copy: http://bit.ly/2dcnopJ

My Thoughts On The Book: I had to chuckle to myself when I read the title of the book. I mean, come on! Jesus and the Beanstalk....but being a huge fan of Jack and the Beanstalk I was curious to say the least. Lori Roeleveld did an wonderful job of writing this devotional. I struggle with giants in my life on a day to day basis and was delighted to find this little help to defeating those giants and bearing fruit in my Christian life. This book inspired me to get out my dusty journal and dig deeper in the Word. I have been journaling, praying, meditating and searching more than I have in a long time thanks to Jesus and the Beanstalk. I found the Word Study Exercise and Role Model Ministudy very helpful. The Heritage Faith Walkers was inspiring and the Small Steps was the spark that lit the fire in me to begin digging, writing, and journaling again. I really enjoyed the book and cannot wait to share it, or at least do a book study with it. Thank you for allowing me to review it!
