Ever since I read Book One of this series I'd been looking forward to this second book. So, I read it as soon as I got my hands on it. I've also been reading these stories aloud to friends and family members. Each story and each painting is infused with such hope. Bryson's experiences as an ordinary woman of God, living an extraordinary life are so encouraging. This book fuels my faith that the miracles of Jesus are still happening, just like in the Bible, and that God can use anyone who believes. Highly recommended.
I read this book as part of my Christian devotional to God.
This is an autobiographical account of Spiritual and Supernatural events that happened in and around the author, Connie Bryson.
Ms. Bryson is a woman who was not always a person of faith. As she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior though the Holy Spirit filled her with Gifts. Throughout this book she relates some of the miraculous events that occurred. She puts them into the context of the other events happening in her life at the time.
In one chapter her political views came out but given the event that happened it was in context. My prayer/devotional partner and I were taken aback by it but then we accepted that she had a right to her opinion even if it did not agree with our own. Otherwise we enjoyed her stories of faith.
Special note: The artwork in the book was done by the author herself. The eBook version may be the best value as the print versions cost extra because of the additional costs. The artwork is beautiful and is at the beginning of each chapter.
Warning: Some events depicted are based on sexual situations and end-of-life events. Even though they have a positive outcome, some people may be sensitive.
As I read story after story, sometimes I felt them to be incredulous, however, as I began to realize the particular gifts with which Connie Bryson was designated, I loved learning about her background.
That Connie braved many devastating sorrows, yet rejoiced in her Lord’s interventions and ability to lead thirsting individuals to Jesus Christ, sharing of ‘Life after Death,’ — joy and peace to those going through the doors to their Savior’s arms.
There are some grammatical errors along the way, but nothing that would deter the reader from the wonderful workings of an on-fire Christian life that she shares. Once again, the reader is encouraged to live a life in the Spirit that shows the rest of the world a wonderful picture of who our God is and the love He has for us all.
Thank you, Connie, for your openness and encouragement.
The Holy Spirit is wonderful and how he has used Connie Engel to bring his love and kindness to this Earth is amazing!!! This is a very faith building book! I recommend to anyone who needs to build their faith in God. Connie Engel encourages believers to have deep and intimate relationship with the very God who created them! Read this book!!!!
What a wonderful book! Each chapter is a stand alone story of Connie ' s personal walk with God and the blessings that are a result of her responding to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Miracles - The Holy Spirit's Fire is the second book in this series. I'm going to read the first book and any other writings by this author.
Great inspirational book, loved it, being a Christian and reading these miracles that happen makes me feel so happy because I know that the Lord is always by our side in the good and bad days of our lives. The Holy Spirit is felt every time each chapter I have read it inspires me to be a better person!
Loved the short snapshots of how God works in her life in many ways. Easy to read and pickup when you have more time. It is God honoring and practical Christianity. Worth reading and seeing how God can and does relate to our every day realities.
Connie has inspired me in her series of Miracles to open my eyes and recognize where I can bring Gods salvation into the world. I believe God speaks to us in a way we will each understand, uniquely. He uses us, if we let Him, to minister to His people; our brothers and sisters.
I did enjoy this book. I would not necessarily define each story as a miracle more like God's leading by visions and by speaking to her. Thank you for sharing.
