Your Daily Bible Verse by Rachelle Ayala

Another great book by Rachelle Ayala. For my previous post by her, search in my March archives under the title " Hidden Under her Heart ". For me, I wake up and plan on spending time in the word, and have the desire to do just that...then life gets in the way. What I really liked in this book, were the daily reminders. There is a verse for every day of the year. Each verse corresponds to the month and day that you are on.

For example, on February 8th, the verse is Ephesians 2:8 : For by Grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Every day you have a different verse you can memorize.  Do you want a special verse on a certain day? Maybe for a Birthday, or a day to remember? This book is perfect.. It's easy to find the day and the verse to go with it.

The verses might not always be what you would choose for a certain date, but they are always a starting point and can help lead you to search the Bible for more verses.  All verses are in the King James Version. For me, I prefer a different version without the "ye" and "thou" but that's just me:)

I highly encourage you to get this book. While it's not a devotion with stories or anything, It is definitely worthwhile to have. It would make a great gift for someone, or a way for not only you, but maybe a family memorization time.

Hidden Under Her Heart

Hidden Under Her Heart

by Rachelle Ayala

      Hidden Under Her Heart is a book about choices. The choices we make, and those made for us due to circumstance. In the book, we follow Maryanne as she is attempting to make changes in her life. She wants to move from her life of bad choices in men and sex, to a life where she has a man committed to her and to marriage. She decides to abstain from sex and focus on other things. She starts to date a man named Lucas, who could be that man. One night after a fight with Lucas, she finds herself at a party at a local church, and drinking. That night she is raped. Her boyfriend is accused, and she has to go about clearing his name. They go through many trials as they work to find the truth. Maryanne considers abortion feeling because of her past it would be the best. Lucas is dead set against abortion and works at trying to change her mind. There is trouble following them both as they try and figure out who the father is, and how to prove Lucas is not the rapist. As we follow their journey together and as individuals, we watch them learn about loving themselves and forgiveness. 

      Although abortion is at the center of the book, I feel the story was, as a whole, more about forgiveness and a search for truth. Through characters who show up at the right time, we learn about courage and strength. We find the sole truth to be that of Christ dying for our sins. We learn how God can use any situation to bring us to him and there is where truth is. We see that even when situations seem hopeless, he is there and will see us through. Although to me the story started out a little slow, the more I read the more I realized I was wrong. It was a heartwarming plot, good truth and a good look at how our choices affect our lives and future choices. A very good read!
