'The God Who Sees You' by Tammy Maltby

Author Tammy Maltby introduces us to “The God Who Sees You” through Scripture and anecdote in her new book. She begins with the story of Hagar, the runaway maidservant of Abram and Sarai. Hagar felt invisible until God told her that He saw her and she praised Him as “the God who sees me.”

From there Maltby takes us through other scriptural references, other evidences that God not only sees us but He sees what we need, He sees what happens to us and He sees our hearts. She also uses quotations from other authors to remind us of how very much we mean to God, and what that means to us in day to day life. Maltby speaks out of her own pain and shares her own experiences of a time when she was feeling invisible.

"The God who sees you" offers comfort and inspiration that is sorely needed in today's technological and isolating world. It reminds us that we are never truly abandoned or alone; it reminds us that we are treasured to the One who created us.

In the rear of the book, Maltby provides a detailed list of notes referencing the various sites and verses she has quoted, making it easy to follow-up for further study. "The God Who Sees You" offers far more than just a reminder that God sees us. It provides the documentation to prove it.

The book’s organization makes it a great choice for small group study and its uplifting theme makes it an excellent choice for a book club. Easy to read, the book presents the information in understandable form and easily digestible portions. You may find yourself seeing portions of Scripture in a new light as you study the implications of what your visibility to God really means.

Shining the Light on Evil - 'The Canary List' by Sigmund Brouwer

What if you were a 12-year-old foster kid who had a gift you didn’t understand, something that terrified you? What if you confided your fears to a male teacher who tried to help you and found himself accused of inappropriate conduct? That’s the premise of Sigmund Brouwer’s novel, “The Canary List.”

Bestselling author Brouwer takes us on a harrowing journey through the conflict between good and evil in a chilling story of a little girl who can derail conspiracies by the simple ability to sense evil in people. She poses a threat to those in high places and they will stop at nothing to neutralize the threat.

For readers who think that Christian novels can’t possibly be as exciting as secular books, “The Canary List” offers an abrupt enlightenment. The battle between the forces of Heaven and Hell provides all the excitement one could possibly need in a thriller. Brouwer does a good job of keeping the tension at a high pitch throughout the pages.

The scariest part of this book, for me at least, lies in the plausibility, the threat that evil ignores the rules that good tries to follow. Brouwer translates the contrast vividly as we watch a good but broken man try to help a child and run head-on into horror.

The prolific Sigmund Brouwer hits the target of adventure and suspense in “The Canary List.” Don’t read this book for a little light diversion; read it for an adrenalin-pushing, heart-pounding journey into the dark side of life.
