Look at what people are saying about An Invitation to the Table:
"Author Michelle Lazurek has experienced the grace of hospitality and passes along that blessing to others, so she knows her subject well. She helps readers see that hospitality is not just entertaining in your home but entering into the lives of others wherever you may be, showing kindness and grace wherever there is need. The book will help you understand scriptures related to hospitality, such as why the disciples took nothing when Jesus first sent them out. End of chapter “Food for Thought” and “Group Application” will motivate individuals and groups to live out their calling. The book ends with a section “For Further Study,” with more questions and suggested scripture that might be used by small group leaders." ~Shirley Brosius "I picked it up 30 minutes ago after putting a cake in the oven, and by page 30 I have underlined about 25% of what I've read. I have notes written in the margins, stars, and tears of conviction." ~RaChelle Glauser "I love this book on the subject of implementing spiritual and practical hospitality. I have given up on keeping my house clean enough to show hospitality by serving a meal. Being raised in a home where everything had to be put away for ‘company’ means a never-ending task, especially since I’m not an organized person. But this author provides compelling reasons to re-think that practice. Here’s a thought provoking statement for me: “If Jesus saw hospitality as important enough to demonstrate during his last moments as a free man, shouldn’t we spend our days demonstrating hospitality to our brothers and sisters as well?” ~Amazon Reviewer "Michelle’s book helped me to understand this better and to re-evaluate what I can do to be more like the servant God wants me to be. In addition, the Food for Thought and Group Application sections really helped me to dig even deeper. Unlike other Bible studies, the questions provided truly pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and really consider how I’m living my life. An Invitation to the Table will surely be a book I go back to time and again for inspiration, hope and encouragement. (In fact, I'm rereading it now!) I can't wait to share it with my church group and other friends!" ~Sue Fairchild Look at what people are saying about Mommy, Am I Strong?: "Powerful! Every mommy needs to read Mommy, Am I Strong? to their little boys. Michelle S. Lazurek teaches what every boy needs to know — Strength is more than big muscles. A true super heroes' strength comes from within by doing the really hard things, like saying "I'm sorry." To top off Lazurek's strong message, Scott Pinks' illustrations portray the lead character, David, as a boy with an artificial leg. There's nothing artificial about David as he learns a lesson the world needs to realize." ~Elaine W. Miller, International Speaker and Author of We All Married Idiots: Three Things You Will Never Change About Your Marriage and Ten Things You Can www.SplashesofSerenity.com Look at what people are saying about Daddy, Am I Beautiful?: "Delightful! Daddy, Am I Beautiful? helps little girls understand that a Princess dress and perfect hair is not what makes them beautiful. Rather, Michelle S. Lazurek teaches truth — true beauty exists in each of us when we show God's love from the inside out. I loved the illustration that we are beautiful even if our skin is green and we have spaghetti and meatballs for hair. This is a book each little girl must read. Daddy, Am I Beautiful? just might change their lives." ~Elaine W. Miller, International Speaker and Author of We All Married Idiots: Three Things You Will Never Change About Your Marriage and Ten Things You Can www.SplashesofSerenity.com Here are some Reviews of Becoming the Disciple Whom Jesus Loved: Discover Your Character in God's Love Story: "This book is filled with gems that provide insight into not only the authors personal walk likened to John's, but of course John himself and his amazing relationship with Jesus. As I read it touched familiarity with experiences and insights of my own as well as new ones presented by the author. I found the process that describes this loving relationship and where it led/can lead refreshing. I found myself wanting others to also read this story. There were several points where I thought, I'm glad she was able to put that into words. John, Michele, You and I...Jesus calls our name and we can be His disciples." "I was taken in by this book from the first page. The invitation to read Michelle's story, her journey, her walk. Michelle finds her story in growing close to God by walking and understanding John's plight as a disciple of Jesus. This book is delivered in such a way that in blends with great detail her life here on earth and her deep desire to confront her Christian faith. What was very easy to do was to better understand my journey with God by holding onto Michelle's hand walking through her journey. I encourage all ladies and even men to pick this book up and read it today --- you will find yourself in chapters of love, humor, sadness, and reality. Thank you Michelle Lazurek for letting me be one of the first to read your inspiring story. This book should be a staple in any women's course, bible study or just for your own private reading. I am yearning for her next book --- please let it not be too long." "I really loved the book and the way the author has a relationship to God. One great thing is the author uses her own life experiences to discover what it truly means to be loved by Jesus and to bring him into her live when she was struggling with many difficulties of life. I really like the way the author adds questions at the end of each chapter to make you think and understand your personal relationship with God and and how you can become one with Jesus. Over all I give it a 5 star rating . I really can not wait to see what the author will write in any of her other books if she will even have any. Great Job!!!!!" "I loved how Michelle shared her own personal life story with her readers. She was so transparent and I appreciated her honesty. I was able to relate to her on many levels. She vocalized that God can use us and loves us no matter what our life may bring. God wants to live though us. This book was both encouraging and informative!" |
