The directions, side notes are helpful with good organization and easy to follow recipes. I did not see any hard to find ingredients to prepare recipes because most are pantry staples.<br />
<br />
I chose the Three-Bean Slow Cooker Chili to prepare since it was raining outside and seemed the perfect time for something nice and warm. The flavor was good and tasty with the homemade bread I prepared.<br />
<br />
You have to go it alone as far as how things are supposed to look because there are no pictures except at the beginning of every chapter (mostly ingredients). I posted pictures of the chili recipe and believe me it was good! I recommend this book to persons wanting nutritious meals prepared at home with little fuss and time.<br />

Whole Food Vegan Baking has five chapters with Chapter 1
covering Baking without Eggs, Baking without Milk, Flours, and Natural Sweeteners,
and Essential Tools. Chapters 2 through 5 are filled with scrumptious desserts
from cookies and pies to bread and tarts. The cookbook concludes with The Dirty
Dozen and Clean Fifteen, Conversion Charts, Weights of Common Whole Food Baking
Ingredients, and Ingredient Substitutions. The last two sections are very
helpful and useful with excellent information for vegan baking. </div>

Recipes I plan to prepare are 10-Minute Whole Wheat Biscuits,
and since I like certain cookies, I tested the Oatmeal Raisin, and Coconut Cookies recipes (yay).The Oatmeal Raisin cookies were simply delicious that I cooked them again a week later. The Coconut Cookies were moist and chewy, the best coconut cookies I have ever tasted thus far. I might try my hand at
the Healthy Carrot Cake with Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting. The pictures are posted below.<br />

pasta.</div>

the joy, happiness, and love baking offers.â</div>

information regarding how to bake, and what you should know about the needs of
your pantry and refrigerator. Kitchen
tools, baking equipment, and how to use recipe and baking lingo are also
included.</div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Instructions were organized and easy to follow with no hard to
find ingredients. The sidebar tips are helpful, but clarity was sometimes confusing
with missing information such as, âcoat <i>another
</i>large bowl with olive oilâ when there was no earlier mention of coating
anything. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
This book has achieved its goal because of the in-depth
information in Chapter 1: Welcome to the World of Baking, and Chapter 2: Fundamental
Skills. There are a few very useful photographs showing how to separate eggs,
cutting in, and folding. Both novices
and seasoned cooks and bakers can enjoy the information and recipes. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
I am not a baker but using this cookbook was very helpful in
my attempt to prepare the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies and Easy Garlic
Parmesan Knots recipes. The cookies were not done completely in the middle,
which will not stop me from attempting to bake them again. The Easy Garlic
Parmesan Knots were almost perfect, except for the bottoms. They burned a
little because I did not have the parchment paper called for in the recipe. </div>

This cookbook is separated into two sections, Part One:
Getting Started with Chapter 1 explaining why you should go plant-based and
Cooking with Oil (really without) on page 4, and Chapter 2 containing shopping
lists and sample menus. There is a vitamin chart listing vegetables to eat that
are rich in nutrients and a chart for some foods to eat âinstead of this, eat
thatâ on page 15. A good cookbook contains pantry, refrigerator, freezer, and
equipment essentials which this one does starting on pages 16 through 19. Part
Two: The Recipes has Chapter 3 through Chapter 8 with the titles of Entrees, Smoothies
and Beverages, and Sauces, Dressings, and Dips to name a few.<br />
<br />
Two recipes that caught my eye are Sautéed Collard Greens on
page 63, and White Bean and Chickpea Hummus on page 133. I am a hummus lover
and fortunately have the ingredients in my cupboard of staples. I like collard greens also and usually prepare
in my slow cooker, but decided to try this sautéed recipe in a saucepan.<br />
<br />
The White Bean and Chickpea Hummus after tasting was a little bland so I added additional fresh lemon juice, onion and garlic powders, a pinch of kosher salt and a few roasted red bell pepper. The Sauteed Collard Greens were very tender and tasteful.</div>

I am recommending this plant-based cookbook for any person
interested in preparing plant-based meals for a simpler and healthier eating
lifestyle. There are plenty of interesting recipes to prepare for a taste test.
Get ready, set, and go!</div>

their home kitchen is full of numerous tasty recipes that are healthy and may
be prepared within a bare minimum of time. The photography provided by Thomas
J. Story is simply beautiful that has me wanting to eat the sandwich off the
front cover and take a fork to the avocado dish on the back cover. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
The Essential Cookbook for Men has nine chapters with
Recommended Food Brands, Measurement Conversions, and an Index in the end of
the cookbook. There are sections such as Introduction to the Kitchen, Gear
Guide, Pantry Essentials, Grocery Store Guide, and basics to include in the
pantry. Villacorta has compiled easy recipes with easy ingredients that have
prepping and cooking times reduced to a minimum. </div>

<div class="Arial14">
Here are my two favorites I will be preparing and posting
pictures at least one of the two (even though I am a woman, smile): Stir-Fry Beef Sandwich and California-Style Stuffed Bell Peppers. I do recommend this cookbook for men who want
to prepare easy home-cooked meals with as less time as possible. Eventually,
you will be able to graduate to more complex homemade meals.<br />
<br />
I prepared the Stir-Fry Beef Sandwich and forgot to take a picture. This is a very flavorful sandwich and easy to prepare recipe. The leftover mixture was placed in the freezer for a later date. I guess the wonderful smell and taste made me forget about the photograph for my post! (smile)</div>

Shannon Epstein explains what the Mediterranean Diet consists
of and what to eat a lot of, eat some of, eat less of, and what to eat none of
in consecutive order. Epstein includes a food pyramid with first section
containing fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, and spices. Also discussed are
the health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet and lifestyle.<br />
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
The cookbook is divided into nine chapters with Chapter 1
dedicated to Mediterranean slow cooking. Chapters 2 through 9 include soups,
rice and pasta, lamb, beef and pork, and desserts. Measurement conversions,
resources and a recipe index conclude the slow cooker cookbook. </div>

<div class="Arial14">
My tester recipe of choice is Chicken with Olive and Capers on
page 105 and Greek Fasolakia (Green Beans) on page 71, but I prepared the green
beans in a skillet instead of a slow cooker for timing purposes. This recipe
was easy to prepare and uses staple ingredients and spices that should be in
any cooks cupboard or pantry. The flavor was quite tasty and very filling. I
paired it with Turmeric Rice (from The Complete Clean Eating Cookbook by Laura
Ligos).<br />

The only
recipes I knew were fried fish with cornmeal or baked in the oven. After
reading this fish and seafood cookbook, I have learned there are numerous ways
to prepare any fish or seafood meal with confidence. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Terri Dien shares the âtruth about mercuryâ in fish; what to
know about the smell of fish and whether it is fresh; the best fish and
seafood, and what to look for when buying fresh or frozen fish. She also shares
âbuy seafood only in months with an ârâ in it; itâs for good reason (page
10).â Dien includes what equipment is
needed for preparing these meals and how to remove pin bones from fish fillets.
Information on how to build flavor with
âfats and oils; citrus and acid; and herbs and spicesâ along with âa note on
variations.â</div>
<div align="center" class="Arial14" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
There are ten chapters with measurement conversion, resources,
references, and index references concluding this wonderful seafood cookbook.
Not being a fan of frsh tuna, mackarel, trout or mussels I decided to
concentrate on the fish I do like and chose a recipe from Chapter 5: Tilapia
and prepared Tilapia Piccata. The reason I chose this recipe is because I love
Chicken Piccata and decided it would be just as good as the chicken
version. Well, I was not wrong in this
decision. I prepared this dish and fell in love immediately. I did my own
variation and created a âsignature version of my own.â As I write this portion of my review, I am
smiling and very proud of myself. I have
included a short video of the outcome that I posted my Facebook page receiving
nice compliments. I believe I will start
doing this on a regular basis to encourage people to start or increase their
cookbook shelves. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Other recipes I intend to prepare are: </div>
<div class="Arial14">
Roasted Salmon with Compound Garlic Butter; Salmon Fillet
Provencale En Papillate;</div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">
Tilapia in Mustard Sauce; Shrimp
Rumaki; Crab Cakes; Clams Casino Manhattan Clam Chowder; Tilapia Piccata (I
made this and it was simply delicious). I forgot to take a picture of this great recipe dish.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="Arial14">
I definitely recommend <i>The
Big 10 Fish & Seafood Cookbook </i>for all seafood lovers who prepare their
own meals. You will some familiar recipes and new recipes to test and evaluate.
Bon Appetit!</div>

reference for those interested in cooking healthy meals. Chapter 1 brings tips
for adventurous eaters, pantry staples, and kitchen equipment. Chapters 2

Ingredients, One Pot or Skillet, and Slow Cooker.</div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
This is a good family cookbook that enhances the reduction of
prep and cooking times and will be a great addition to any home cookbook shelf.
</div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Recipes ready for my testing that caught my eye are Avocado
Bean Burritos, Avocado Chicken Burgers with Sweet Potato Coins, and Pork Chops
and Potatoes with Creamy Dijon-Spinach Sauce. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br />
I prepared the Pork Chops and Potatoes recipe that has
excellent flavor and a smooth and creamy sauce.
The Dijon mustard and parmesan cheese made the sauce absolutely
delightful.<br />

<div class="Arial14">
Let the learning begin! The Introduction section (page viii)
you will learn of the four main varieties of pastry dough, Pie Dough; Puff
Pastry; Yeast Dough; and Choux Pastry Dough. I have never learned to bake cakes
and pastries from scratch and so I began my newfound journey (smile).</div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Starting in Chapter 1 are the âmaster ingredients of pastryâ:
fat, flour, sugar, yeast, salt, water, and eggs. Do you know the secrets for a
perfect pastry? Temperature is one of the answers. You learn the basic methods
of common baking used in this cookbook and very useful equipment. Included are
measurement conversion charts, resources, a glossary of pastry baking terms. Chapters
2 through 5 provide numerous tasty recipes waiting to be prepared. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Chapter 2: Pie Dough section introduces several sweet and a
few savory surprises such as Bourbon-Peach Hand Pies, Raspberry Rugelach, and
Beef Empanadas. Chapter 3: Puff Pastry has recipes for Breakfast Pizza, Aussie
Sausage Rolls, and Classic Butter Croissants. Chapter 4: Yeast Dough has
Cinnamon Monkey Bread, Asiago Cheese Bread, and Mallorca Sweet Bread. Chapter
5: Choux Dough has Churros with Mexican Chocolate Sauce, French Crullers, and
Chicken Salad-Stuffed Gougeres. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
There are plenty recipes to experiment with as a beginner
pastry maker. I tried the Cinnamon Raisin and Walnut Pinwheels that were not
too bad for my first time. The puff pastry did not quite turn out as I wanted
it, but I later learned after watching a baking show contest where I went
wrong. I did not keep my butter cold as I pin rolled and turned my dough. It is
okay, as I intend to tackle this beginning fete again!<br />

<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
I prepared the Cinnamon Monkey Bread and Sweet Yeast Rolls recipes. The Cinnamon Monkey Bread was very tasteful and I loved it. The Sweet Yeast Rolls tasted better than dinner rolls from the grocery market. I will definitely make these again and again.<br />

herbalism, The Starter Pantry, and Herbal preparations explaining tisane,
diffusion, decoction, infusion, tincture, acetum, tonics, and elixir usage.
Part Two: Chapters 4-10 contains recipes for Common Ailments, Emotional
Well-Being, and Personal Care naming a few.</div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Included are a Glossary which is useful, that explains the
listed properties for herb use. The Resources and References section lists
books, magazines, supplies, websites, and educational herbal schools for purposes
that are more informational. The Ailment Index is helpful for looking up aches
and pains you may want to address for herbalism ingredients. </div>
<div class="Arial14">

<div class="Arial14">
You will need a dictionary as I did to understand some of the
properties listed under each herb. Overall,
this is an excellent reference book for those wanting to get started in
herbalism, even though it is a learning process. I did not try any of the
recipes in this book because there were far too many herbs in the recipes I wanted
to test that I could not easily get a hold. </div>

The Dream Interpretation Handbook is a non-fiction reference
for persons who wish to interpret the meanings of their dreams. Karen Frazier
came to teaching dream interpretation after numerous people asked to have their
dreams interpreted. It is well organized and has numerous resources for your
use. Frazier suggests using additional dream dictionaries along with her
teachings for even further understanding would prove useful.</div>
<br />
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
There is information on the different opinions of dream
interpretation from ancient Egyptians, Grecians, Chinese, and Sigmund Freud.
Mention of Carl Jung, Calvin Hall, Jr., Ann Faraday, David Foulkes, and Edgar
Cayce are also included.</div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
The Dream Interpretation Handbook is broken down into two
parts with sub-chapters. Part I-Interpreting Dreams have three chapters: On
Dreaming: The Spiritual and the Scientific; Variations, Archetypes, and
Symbols; The Interpretive Process. Part II-Dream Dictionary: How to Use; Animal;
Items/Things; Plot/Action. </div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
A few things I found was that on an average, you have at least
four to six dreams a night but will not always remember what the dreams were or
remember dreaming. Many people believe the dream of falling and hitting the
ground that you will die. This is an untrue assumption many have believed in for
years. Overall, this is a good book for dream interpretation if you are looking
for such information. </div>

âWhat is healing for
one, is not healing for all.<br />
This resonated with me on a deep level,<br />
because I
saw that determining what one needs<br />
really comes down to listening to your body.â</div>

<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
Ayurvedic is a medical, philosophical, and spiritual science
that originated in India approximately 5, 000 years ago. This cookbook has recipes
that adhere to the Ayurvedic diet according to your body type according to your
dosha (a force that governs your actions, physical characteristics,
personality, emotions, and mental functioning). There is a questionnaire to
distinguish which dosha is in alignment with you mentally and physically. </div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
There are explanations in depth about the Ayurvedic way of
eating for health and well. Each dosha is explained in detail, when and what to
eat, the six tastes with its energy level and health properties. The cookbook
also lists foods to avoid, your Ayurvedic Kitchen essentials and a seasonal
chart for eating. </div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
The recipes are easy and simple to prepare but some of the
ingredients will be a little hard to find unless you shop in an Indian food
store, herbal or organic health establishment. There are plenty of wellness
recipes for just about every ailment you can think of that is very useful. âGood
Forâ under each recipe lists different healthful suggestions for use. There are
several recipes I intend to prepare and try for energy, hydration, and
inflammation and I suggest you try them at least once.</div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: left;">
I highly recommend this cookbook to EVERYONE to use one or
more of these recipes. </div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="Arial14">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-775cJU4R_uU/XYWzWJ6PkMI/AAAAAAAAEMs/xqwiOylANyo7V3jJWCATrANmcYOtB167gCEwYBhgL/s1600/The%2BFriar%2527s%2BLantern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="314" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-775cJU4R_uU/XYWzWJ6PkMI/AAAAAAAAEMs/xqwiOylANyo7V3jJWCATrANmcYOtB167gCEwYBhgL/s400/The%2BFriar%2527s%2BLantern.jpg" width="262" /></a></div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="Arial14">
The Friarâs Lantern is written in an interactive format where
the reader is able to choose the next step in which the book will advance. The
genre is intertwined with a behavioral science participant who is a juror in a crime
drama trial. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
There is a question I would like to put in the forefront. Why
is there an option if, in some instances, the conclusion is the same? The
narration and descriptions are heavy and at times a little excessive but
definitely gives influential visual and clear pictures of your surroundings. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Reading through this story was a little difficult for me
because there were quite a few ambiguous words that I did not understand.
Therefore, I was constantly looking up definitions, which put a damper in the
beginning two chapters. For example, I looked up â<i>extrapolationâ </i>and it<i> </i>is
not a word.</div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
The book did however achieve its goal, but could place
interactive options in a few better places. The content is interesting along
with its concluding chapter that is convincing. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Overall, this is a good story with a nice approach to the
intermingling of the court trial and I do recommend you take the time to read
it. Those interested in crime dramas and behavioral science drama would love
this story. </div>

everyday favorite. Linda Kurniadi shares her suggestions for needed cooking
equipment and kitchen staples. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
Kurniadi added a section on the Dirty Dozen and the Clean
Fifteen that lists the small amount of genetically modified fruits and
vegetables with pesticides such as sweet corn, papaya, and summer squash. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, included in this cookbook is a Measurement
Conversion Chart that is very helpful for those of us who need a little help in
converting from ounces to millimeters. The only drawback, no pictures of the
meals you are creating to compare with the final preparation.</div>
<div class="Arial14">

<div class="Arial14">
Now, let us get to the meat and potatoes of the cookbook. Here

Taylor Ellingson has compiled many recipes for the cook who
wants to save time without losing quality in a meal. She has included sections
on Cooking Hacks 101 guidelines, essential equipment, and gadgets to have in
your kitchen that will enhance your cooking experience. There are many
interesting recipes that I will be embarking on with chef hatâs in tow, and
there are some restaurant standards that all can enjoy. The only drawback I found
was the absence of colorful food photography. I, like many people, would have
found that having the picture to see how my final creation is supposed to look.
This is a new day and age, so I will roll with it. </div>

write a book while staying focused and keep on track. Most importantly,
"preventing self-sabotage," in Chapter Two. </div>
She asks in Chapter
Three: Good Writing Habits, "Do you want to write a book, or don't
you?" ...If your answer is, "Not right now, but maybe later,"
put down this book, because it's not worth your time. When you're ready,
you can always come back to it." Macdonald is not afraid to say put her
book down because she is being straightforward and to the point about serious
writing, and for this, I applaud her honesty.<br />
<br />
<div>
<div class="Arial14">
There are learning opportunities pertaining to writing
routines, creating word count goals, journaling, prioritizing, creating rough
drafts, and contacting beta readers. I have never written a book but am
considering using a journal to jot down ideas just in case I get that urge to
share thoughts on a particular subject.</div>
<div class="Arial14">

Macdonald added three appendixes for resources, tracking your
progress, and creating a reverse outline with two outline sample texts
following right after and a feedback table. </div>

book to keep goal-setters juices flowing from start to the finish line. He
begins with sharing his personal experiences and a simple explanation of
volcanic momentum to peak the readers interest. I placed a few bookmarks to
share with my audience some of the strategies Ring used to help people get back
on their feet and finish their goal. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Strategy #3, Page 71: The #1 Enemy of Momentum: Wasted Time
and How to Avoid It</div>
<div class="Arial14">
All of us waste time at one time or another for whatever
reason we tell ourselves that it is okay. Well, it is not okay. During this
down-time you can accomplish small or large goals depending on how much time is
wasted. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Strategy #4, Page 77: The Importance of Community for
Sustaining Momentum</div>
<div class="Arial14">
Ever heard of âit takes a village?â This strategy suggests you
can seek out a mentor, join a mastermind group in addition to giving back to
others. You can discuss goals with a friend or family member over coffee to get
feedback and criticism on your basic idea. </div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
âPeople make things happen. People change the world. Get
involved with other people and you will blow the lids off all your goals.â (page
85) Further into the book, Jordan Ring
asks the question âAre you willing to bet on you?â(page 125) There are bonuses
included by signing up through email: </div>

I recommend to all persons wasting time doing nothing to read
this motivational book. I appreciate the
time and effort Ring put into this book because I followed a few goal settings
and got back on track with my book blog. I am not going to say which ones I used,
you will have to read for yourself. Believe me, it is worth it and feels great
to get those âvolcanic momentumâ juices
flowing again.</div>

incorporates bible scriptures, personal experiences, and learning
opportunities. Each of the six chapters begins
with an introduction followed by five days of study in one week. Every day the bible
study ends with a âPrayer for the Dayâ that the participant reads and is
encouraged to create prayer of their choosing. Lastly, the âJournaling Promptâ is
where questions are asked of the reader to prepare a written response.</div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
In Week 2 â Day 2, you are introduced to the.âSOAP study method
of engaging with Scripture.â SOAP is
Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. The study guide also includes
poems and prayers from people of different backgrounds such as a bishop, a
Christian King and a Christian Author.</div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Dingman explores the uneasiness of not knowing where your
future is heading, but gives reassurance to Christian followers through discussion
and studying bible scripture. She discusses the difference between gnosis (what
is known-knowledge) and epignosis (what is definitely known-definite and full
knowledge).</div>
<div class="Arial14">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Laura Dingmanâs this I KNOW is a great way to study the Bible
and either begin or continue journaling. I recommend to all bible study persons
on an individual and or group setting. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14">
Included in the journal is theâ Passion Week: Who Said What? Quizâ

Bible scriptures on each page encourages what you believe to be your beliefs
and views on the subject and or topic at hand. The page header captions are
cleverly written with style form the inspiration of Bible scripture. Naming a
few: Born to Die, Betrayed with a Kiss, No Fault in This Man, It is Finished,
and Why are You Weeping? Further, into the journal, there is mention of eight
crowns, being one of righteousness and another of knowledge. </div>

renowned âBaptist pastor and teacher for over 60 yearsâ (inside back cover). He
has taken on the task of adding his interpretations of Bible Scripture through
âIntroducingâ (each book of the Bible); âDiscerning the Message,â along with
âApplying the Messageâ and âLiving the Message.â I chose a small scripture to
give an idea of what was learned while perusing the The Vines Expository Bible.
</div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">
(15)
âwho show the work of the law written in their <b>hearts</b>, their </div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="Arial14" style="margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;">
<i>their </i>thoughts accusing or else excusing
(<i>them)</i> (16) in the day when God will
judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.â</div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">
Discerning
the Meaning â Romans 2:15</div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: red;">Heart </span>â </b>The
original form of the Greek word <i>kardia</i>,
means âto quiverâ or âto palpitate,â denoting the action of the heart muscle. Our
word <i>cardiac</i> has its origins here.
This word refers specifically to the heart organ but more generally to the
center of life and the seat of thoughts, morality, and emotion. <i>Kardia </i>makes no separation between the
physical boy and the soulâboth are encapsulated in one word. All the actions of
oneâs inner life take place in the heart, including personality, mental
activity, feelings, understanding and will (Rom. 2:15). The Lord sees the
thoughts and intentions of the heart, and he dwells within our heats through
faith.</div>
<div class="Arial14" style="margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">
Pastor Vines shares his knowledge
on applying discernment to scripture and explains in a way that is easily
understood. âApplying the Message â Romans 3:22)â âŠSo, rather than asking, do
you believe, my question to you is in whom do you believe? Have you placed your
trust in Jesus Christ?</div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Arial14" style="text-align: justify;">
The Vines Expository Bible is a good
Bible to add to any collection already in use and an excellent addition to your
regular Bible(s) and recommended to all seeking deeper knowledge and
discernment of Bible Scripture. </div>
