@@ashleyhetherington_ Have u heard about or read Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge? My daughter’s friend wanted her & other girls to read together & then discuss on meetups. My daughter said she started to read it & felt in her spirit she was to stop & she asked me to read the first chapter or two with an open mind & with prayer & see what I thought. Needless to say I would never suggest it. So, at their first meetup several girls spoke up & said they really think much research is needed on this book & why they believed it did not line up scripturally. Any thoughts if u have read? 😊
"Redeeming Love" changed my view on Christian media. I loved the God-Help books, and I love "Worship Music.". I have never been a big fan of Christian Movies, but when a female friend recommended "RL" I was hooked from the first few pages. Hosea has always been one of my favorite books. Such a beautiful picture of God's love for Us. So I will Stand that book forever. I look forward to reading yours as well, Ashley.
@@ashleyhetherington_ Thank you I needed this it is long but if u could pray for me I am struggling with this right now I keep having Christian OCD where I think thoughts that contradict what my heart and soul believes but my mind keeps hearing these voices that tell me that and it's scary I get so scared like I am going to hell because I keep having very evil and dark thoughts which scares me because I don't want to think these thoughts anymore because my heart knows there very wrong but I keep thinking them I know I won't be thrown into hell for these thoughts because God of all people knows my heart and I am a very good Christian who is 15 years old and just wants to tell people about Jesus through her Christian club at school but the enemy is making it really hard i learned on the internet that these thoughts aren't true God loves u and he won't punish you we cleared that but it also states to just keep moving in with my life and ignore them well the problem with me Everytime I think these thoughts my heart almost kinda feels sick like my heart needs to throw up it's like my right and left side are having a war against me my other side is Satan the devil and my otjer side is me and God yelling saying no your a liar god is good he is not the bad guy its very scary because I think wrong or blasphemy thoughts and I think that I am going to hell but I need to remind myself that God looks at the heart and my heart loved him with everything and it's just so hard to shut these voices in my head off. It almost makes me wonder if the devil is attacking me because I am getting closer and closer to having my first Christian meeting is that why he's attacking me is it because he's trying to ruin me emotionally and mentally so I just give up on this club or does this club not have to do why I am going through this regardless of if this is the reason I am not letting the devil win I am going to keep reading the Bible keep helping people in my club grow closer to god and to keep doing what I am doing and not give up but its a scary time because these thoughts I have people tell me to just ignore them not let them bother me but that's where I am struggling I feel like if I don't fight back I don't wrestle with my head back and forth then God will think that I think these thoughts are cool so I struggle to ignore them because I feel like if I start to not care and ignore them he will think that I think those thoughts are true i know this was a long comment but if u read this I appreciate you so much and I could really use so prayers to put my mind at ease because i am truly frightened like never before and I need these th to go away because I can't even sleep well so thank you to everyone who read this and God bless you 💖💖
@@ashleyhetherington_ You should consider reading book two and three if you haven’t done so already. It’s the Mark of the Lion set. It elaborates more on Hadassa’s life and introduces you to new characters. Each book is good on its own, but it’s great as a series.
Love it. I’ve been wanting to get into ready books/ebooks etc but only want to read Christian books. Thank you for this. Can you do more of these book reviews ❤
not exactly a Christian book but I just finished Crime and Punishment and knowing that God's unending love was the one thing that kept one of the main characters going made me so happy. it's such a shame that nearly every religious character in popular media today ultimately loses their faith for something "pragmatic" (I'm looking at you, the Boys).
Hi! It's a must to read "Echo in the darkness " after Voice in the Wind" to see the outcome. Also ," As Sure As Dawn" All three complete the story. LOVE MARCUS AND HADASSAH! POWERDUL BOOKS!!
I'm an Ex- Romance reader lol and let me tell you you, I just read the book Ruth... literally THE BEST strangers to lovers I think I've ever read 😫😫😫😫😫 YALL GOTTA READ IT OMG
Hi Ashley, hope you are well. I ordered your book on audible and looking forward to it when it lands. Just a quick question, how do I get the devotion that you mentioned somewhere. When i went into the link it’s asking for order number. Look forward to hearing from you ❤
My favorite Christian book is Heart of Red Blood of Blue, and I recommend it to everyone! It’s so good!!! Medieval romance and it has its own soundtrack made by the author ❤❤❤💙💙💙
Could you do a “Bible Study with me” video or something where your walking through all the steps that you do and how you know when to take note about something and why. (stuff like that)🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤
I'm starting to get into reading the Bible to start growing my faith and strength. My cousin have inspired me to read it more. Now these thoughts have come into my mind say that im only doing this to please others and not doing this for myself and for Jesus. Now that that is starting to happen I am overthinking it, questioning myself. Any advice, answers, or tips?
No because my mom took me to see the redeeming love movie when I was like 12 and it scarred me so bad, I wouldn’t go into a public bathroom alone for a year.
For Redeeming Love my Nana bought me the book, but my mom took one look at it and said “nope” because she said it had some dirty scenes or something-though maybe I’m wrong and it was a different Christian book
WAIT!! Have you read the rest of the trilogy for Voice of the Wind bc GIRL I just finished the trilogy and I WEPT at the second book. It was SO good!! The third book is SO good too I was already mourning when I was almost finished with it😭💔
I read all francine river novels Michael hosea set standards for me guys. Its the first Christian book i read after meeting jesus ( because before that i read all the wrong ones plus wattpad and inkitt).
Hi Ashley, I wanted to ask you how to resist temptation. I often happen to always commit the same sins and apologize after a week because I hate always apoloziging for the same things. I hope you will give me a hand because this has bene happening for a long time. Thankyou so much for wat you ❤❤❤
Imma see if my mom can buy these for me . Are they teenage appropriate 😅 I know it's a stupid question but just from curiosity but also so it's not confusing for me. This present darkness I can't read til I'm older it scared me lol
