Author: Robby Dawkins Publisher: Chosen Books Pages: 256 pages Buy on Amazon What this book is about: Robby Dwakins, a pastor of Vineyard Church wrote about various real stories that he and other people experienced when they let God worked through them. From casting out demons, healing people, to raise dead people. What I like about this book: I like how Robby was being honest about his own weaknesses. He didn't write it as if he was some kind of a super religious pastor. But he wrote it as an ordinary person who had weaknesses, doubts and fears like we are. Just as the main message in this book that God doesn't look for qualified people so He can use them. He is looking for people who are willing and available with all the weaknesses and brokenness. What I read here were stories of ordinary people like me (and you) with their own struggles, weaknesses and problems. But they experienced God and were being used by God because they opened themselves to be us...

I live in a small city named Solo in Central Java, Indonesia. Coffee manual brewing methods are something new in my country. I'm not sure when it began, but I started to learn the methods last year. I don't really remember how and when I started to like coffee. Maybe I like coffee because it is usually offered in various restaurants, and street food vendors in Indonesia besides tea. You will easily find both of them in my country. But most coffees that are served, drank and sold in my city mixed with other ingredients like for example corns. I just found out about it recently. The reason coffee farmers mix coffee with other ingredients is so that they can sell coffee cheaply. If they sell coffee beans without other ingredients, the beans will be expensive and most people probably cannot afford it. And of course, instant coffee is popular and common here. Since I was a teenager, I liked to drink instant coffee. Why not? It was cheaper, came with various flavours. Real cafes th...

What I learned in 2016 This year will end in one day (at least in the place where I live) and we will enter 2017. There were a lot of things I learned in 2016. This year has been a roller coaster of emotions for me. It has been a brutal year for me, no kidding. I learned that God wanted me to be honest with my emotions, in front of Him. I was trapped in my way of thinking, and  assumptions  that some how I could manipulate Him if I just said the right words.  If I pleased Him by saying the things He wanted to hear, then I would get what I wanted.  It's a silly way of thinking.  Another wrong way of thinking was that if I was being honest to God about what I felt,  that God would be surprised and admonished me like my parents are used to do. You know, like those others religious people who have good intentions, I imagined God would say that it's not OK to feel that way or this way. It's not OK to think like this or like that. Sometimes I was struggling ...
