Wakulla Book Review: "Love, Justice and Power" by Martin Roth


“Love, Justice and Power” by Martin Roth

This is a brief study of the Passover, as recorded in Exodus 12-14. It is very well written and gives great insight in a concise manner. God is portrayed as being a personal God who wants a relationship with us. God is also revealed to desire us to glorify Him through our lives.

Explaining the Passover as a model for the work of Christ, we see that Jesus is the unblemished Lamb that God sacrificed so His judgement could pass over us. The Passover as the means of leading the Israelites out of Egyptian captivity symbolizes Christ Jesus’ sacrifice leading us out of sin’s captivity!

The Love God displayed during the Passover is a mere shadow of the Love God displayed on Calvary. 

The power of God to part the sea and lead Israel through safety before drowning their pursuers is minuscule to the power of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus. In short, the message of Passover is the Message of JESUS!

Excellent study! Four and a half stars! I subtracted a half because I wanted more!!

Wakulla Book Review: He Who Has an Ear, Who the Seven Churches of Revelation are Today, by Laura J. Davis





He Who Has an Ear by Laura J. Davis is a good book! First, it is easy to read. It’s nice to have a religious-type book written so a regular mere mortal can grasp the points being made by the author. The chapters are set up so that questions are anticipated and addressed. Additionally, there are enough historical references to make the chapters interesting, yet not so much detail as to become a bore. In other words, this book strikes a perfect balance. I also found the Scriptural references done in such a way as to communicate the point without becoming oppressive.

The book allows for the reader to ponder not only the churches of today as they related to the churches in Revelation, but it also allows the reader to consider the personal aspects of being a church member and spiritual member of the family of God. There is likely some good food for thought for anyone who reads this book.


I think the author displays a refreshing bravery in “telling it like it is” when she discusses the “wolves” in chapter 12. I was surprised to see some of my feelings about current “big-time” ministries put on paper. While the author, a former Christian singer, may have had health related issues which ended her singing ministry, her work here “sings” to me like one of those old-time gospel songs. This is also the only book about a “Revelation topic” that I have ever enjoyed. Great book! Read it!

Wakulla Book Review: Seventh Dimension - The Castle, Book 3, a Young Adult Fantasy


Wakulla Book Review

Seventh Dimension Series – The Castle,
a Young Adult Fantasy, Book 3



Summary:  Chased by the Romans for crimes he didn't commit, Daniel takes refuge among the crowds headed to Jerusalem for Pesach. There he becomes a witness to the events surrounding and including the death and resurrection of Yeshua.

In a quest for Daniel's soul, demons use lies and temptations to keep these truths from shattering his traditional Jewish beliefs, which say that Yeshua was only a prophet—not the Meshiach promised of old. But God has other plans. Through Yeshua's acts of mercy and love and selfsacrifice, Daniel finally accepts that Yeshua is the Savior of the world.

With a well-hidden twist at the end, Roberts reveals that the Lord's plans for Daniel are only beginning, and that he is far more important to his Jewish brethren—and the world—than initially thought.

Author's purpose:  Through a clear and concise presentation of the 
Passion Week, Judaism is shown that its Meshiach has already come.

Themes: Roberts uses the fulfillment of Old Testament requirements: By his own sacrifice, he became the foretold priest; by his lineage, he sits on the throne as king; and as the one told of by Moses, he was the prophet to come, to prove that Yeshua was the Son of God.


Did I enjoy the book: Yes. As one redeemed, it reaffirmed all I have come to believe and assured me that the rock on which I stand is truly the cornerstone from which the promises spring.

Wakulla Book Review: Every Hill and Mountain by Deborah Heal



A very good ending to a very good series. I most enjoyed the book and the series. It was a well-written book that had some very bad thoughts, that were handled most expertly.

When a person starts to write about the slavery question, and ends up with a book such as one the author has written here, and does a superb job of it, then kudos to her. This lady has my apple to nibble on whenever she desires.

The last few pages of book three did an outstanding job of full disclosure upon the whole series. Outstanding.

This has to be the most bestest three book series I have read in quite some time. Thank you so much for your effort in getting it to me.
