Thanks for sharing your testimony it’s so beautiful

Sister, try attending Divine Liturgy. God bless you.

I just thrifted a book haul of 532 books for 88 dollars for my book giveway at applebees( 3701 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA 70002). I am the host there. I have given away over 3100 books for babies kids teens and adults in 10 months. Let's get this generation reading. I document the giveway on my youtube channel.❤😊

The John Piper was one of the first big book I read from him. If you’re looking for a testimonial book about the journey from Islam to Christianity I suggest Seeking Allah finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi. One of my all time favorites.

Enjoy the John stott one! I really like his writing style!

Sister, thank you for this video. Love to hear your testimony and how God has taught you truth about himself. Praise Jesus for his work of salvation! Love to hear your reflections on the prosperity gospel and suffering, and thanks be to God that he gives us himself as comfort in our suffering, and that our joy abounds in him no matter what we are experiencing. Being an MT the past few years has grown my faith and ministry so much, praying that it will do the same for you, and thanks be to him that you have this time to devote to serving him!

What kind of story is it? You remind me of the Christian authors I know on Instagram and I wondered if you knew any of them.

Amen. This passage is one that sounds like a song 🎶✝️

Thank you for sharing your testimony, it has helped me to open my heart to God 💗

I love how you act on your convictions in terms of the content you’ve put out. Super inspiring, genuinely Gods clearly moving in you soooo much

So so beautiful, your voice is so calming also!

Thank you so much, for pointing out the flaws us Followers of Christ endure. Yes, the Bible helps us build a Christ-like and a positive mindset, but it can also be convicting because it shows that God is holding us accountable for our sins (in THE BEST WAY possible). May God bless you Lydia, and thank you so much for this video!! I really needed this..❤🙏

Thanks for posting this lovely soul!! I loved listening to your story <3

I resonate with so many parts of your testimony. I fell for the WOF movement early on in my Christian walk & it caused me confusion. I’m so glad that God rescued me from the false teachings I used to believe🙌🏻💕

“God's ultimate goal is not our comfort but his glory and our transformation into the like-ness of Jesus.” Amen!! (Thank you for sharing this beautiful video, Lydia😊)

Aww thank you so much for making this video Lydia! As someone who struggles with disordered anxiety (alongside OCD, which is a whole other ball game in of itself), this was so encouraging and honestly what I've needed to hear. The whole idea of accepting anxiety but trusting God throughout it resonates so much with me, and is something I'm really working on. It's okay to feel anxiety. We don't have to try and make it just go away. God's with us through it all, and it will pass. He's so loving and understands everything we're experiencing, beyond even our own understanding. I also love looking back at 2 Corinthians and Paul's thorn in his flesh, reminding me of just how sufficient God's grace is in our weaknesses and struggles. He's so good! Also, if you're looking for any other Christian resources on anxiety and mental health, I've found a lot of Mark DeJesus' resources (he has a TH-cam channel) to be quite insightful and helpful along this journey. Anyway, thank you so much for this video and I'll definitely have to give this book a read! :)

Appreciate you talking about this! Not something we discuss as Christians beyond “just pray!” Or “read this verse”! As someone with the same “disorder” as you

Love it, a wonderful moment at the Leaders' Conference!

Hey Lidia, I really want to and NEED to read the book by Graham Benyon but unfortunately, I can't buy myself for a couple of reasons; one of them being we don't have it in my country, and we also don't have credit cards. Do you happen to know if there is way to get the book for free? And blessings! Keep up the good work!

Put all your trust and fears in the hands of god and our lord Jesus. They will guide you and your true self will awaken. Prayer and meditation are key, and be creative learn a musical instrument it will help. Also get into nature, a walk in a forest or camping. And less screen time, put them phones down and stay away from world news if you can't change it don't worry about it, it's all in Gods hands. The holy spirit is your friend and guide, he is always with you. Listen to his wisdom. God bless 🙏

Oh Lyds. You are such an encouragement to me and to so many in our church family. Your prayerfulness challenges me to be more prayerful and your walk with the Lord is beautiful. What a testimony your life is to God's grace. Can't wait to see where he takes you on your journey with him.xxx

The Book of Common Prayer really helped my anxiety. Daily Psalms are an integral part of my routine, to keep myself rooted in the Word and to live out of that Peace. Thank you for sharing, Lydia, God Bless!

OMGOODNESS IK U FROM GOODREADS UR SO PRETTY LYDIA

God Bless ya Lydia, we all deal with something, but God is there for us to help us through it all.

Wow!!!! That is so gloriously glorifying to God!!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video!!❤️

I remember singing a lot hymns growing up in Church. Gosh I miss it so much❤ (Christmas was the BEST time🎉)

What tabs are you using? Mine always cover the words but yours look like they dont!

Lydia I met your sister this weekend! I recognised her from one of your vlogs 🤣 so cool

Wonderful truth.❤

great review and commentary

Thank you for sharing your testimony, God is Good!!! 🙏

Woosh! 😍 I forgot how much I used to bindge read books by Nigerian authors back in college. I learned so much about the culture 🤩😍

This was so, so thorough! Thank you, Lydia! I was intrigued when you said you noticed the author acknowledged God in the back of the book. I tend to get really excited when that happens, and have let that influence how I feel about reading specific books, but even then we have to be so careful. That acknowledgement doesn’t always mean true faith or a biblical worldview. We must always read with discernment as Christ-followers, and I appreciate that you are encouraging all of your viewers to do so!!! ❤️

I loved this book review. I can't wait to read, "The Girl with the Louding Voice." ❤☺

Can't beat it, but especially on electric trains and buses! Top tier experience in South Wales 😆🙌🙌

Lydia you cut out the closing hymn and the altar call. Do better 😂🙌🏽

Disclaimer: almost a year on and I have changed opinions on The Giver of Stars and The Cruel Prince Trilogy. My views can be found in the videos “I Read Adorning the Dark by Andrew Peterson” and “Four Christian Book Recommendations and One to Avoid.” Thanks ❤

I’m so glad I found your channel! You mentioned some secular books that I’ve been wondering if they’d be appropriate to read, so I’ve put them off. Also, I really quickly searched your TH-cam channel for a testimony video, but I wasn’t able to find one, if you have it could you link it please? And if you don’t have one, would you consider sharing one? All the best ❤
