No One Can Take Your Place


By Sheri Dew

Have you ever wondered if you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing with your life? Maybe you have a testimony of Jesus Christ but aren’t quite sure that he will really help you with your problems. Or, like most of us, maybe you have those days when you just don’t see how you’ll ever measure up.
No One Can Take Your Place is a book that will help you. It will help you catch a glimpse of the power our Father in Heaven wants you to have. It will help you learn how to lay hold upon that power, how to overcome the temptations that stand in the way of your happiness, and how to shine as a leader in the world. It will help you understand who you really are.
True happiness comes from doing what we were meant to do. This book will motivate you to find out what that means for you; it will also inspire you to carry out your unique work on the earth, for truly, no one can take your place.

 

I’ve read a few of Sheri Dew’s books, and all of them are well done and have precious truths in them, but I think this is my favorite so far. The entire book is filled with great things to keep you going, but the last section of the book is where I found the things that were the most precious. It was in this section that she talks about being kind to yourself and seeing yourself as someone who matters to the world, to your friends and family, and especially to God. This is a book especially for women and a great one at that. If you need a gift for a friend that’s struggling with feeling important, this is a great buy. Love it.

 

I give it a 4 out of 5

God Wants a Powerful People


By Sheri Dew

“In this great latter-day battle, the Lord needs every true follower to step forward-in every part of His kingdom-to draw upon and use every gift we’ve been given. There isn’t a week, a day, an hour to lose.”

Sheri Dew’s book is all about becoming a better and more powerful people; with chapters ranging from drawing upon heaven’s power, to the difference between making a mistake and committing a sin. This book has a well deserved title. It is powerful. I’ve always enjoyed reading her books simply because she is so down-to-earth and explains things plainly. She uses scriptures freely and points out all the time that we mortals aren’t perfect and never will be in this life, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be a powerful force for good on this earth while we’re here. To me, the best part of this book was the last chapter about becoming a true follower of Jesus Christ. If you’ve read Sheri’s other books, you’re sure to like this one.
