Manna for Mamma: Wisdom for Women in the Wilderness (2007)
ISBN-10: 0974802042
ISBN-13: 978-0974802046
Reviewer: Locksie, ARC Book Club Inc.

Dr. Congress has penned an eye opening book that caught my full attention from the very first page. Referencing familiar stories and scriptures from the bible; Dr. Congress not only gives a clear understanding of a few specific stories from the bible, but she identifies the common thread between today's personal experiences women face (marriage, parenting, self-esteem, men) and the wilderness conditions women AND men faced so long ago.

This book is not preachy, it's meant to lift ones spirit and lead us to take a closer look at our situations and know that we are not alone in the wilderness and that Jesus is here as our spiritual nourishment (Manna).

This is an inspirational read ?

Edited by Valerie Coleman for Butterfly Press
ISBN 10: 0978606604
ISBN 13: 9780978606602
Reviewer: Richard R. Blake

This is an anthology of heart warming and heart breaking stories that demonstrate the complexities of making blended families work successfully. The anthology includes practical pointers from sources representing every aspect of blended families.

Dr. Vivi Monroe Congress ("Nothing New Under the Sun") presented a working definition of blended families, illustrations from Biblical families, and an excellent summary of God's design and plan for the family.

The Bankrupt Spirit: Principles for Turning Setbacks into Comebacks (2004)
ISBN: 097480200X
Reviewer: Dian Moore

Vivi Monroe Congress's debut book, The Bankrupt Spirit: Principles for Turning Setbacks into Comebacks, based on Jeremiah 1:10, "See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant," is a tool for women, and men, to refill their bankrupt spirits.

Just as a lack of funds and overspending of dollars can lead to financial bankruptcy, so can the lack of a personal relationship with God lead to a spiritual deficit. Bankrupt(cy), as defined by the author, is being in a state of brokenness and unable to draw effectively from our faith account.

Congress is a gifted wordsmith and immediately places a picture in the reader's mind of how Bondage moves in and steals our joy. Highly recommended for readers of both sexes and the subject matter is explained very well and can easily be understood by young adults through senior citizens.

Today, I prayed and thought of you, and the Lord led me to see that you could use a word of encouragement and rest.

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me?watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
