Here is
what others have been saying about The Journey of Tamar:
|
If you have never
understood God or the role that each person in the Godhead plays in your
life, then this book will transform your understanding and bring you to a
place of intimacy with Father, Son and Holy Spirit that you did not know
was possible.
But the book reveals
even more than that. It reveals the true nature and tactics of our enemy,
and the portrayal of Leviathan and his schemes is not only a warning, but
a true training on how to handle the enemy. You will identify with Tamar's
failures and rejoice in her successes.
Not only will you find
yourself identifying with Tamar along this journey, but your eyes will
gaze with wonder upon the many scenes that often tug at your own life's
experiences and failures.
This is a book that you
will want to read in one sitting if time permits, and then go back and
read again and again, just for the wonder of the pictures in it and the
feelings it creates in you. It portrays a journey that you too have been
taking, and reveals to you the destination you too can reach. |

I felt such a peace like I
was actually there embacing the eagle and getting ready see the answers to
all my questions..In my mind...I was thinking...take the chance cause I
have been there and yelled many
times...why am I like this...why can't I be like others...why so much
turning on the inside of me...

Tears broke forth into my
being as I read Tamar. I wanted to e-mail you as soon as I read it, but, I
was to emotional. Tamar touched something deep in my soul. I was brought
back to a memory that I had as a 3-4 yr old child looking up at the stars
and crying out to God. There is so much contained in
what I read... Not just scripture, it brought a flood of the aloneness I
have felt, the emptiness, the out of sorts, and the despair. So many times
I have not understood why I do not fit in. It touched on a lot. I could go
into more....Sulynn |

When Tamar was told that
she has the heart of a warrior, I identified with that. As the Lord
taught me about intercession and warfare, I remember a sense of power that
rose to the surface and I couldn't understand how everyone didn't feel the
same. I wanted to know where the warriors were, those with the heart of
the Lion. I see in myself the heart of a warrior.

I have been frustrated for
about 20 years now as to why I have not been able to do AT ALL what I feel
God has called me to do. And many times I have said, Why can I not just
be normal and go
to church like other people. Why can I not just lay this thing down. Just about the time I make peace with my situation, God comes along with a
Word of encouragement and I am right back where I started. I will say,
that at this point, I am more determined than ever, and whereas I have in
the past
possibly aborted His plan by my words or my lack of actions, this time I
am hanging on like a bulldog. I am searching for ways to be faithful,
even if it is not in the area(s) I believe I am called to. I am totally
willing to "climb on the back of the Eagle", ready to find out why I have
not been able
to fulfil my call.Anon |

I myself have gone through
the purging and healiing and can relate to "The Root". I'm sure there
are
still areas in my heart that still need healing but its in humility that
we are able to confess such things because pride says we are okay and
theres nothing wrong with us. When the sword penetrates there is much
pain as the healing is taking place but as it comes out there is such a
cleansing and one is able to really love those who have hurt them. Awesome stuff!!

| Honestly, after reading
this first story my heart pounded within me with excitement as these
almost identical occurrences have come to me time and time again often,
while in a trance I see myself turn into the form of an eagle hovering
over a globe. The countless prophetic episodes in which I have heard
audible speech and experienced open visions have left me feeling so
unbalanced and unloved. I truly relate to Tamar's experience. Even the
smallest detail, like my age being my limitation.

Date Added : 2003-12-12Title : Sister of Tamar Name : Rosa Sawyer Location : Oklahoma Rating : 5 Review Text : This story is as my own story. The first time I knew that I was not a lost cause was when I found Little Much Afraid in an allagory by Hannah Hurnard in "Hinds Feet on High Places". This book speaks to my spirit just as specifically. I do not want to look in the mirror. For a long time I thought that I was born with a defect. There wasn't a problem with me, I was the problem. Tamar is willing to pay whatever the cost and whatever the direction and distance, to get to the prize. Nothing could cause fear in me except the thought of missing the prize. So, we, Tamar and all who relate to her, must have been born overcomers -- and that is what has made us so different from the general population of the planet. Growing up different, not being able to behave like everyone else, knowing eternal truths from childhood and considering eternity early, we knew we were strangers in this world. Most quote that "they overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony" but we understand in our spirits by the revelation of the Holy One that we also overcome "and they loved not their lives unto death". . Thank you, Colette, for putting the story of the trip of a lifetime that is read by our hearts and encourages us on. |
Date Added : 2009-09-05Title : GREAT!! Name : Kesean Location : Phoenixville,USA Rating : 5 Review Text : This book is an excellent read for those who like to read. Apostle Colette uses a lot of the prophetic principles and put it into a story book. When I read it I couldn't put it down, I read the ENTIRE book in one day. I closed my door and didn't want to come out until I finished it. It will literally suck you into it and she uses pictures, so you really let your imagination run in a good way.
Throughout the book I felt like I just wanted to pray and pray some more because it really puts a fire in you and an expectation to experience God the way Tamar is experiencing God.
SO if you are thinking about buying this book. PLEASE DO!!! It will change your life forever.
In His Love,
Kesean |
Date Added : 2010-01-16Title : If we could rate a 10 this book would have it! Name : d.Yvonne Location : Suwon/Korea Rating : 5 Review Text : Thanks Apostle Colette!
This book has encaptured me if that is such a word. There is never a dull moment. As I am reading it I can see myself in Tamar and it is as if I am standing there walking along with her looking at every scene. This book was most definitely divinely written.
If opportunity presents itself this book could help many people, and could just as well be on New York Time's Best Seller's List without a doubt.
It is worth the cost!
