Ex-Muslim is Author Naeem Pazal’s autobiography. In his book Mr. Pazal shares many accounts spanning from his childhood through to where he is in life today. He grew up in Kuwait and like most there was Muslim, but through a series of amazing miracles Naeem and ALL his siblings come to accept Jesus as their personal Savior. Throughout this book you watch not only Naeem and his family become believers in Jesus but you watch him metamorphasize into a mature believer. He is honest in the struggles that brought him to the place of maturity he finds himself today!

I enjoyed this book greatly, though it did take a long time to read (it’s quite wordy) yet still compelling. I learned a great deal about life in Kuwait and struggles facing believers in that area of the world.

I found myself captivated by his testimony and the emotions he was able to capture in reference to the reaction of his still Muslim parents.

There were moments of me struggling through theological points but in the end I really had to give it to God and say, this is his testimony, who am I to say God doesn’t do these things. It’s riveting to hear the battle for his soul and after reading this book and his journey and his ministry I have no doubt that God is going to use Naeeem, his family and this book is a very big way!

“This Is My Life ” Planner was offered free to review on a FB PAGE I frequent!

 

I loved its layout right from the beginning, but I’m getting ahead of myself

This planner is for purchase at www.avirtuouswoman.org.

just click  “This is My Life”

I used a different printable PDF planner last year and by the end of the year it frustrated me quite a bit. I had to have a page printed for everyday of the week! It got to be quite cumbersome and by the end I ditched the whole thing. I also had to fill in EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! Talk about time consuming…yikes!

Let’s talk options: you can choose between black and white or color.
I chose black and white only because we were out of color ink! No biggie.

There are add -on options as well
Budget planner
Holiday bundle
Kitchen planner

And many other options…you can also purchase it printed and bound for you!

So a couple of REALLY COOL THINGS.

1. Customer service with Melissa is GREAT’. There was a slight issue I picked up on and within 24 hours….FIXED!

2. One of the things I asked her if she had (she didn’t at the time) was a blogging add-on…..did you see the VERY FIRST ITEM ON MY ADD-on list. (AND ITS FREE). Soooooo as soon as I’m finished here guess what I’ll be doing!!!!!

3. If you sign up for blog updates, the kitchen planner is free too!

4. Everything is super affordable! Buy what you like skip what you don’t need! Love this!  AND all purchases are a one time purchase!   You buy the files once and print off year after year!  LOVE THAT!

5. It’s cut my planning time down to a quarter of what it was just a few short months ago. I literally write in what’s coming up this week. Menu plan accordingly (because that pages is right next to your weekly plan!). No flipping back and forth! Most of my tasks are already there for me. So no re-writing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Just check it off!

6. One of the super neat features of binding it yourself is this….I added notes pages (as many as I wanted between each week). I thought this was a cool way to capture some thoughts about my weeks, which I could then include in scrapbooks/ blogposts/ journals…and so on

7. I dressed up my black and white cover with scrapbook paper and rub ons making it all my own!

There really is so much I love about this planner! So much versatility.
I will definitely purchase from Melissa in the future!

So there were 3 cons but since she met my suggestion about blog add ons I only have 1. I wish there was extra areas provided to write in weekly items in the check off area. This is no big deal really because the space she did give is enough to write in under the chores given.

the second con is nothing big either but a spot to check off for doing your daily bible reading would be cool too but again not a big thing!   I wrote it in in the afore mentioned space!

Here are the rest of my snapshots of my planner!   I’m in full swing using it and love how versatile it is!

Thanks Melissa for being so helpful and granting me the privilege to review your planner!
