Strength is the Energy of God!
Della Reese, currently well-known for her role on the TV series, Touched by An Angel, is also an ordained minister. "Her mission is to teach a practical Christianity, which brings love, abundance, strength, and personal growth to all people."
In line with her mission, she is writing twelve books of devotions, one for each month of the year. Strength is the Energy of God! is one of the twelve. Like the others, it has a devotion for each day. It may be used for any month--the devotions are universal, rather than seasonal.
Each day begins with a quotation from the Bible, followed by a brief commentary from Reese. The facing page for each day includes a beautiful full-color photograph, and an affirmation. Each day's devotion is a "daily reminder from Della that we are all connected--to each other and to God."
Strength is the Energy of God! is a small book, but it carries a large and powerful message that the energy of God is within all of us. It's an excellent choice with which to begin your collection of all twelve books. It's also a perfect gift.

Wonderful Inspirational Biography That Teaches, Too.
I remember Della Reese from back when she was a regular on Chico on the Man. Actually, I must remember her from before then, because I remember as a teenager the horror and disgust I felt when she was on Merv Griffin or some talk show like that talking about the glass door she walked through and needing 800 stitches; I remember because not long after that, I nearly walked through a screen door myself. (Mother decided at that point that perhaps I should be tested for eyeglasses; it was discovered that I was badly nearsighted...but I digress.)

Anyway, I recommend this book to anyone who wants a concrete example of how God guides a person if you let Him...there is a tendency to take what a celebrity says with a grain of salt, because of the nature of the business where people willingly lie to promote themselves...I feel this woman speaks the truth as she knows it. This is the first biography I've read in a long time where I had a hard time putting it down. It's written in straight, no-nonsense language, Della's language, and I applaud the choice of co-writer because she did an excellent job of staying out of the book; unfortunately she's not given much credit other than a line or two in the acknowledgement...but as an amateur editor I know that sometimes you can be so caught up in grammar and political correctness that you lose the spirit of the piece...not so here.

I wish Ms. Reese would write another book...one that sort of puts these and instructs the rest of us on how we might be as strong as she is...one that puts her ministry in writing for the benefit of those of us who cannot come to LA and study with her at her church!

Only Della could tell it as it is!!!
I was led to read this book about Della because my husband and mother always spoke of how Della sang in the Paradise club in Idelwild, Michigan. My mother-in-law spoke of knowing Daddy Braggs and I was curious about how she would relate to or even mention those days. Upon reading her book I find those were some very important times in her life. I have always had a great respect for Della but I was able to piece those stories together and really appreciate a truly great lady. She struggled as so many others who had gone on before her and she was able to over come innumerable odds to arrive at the pennacle of her great success. After reading her book I was able to look back at the Angels in my life and praise God for every one of them. God bless Della and continued success with Touched by an Angel.

Up Close & Personal--Della Tells About Marvelous, Crazy Life
This book is wonderful! I love Touched by an Angel, and am a big fan of Della's (Have to buy some of her music someday!) This book really captures Della's effervescent, full-of-life, no-nonsense style. It reads just as if Della was sitting right there in your living room talking right to you. It is full of amazing stories and straight talk about her ups and downs professionally and personally, and the one thing that shines through so very clearly is her powerful and strong faith in God and how He and the human "angels" in her life have brought her through. You really feel you get to know her--her personality sparkles in every chapter. I loved this book.
