Fearless A Review

THIS IS A MUST READ. This book is the story of a true American Hero, Adam Brown a team member of Navy Seal Team Six. Adam's story has it all, drug addition, the influence of hanging around the wrong people, the love of a woman, salvation through Jesus Christ. Adam was the kind of guy that let nothing get in his way. The things he has endured throughout his life are unbelievable if they weren't true.Adam is the perfect example of what it means to be fearless in all things.
Normally becoming a Navy Seal is a dream come true for those who make it, but for Adam it became his last hope, to see why you will have to read the book, because I don't want to spoil it for you.This book fulfills one of Adam's final wishes that his spiritual testimony, his complete story, be told, including "my life before I met Jesus Christ and Kelly. The author Eric Blehm has accomplished this wish well. This a book every man/boy should read so as to see an example of a true American man. READ it your be glad you did.
I received this book from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. This review is my own.

The Gospel Of Yes

The yes of God is when He chooses to finds a way- working with highly flawed people- to accomplish His plans.God has decided to overcome every "no" of humanity with his powerful and persistent "yes" working to fulfill his dreams He had for creation, when called everything into being. His purposes are not going to be frustrated by anything or anyone. Each chapter explains a yes of God for example-.the yes of the cross, the yes of the resurrection, the yes of forgiveness. The last section has discussion questions for small groups settings. I received this book from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

When Work & Family Collide A Review

This book is great for  any parent that works and feels the tension between the job and family. We all wrestle with it. This book is about establishing priorities between work and family. In the process of doing this we cheat. You will cheat either your work or your family maybe even both. The book is divided into two parts the first part addresses the emotions of those who feel they are being cheated (boss, company, mainly family)and how that effects them. The second part gives the solution of developing a strategy for changing the present work/family relationship.The solution is in a three part process in which one of them is make up your mind. Andy Stanley uses the example of Daniel. You may be asking yourself how can a single, captive in a far away land teach me a parent with work and family responsibily about priorities. Your have to read the book to find out.
   This is a very practical, how to book, it is a short book something that could be read in a week's lunch breaks.I also think the three step process that is given in the book can be used in other areas of life too.
  I received this book from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing for this review with out any input from the publisher.

INDELIBLE

    This a psychological thriller that has elements of suspense, mountain adventure, romance, forgiveness and a lurking evil. There are two main characters Trevor McDaniels an olympic gold medalist turned rescuer/hero after rescuing a 3 year boy from a mountain loin. Natalie Reeve is an art gallery owner with a photographic memory These two form a love relationship and all the problems that exist because of their pasts. In fact there is a little bit too  much romance for me.
    The suspense could have been more suspenseful it didn't keep me up late at night nor the constant looking over my shoulder kind of suspense. This is a good Christian  fiction read
    I had a e-book copy and there were some format errors but nothing that distracted from my reading. Pick up this book and add it to your reading list.

Man Alive a review

This a great book for those involved in men's ministry it will help you in meeting the needs of the men you minister to. Patrick Morley give seven primal needs of every man. Each chapter starts with a real situation, explains the need, then gives a worksheet to the reader transform these needs into a better disciple of Christ.
  I think another advange for this book is for woman it will give them a better understanding of the man (men) in their life. Three of these needs: to break free from the destructive behaviors that keep dragging me down, the need to be loved without reservation,  and the need to feel like I don't have to do life alone are very helpful for the man -woman relationship. Just these three needs  alone women will find helpful in understanding their man and in helping them meet these needs.
 I received this book for free from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing group for this review.

To Be perfectly Honest A Review

To be perfectly honest I didn't like this book at all. The idea of recording every day for a year whether you lied or not to me is boring. I struggled through this book and found no redeeming  value. I received this book from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group for free for this review.

A Man and his Bible The Fourth Fisherman

If there is any doubts of the effects of fathers on their children this book will remove them. Joe Kissack a big time TV executive who had it all, money,fame, success, a family that loved him, but he was living out in his adult life the lack of affection, the lack of approval, and the shaming that you will never amount to anything that he received from his father during his childhood which led Joe to the abuse of drugs, alcohol and into depression and thoughts of I rather be dead.
  Three Mexican fisherman were lost at sea for nine months and were finally rescued on August 16, 2006. Its not a well know story because in the U.S. the big story was the arrest of John Mark Kerr in Bangkok for the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey and the media circus that followed it.
    You ask yourself what does a TV executive and three Mexican fisherman have in common? All four have a man, his faith and his Bible.I don't want to spoil it for you so get this book when it comes out in March 2012.
