The Quotable Rogue by Matt Lewis

I was bias before I read the book, being a palin fan for the last few years. I found it to be a wonderful use of time and insirational.

Story Engineering by Larry Brooks

Im going to go 4 out of 5 stars on this book. If you have any interest in writing a novel this is a good resource. the wuthor spends the first 40 pages trying to sell his formula. It is not the best resource Ive come across but it is one of the top 5.
His formula is simply to train yourself to put a character in that is motivated and driven and set him up to experience life changing events. Create reader empathy and give him hope. he completely outlines a process that will help a beginning writer to develop the necessary skills to write a successful book. he calls it a 6 step plan. A rose by anyother name would smell as sweet and every major book on how to write a book says the same things this books says but in a little different way.
Still, for a new writer this would be a great resource and I would highly recommend it.

Max On Life a wonderful BOOK!!!!!!!!

Lucado does it again. Hes long been my favorite writer, way before FEARLESS. Lucado simply puts things in a real life understandable way.
There were some things I did not feel completely happy with but I would take nothing away from him again; hes a wonderful writer and all of his books are golden.
This book would especially hit home for the unsaved reader who has unanswered questions about the Bible and life before we knew it.
You just cant go wrong with Lucado, and this book would make a wonderful gift. I keep all Lucado books and donate 90% of all other books I review but I wont let go of a Lucado.

Take Action Bible NKJV by Thomas Nelson Publishing

I do not like the format or added content of this bible. I expect a lot more inspirational content but its all just fluff in my opinion. Keep your money and buy a better quality like a Life Application Study Bible or a Chronological or Archeological bible.

What's He Really Thinking?

What's He Really Thinking?
How to Be a Relational Genius with the Man in Your Life
By Paula Rinehart


Boy, some women really think they know men: this book is as pitiful as it sounds! You cant lump men into a cluster and expect to know what they are thinking! If you want to know what a man is thinking, just ask him!
It is a well written book with some points and if a woman is the manipulative type, she would do to read this book, but its all just common sense stuff.

Fasting by mcKnight

Out of 5 stars, Id give this book 1. Leave it on the shelf and go get yourself a copy of Jensens book Fasting.
The author seems to spend the entire book saying that fasting is a response to grief. I dont need to sspend a day reading a book to know that we dont eat when we are upset.
Fasting is a deliberate action in my opinion to offer up a spiritual gift to God, the author McKnight takes away from the spiritual purpose while trying to spotlight it! Save your money and you dont need a long review; its just not a good read.

Precious Moments Storybook Bible

The Precious Moments Storybook Bible is a wonderful gift for a young child that is sure to please. The print is large and the pictures are fantastic. The stories, cant be beat...straight out of the Bible! What a wonderful way to get young kids engaged in Biblical interest! kids want to learn about God, thats innate. This book is a great way to charge forward with them and help them ground their faith in visual confirmation, which young readers both need and enjoy. This bible brings the stories out of the bible to life and the book really is wonderful. If you have been struggling with a gift idea, no child is too young for this book; it really is great! i would not gift it to anyone above the age of like 8 -- but from birth to 8, ok, from 1 year to 6, its a target find. From age 3 to 5 it would be ideal. You cant waste your time with this book; its a wonderful addition to building a treasured collection that will incresase a childs understanding of God and how God loves us. What better purpose can a book have?
