confessiona of a raging perfectionist ~ Amanda Jenkins

This is a great book that I really felt connected to.  It is told in a diary format by different subjects that women deal with on a daily basis.  Amanda is a perfectionist and always listing out her daily to do list, when not achieving everything on the list she feels like a failure.  Sound familiar?  It does to me, that is why I connected to this book, once I started reading I couldn't put down.  Each chapter describes a subject such as vanity, money, parenthood, pride, testimony and much more. 

Amanda explains how she expects so much from herself, then tells how to use GOD's word to stop being so hard on yourself and enjoy what GOD gives you from each day.  It is a great read and easy to understand that GOD doesn't want you to be perfect and make a list each day, he just wants you to enjoy his blessings.  The set up of this book is very easy to read from cover to cover or you can just pick it up and read a chapter that you feel you want to read, that is the great set up of this book.

I recommend this to women of all ages, read this book.  I loved it and felt wow it really is ok to stop and enjoy the day and not to have to do everything on the list.  Perfection is not in GOD's plan for anyone, he wants you to learn and be on his journey with HIM.

Nearing Home ~ Billy Graham

This book is about growing old and preparing for your life in your senior years.  Billy Graham tells about his life experiences and how GOD is using us each day in life for when we meet him in the end.  It also has the Graham touch and explains that if you have not accepted Christ it is never too late and tells how to become saved.  He uses scripture all through the book and his own life feelings to give examples of what GOD does in life.  Billy talks about preparing for the end, by being sure you have a will, your investments, dealing with death of loved ones, when is really the right time for you to retire, making amends with those that have hurt you and many other situations that you deal with in your senior years.

I would recommend this book to be read by anyone that is 45 years and above.  I think anyone can read this book but the younger people may not feel as connected as the older people may.  I was enlightened by the way Billy Graham spoke and became aware of how to think of things in a different way and understand the way that GOD wants you to deal with everyday ups and downs.  Makes you realize that life is really short and you need to prepare now.
