Stay ~ Dave Burchett

Excellent true story, about a man, a dog and GOD.  I loved this book, it tells of the life of Dave and Hannah (a lab) and the everyday lessons that GOD teaches through the eyes of a dog.  I was totally touched by how real each chapter's story is.  It makes you think of how your life compares to how GOD wants you to be.  I enjoyed these experiences so much, I would end up reading the book out loud to my husband.  It is so true and real of your experiences in real life on a day to day basis. It teaches patience, forgiveness, kindness, unconditional love and much more.  I really liked how Dave would tell the story of he and Hannah and then give a bible verse and background of the lesson GOD was teaching.

I would recommend this book to everyone of all ages, it is a great book.  I couldn't put it down because it was so interesting.  If you are a dog lover this is a must read book.  This is a great gift book, that will be enjoyed by everyone.

For the Right Reasons ~ Sean Lowe

This book was more then I expected, it was very true and heart warming to know Sean is a man of his word, not just a reality star.  If you are a fan of the Bachelor or Bachelorette then you will enjoy this book a lot.  It is the story of Sean our favorite Bachelor that seemed to good to be true.  After reading his story you know that he really is the real deal and puts GOD first in his life.  I really enjoyed how he writes about his journey, he didn't trash anyone, he didn't make up drama, he tells of how he lives his life by his faith and stands by his values.  This book has faith all through it and I was very impressed.  It is a great clean story (for a change) that will leave you in awe that good guys do finish first. 

I would recommend this book for all Bachelor and Bachelorette fans, as it does go into small details about the show that when you watch you never see.  It would also be for women that want that relaxing, romantic, keep your faith story, with a very happy ending.

The Dandelion Field ~ Kathryn Springer


This is the type of book that grabs you from the beginning and keeps going to the end.  It starts right out with the story line and doesn't stop.  This is the type of story that you start reading and don't want to put down because you need to know what is going to happen next. 

The story is about a mom and her daughter and a father and son, they are bought together by a pregnancy.  It has it's ups and downs and you can feel for the characters.  It is told in a way that is so real to society in today's world.  The story teaches of how GOD will forgive and reward in the end, no matter how much you think you have screwed up in life, just stand by your belief and in GOD.

I would recommend this book to women and teen girls.  It is a good book club read that will have many discussion issues and questions that can be used in today's society.  Great conversation book for a mom's view and a daughter's view.

Blind-sided by GOD ~ Perer Chin


This is a true story from Pastor Peter Chin and how GOD took the bad in his life and turned it for good.  It deals with how he and his family had many struggles and turmoil in their lives even when they have GOD by their sides.  From a church plant, breast cancer, pregnancy and many more everyday ups and downs it makes you wonder why is GOD making this happen when this whole family is working for HIS kingdom.  This book is real and at the end of each chapter Pastor Peter gives bible back up of the message that GOD was giving him and his family.

I really liked reading from a man's point of view and what men deal with having to see the women you love going through breast cancer.  This is a very inspiring book, that teaches you that GOD gives us what he wants us to have.

I would recommend this book to all ages and those that always wonder why would GOD make this happen?  This is a great true story that many will be able to relate to, especially those that have been touched by cancer.   If you want a heartwarming, truthful read then buy this book.
