Max on Life ~ Max Lucado

This book is the new one from Max and the title is exactly what it covers, questions on life. It is broken down by subjects and has an easy to look up index, allowing the reader to find just what they are looking for. Max has put a question on top of the page and then answers it, in a very easy to read and easy to understand form. The book has covered the basic questions on faith and refers the answers to be found in the bible. I am a big Max fan and have read most of his books. This one is a very light read for me, since I am used to his more in depth and one subject books. I found that some of the material in this book has been covered in other Max books. This is a good book to give to those that have the basic questions of faith. It is also a good reference book when you need to give the quick answer when asked a certain question. I would recommend this book as a light read, a reference guide and could be used as a daily devotional.

As a tween book, if you love Disney, you will also read this book. This is a series set. The story is of 5 teenagers that become hallo grams for Disney's Magic Kingdom, and the main theme is Good happens during the day and Evil happens at night at the Magic Kingdom.

It's a fun and magical journey of how the kids save Disney World. I would recommend this for all Disney lovers.

To be perfectly honest ~ Phil Callaway

This book is hilarious and an excellent fun read! The book is about how Phil decides not to lie for a whole year. It is in the setting of a diary type read, Day 1, Day 2 and etc. At the end of each chapter is a recap of the chapter and allows you to reflect on your own feelings.

I loved how Phil's wife asked for him to mow the lawn, he hates mowing the lawn and says "sure" then realized that he is on this mission to not lie for a year, and tells her "I don't want to, but I will". He mows the lawn and shares of his afternoon of mowing. Made me laugh out loud. Another funny is when his mother in law asks if he wants to come for dinner, he stops and says, how do I answer this one truthfully and still have a relationship with her? His story about the music each Sunday at his church, is something that I think all of us has had to go through. Each day is a great read and has you thinking about your own life and what you would or wouldn't say.

I started to read this book when I got it out of the mailbox, and couldn't put it down. I loved it! It came just in time, as having a bad day at work, this was a wonderful book to come home to, it just made me laugh and realize it isn't that bad of a day.

We Be Big - Rich Burger and Bill "Bubba" Bussey

This is the book about Rick & Bubba, 2 good old Alabama boys that now have a morning radio show that promotes the "Glory of God". Their story is about how it was not that easy to make it to the top. They share about their high school years, career paths and how GOD was the control of their success. They never gave up even though; it would have been easy to do as they had many ups and downs. The book does have funny stories, heartbreaking situations and the Grace of GOD that gets them to the top. This book is a very light read and is interesting for the reader to see how many problems they had to overcome. They tell us about how GOD's path was not one they had envisioned. Their belief in GOD and being obedient to Him is how they got to where they are today. I would recommend this book to friends only if they want a light read.
