A Broken Kind of Beautiful ~ Katie Ganshert

Want a book that is filled with GOD's grace and has a wonderful meaning?  This is the book for you.  It is filled with all sorts of issues that go on in today's world and keeps you turning the pages from the beginning to the very end.  This book is not your regular love story, it has many different situations that occur and make you realize that GOD gives you everything in life for HIS glory. 

I enjoyed the story of Ivy, a beautiful model in search of hearing GOD talk to her.  Davis a struggling photographer that needs to realize that GOD has a purpose and plan for you. Along with many other characters in a small town that leads to learning GOD's love and grace for everyone.

I loved this story and would recommend it to those that want a good, enjoying, Christian read.  I couldn't put it down and wanted even more when it ended.   This is a good book for all young women and older women.  Loved it!!

The Storm Inside ~ Shelia Walsh

This is what I call a self -help book.  Shelia talks about 10 different subjects that happen in life and considers them GOD's trials and difficult situations.  We all go through it, but we all have different answers and choices that we make.  We all blame ourselves, someone else or GOD for having an unhappy time in our lives.  Shelia talks about how she has had these times and also shares others stories that have shared with her.  Her answers are biblical and she does supply bible verses to back up what she is writing about.  She also puts a spin on situations, that some of us (me included) would not think about as the answer that GOD wants us to know and learn during this time.

I would recommend this book to those that are going through a difficult time and would like to be encourage to get through it.  I like how Shelia has always put GOD first in her writings and will always stay true to his word.  If you need a plain, easy read for helping during hard times this book is for you.

Crash the Chatterbox ~ Steven Furtick

Awesome book!!  This is an encouraging book that puts your confidence back in your life.  It makes you think and realize all the negative in your life is just Satan wanting it that way.  It is written in a very easy reading format and a way for you to apply it to your everyday life.  I read this book all the way through and then went back and did each chapter as a study.  It's main goal is four different subjects 1. God says I am  2.  God says HE will  3.  God says HE has  4.  God says I can.   Each chapter goes into detail of how to overcome negative thinking and change the way you see yourself and GOD. 

I recommend this read to everyone!  It is set in today's world and applies it to everyday situation that happen in your daily life.  It has changed my way of thinking and when I apply what Pastor Steven talks about in my life it really does work and gets the negative thoughts out of your head.  This book creates a more confident, happy and encouraging life with GOD in it 100%.  I loved this book!!

Distortion ~ Terri Blackstock

I enjoyed this book a lot. Exactly what you would expect from Terri Blackstock, drama, suspense, twist, turns and keeps you guessing.  This is book 2 in the moonlighters series and can't wait for book 3.  This is about Juliet and her husband being shot in the dark of the night and now she must protect her two sons.   The story involves Juliet with her family and friends becoming a part of solving her husbands murder.  From the crime scene to many twist and turns that deepen the story by each chapter.  This is a page turner, I finished the book in an afternoon because I couldn't put it down. (all of Terri's books I finish fast because they keep you interested and wondering what is going to happen next.)

I would recommend this to those readers that enjoy a good mystery with a GOD message wrapped all into one.  I love all of Terri Blackstock books and can never get enough, the countdown begins until the next one, which the ending of this book will make you want book 3....now....... (it doesn't leave you hanging, however, leaves the imagination to wonder if some of the characters will be in book 3 and how they will be involved.)

The A-Z of C.S. Lewis ~ Colin Duriez

This is a fascinating book, it is not a story but a book that covers many different topics and subjects from A-Z.  I have not read any C.S. Lewis books but found this book very interesting and has made me want to read his work.  This book can be used for many differnent things: research, educating, pick up and just read a topic, read from cover to cover, knowledge, and anything you want it to be. 

I really liked the format and the fact that this book covers so many different subjects about C.S. Lewis.  I would recommend this to all ages and anyone that wants to be educated and entertained at the same time.
