Going Deep - Gordon MacDonald
This book is about a fictional town New England town church and the pastor who wants his congregation to "get deep into their faith and the relationship with Jesus." This book was quite boring for me, it had a good meaning and idea, but I just couldn't seem to get through it. I enjoyed reading Who stole my church and thought I would enjoy this book the same way.
I would only recommend this book to those who are not looking to a deep message book and those that can handle the same repitious meaning in each chapter. This book was a let down for me.

Longing ~ Karen Kingsbury
Book #3 in the Bailey Flanigan Series.... Loved this book, my favorite in the series. The story of Bailey, Brandon and Cody continues, in this book you will find out who Bailey is going to choose to be her boyfriend, her career choice and where she will be living. It is packed with emotions and makes you get so attached to the characters that you don't want the book to end.
The story has so many ups and downs that you can't put it down, who do you want to see Bailey with? This book may change your mind. If you have not read book 1 & 2 you can still read this book without reading them. But if you have read 1 & 2 then you know what I am talking about when I say that you become so attached with book 3 that when you find out in the end of the book, you don't want it to end and leaves you with mixed feelings.
I would recommend this as a great light read that you can't put down.

This is a great helpful book that makes you look at your unhappiness in life and realize that GOD makes that happen to make you be closer to him.
This book has 15 chapters that covers a different situation for you to think about and work on in your daily life. This is a good self help book, daily devotional, or a good group bible study. Each chapter is about a 5 to 10 minute read, you are given a story that Caryn went through, then backed up with biblical explantions (along with scripture references) and then questions for you to review your own life and makes you realize that GOD is making you go through all this to make you closer to him. This book helps you work through unhappiness by learning to greive what you are going through and that GOD is with you and he is making this all happen for his glory, you have to go through the steps of greif, learning and becoming closer to GOD.
I really enjoyed this book and it helped me (as I am going through a difficult time) to realize it is ok to feel sad as long as I know I am getting closer to GOD.

One Call Away ~ Brenda Warner
This is the true story of Brenda Warner's life, all her struggle's with heartache, disappointments with life, and how she keeps her love for GOD no matter what she goes through.
When I started to read this book, I could not put it down! It is such a great read, it is real, a GOD glorifiying story. I never imagained what this book was going to contain, but once you start reading, you realize that her life is all of our stories wrapped into one life. I never thought this story would have all of this in it, she becomes a marine, makes her dream of marrying a marine and having children come true ... happy ever after right? Wrong! She ends up having to deal with a handicapped child, divorce, going on welfare, moving back home, going back to college, find new happiness, death, dealing with the media, and each time she picks up the phone her life is turned upside down. How does she keep going? It makes you wonder and it also keeps you reading to find out how she will survive. Brenda keeps going with her faith and her strong belief that GOD is always with her.
I recommend this book to everyone, **caution** you will not want to put this book down. GREAT INSPIRATIONAL READ!
