This is the story of Mary and her experience with going to heaven. Her story is touching and makes you think about your own experiences and how you can relate to her story. Each chapter is about how GOD touches her life and how she interpets what it is suppose to mean. Mary was an average mom and Dr. that was going through everyday life, just like you and me, busy, busy, busy....as her husband and her go kayaking one day Mary's life is changed forever, she gets trapped underwater and then thrown out of the kayak and floats down stream stuck in the current. She has stopped breathing for over 10 mins. and goes to heaven, GOD sends her back as HE is not done with her on earth.
This is not the typical books that have been written about heaven experiences, this book used scripture and everyday life to make you see how GOD does have angels and uses your life the way GOD plans to use it. Bad things don't happen, they are GOD's plan to get you on his road and to get done what HE has planned for you to do.
This book is one of the best I have read on why things happen.... I read this book in two hours as I could not put it down, it just touches you and makes you realize in your own life how GOD has been with you and how certain situations were meant to be in a way that you have never thought to think of them before.
I recommend this reading to all ages, it is very easy to read and a great afternoon book you won't want to put down. When you do finish; it makes you keep thinking of everything in your life and makes you think how GOD is with you at all times and how he has his angels all around us.

Lucy Come Home ~ Neta and David Jackson
As a fan and avid reader of the Yada Yada Prayer Group and Yada Yada House of Hope I couldn't wait to read this book, if you are a fan of these series you will want to read this book also. It is the story of Lucy the 80 yr old homeless lady who we have met in the series. I have always wanted to know about Lucy and her real story and this is the book.
Lucy's life is about having tragic events in your life, love and being homeless. It fills in why Lucy is homeless and covers her life events and why she is the way she is. The book takes you on the journey of the present (also from yada yada series, a review if you have read the books) and then back to the past with new characters to fall in love with. You get to meet Bo the love of Lucy's life and the life they lead being with the carnival after running away from home and the journey of much heartache and sadness for Lucy to encounter. ( I can not share all with you, as I want all to read and enjoy the book without any spoilers). If you have not read any of the series it is ok to read this one as the authors have added in the information you need to know, and review for those that have read them.
I recommend this book to all friends, it is a great and fast read. (as in you can't put the book down because you want to know what is going to happen next.).

God Loves Broken People ~ Shelia Walsh
I enjoy Shelia's books, and this one included. This is a different format then Shelia's regular writing. This book includes everyday situations of depression, death, heartbreak, health conditions and many more... from the people in everyday life story's. Covering difficult times that people go through in life, each story is backed with a bible verse and biblical examples of why GOD loves people so much and why when bad things happen they are the blessing of GOD.
I enjoyed this book, it was a not in your face book, it was a way of looking at sad and uncontrollable situations the way GOD intends them to.
I would recommend this book to others, espically those that are going through a very difficult time.

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.
