The New Bible Cure for Weight Loss ~ Don Colbert, MD

This is a small pocket book filled with basic dietary information.  It is very helpful and very basic reading.  If you have a background in dietary information then this book will be boring for you as it is on a beginners level.  I have studied nutrition for many years and found this book to be a helpful review for me.  It is a very basic, quick and short read.  Each chapter has a page called the RX page as a review and quick overview of what you just read.

I was impressed with the basic information to use as a reminder of how to keep on track with your body weight.  I was not sure how the title "The new bible cure....."  fit into the bible?  I was thinking that it would be bible based, however, on page 1 of the book is 3 sentences that tell about how GOD can and will take you out of bondage.  A bible verse is given in each chapter, but that is about all it covers for saying it is the new bible cure. 

I would not recommend this book if you are thinking what I was that it is going to be about the bible and GOD's word.  Because all you get are bible verses that you can just open your bible up and get from.  If you want a quick reference and basic information on diet and exercise then this book may interest you.  I was displeased with this book because  I had high expectation that it would have so much more covering the bible.

Chronological Study Bible ~ Thomas Nelson

Great Bible, NIV version ~ this study bible is broken into 9 Epoch sections listed by year dates.  It has very vivid full color graphics of the places that you are reading about.  Makes you realize what it really looked like during that time period.  The history of the bible is covered by daily notes, many charts and time lines to describe and give visuals of what you are studying.  In the back of the bible is a reference guide of cultural and historical topics with page numbers for quick locations, a concordance, index of scripture passages, daily reading plans and colorful maps.

I found this bible to be very easy to read and had many interesting translation boxes.  The color coding and vivid photos and maps put you back into time.  I would recommend this bible for those that want to have a great chronological study bible as it is easy to read, easy to find what you need, makes you want to just pick it up and start reading something, along with so much more.  This bible is for any age group, if you  are at the age that you can read then you will be able to enjoy this bible.

When we were on fire ~ Addie Zierman

This is the true story of Addie Zierman and how she started as a Christian and then life got in the way.  Addie talks of in the 1990's and how she was all in for Jesus and talks about all the details of her years of how she served for GOD.  As the years go on she tells of how she lost the drive to keep living for GOD and how she over came the feelings.  This is a very easy read and I feel it reaches out to the 90's generation teenager.  If you did not live in the 90's then you will not be as touched as those of us that did. Doesn't mean you will not enjoy the book, it means you may not get as much feeling from her story as those that have lived through those years.

Addie goes through the Meet you at the pole campaign, WWJD bracelets, true love waits rings and many more.  I lived through these years and was touched by how true her feeling were.  When Addie goes through depression and tells how she felt so alone with no church members to help, even though she tries to get them to reach out to her.  Her story is heart felt and if you have ever felt these feelings, this story will make you realize at the time you feel alone but you really are not alone.

The Preacher's Wife ~ Brandi Boddie

The story dates back to the summer of 1870 in a little town called Assurance, Kansas.  A new young pastor (Rowe) comes to town to keep the church going and a young lady (Marissa) is stuck working at the town saloon as the town believe she is a lady of the night.  The story proceeds as how GOD puts these two lives together for HIS good and a life lesson for people not to judge others by their looks.  Rowe and Marissa are total opposites and their upbringing is as opposite as you can get.  Other added characters in the town cause problems and make you want to shout at the pages of the book.   

This book is a romantic chic book.  It is filled with lots of drama, excitement and flows with a fast pace story.  I couldn't put it down and while reading you keep cheering for the guy to get his girl.  I would recommend this book to all the ladies that enjoy a good book, sitting in a comfy chair, and a cup of tea.  Ladies, this one will take the stress of the day away.   A must read, and I can't wait for the second one .......

Twirl ~ Patsy Clairmont

I love Patsy and the way she makes you laugh and smile.  She is a member of the women of faith and a great inspirational speaker and writer.  This book is a great book to read all the way through, read daily as a devotional or a every now and then pick a subject and read.  Each chapter covers a different subject such as laugh, cover, sorrow, rest, dance and many more of how GOD uses our everyday feelings to his advantage.  Study or thinking questions (as I call them) are at the end of each chapter.

I really like this book as a great read for many different reasons and is all about GOD inspired on a daily basis.  Patsy uses her usual wisdom and makes you laugh out loud.  I recommend this book for women of any age, a good gift book and a book that can be used for a women's bible study class or book club read.

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.
