Evergreen ~ Susan May Warren

This is the story of Ingrid and John Christiansen of the Christiansen family series.  John wants to give his wife a Christmas she will never forget, so he plans a surprise trip to Paris only he gets the surprise on him.  Everything comes apart for John's plan.  Ingrid decides that this Christmas she has volunteered her and her husband to serve as organizers for the church nativity.  The family dog has emergency surgery and John has to cancel his plans.  This is a short novella that for those of us reading the series will meet two more family members.  Those that have never read the series will still be able to read and not miss anything.  If you have never read the series after reading this you will want to read the others. 

I would recommend this to mostly for females, however, a male could read this if they enjoy a family story with the usual Susan May Warren twist and turns.  A very short read but still packed with great morals, faith, fun and great family values.

When I Fall in Love ~ Susan May Warren

This is book 3 in The Chritiansen Family novel series.  I did not read book 1 nor book 2  but I read and loved book 3.  This is the story of Grace and Max, both having their own life problems and meet by the grace of GOD.  I found this story to be very interesting and when you think you know what is going to happen the author takes you on a twist and turn plot.  I loved how this story line had you thinking you knew what was going to happen and then a whole new turn happened and something new starts happening.  I could not put this book down because of the twist, it made you want to keep reading because you get so attached to the characters. 

I found this book a great, fun and entertaining read.  This is not your sappy romance story this book has a plot that could really happen as it is written.  I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys an easy, fun and non predictable read.

Let Me Be Clear ~ Katie Kieffer

This book is very clear and easy to understand read about today's society and where this country is going.  Katie does a great job to tell us about what is going on with this world today and how the millennial's will suffer in the future.  This book should be read with an open mind and you should really stop to think about what Katie is trying to tell this nation.   She does not bash Obama or his administration, she is giving the facts of how we are in society today and how we need to look at both sides and she wants you to decide for yourself. She wants us to understand and instead of allowing the media to have you believe what they want, she wants everyone to think for themselves and make their own judgement on facts.  Everyone feels this nation is hurting.... why???   Read this book and then think about it, you may just get the answer to the Why question.

I recommend this book to everyone.   Read this book, it is very interesting and provides the back up to the topics and subjects she is talking about.  This is a very easy to understand  and a fast reading book, written in the average, everyday language.  Buy this book!!!

Sidelined ~ Chuck Pagano

What an inspirational book, this is such a touching and emotional book.  Chuck tells the story of how he starts work as an NFL head coach of the Indianapolis Colts and finds out he has cancer before the season even starts.  He has some bruises that appear during summer training and ignores them until he finally has the team doctor look at them.  The doctor sends him directly to the cancer center and Chuck is immediately admitted as a patient for at least 30 days or more for intense chemo treatment.... and this is only the first few chapters.  The story tells of the love and support that Chuck and his family receives from the team, family, friends and the fans.  It is an amazing journey that will amaze you of how much love is received and even during the difficult time, Chuck and his family tell of how they give back and of all the blessing this story has. 

I would recommend this book to everyone, especially to those who are football fans.  This is a very inspirational and encouraging book for anyone to read.  It is a quick read and very easy to understand.
