Glory Days ~ Max Lucado

Max Lucado does it again, teaches us to know how to enjoy the wonders of GOD and make this your Glory Days.  This book teaches of how to drop the luggage off and get into the everyday life of happiness and enjoyment that GOD intends it to be.  This is a quick read and covers it all in the normal Max style.  Do it today, change your life and get up and get going for GOD.

I would recommend this book to any Max fan, anyone that wants to fulfill life with what is missing in a very easy, plain and simple way.  The book is the study of Joshua that teaches us to understand that the bible had many trials and tribulations, however, the goal is the Promise Land.  I enjoyed this book and it was easy to apply the lessons to everyday life.

Diary of a Jackwagon ~ Tim Hawkins

Fun, Fun, Fun.... Read, Read, Read.... Laugh, Laugh, Laugh..... that is the way I felt reading this book.  I enjoyed it tremendously and couldn't put it down.  It is a short read and very entertaining.  Each chapter has a subject and some are only a few pages long, so you can just pick this up and take 5 minutes to put a smile on your face.  Most chapters are of the comedy act that Tim does and it will be a review for those that follow Tim.  For those that don't know Tim, you will now become a fan.

I would recommend this to any one that wants to smile and have a good read.  Any age can pick up this book and enjoy it.  This is a great gift book for that hard to buy for person, as it relates to some many different everyday life situations that will make you laugh.  It would be a great gift for any occasion.

Lazaus Awakening ~ Joanna Weaver (DVD bible study)

The DVD bible study is to be used along with the book Lazarus Awakening.  This is a very good tool to go with the book, it contains a study guide book, 8 sessions (each approx. 20 mins. long) to be used each week and bonus video of Israel moments, which details education and talks all about Israel and what is it like in the land of Israel.

The study teaches how to get out of your tomb of dead and come alive in the faith of Jesus.  The videos are so magnificent, the scenes are so colorful and real, they did such a great job with teaching and showing the Holy land.  You won't want to stop watching, you will want to keep watching all of the videos in one setting.  Which you can do if you want, but the study is meant to be done over an 8 week period.  The study guide is set up to watch the video, follow along in the study guide and fill in the blanks (given in the video lesson), make a plan section - answering questions that also can be used as discussion questions, Prayer request section and then the list of the week's assignment of to do and study what you will need to study during the week.  This study is definitely bible based and uses the NIV version of the bible is used.

I would recommend this to everyone, you can do it alone, in a very small group. large group, teen groups or just 2 friends getting together once a week for lunch.  I love this study, it is up-to-date, fresh and very easy to understand, this study is fully packed to educate and makes you want to learn.  Excellent job done on this study!!

Hope Harbor ~ Irene Hannon

This is a book that you don't want to end, you are so wrapped up in this town and the people in it, that it makes you feel you live there.  It is a story of hope, courage, forgiveness, comfort, soul searching and so much more.  The main story line is of the romance of two people coming from very different life styles and backgrounds.  It teaches of the heartbreak and compassion that every person goes through in daily life. 

I liked this book a lot, it is a great summer afternoon read while sipping on a freshly brewed glass of ice tea.  You will be taken to a new place and not want to return, it will make you smile, think about life and just feel the happiness all during the reading of this book. I would recommend this to those that want an easy read and to be able to escape.  The best part is that you can do it all again next summer when book #2 hits the book stores. (yeah!)

A Mind of her own ~ Diana Lesire Brandmeyer

Excellent story about a women named Louisa aka Jazz, a mom of 3 children and a very career centered husband.  When Louisa has an accident and gets amnesia she becomes Jazz Sweet, a single, fun loving famous writer, no children, no husband and lives on the beach.  She doesn't realize that her life is not that and is the total opposite, a busy, needy, hectic home situation.   The book is told of her family trying to help her get her memory back of who she really is. 

While doing that the adventure begins of the children not understanding why their mom has changed and their lives are upside down.   Her husband is a workaholic and suddenly realizes that his family needs him more then the work does but, is he willing to give it up for his family.  As Jazz, the new mom, she helps lighten up the uncomfortable situation with her new life and gives her family a new perspective of how they should be enjoying their time together.

I loved this book, it was fun and very entertaining.  I started it one afternoon and couldn't stop reading until I reached the last page.  I hope their is a sequel and the story will continue where it leaves off.   This is a great summer read, beware:  once you start you won't be able to put this book down.... guaranteed.   Love this book!!!

GOD Wants to Bless You ~ Che Ahn

You get blessings from GOD everyday.  Some or many of us don't feel that we are worthy of GOD's blessings, but GOD thinks differently.  In the first half of this little book, we learn how GOD shows us blessings and the second half lists the blessings that we receive from GOD.  It is a small and short book that you can easily read and understand. 

I would recommend this to anyone that wants a better understanding of GOD's blessings.  It describes the meanings and feelings behind what blessings are and meant to be.  If you want to know how you are missing some of the best experiences in life, read this book.  It can be used as a daily devotional also.  I found it to be a new way to look at blessings and encourage people to buy this book.

The First Family Details ~ Ronald Kessler

This is all about the behind the scenes that you never hear about with the presidents and the secret service.  Each chapter details certain situations that have occur with different presidents and their families.  It is an interesting book to see another side of what is going on behind the scenes. 

I would recommend this book to those that enjoy history, that would like to read about history in the view of a person that had lived it and not just the media side.  This is all about what goes on when no one is looking.  I really enjoyed this read.
