Decluttering at the Speed of Light~ Dana K. White

Dana teaches about how to get rid of the clutter in your home, not by organizing  but learning how to get rid of the clutter and keep it out of your home.  This is a new way of teaching makes you think differently about de-cluttering your life.  She gives step by step instructions that make sense and she gives chapters on easy ways to get rid of the stuff you don't need room by room.  Her theory is to be able to cherish things and not hold on to the things that hold you back from enjoying your home.  "So the point of decluttering isn't to get rid of things you want to keep; it's to identify those things and then to make space to enjoy those things" (page 50)

I recommend this book to all of us that have tried and tried to declutter, only to quit from being overwhelmed, taking too much time, trying to organize and just can't get rid of things.  This gives a new outlook and way of thinking that will change your mind totally and give you encouragement to try again..... I found this book easy, fast read and so helpful.  I have been one of those that have tried several times to declutter and always failed, but now after reading this book, I have been able to attempt with a new outlook and finding it easy to declutter my home.... if you want to get rid of clutter by this book......

GOD in the Dark ~ Sarah An Diest (Devotional)

This is a 31 daily devotional book that goes along with Psalm 119.  Sarah wrote this as a friend was going through a very dark time and she wanted to help him out with prayer and faith of GOD.  She gives a few verses of Psalm 119 and then shares the letter that she wrote to her friend each day.  The letters are short and very easy to read, with great understanding of how the verse can bring you out of the darkness and into the light if you believe. 

This is a great book for anyone going through a difficult and/or dark time.  Each daily devotional is a quick and easy read.  You can read from the beginning to the end or read where ever you open the book up to.  You can read and put down or read and take time to study it, it is all up to you.  This is a great book for anyone that needs that encouragement.

I can only Imagine a memoir by Bart Millard ~

This is the story of how Bart Millard wrote the hit song, "I can only Imagine" and now a major motion picture.  It is about forgiveness and how GOD gives us the grace to accept everyone.  Bart tells of his childhood or abuse and poverty.  He gives us a deep look into how he wrote "I can only Imagine" about him, his dad and how GOD worked in their lives.  I love the comment of when Bart says how long it took him to write the song and hears back, "Bart, this song took you your whole life to write"

This book is for everyone to read and enjoy how the grace of GOD knows the work HE is doing and how we have to keep the faith and trust in GOD to get us through it all... Buy this book and see the movie, you will not regret it.

The Masterpiece ~ Francine Rivers

EXCELLENT BOOK!  A MUST READ!  This is the story of Grace, single mother trying to get her life together and support her child.... Roman is an artist and a ladies man that hires Grace as his assistant.  As the story goes, we learn the present and the past of each of their lives and why they both have certain attitudes and ways about them.  Grace is a believer and Roman is not, which brings questions about why Grace is always on the defense of Roman's comments and life style.  

If you are a fan of Redeeming Love you will love this book, if haven't read it... go get it now.  This is a book that will leave you turning the pages and wishing you didn't have to sleep.  The story is over 500 pages and is not a book you can read in an afternoon, you will need to spend time reading this book as you will want to take it all in.  This is my new favorite of Francine Rivers!!!
