This your Brain in love


I am sometime a little worried to read self-help book, mainly when they written by a Doctor! Doctor like the use the big words and write them in their books. A lot of times you are spending more time looking up the word then reading the book. But with Dr Earl Henslin new book This Is Your Brain In Love, Dr Henslin, did not need to use the big words here. He made the book simple and easy to understand.
I really like this book it opened my eyes. Many people would say when buying this book or having this book on their self: “I don’t need this book, It is not for me or it is for a friend. I can see that some people would be ashamed to have this book, but the message in this book is one that everyone need, whether you have a strong loving marriage like Anne and David did in the book or if you marriage is at the breaking point. There is a message for all in this book.

Dr Henslin talks about five “lover types they are
1. The Scattered Lover
2. The Overfocused Lover
3. The Blue Mood Lover
4. The Agitated Lover
5. The Anxious Lover

He breaks down each of these lover types in chapters and it is very interesting to see where you find yourself and your spouse. This book is a must read and again it is for all marriages there is something we all need to learn, and marriages is something that we learn from each and ever day.

Thank to Thomas Nelson Book review for my free copy of the book

Sweet By and BY



It has been said many time that it is better to leave thing that you have done in your life in the past. In Sara Evan new book titles The Sweet by and by Jade and her soon to be husband felt that is what would work best for them, they would start the lives together not know much about each other part. But as the story unfolds we find that the skeletons that lay in you closet can never be left there forever. Slowly they start to come out for Jade and take her on an emotional roller coaster only to find out that the struggles that she goes through only make Jade a better person in the end. We come to find out that the past is who we are and we should not be ashamed to live up to it.

The book we me started out a little slow, but then towards the middle it began to pick up and lay out the story of Jade and her past. I really felt that Sara Evans did a wonderful job, and look forward to the next book in this series.

This book was give to my by the Thomas Nelson book Reviewer. The comments made here are my own. I was not paid to review this book. Please visit brb.thomasnelson.com to find out more.

Where is God, is not a question but rather a protest


Where is God is not a question, rather it is a protest.” Is a statement from Dr John Townsends new book titled “Where is God” First let me say that even the cover has you looking for “God” The title is the same color and the background and has you searching for it. Just like many off us today we are searching for God and wanting to know if in fact he is there.
But Dr. Townsend helps to illustrate the point that God is in fact there. We are the ones that are standing the way of allowing God to enter our lives. The World is going to hell in a hand basket and we can only stop and ask “Where are you God, way have you left” But God in fact as not left, he is there waiting for us to call upon Him.

Dr Townsend tells a story of a lady that was pushing her husband to communicate with her, she was terrible upset with the fact that she was not getting what she wanted and was at breaking point. But Dr Townsend put it best when he stated that God does not push us to communicate with him, he lets us know that he is there and waits for us to come unto Him.
At this point in time when there has been so much sadness in the world a book like this is just want is needed. This book should be bought and read and reread and come to truly understand that the question of “where is God,” is not the questions we need to ask, the question we need to ask is found in this wonderful book.

Thanks to Thomas Nelson for my Free advance copy of this book.

NKLV Greatest Stories of the Bible


Thomas Nelson’s NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible is a must have in every home. In the introduction of the book it states: “Designed as a treasury of the most well-loved and impactful stories from the bible.” Is goes on to say “this is not a bible….this heirloom edition uses scripture portions from the NKJV to tell the story of God and His interaction with humankind.”

This book is very well done. The cover give you the old worn family bible look and the it reads like a novel and not the way normal scriptures verses are writing. I have read the King James Version of the bible my whole life this is the first I have read a New King James Version and the way this is done helps me to understand the bible better then I have before. I love this version and it will make a great family gift to all of my brothers and sisters this year for Christmas.

Thanks Thomas Nelson for an advance copies of this great book. Please visit www.thomasnelson.com for more.

The Story of Christmas by Gwen Ellis is a great book for young kids. I received my copy of the book and had to wait until the kids were asleep in order to read it( that is because I could not get it away for them) The next day they woke up and want to watch the DVD which is very cute and they loved it. The Story of Christmas is a great way to start off the Christmas season. This book will help to teach my kids the importance of Jesus and how He is the reason we celebrate the holiday. I highly recommend this book to all weather you have kids or not this book take the simple mean of Christmas and help you remember that it is about Jesus not all the other things that go on with Christmas. Also this book would make a great Christmas gift to all those you know.

Thanks to Thomas Nelson Book Review for my Free copy of this book.

The tallest of Smalls


The first book I ever read by Max Lucado was “You Are Special” I enjoy that little book so much the meaning that was brought out in that book still with me today. Much like that book Max has done it again with his new book “The Tallest of Smalls”. It is a parable take for Max’s book “Fearless” that was release a few months ago.

This book is geared toward young children and teaches them that they do not need to be part of the tall and mighty that God made them just the way they are for a reason. This book is very well done and the illustrations are wonderful. With Christmas only a few months away this book is a perfect gift.

Thanks to Thomas Nelson Book Review for the free copy of this book.

“The most forgotten element of success” is the subtitle to Deborah Norville’s new Book title The Power of Respect. She starts off the book by tell the story of a group of Collage students taking a test that they had study for and was ready to take. The exam was handed out and when the last question the test was read all the student was surprise to see the questions that no one know the answer to.
Deborah talks about all aspects of respects: the Power of respect in our relationships, business, school, leaders and the two main one I feel which is self and in the home. I like how she starts the book off with respect in the home. It is where it all starts.

This book is a wonderful book and a quick read. I really recommend this book to all, it show you how you can get what the Lord states “do unto others and you have them do unto you”
Thanks Thomas Nelson Book review to this free copy of The Power of Respect.
