The Complete 101 Collection

I have always been a fan of John Maxwell books and the 101 series has always been a favorite of mine.  I am glad now that I have them all in one book.  I have recommended Maxwell's work to many of my friends and co-works.  In fact my current employer recommended some of Maxwell's work.

If you already know about that 101 series, you know what a great resource this work is, I love to review it over and over again.  It's a good that you don't need to read cover to cover, it's one that you can jump ahead to a topic that you need a refresher course in.  I would highly recommended John's works and the 101 Collection is a must have for you library collection.

I was given this book free of charge for and honest review by Thomas Nelson.

Henry Hodges Needs a Friend.

Henry Hodges Needs a Friend.

With today age kids being bullied and feeling more alone then ever and how all they want is friendship, this book helps teach them that finding a friend can be easier they you think.
Henry, is given the chance to get a need friend, A pet.  He thinks about every kind of pet.  But what he doesn't know is that their is a dog that needs him just as much as Henry needs the dog.  I love this book, my kids loves this book.  I already know what I am giving people for Christmas this year and we are only in May.

Wrestling for my life

I had a chance to review this book by The Booklook program of the Thomas Nelson publishing company.  I am glad that I was giving that chance.

Wrestling For My Life is the latest book by former WWE star Shawn Michael's.  He talks about his conversion to Christ and how he is able to live a life dedicated to Him and still do the things he loves.

I used to watch Shawn, along withTriple H and Steve " Stone Cold" Austin all the time.  You look at these guys and you think they have it all, they get to do what they love, get the girls, just have the best life. Maybe they do, but Shawn talks about is struggle with drugs and how it almost ruined his life, his marriage and his job.

But it wasn't until he found God and Jesus Christ that he changed his life.  Shawn talks about in the book how he came to know Jesus and how Jesus Christ sweet love helps us all. I really loved reading this book and I hope that you will too.

I highly recommend this book.

Samson By Shawn Hoffman

I was giving the chance to read the following book Samson By Shawn Hoffman.  The book was given to me by the Booklook review program.  I was given this book free in exchange for an honest review.

There is nothing more I love to read then books about WWII.  I have read many books about the South Pacific, but not as many about the Germany.  I read Bonhoeffer and loved it.  I picked up this one because it was about Germany and the Jewish people and what they went through.  The fact to it was about boxing sparked my interested.  However,  I had one heck of time reading this book.

The writing was very well done, Mr. Hoffman did is work on this book.  What I am saying is that it was very disturbing at parts.  That coming from me says a lot.  I normally can push this stuff aside and let it go, but there was on part of the book when they where take to the Nazi camps that just had me dwelling on it.  I think too why I dwelt on it so much was because it was true.  I finding more and more that the Germans.. mainly Hitler.  Was sick!!!

I have to say that I did not finish the whole book, I couldn't.  But because of the history of the book and how well written it is, I would recommend it to those that are ok with reading this kind of stuff.  Just know that I warned you.

Thanks again to the booklook program for me free book.

Last Light

One of many things that I liked about Terri Blackstock book Last Light is that it showed me that I was not ready in case of any disaster.

If the world where to end today would I be ready? For the Branning family they found out that they where not ready for such thing. They have to learn how to survive, how to get along without power and without the day to day life they are use it. But not only to the have to learn how to survive without power they come to find out that there is a killer among them.

I have to say the book started a little slow but it picked up really quick. This book will no disappoint and leaving you guessing. I highly recommend this book.

I want to thank Thomas Nelson for my free copy of this book.

Intentional Walk

As the game of baseball is facing another go around with steroids use it nice to be able to read something positive about the game.  In his new book Intentional Walk by Rob Rain gives us the hope that there is still some good in the game.

Intentional walk is about the St Louis Cardinals players and coaches and how they have brought the Christian believes together.   This book takes each person and talks about how they found God in their life and how they apply it to the lives.

I really enjoyed this book. I have a great love for the game of baseball and I great love for God and this book talks about both.  I want to thank Thomas Nelson Booksneeze program for my free copy of this book in exchange for my review.

7 Men by Eric Metaxas

Manhood and Heroism are not terms that are used into day’s world as much as was back 50 years or so. The men of WWII gave home where men and hero’s. We look at them even today and they command that type of respect without even asking for it. But it sad today to see men portray as “dumb, stupid or careless” Do get me wrong I have seen many that are all three. But no all men are that way but that is how Hollywood and the media wants to portray us. But thanks to Eric Metaxas new book 7 Men and the Secret of Their Greatness. I feel he give men hope again.
Eric takes 7 great men and gives you a short bio of their life. He said in the book that he could have picked more and could have picked 7 other but when with these because of their success. Each bio talks about how these men became great and what made them great. Jackie Robinson taking on the role to be the first black man to play Major league baseball is was not easy for him and he knew it going into, but because of his greatness many of the same race now play baseball and Jackie is honored in every MLB baseball park with his number 42 retired.

George Washington was slated to be become King George I of America. But turned it down and later took the role as the first president of this country. Role he didn’t want but took because he knew he had too.



I could go on, but I suggest you read this book. I highly recommend this book to men and women.

Thanks to Thomas Nelson for my free advanced copy of this book. This review was give for and exchange for the free book and my thoughts on this book are mine and mine alone.
