BookSneeze book review: I Wish You Enough by Bob Perks

I Wish You Enough: Embracing Life's Most Valuable Moments...One Wish at a Time

I wish you enough sun
to keep your attitude bright
I wish you enough rain
to appreciate the sun more
I wish you enough happiness
to keep your spirit alive
I wish you enough pain
so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger
I wish you enough gain
to satisfy your wanting
I wish you enough loss
to appreciate all that you possess
I wish you enough "Hellos"
to get you through the final "Good-bye."
 

I Wish You Enough was an inspiring,encouraging short read.
This would be a great gift book for anyone that's going through a tough time, graduating, getting married or anything!
 With every wish you get a short story and a scripture.
I highly recommend this book.

T.L. Hines: FACES IN THE FIRE- Thomas Nelson book review




Click pic for more reviews


This is only the second book that has had me from the first sentence.

"The dead man's shoes spoke to Kurt long before he wore them."


I really enjoyed this book although it starts with chapter 34 and ends with chapter 14. The rest of them are in there all mixed up. 


It's a story of four really different people who have one thing in common, a 10 digit number that changes each one of their lives. This number, a catfish symbol and fire are all tied in some  how and I am left wondering about some of it and why. I won't give away any more but I do recommend the book. I read it in 2 days and it was good at keeping my attention.


You can purchase your own copy at Thomas Nelson Publishing.

Thomas Nelson BOOK REVIEW: The Sweet By and By by Sara Evans and Rachel Hauck







This is the first book I have read in a long time that I didn't wanna close it until I had read the very last word in the book. Jade has her own business and is getting ready to marry a fantastic man, life is great. Right? Like all of us on some level, Jade has secrets and has built walls. But walls fall and secrets spill out. This is a book about God and His love and forgiveness. His for you therefore teaching you how to forgive others. I highly recommend this book and also having a box of kleenex near because you will need them. The book was written by multi platinum recording artist Sara Evans and Rachel Hauck.

FEARLESS book review for Thomas Nelson


I'm doing this review for Fearless by Max Lucado.
 I'm reviewing as a Thomas Nelson book review  blogger.


Back of book-
Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.

They’re talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors.  Wouldn’t it be great to walk out?

Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, and doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, when you could trust more and fear less.

Can you imagine your life without fear?

We all have fears and this book can teach and/or remind us that we have someone we can go to with those fears.
I highly recommend this book for everyone. It is a fast and easy read yet it is one you'll want to go through slow and soak it up. In the back it has discussion guides for the chapters. One small sentence in this book has really stuck with me and that is.

"But worry doesn't work."
Most important thing I got out of it is RELY ON GOD... something I have always known and needed a small reminder.

Read the book,lose your fear and GAIN some Faith.
