I have had a Grandpa die from cancer but he got so sick, so fast, that chemotherapy really was not an issue. Find A Way: Three Words That Changed My Life by Merril Hoge took me through steps of cancer that I have never thought about. I was in tears before I even got to page ten.

Our mindset in life can take us far in life as long as we stay positive and take care of what needs to be done. We can "find a way" through anything that life throws at us.

My Thoughts The Coming Of the Economic Armageddon By Dr. David Jeremiah The Coming Of The Economic Armageddon by Dr. David Jeremiah, Is one of the most eye opening books I have read in a long time! The book starts out talking about the national debt. Wow! I had never really thought twice about it and don't know a lot about politics or how the government comes up with their money or what they do with it. I have always wanted to know more but never knew how to learn about it. Dr. David Jeremiah breaks it down for you completely. Even down to how Medicare and social security was started and exactly how much we owe to what countries. I found this book flat out frightening in some parts. Don’t get me wrong I am so glad to have read this book! But to look at what is happening to the U.S. on a much deeper level was crazy. Dr. David Jeremiah also talks about everything from a biblical perspective. The things that are happening have been predicted by prophets and teachers in the bible. Dr. … [Read more...]

My Thoughts on The Church Awakening By Charles R. Swindoll The Church Awakening The Urgent Call For Renewal by Charles R. Swindoll is a book about the erosion in religion. Charles talks about how many churches and religions are going off track. It used to be that every Sunday people went to church in their Sunday best with their bible in hand. Now some people are lucky if they even remember to bring the bible along. I myself see what the author is talking about to some extent. But on the other hand, I am so firm in my faith and I don't feel that any of that is happening in my church so it is a little harder for me to relate.   While reading the first chapter of The Church Awakening I could not put the book down. But by the end if the second chapter I has lost interest. I felt that it was the same things over and over again. I agree with many of the points that Charles was making but I also feel that the points could have gotten across to the reader in fewer words. Buy … [Read more...]

Meaning that I understood the words and I did not feel that everything was over my head.

My Thoughts on Without A Word By Jill Kelly I love reading biographies about celebrities because it just makes me realize that they really are people with everyday issues just like you and me. Without A Word by Jill Kelly was a very uplifting book. Every parent hopes and wishes for a healthy child. Some are fortunate with healthy children and others are not but no matter what situation you are dealt with all that matters in the long run is what you do with it. Jill Kelly goes through everything in this book from the beginning of her and Jim’s relationship to the marriage starting to fail and the trying times of having a sick child. I also love that no matter what Jim and Jill found the positive and was held together by the love they felt for their children. Without A Word is about how a boy’s unspoken life changed everything. It focuses on the life of Hall of Fame Quarterback Jim Kelly and his wife Jill's son Hunter who was born with a disease that crushed his parent’s dreams of a … [Read more...]

On The Back Dear Friend, May I share a story that is very dear to my heart? It’s a story of hillbillies and simple folk, net casters and tax collectors. A story of a movement that exploded like a just-opened fire hydrant out of Jerusalem and spilled into the ends of the earth: into the streets of Paris, the districts of Rome, and the ports of Athens, Istanbul, Shanghai, and Buenos Aires. A story so mighty, controversial, head spinning, and life changing that two millennia later we wonder: Might it Happen Again? Heaven knows we hope so. These are devastating times: 1.75 Billion people are desperately poor; one billion are hungry. Lonely hearts indwell our neighborhoods and attend our schools. In the midst of it all, here we stand: you, me, and our one-of-a –kind lives. We are given a choice….an opportunity to make a big difference during a difficult time. What if we did? What if we rocked the world with hope? Worth a try, don’t you think? My Thoughts Sometimes it is easier to … [Read more...]
