It's Just You and Me Lord by: Marion Stroud

It's Just You and Me Lord was a lovely and intimate book.  I did not know what to really expect when I requested this book.  I was not disappointed the book is actually about women and their prayers that they tell to God.  It was so intimate that I was very moved.  After reading the book I had to actually examine my own prayer life and realized I needed to begin my intimate talks with God just as these ladies have done. I really enjoyed the book and I recommend this book to all women.  It is a very moving and wonderful book and I am sure you will enjoy it as I have.  

I received this book for free from NetGalley.com and Discovery House Publishing.  This review is solely on  my thoughts of the book and I was not influenced in any way.  Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.  

Second Chances More Stories of Grace by: Max Lucado

Loved loved this book. I an a great fan of Max Lucado and I would like to tell you I was not disappointed. Second Chances is a book of how God gives us second chances all the time. I had to keep a box of tissue next to me. I would read a chapter and I would just begin to cry. You are reminded on every page of the endless Grace, Love & Mercy God gives us every day, and we are so undeserving of that kind of love, but God gives it to us. My favorite story of the book is about the redeeming daughters. The one who danced with her daddy, and the one who's mom posted her photo all over the city. Their we're so many other stories but I do not want to give the book away. You would just have to buy the book and read for yourself.

The Call To Work A Biblical Perspective by: Robert H. Erdmann

We as Christians wonder about their work and how God sees it. In the book the author discusses the history of work from The Beginning of Genesis to the Industrial Revolution. the book began slow but then I would come across a chapter that would capture my attention. Such as in chapter 4. In this chapter Jesus speaks about the humility of the lesser one and how we should apply this attitude of humility and all that we do be to Gods glory and not to puff ourselves up. In the end the author touches on our desire to have meaning. God leads us to talents and gifts and as we get older we develop our gifts and use them to bring glory to God. We were created to please God with our talents, and we should be happy with the gifts that God has given. We must remember there is no other like us. So no matter our vocation, or call do it with great joy so that we bring glory to God. I enjoyed this book and I would recommend you add this to your library.

Baking Basics by Pat Sinclair

I have always loved to cook and bake, but I have to admit I am not a real baker. I always take short cuts. I am what you would call a semi-homemade baker. When I received this book I opened it immediately. I loved the recipes I actually made from scratch a butter cake with a butter cream frosting. I was so proud and happy that the recipe was so easy to follow. I love this book and I am now going to make all my deserts from scratch. I received this book for free from bookbub.com.

The Total Money Makeover by: Dave Ramsey

I must admit I have had this book for about a year. I finally got sick and tired of ending the year with no money and being negative in my checking account. I started to see my future through my mother. She is 75 years old and is maxed out in life. She has claimed bankruptcy twice back in debt and refinanced her house and is now in debt for 350,000 . So I finally opened the book. I want to say I had no hope getting out of debt or even owning a home some day. I do not have a college education and thought going to college was out of reach at least for me, but after reading this book Dave Ramsey gave me back my hope. I am starting baby step 1 and then I will tackle me debt snowball. I am going to live like no one else so later I can live like no one else. I look forward to my future. Dave Ramsey made going to college a goal I can attain, and that if I accomplish my steps that one day I can buy a home and pay cash. Everyone should read this book I am going to buy two books and gift them to my grown children so we can break the cycle of being fat, broke and maxed out on life. Thank you Dave Ramsey.
