Against the Grain: 150 Good Carb Mediterranean Recipes by: Diane Kochilas

I have been on a quest to healthier way of eating a friend recommended this book. I picked it up and I am actually really enjoying the recipes. I found them very tasty. I love the use of fresh vegetables and extra virgin olive oil. I was not use to using garlic and now it is a main staple in my pantry. I love the recipes I do have to eliminate the meat from some of the recipes, but I really do love the book. I heard the Mediterranean Diet is the way to go and I am very happy I picked up this cook book. I really recommend that you add Against the Grain to your kitchen counter.

It Is Well With My Soul by: Shelly Beach

Shelly Beach is a writer, public speaker and college writing instructor. I was given the opportunity to read her latest book. I was given this book for free from Discovery House Publishing. I truly enjoyed the book. This book is a wonderful gift for that special someone who may be going through a dark season in their life. It is also just a wonderful book to find healing and a spiritual comforting of your soul. As I read each intimate story I found a wonderful peace knowing that our God who we serve is a God of love, compassion and understanding. I do not want to give the book away but there was a story about two friends who were traveling on a train, and they were on a tight budget. They shared their food. Well they happened to notice a lady who had a bag of bologna sandwiches. Well the lady ran out of sandwiches and had nothing to eat so when the lady got up to stretch her legs the two friends got what money they had left and gave her a little offering. Well when the lady came back she read the note and accepted the offering. As she turned around she told the two friends I know this was you. She turned around and gave them a hug and they ended up talking and sharing. That is just a small peak of the type of stories you will read. I really loved this book and I will truly give this book to those who need to be reminded that they are not alone.

Drew Brees Coming Back Stronger with Chris Fabrey

I use to like football but players like Michael Vick made me stop watching the game all together. I thought football changed and all athletes where just as bad as those whose scandals hit the 9:00 p.m. News. But that all changed I received this book for free from bookbub.com and I loved this book. Drew Brees made me realize that their still some great players that love the game. Players that you would not be afraid to let your children route for. Coming Back Stronger is an inspirational book. Drew Brees shares his story of injury, recovery, and how he became the Quarterback for the Saints. I can tell you this I routed for him at every page. Drew Brees not only shared the love of football, but also the love and respect he has for God. Drew Brees knew that it was because of God he was able to face the trials in his life. This book is a must read I hope you let it inspire you as it inspired me. God Bless
