Plain Wisdom by Cindy Woodsmall and Miriam Flaud

The book Plain Wisdom by Cindy Woodsmall and Miriam Flaud is a great concept for a book but is lacking in cohesiveness. I really enjoyed reading parts of this book, but felt that parts of it were lacking. Each chapter has a different theme, and then 2 stories of everyday events to go along with it, one of which is from an Amish woman. It was really neat to read from an Amish woman's perspective different events that have taken place, this isn't something that you get to read everyday. It was also really neat that sprinkled throughout the book are recipes. Thanks to WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for providing me with an advance reading copy of this book.

Life Promises for Success by Jim Tressel

The book Life Promises for Success by Jim Tressel, is a compliation of bible verses and little stories about different areas of life. This book is an easy read, although it didn't really hold my attention because it just seemed like a bunch of random thoughts. This book would make a great book for light reading in the bathroom or on the coffee table. Thanks to Tyndale House Publishers for providing me with a complimentary copy of the book.

Who is My Shelter by Neta Jackson

Who is My Shelter by Neta Jackson a Yada Yada House of Hope Novel is a continuation of the Yada Yada Prayer Group books. This book is about Gabby who is in a broken marriage, raising 2 sons and trying her best to figure out what God has in store for her.

I really enjoyed the Yada Yada Prayer Group books so I was hoping that this book would be just as enjoyable. This book has some of the original characters along with a new cast. I really enjoyed this book and felt instantly drawn into the story line. This book is very well written, and it was hard to put down because I really wanted to find out what was going to happen next. This book was inspiring and encouraging proving that a marriage can overcome anything as long as both people are working to bring resolution. I highly recommend this book and will definitely be sharing it with friends. Booksneeze has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book for review.
