Max on Life by Max Lucado

Max on Life by Max Lucado, has Max answering the questions of readers. This book has many of the questions Max receives from his readers with his own answers and Biblical backing to them. The questions in this book are broken down into seven sections, so if there is a particular subject you have a question about you can easily see if the question is answered in the book.

I found this book interesting, although I did skip some of the questions because they didn’t interest me. It was really neat to read Max’s thoughts on the questions and see how it compared to my thinking. I also appreciated the Biblical references that were thrown in to support his answers. The book was a bit dry in places but again I think that’s just because some of the questions weren’t interesting to me. Overall I enjoyed reading this book. Thanks to Thomas Nelson for providing me with an advanced reader copy of this book.

The Take Action Bible, NKJV

What a great idea for a Bible, The Take Action Bible NKJV features real-life stories and pictures of people who are putting God’s Word into action. This ultraslim NKJV Bible features: real-life stories that show how to take action with God’s Word, personal take action notes pages, 52 take action ideas, the words of Jesus are in red, translation and text notes, concordance, and Bible reading plan.

The concept for this Bible is great it teaches how to put God’s Word into action. After reading parts of this Bible it really makes me wonder why no one has come up with this concept before. The take action ideas, really give the reader a starting point of how to put God’s Word into action and different ways to apply that principle. I am really impressed with this Bible and will be buying a few to give as gifts. I highly recommend this Bible to everyone especially those looking to put action behind their faith. Thanks to Thomas Nelson for providing me with a complimentary copy.

When Sparrows Fall by Meg Moseley

When Sparrows Fall by Meg Moseley is a great book about family secrets and how to overcome the past. Miranda the main character is part of a controlling church and trying to break free, but has some secrets in her past that make it hard to do so. This book was very enticing and hard to put down. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to others. Thanks Multnomah for providing me with an advanced reading copy.

My Foolish Heart by Susan May Warren

My Foolish Heart by Susan May Warren is a great book. The book is about Issy and Caleb and how they are a perfect match for each other yet because of the obstacles in their lives find it difficult to get to know each other.

I really enjoyed how the author developed each character and how she was able to help the characters overcome obstacles that they have in their lives. This book is a great example of how God and true love can help you overcome anything. I received an advance reader copy of this book from Tyndale.

Plain Proposal by Beth Wiseman

The book Plain Proposal by Beth Wiseman is another great book in the Daughters of the Promise Series. This book is the story of Miriam and her love for Saul, and how she is willing to do anything and go anywhere for him. This book is also about family situations and how we can rise above them.

I really enjoyed reading this book and the twists and turns that it took. There were a few times that I was left guessing what would happen next and a few times I was easily able to guess what was going to happen. This book was a great example of the love and faithfulness of the Amish to their families. The book was very interesting and I enjoyed it a great deal. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Amish fiction. I would like to thank Thomas Nelson publishing for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book.

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.
