Free Book - The Radical Question by David Platt
From WaterBrook Multnomah:
It’s easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily…
But who do you know who lives like that? Do you?
Great Giveaway Going On!
As some of you may know, I participated in going through a 100 day program with Honoree Corpron Corder that she wrote a book about. This is one of the best self help books out there, and maybe the only one out there specifically for single moms. Now Honoree is giving away a signed copy of her book! All you have to do to enter is go to her website The Successful Single Mom, and leave a comment about a challenge that you faced and came through. Honoree is a great friend and an excellent coach. Whether your a single mom or not, this book will help you get you back on track and find the courage to get through anything!

Grab Bag Blog Tour – Secrets by Robin Jones Gunn & The Golden Cross by Angela Elwell Hunt
I was given a unique opportunity to be a part of this "Grab Bag Book Tour" from Blogging for Books, presented by Multnomah Books, a division of Random House publishing. Those who participated in this book tour would get 2 randomly selected books to review. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the two books that I received were. What surprised me most was that I didn't realize I was receiving two Christian titles! I'm not a Christian, so I wasn't sure I would appreciate these books as much as I did. I enjoyed them greatly though!

Book Review – Finding Happiness by Abbot Christopher Jamison
Finding Happiness: Monastic Steps for a Fulfilling Life by Abbot Christopher Jamison
In his second book, Abbot Christopher Jamison explains how the Benedictine Monks find happiness. Abbot Jamison takes you through the "Seven Deadly Thoughts", also known as the 7 deadly sins, and teaches you how to take those thoughts and turn them around to make them positive things in your life, rather than negative things. Using the Bible and "The Institutes" written by J. Cassian as guides and words to live by, Abbot Jamison leads the reader through steps to living a happy life the way the "Desert Fathers" did a long time ago. Read the rest of this entry »
