Nick of Time By Tim Down

Nick of Time By Tim Down

I honestly wish I could give this book a real rating, unfortunately the book had a hole in the package which caused rain to seep , soaking the book and not to mention something at the post office punctured the pages; it was real heavy and sharp because it punctured the last half to the book, adding insult to injury with the water, they’re out of copies so I’m just going to have to review this as ‘unreadable’ so my account allows me to get another book, hopefully this time the post office won’t be complete idiots and set something down on the book to where I have to throw it away upon arrival. I apologize for not being able to give a good or bad review on this book as it was completely destroyed. If it’s not my neighbors being thieves and taking my books, it’s the post office being idiots and setting 4000 pound items on top to make my book unreadable.

Beyond Talent Become Someone Who Gets Extraordinary Results by John Maxwell

Beyond Talent Become Someone Who Gets Extraordinary Results by John Maxwell is a book that unmasks true belief in oneself to accomplish anything and have the talent to believe that they are good enough. The book starts out straight forward - explaining someone’s talent and learning how to exploit their talent while believing more then themselves. John is a business guru; explaining to people that it’s not just a talent-but choices different ones make and lead to. The book was explained simply and offered a lot of information to help young professionals as well as business people exploit, decide and go with what they choose. It offers help on so many other things and each chapter fits well into itself right up until the end. I recommend this book to anyone trying to find what their nitch is, he gives you all the information that would be needed. I personally liked it while he was explaining to his son about the baseball who didn’t believe in himself about being the best player out there and in the end he discovered he was - John walks through personal life to correspond to what other people maybe going through. It’s definitely a book worth checking out!

God's Promises for the American Patriot - Deluxe Edition By Richard Lee, Jack Countryman

God's Promises for the American Patriot - Deluxe Edition By Richard Lee, Jack Countryman

This is definitely a book for the devoted Christian, combining history of the signing of the declaration of independence and how each individual that signed the declaration shared in God’s word and promise for a brighter America. It was an interesting read with guides from the bible, to the author’s clear view on our history- it’s not a boring book; it focuses on the old political views of politics while combining the belief of Christianity. Something I think a lot of people would find interesting- even if they aren’t religious. I picked this book out solemnly for the history and to see what else I can learn in the important part of our history. Though it’s changed from 200 years ago, our forefathers had something that lacks in today’s political views-honesty. They stood by God’s word, and I recommend this book to people who are interested in religion and political history as well as anyone who wants to know more about history and religion. Read this book, you may find some interesting facts and things you didn’t know before!

DG The Dopple Gang The Secret Of Indigo Moon by GP Taylor

DG The Dopple Gang by GP Taylor

I love how this book combines illustration, comics, a story and pictures. It has a very unique storyline to it, one I think most kids or mystery readers will love. It’s about a gang who goes in search to solve mysteries (almost like Scooby Doo) They discover a tunnel and come face to face with a kooky private investigator who seems to be good at getting into trouble then he does staying out of it. The of course old enemies surface; bent on destroying everything that the gang has worked so hard to keep. It’s a really page turner and does more good for young adults then it does adults. The comics were vivid and the pictures throughout were just great to help make the story really jump! I recommend this book for sure - give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Unleashed Release the Untamed Faith Within By Erwin McManus

Unleashed Release the Untamed Faith Within By Erwin McManus gives an insight of the Christian faith-one between the civilized faith and the uncivilized. He opens up with describing his daughter and describing her passion for music and the decisions she would have to make while away from home-describing uncertainty and fear. He moves on seemingly easy to describing what creates fear and exampling it into religion. From that point it turns into describing the barbaric side of religion to people who hold onto hope but not fully accepting Christ, the chapter was fascinating to read and made a lot of good points. There are scripts depicting the lesson the chapter wants you to learn, and it’s an easy read. It goes on to describe John the Baptist as the author gives a reason why he is a barbarian-but in that case, wouldn’t we all be? There are some points I don’t agree with but others I do. He gives a really good point in describing what a true Christian is and what a barbarian is; ones who think they know God; and ones that truly know him. I do recommend this book fully and have read other books like it and they offer a great insight into religion as well as keeping faith - the right way. I recommend this book to someone who’s involved in the faith to get a better understanding on truly accepting Christ and all that he has to offer. The author did a fantastic job even though some points he made were unnecessary.

I'm a speed reader and managed to read this book fully within two hours. I also acquired this book through digital download, reading is a really strong point for me and am able to read through and love reading so I do tend to read extremely fast and understand the book quite well without missing anything with main points. I hope to get more books as I go through them quickly.

Jolt!: Get the Jump on a World That's Constantly Changing by Phil Cooke

Jolt!: Get the Jump on a World That's Constantly Changing by Phil Cooke is a book that allows us to change with the times in a a world that is constantly changing-constantly adapting, and this book helps us to adapt with the world outside as well as help us keep true to who we really are. He tackles through tough questions and advices as well as give views to understanding in the business, political and church world, showing them and us how to adapt with the times. After all we live in an advance technological world that’s going to keep getting more and more advanced as the years roll by. I liked the book, although it’s not really my cup of tea as I don’t keep up with the latest trends or technologies, which sometimes get me pretty lost. I did however learn a lot from the book and see things a little more clearer then I had before. I believe that someone who is a technology guru or even someone trying to keep up with the technology can learn to adapt and change with this book. It didn’t do much for more but it is a great book in helping to mold and change the lives of someone who does have trouble.

Heart of Ice By Lis Wiehl and April Henry

Heart of Ice By Lis Wiehl and April Henry is a fast paced thriller with even more of an explosive plot, a must for any person who loves to read! This is the third installment to the triple threat series and is sure to knock you off your feet! Elizabeth Avery is a character who is both cunning, manipulative and for a third charm a cold blooded killer-one of the most intense characters I have probably ever encountered while reading. She is smart and knows the business of killing-but being a sociopath that’s to be expected. When Cassidy starts to go to the local gym she undoubtedly enters into Elizabeth’s web, from there things start to take form from one bizarre twist to another. The writer had an amazing idea and one you could feel through the pages while reading, every emotion and character was set just right and I recommend this book to anyone who loves thriller and suspense. Each page is an adventure, along with a little bit of heartache as you feel empathy for certain characters because of a hard time or tragedy they‘re going through, or ones that you feel utter distaste for. This story is amazing and one I will most likely be reading again!

The Corruptible: A Ray Quinn Mystery by Mark Mynheir

The Corruptible: A Ray Quinn Mystery by Mark Mynheir is an action packed book with an even more adventure filled plot. Each page is a real suspense right to the very end! It opens up with Quinn about to be beat senseless by an angry husband of a client they had investigated. Just as he was about to be pulverized- his friend helps him out; opening up to be a real adventure. He and his partner Crevis opens up a private investigator’s office, receiving a call from a man who’s employee an ex-cop stole some sensitive information, when he goes to track that information down he finds the person he was going after dead in a sleazy Orlando Florida Hotel; leaving him with more questions then answers. On top of that the information that was stolen from his employer was taken from the one who originally took it. It sometimes lacks in originality but the plot really moves and you find yourself turning the page and unable to put the book down. I definitely recommend it!
