Even though I’m no longer in the traditional M-F/8-5 work force, I welcomed the opportunity to read and review The Male Factor by Shaunti Feldhahn because I observed and encountered many things during my ten “working” years and wondered what she has to say about “the unwritten rules, misperceptions, and …

Chantel Hobbs’ latest book, The One Day Way is a great book for those hoping to get fit in the new year without jumping on any of the latest diett bandwagons.  I appreciate her simple approach, “…focus on today and today only…”  which keeps one from getting hung up on previous failures or …

The Myth of Multitasking:  (How “Doing It All” Gets Nothing Done) by Dave Crenshaw.  This business novel follows Phil, an executive coach, as he teaches his client, Helen, and the employees of her clothing company how they can become more productive by eliminating the costs (financial, time, relational, etc) of multitasking.  After Phil helps Helen analyze …

I’ve heard of such churches, but have no personal experience with any. I found the incidents of international …

For a couple of reasons, I have invited one of the pastor’s wives from our church to step in as a guest reviewer for this book, Kiss Me Again by Barbara Wilson. One. The book needed to be read while I was on vacation. Two. Shari is the wife of …

I’ve hesitated to post a review of Holy Roller by Julie Lyons which was supposed to have been done clear back in July because of all the books I’ve been asked to review by WaterBrook Press this one has been my least favorite. First. I had an extremely hard time …
