The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren is truly life changing! It made me think about my purpose here on earth. I know that I am on this earth for a reason. I believe that I was made for a mission.

The Quotable Chesterton: The Wit and Wisdom of G.K. Chesterton by Kevin Belmonte

The Quotable Chesterton: The Wit and Wisdom of G.K. Chesterton by Kevin Belmonte is a fascinating collection of quotes from the writings of G.K. Chesterton. I really loved that each quote was organized by topic, in alphabetical order. It is such a great format because I like being able to pick up the book and browse though it by topic. I very much enjoyed reading these quotes from his writings because it really shows that he was a man with such deep insight, but also with such great wit, which I think many people will appreciate also. His views are absolutely fascinating and it such a joy to read such an excellent compilation of quotes. It is a book that I did not want to put down! I really appreciate his sense of humor and the fact that he had such a way with words. It is a wonderful collection of quotes that you can just get lost in for hours. (And love every minute of it.) The quotations of G.K. Chestermon's writings were compiled by Kevin Belmonte and in a very wonderful format, that I very much enjoyed reading. Thank you to Thomas Nelson Publishers for such a wonderful gift!

Unto the Hills: A Daily Devotional by Billy Graham

Unto the Hills: A Daily Devotional by Billy Graham is an incredible devotional! I couldn't put it down! Each day is filled with Scripture and the author's prayer which I absolutely loved. I also really like the fact that the book can be browsed through by each month. This book has been such an inspiration for me to live a more fulfilling life each and every day. The message I really got from this book was to live fearlessly as we all walk together in Christ's path. Psalm 121 as well as many Scripture from the bible clearly state that we do not need to be afraid because the Lord is always with us, watching over us. What a wonderful message this is! I've always felt more at peace reading the bible and this book really made me understand why. It really made me feel even more close to the Lord and more at peace each and every day. This book is one you will go back and read every day for its powerful message is so encouraging. I absolutely loved this devotional and the writing style of the author is just so inspiring! This book was a gift from Thomas Nelson Publishers and it came at the perfect time for me. I'm very grateful for this timely gift.

God's Promises for Women of Faith by Jack Countryman is a wonderful book. I will start with the cover of this book. I absolutely love it! It's very lovely and eye catching.

Let's Do Lunch: Eating all the Calories and Carbs you want to lose weight! by Roger Troy Wilson

Let's Do Lunch: Eating all the Calories and Carbs you want to lose weight! by Roger Troy Wilson is a fascinating perspective on dieting, complete with a great plan, and some great ideas! I love that the author shared his personal story as well. It was interesting to read about his experience and his perspective on dieting as well as healthy eating. The eating plan is structured and easy to understand. There is some life changing advice in this book in terms of eating healthy. Some of these ideas have certainly changed my mindset about eating and it is rare for that to happen to me. For example, one idea from the book suggests eating fruit because it eliminates sugar cravings and as someone who loves sweets. this has been extremely helpful for me. I really love that the book has such great advice on dealing with cravings because I've found that a lot of books don't really touch on that enough. Not only that, but there is a lot of information on dealing with specific cravings, and that has been very helpful. I really appreciate that the author provided so many delicious recipes as well. I have already tried three of them and I'm looking forward to trying more. I made the pizza soup, and it is absolutely delicious, and I am already losing weight! Let's Do Lunch was a gift from Thomas Nelson Publishers and I am thankful.

A Girl's Guide to Life by Katie Meier

I received a copy of A Girl's Guide to Life by Katie Meier from Thomas Nelson Publishers and I found it to be a great guide for young women. It touches on so many different subjects. From peer pressure to sex to even the subjects of text messaging and the internet! I especially love that the author really addresses how to be cautious when it comes to technology. So many young women use cell phones and the internet on a daily basis, so I think its really important to touch on this subject considering technology is a part of daily life for many people! It was nice to see this topic as well as many others. Such a broad range of topics. I feel like the tone of this book is definitely self respect and I absolutely love that because sometimes young women can forget how important that is with all the pressures of adolescence. Unfortunately it can be easy to lose sight of whats important: Self respect and respect for others. I really think that reading this guide will remind young women of what is important and empower them. This is a wonderful guide that I really believe in. I think it can definitely make a difference in a young woman's self esteem. This book has an incredible, powerful message. I wish there were more books like this one!
