Out Live Your Life

Wow, wow, wow. I just finished reading "Out Live Your Life" by Max Luado and it was another life-changing book. Lucado takes you back in time and looks at the stories from the first church in Acts and turns them into modern day tales. It is so easy to relate to what the first church was going through, and I felt like I was there with them. Each story then went on to challenge us modern day Christians how we can become involved in even the smallest things to really make a difference in this word. I have been challenged by this book to take action to really out live my life. There are so many easy ways to help others all over the world in a matter of minutes. I am thankful that Lucado brings these ways to our attention, but it is our responsibility to take the step to really make a difference.


Already I have taken action and sponsored a child through World Vision, sponsored a friend raising money for the cause for orphans, and I am talking to several people I know about helping to micro-financing others in third world countries. These all took a matter of minutes, and I challenge you to do something as well.

Book Review! A Girl's Guide to Life by Katie Meier

A Girl’s Guide to Life by Katie Meier is a great book. As someone who works with young girls, and has been in a place where may young girls are today, I wish I would have had this book when I as a pre-teen/teenager. This book looks into the three main parts of a person, body, mind, and soul. Topics range from self-esteem to parents to relationships and how your body is changing. Meier asks a lot of great questions throughout the chapters that will make any one think. This book is also relevant to the times we live in as it discusses the cyber world, texting, an about all the technology we have at our fingertips. I would recommend this book to any parent of a young or teenage girl, anyone who works with girls (teachers, youth workers, youth pastors, mentors, etc). Once again, another great book from Thomas Nelson Publishers.

"Green"

Here is another review for a book from Thomas Nelson Publishers.
I have been attempting to read the book "Green" by Ted Dekker for months now, and just can not seem to get into it. It is very well written, but not my style of book. I would recommend it if you like science fiction things, and books that jump back and forth between time periods.
