Book Review: God Wants A Powerful People

I was a little slow reading God Wants a Powerful People by Sheri Dew because I enjoyed reading a chapter - or even part of a chapter - and pondering it for a while... I have a whole notebook of notes on this book!

I REALLY enjoyed this book and there were SO many things in it that touched my heart. I have been going through some family issues this past few weeks and truly believe that I was suppose to read THIS book at THIS exact time because the subjects in the book were SO relevant to me in my life at this time.

It is an amazing book and has inspired me to be a better person!

Book Review: Gracie, A Love Story

I just finished reading the book "Gracie, A Love Story" by George Burns.

I think it was a fun book to read and very enjoyable, although it wasn't a favorite of mine. I did LOVE reading how much George Burns loved and admired his wife and how he attributes all his success to her.

I also enjoyed the humor in the book and a couple of times was laughing out loud and had to tell my husband the jokes...

I am definitely going to recommend this book to my Grandmother because I think she would really enjoy it since she grew up with Gracie and George, but for me... I think I was too young to fully enjoy all this book has to offer.
