Fearless


Living in fear seems to be the norm these days. There is always a reason to fear something. But after reading this book, not really any more. In the book, I have learned that there is truly only one healthy, logical fear, and now it's not the current state of our world! It's God.
This book began working in me from page one. It really hit me the hardest during chapter 13 when it was talking about how things in the world are expected to get worse. This chapter reminded me yet again that all of these things that are happening right now in our world are not a surprise to God and were talked about in the Bible.
I have to say that this book really draws the reader in and refuses to let go until the very end. When I began to read this book, I just wanted to continue reading and had to force myself to put it down in order to accomplish anything else.
When I finished this book, I felt challenged to live my life with no fear. I need to put all of my trust in God, since He knows what's happening. I know that things may get tough, but I should just let Him work in my life instead of fear controlling my life.
Not only would I recommend this book to others, but I have already shared my copy of the book with a friend the moment I finished it. Thumbs up for another great book from Max Lucado!

The Noticer



I received this book for free from BookSneeze® for this review.



I finished reading The Noticer by Andy Andrews a couple of weeks ago and my perspective on things surrounding me has completely changed. I'm more apt to look for a different perspective of a situation. While reading the book, I could easily place myself in some of the situations and how I would have dealt with them before knowing that it just takes a little perspective to make the situation better. By the end of the book I was creating in my head the perspective that I thought Jones would be giving to the characters dealing with a particular situation. This book was definitely an easy read. Once you pick up the book, make sure that you have the time to finish it because it won’t be easy to stop reading. I started reading it and couldn’t stop until it was finished a couple hours later. Andy Andrews did a wonderful job of drawing the readers in and keeping their attention throughout the entire book. This is one of my best reads recently!
