FEARLESS - A GREAT GIFT IDEA FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HEROIC MILITARY STORIES

My husband was so moved by Adam Brown's heroic story that he talked at length about its encouraging message played out through Brown's life and death.  It is a posthumous biography,  well-written by Eric Blehm who chronicles Brown's life from his small town humble beginnings to the elite of the elite top tier of the U.S. military.  Unvarnished it is a portrait of a man strong enough to overcome personal defeats, and in turn, becoming an inspiration to us all.  Filled with tragedy and triumph,  this book is a compelling story of redemption, courage and sacrifice.  As many lives as Brown touched during his life, I believe he is touching even more in his death through this book.

You can buy this book at any local bookstore but I use Amazon for convenience.  If you are interested in purchasing from Amazon please click below...

GOD'S GUEST LIST - INSIGHTS REGARDING DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIPS

How would your life be changed if every person you met you asked yourself, "Why has God invited this person into my life?   What blessed influence am I to give or receive?"  Well, that's what Debbie Macomber inspires you to think about throughout this book.  The premise being that God makes no mistakes when inviting people into your life whether they be family, friends or rivals.  The challenge is to pay close enough attention as to why He feels they are important enough to be on the guest list He has created for you.  Thought provoking and encouraging, this book will help you embrace not only the lessons the "easy to love" people bring into your life but the more difficult ones as well!

My Book Club decided to read this newest non-fiction of Macomber's after having read her "One Simple Act" which we found just as inspirational.  Both books are great for gift giving and "God's Guest List" is especially great for anyone struggling with a difficult relationship.

I usually purchase books through Amazon for convenience although any local bookstore should carry this one.  If you are interested in purchasing from Amazon please click below...

ONE SIMPLE ACT: DISCOVERING THE POWER OF GENEROSITY

Debbie Macomber weaves real life heartwarming stories throughout this book based on intentional acts of generosity - including giving, forgiving, caregiving, encouraging and listening.  It discusses the scientific benefits the giver receives, ideas on how to demonstrate generosity (many requiring no cash outlay) and personal anecdotes while empowering you to share yourself with others.  Embodying the true spirit of Christmas, this book helps you discover how even one small act of generosity can have a powerful impact on the receiver as well as the giver.   I discovered this highly inspirational and motivational book through my Book Club and found it to be truly life changing.  I love giving this book at Christmas since it makes such a great holiday read although it could easily be used as a devotional year round with its profound message!
