book review: frame 232

Historical fiction is a fun genre to me and this book is no different.  Throw in JFK and a fictitious story behind it and you get Frame 232 written by wil mara
  I have always been intrigued by the jfk murder.  rumors float around.  this book takes a theory and runs with it.  this says there was a woman at the scene filming during the murder and she has never came forward.  what would happen if she was located?  we could know the truth to the jfk murder.
this book  was given to me for free in exchange with an honest review by tyndale publishers.

Book Review: Killing Lions by John and Sam Eldredge

John Eldredge is one of my favorite authors pf all time.  When I heard of his new book written with his son, i got excited.
Killing Lions is a unique book.  It is written as a conversation between father and son.  The book is specifically written for people in their 20's navigating through life's challenges and changes.
Even though I am past my 20's I benefited from reading it because I have a son and at some point i will have to help him become a man
This book helps guys become men in the godly sense of the word.  if you are in your 20's or are looking for something for your 20 something son, this is the book, i highly recommend it to you.

book review: Dancing on the Head of a Pen by Robert Benson

I often write and have a dream of publishing a novel some day.  So I read every book that comes out about writing and the writing life.  I picked up Dancing on the head of a pen by Robert Benson won a whim because to be honest, i never heard of him before.
I loved this book.  it is an easy read and very practical and hands on.  Benson blends his story of learning about how to write himself with ideas i can use right now.
My favorite chapter was chapter four: on writing every day.  It helped me realize that it is very important to keep writing even if you feel it isnt that good.  Benson claims that just getting it down is very important.  I happen to agree.
If you are a writer or a wannabe like me, you will love this book.  and now that I have read this book I will pick up other Robert Benson books to see the books behind the man i read about.
I recieved this book for free from Waterbrook Multnomah publishers and through the blogging for books website.  thanks to them! 

reviewing the marriage book by Doug Fields called "7 WAYS TO BE HER HERO"

Hey, I just got done reading the book, 7 ways to be her hero by Doug Fields.  This is a marriage book written by a guy for guys.  It is very hands on and practical.  Doug Fields writes in a very humorous way and he will make the guy who hates to read love this book.
If you are married and know other married men, buy this book for you and for them...SHHH, dont tell your wife you are reading it. Let it be a surprise.
I highly recommend this book for you if you want to invest into your marriage.  I got this book for free from  The booklook bloggers program.

Fiction book review: The Martian by Andy Weir

I do love a good sci-fi novel.  This one is no exception.  This is Andy Weir's first book, so we probably will see more of him in the future.
This book is like the show Lost, mixed with the the movie Cast Away and set on the planet Mars.  Mark Watney was fear dead and left on Planet Mars with limited resources and food.  This book is written in a journal entry style writing his adventures with survival and communication to earth.  Will Mark ever get back home?  Read the book and find out.
I loved this book...one thing that might distract you is all the scientific and math words.  You might be bored with the first 25-50 pages but stick with it and you will enjoy the rest.  I highly recommend it for any Sci-Fi fan.

Book Review: Soul Keeping by John Ortberg

I love John Orberg's books.  He might just be my favorite author.  I have read almost everything he has written.  When I saw a new book out called Soul Keeping, I picked it up right away and began reading it.
I love this book!  This book talks about caring for the most important part of of you.  Many people take care of their bodies but Ortberg claims that the most important part of you is your soul.  Your inner life.
I agree.  We must care for the part that will live forever.
The chapter that resonated with me the most is chapter 11: the soul needs rest.  I needed to hear that chapter and I think we all should too.
I highly recommend this book if you feel like your soul is bone dry.  God will use the teaching in this book to heal your soul.  I give it 11 stars out of 10.

When we were on fire book review

I have to be honest, I was reminded of my childhood when I read this book, granted I am a man not a woman like the author.  I was on fire for God during school.  but that meant I was in a christian sub-culture that meant little to real life in the real world.  This book is a memoir of a young woman looking back at her jr. high and high school years in being on fire for God.
If you like a good memoir, this is a good book.  If that is not your thing, dont pick this up.
I believe we can learn from other peoples stories.  
Pick up this book to bring the passion in God back to where it should be.
