The Charlaton's Boy review

The Charlatan's Boy takes a reader in to a world of people trying to make a living by using people and hustling them. The main character of the story is a young boy not knowing his parents and having a low self-esteem but having adventure of a life time. During his adventure he starts to figure out life and who he is. This book is very well written about this boy trying to find himself. This book is deep but is not too deep at the same time for young readers. Most of us can relate to some of the experiences that the main character is going though. It is not over the top in your face about issues but is written is a way to get you thinking about things in your own life. This is a great and easy read and cannot wait for the next book in this series.

WaterBrook Multnomah has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book.

Review of In His Image Bible

In His Image Devotional Bible NLT is very well organized. You can take one of God’s images and read about it through the whole bible or just start from the beginning and read. There are over 300 references to God’s image so you can do one a day reading or go at your own pace. One of the big things I like is now I know where to find these different images of God in scriptures. This will help someone to memorize verses with the same topic. The one thing I had to get use to is the placing of the page numbers. They are not on the outside of the pages but in the middle of the pages. Once you realize where the placing of the page numbers are it really is not a big deal. Overall this a great study bible.

Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book.

Then Sings My Soul Special Edition Review

The book, Then Sings My Soul Special Edition, is a great book to remember hymns from for the past. There are 150 hymns in this book with each one having a story behind it. It is amazing how each one comes alive after reading the history of the hymns. This will help give you a new meaning for of some of the hymns. It will also give you a new perspective for your favorite ones. This book is a must have for everyone that has heard hymns in their life.

Caffeine in milligrams

I am not missing soft drinks as much as I thought I would. Here is the amount of caffeine in milligrams.

Dr Pepper 42-44 (i guess it depend on the person/machine making the drinks that day)

Regular Tea 40

So I guess no withdrawals from caffeine. It is still early. Next time I will look up the sugar amount in the drinks.

POP or COKE no more

Back in April of this year I decided to give up diet drinks. So I switched to the regular stuff. Little did I know that there would be withdrawals from not drinking diet drinks. I now had the regular stuff in my system. But 13 days into no diet drinks came restless nights, pains throughout my body and the worse poop I have every had. I finally figured out the reason for the withdrawals --- aspartame.

So now it will be Tea and/or Water for all meals. I guess will find out in the coming days if there will be any withdrawals.

Awesome Book - The Heavens Proclaim His Glory

The Heavens Proclaim His Glory will make the perfect coffee table book. With this book we get a glimpse of just have big our universe is. The pictures are very amazing. I am glad the Hubble Telescope was invented because we would not experience stars, planets and other objects billions and billions and billions of light years away without it. We have such a creative God that our minds cannot fathom. Along with the pictures are inspirational messages that add to the beauty of the pictures. This is a great book just to sit back enjoy the splendor of the Creator.

Outlive Your Life You Were Made to Make a Difference - Review

Outlive Your Life You Were Made to Make a Difference, by Max Lucado is a great book about how to make an impact now and in the future. This book will give you, ideas of ways to outlive your life. One of the examples that I remember the most is the small business loans to owners of less fortune countries. The idea is not to just give them money but to have them pay the loan back. Plus it is not just one owner but several owners in that community so there is good peer pressure for each one to succeed. There are many more ideas in this book so that maybe one or two will agree with you and you can give them a try. This is an easy read and a book that will get you to think.
