You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be

I received “You can be everything God wants you to be” through Thomas Nelson’s Book Review Program. This book is a quick and enjoyable read. Max Lucado has filled it with inspirational selections. These selections are taken from his book, “Cure for the Common Life”. After reading this book, I plan on picking up his other book. Max Lucado uses a range of topics to show us that God wants to be a part of every aspect of our life. He wants us to allow him to direct our paths, and for us to trust that he knows what he is doing. Lucado wants readers to realize that only through God can we achieve our goals and dreams in life. This book would make a great gift for a graduate, teenager, or anyone else needing some inspiration in their life. Although this book does not take long to read, it definitely is filled with wisdom on finding purpose in life.

Rick and Bubba’s Big Honkin’ Book of Grub

I received a complimentary copy of “Rick and Bubba’s Big Honkin’ Book of Grub” from Thomas Nelson’s Book Review Program. I had never heard of radio hosts Rick and Bubba prior to reading the book. I found this book rather funny. This book does not consist of the typical diet book topics. It is actually the opposite, the authors focus on why they love food and their diet plan is funny. They are not authors writing a serious diet book about how to lose weight in a practical way. This book should not be seen as a help tool for those wishing to lose weight. However, if you are tired of all the diet talk this book can definitely lighten the dreaded topic. The author’s included some recipes in the book. The recipes are not necessarily the healthiest, but they are comfort foods. I personally enjoyed the humor in this book. I knew when I picked it up this book was meant to be funny. I had fun reading some of the excerpts to my husband, and he thought they were very true on some of their points. The lists the author’s included on various topics were hilarious. I would recommend this book to anyone just wanting to relax and laugh. The premise of this book is basically why food is an art and should be enjoyed.
