Fearless

Fearless
Max Lucado

Is it possible to live a life less fear? According to Max Lucado it is if you trust in the Lord and place your fears in Him. Lucado shows that Jesus and his father can lead you to a fearless life through numerous examples from the Bible and stories from his experiences as a minister. In the times of recession and war and uncertainty it is so refreshing to have a book like this to remind us that we are not alone that we have Higher Power if we just trust in it. This is one of the best books I have read in long time. There are other books that speak on how to overcome the times but none that have showed us really how to do this. No other book uses the Bible in the manner that Max Lucado did. The book was such a quick read and left me as a reader with a great feeling and the need for more!

Rick and Bubba: Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage

Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage
by Rick Burgess and Bill "Bubba" Bussey

I read and thoroughly enjoyed Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage. The book was a humorous look into marriage and the little quirks that come along with it. Rick Burgess and Bill “Bubba” Bussey explain the arguments and seemingly hard times that come up in a marriage in a funny yet realistic way by turning situations into jokes or by using examples in their own life.

I do have to say that after listening to Rick and Bubba on the radio that the book did not come across as funny as they radio show. However, the book is funny. I often times found myself re-reading parts to my friends and husband. The book is set up in several short chapters with lists and charts throughout to summarize the chapters. I liked this set up and found it made for a very quick read. I believe that the message that God and Christianity are a vital part of marriage was conveyed and easily understood. I would very much recommend this to friend or family member. I am looking forward to reading other books by Rick and Bubba.
