The Covered Deep by Brandy Vallance Book Review




My review;

I just finished reading The Covered Deep and I liked it. The storyline was different but fun. Poor Bianca Marshall, just because she has turned 25 her mother thinks her thoughts of what a man should be are not truly realistic. She wins a contest and takes off on a search of her hero. Will she ever find her true love?  Will it be too late or will she just be in time? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of  review and all opinions are my own.

Roar by Scottie Nell Hughes Review

My Review:
I would say that this book is for the women of today, just like Rosie the Riveter was for the women of World War II. This book proves that women can have it all and be successful. From Hobby Lobby to religious freedom, this author covers it. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

Drucker & Me by Bob Buford Review

Drucker & Me, the inspiring new title by Bob Buford, reveals how he and the “father of modern management” conspired to change the world. Buford tells the compelling story of an unlikely, 23-year friendship between the Austrian-born Peter Drucker, who loves Japanese-art, and a wealthy Texas cable TV operator and ardent Dallas Cowboys fan. Drucker & Me tells how two men discover a mutual passion and strategy that will literally change the world. Drucker & Me not only offers a unique perspective on the life of the famed Peter Drucker but calls readers to a personalized vision—focused on leaving a lasting legacy of their own in work, family, and friendship. 

My Review:
This is a story about friendship and paying it forward. This is a true story and I enjoyed the unforgettable legacy. If all of us worked with non-profits then the world would definitely be different.  It is amazing what 2 minds can do, especially ones form different backgrounds that want to help others. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

My Review:
This was a really good book that gave me perspective. It made me think a lot about Heaven and about my dad that died 4 years ago. It seems like it was yesterday. This book gave me faith that we will meet again in heaven. This book answered any questions I had on Bible Prophecy. There is also a great study Questions section at the end. I did not like the part about Obama. I highly recommend that you get this book and at least read "The Top Ten Questions About Heaven". I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
