Review of Whatever The Cost

This book is written from the viewpoint of the two Benham brothers. The part of their life they are writing about was a short-lived reality television show for one of the cable networks. This book shows how they were feeling at the time and the many lessons they learned while enduring. I found the writing to be more of a friend telling another friend about a difficult time they went through and how the Lord helped them. It flowed well from chapter to chapter and the writing style was easy to understand. It is not two men wining about something or wanting to get their side of the story out. It is about two men wanting to show how the Lord has led in their lives and how we can learn from their hardships. There are many principles that can be taken away from reading this book. In fact there were so many I have two pages full of comments I copied down! I would recommend this book for any Christian going through a difficult work situation right now. I would also recommend it for any Christian needing some encouragement while feeling they are the only ones standing up for something they believe in. This is a 5 out of 5 star book!!!!





I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

You Can Adopt Without Debt Book Review

If you are looking into adopting or know someone who is thinking about it, this would be a great book for you. I found the ideas to be simply explained and very easy to understand. I did find about 10 percent of it tedious and not helpful but overall a lot of helpful information. I did enjoy the authors writing style but do not think I would read this book again. That said, I would recommend this for any one having difficulty with the financial issues that go along with adopting.

Women Heroes of the American Revolution

I can’t say anything negative about this book! It has stories of women that are not spoken of often. Some you may have heard of and some maybe not. I enjoyed each one! They are well written and easy to understand. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys history and intriguing women. I think those who especially like quick stories that are easy to read but also entertaining will love this book and not put it down till they are finished. I would highly recommend this for any young girl to read as it show just how much a woman can do even when faced with day to day obstacles. A definite 5 out of 5 star book from me!

Beyond Orange County By Lydia McLaughlin

Let me start by saying I have seen the show this author was a part of. I do not think you have to have watched the show to enjoy this book. In fact I would recommend you read it whether you know who the author is or not. From the first page you will feel like you are sitting at the kitchen table talking to a close friend. I liked how you are taken behind closed doors and made to feel right at home. The author does an excellent job of discussing her issues and feelings without making judgement on others. I like how she admits to faults and does not come across as thinking more highly of herself because she has been on a television show. I would recommend this book to any Christian woman who enjoys reading about how others Christians work hard to make it in this world while keeping their testimony. I would also recommend the book to anyone interested in the lifestyle of a television personality.

The Confession by Robert Whitlow

It is always better to tell the truth. This book shows how a lie about an accident affected the main characters’ life for years. The story itself is slow to get into but the depth of the characters helps make it interesting. I thought the conversations and details were excellently written. I did however, have to put the book down a few times and come back to it to make it through. It was just a bit slow for my taste but still a good story. I would recommend the book to anyone looking for an in-depth look at how guilt from the past can make your life better or worse. I would also recommend the book to any fans of this author as this book was better then his last!

10 Ways to Say I Love You By Josh McDowell

I think that this book will help any couple no matter how long they have been married. It really is good for any couple, not just married ones but dating ones as well. I found lots of practical and easy to understand advice. One area the author touches on is not being understood. He writes about most issues in marriage have to do with misunderstandings. These could be about how to spend money to how someone makes a comment with a certain tone in their voice. Being able to communicate that something is bothering you will help with any miscommunication that arises. I learned that truly listening to the other person and trying to understand what they are saying and feeling can help your marriage thrive not just survive. I would recommend this for any couple to read together or for one spouse to read to better understand the other.

Twisted Innocence By Terri Blackstock

This book did not have me on the edge of my seat from the first page but the suspense built over a few chapters. I have always enjoyed books by Terri Blackstock and this one did not disappoint! There is the usual suspense that helps keep this book moving but there is also great family interaction. The way the family of the main character, Holly, pull together to help her and her children is very inspiring. I liked the conversations as they felt like ones real families would have not just quick written conversations to fill the pages. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys suspense stories, family stories, Christian fiction and of course Terri Blackstock fans!
