Review of The Seven Powers of Success

The Seven Powers of Success by Charles Marshall
The author of this book, Charles Marshall, definitely has a heart for helping others succeed in life.  I liked how his personal stories all led to some kind of advice or hint on how to make your life better.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  This is not some magical book that lists these seven things that will automatically make you a success!  What the book does teach is how to move from failure to success and how to handle that success to help you in the future.  I liked the writing style of this author as well.  He is open about his struggles and also puts in bits of humor to keep the book moving along.  I would recommend this book for anyone looking to improve themselves and needing a little nudge to get started.

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.

Review of Prayer Warrior

Prayer Warrior by Stormie Omartian
If you have not read any of the other prayer books by this author, Stormie Omartian, this particular book is a great one to start with.  If you have read some of her other books you know what you getting into!  There are a lot of helpful tips on how to become a better prayer warrior.  From whom we as Christians are fighting against every day to how to use prayer in that fight.  Once you know what you are up against your prayers can be more specific and therefore more helpful to your spirit.  Although I do not always agree with ideas she has about ways to pray or things to say in the prayers, I do think that prayer changes things.  That said this book gives you some great ideas on improving your prayer life as you deal with the complications of the day.  I gave this book 4/5 stars.  I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a more intense prayer life.

Review of In Pursuit of a Princess

In Pursuit of a Princess
 
 
I liked how this story developed.  It has suspense and a bit of romance as well.  The author did very well at keeping you interested in the story with great dialogue and intriguing characters.  The main character, Lara, is a princess and has to deal with the theft of expensive art.  The main male character is written as a photographer and his name is Gabriel.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I thought the story moved from one scene to the next with ease and you wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next.  I also liked the characters which sometimes does not happen when reading a story.  You can easily cheer for the main characters to get together and be happy.  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys quick stories with intrigue and a little romance.

Review of Falling for the Teacher

Falling for the Teacher

This book was not a very happy or funny one.  The story follows a young woman who returns to her Grandparents home to help them all the while trying to overcome a traumatic event in her life.  How she becomes close to the male main character and then overcomes this event is the main plot.  I gave this book 4/5 stars.  Although there were some parts that were uplifting, like the end, I did not especially enjoy the book.  I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a story that tackles difficult subjects and also includes meaningful relationships.
