Refreshing, straight to the heart!  Every word was written just for me, or so it seems.  This is not your hell & brimstone devotional.  These words beautifully illustrate God's love and acceptance of mankind.  A "come as you are" approach to the throne of grace.  No excuses; no barriers.  Just His love reaching out to me.  Reading this is like taking a deep breath after being under water for much too long.

So honest & real, revealing the compelling & ambivalent aspects of relationship, the quandaries of resolving or living with unresolved issues in loving. Yet inspiring and uplifting.

Note - I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The message of this book is wonderful, who among us doesnt need a reminder that it is better to give than to receive.  Karen uses stories from her life that are very relatable to show who in our lives might need extra love.  Her tips aren't fancy; they're things we can all do!  Everyone should read this book and it would make a great addition to church & public libraries.

This book is such a beautiful guiding pearl for anyone truly looking to hear The Voice for Love and live the Love that they are. What I love about it, is that it is really simple & practical, helping you to actually get in touch experientially with that 'small still voice within' that births clear guidance, comfort, inspiration, healing and awakening. DavidPaul writes in a heart-felt, clear way speaking so authentically from his own experience; this in itself is uplifting and will open up doors within you & activate the rememberance of the Truth for you. This book is a beautiful Mighty Companion on your path :-)

After contemplating what I would write in my review for days, I have finally came up with the right words. I laughed, I cried, I laughed again & cried some more. This amazing book hit close to home, but in a good way. It was a reminder of family, love & loyalty. A reminder that our lives are what we want to make of them & if you remember who you are & stay strong, you will be respected. A reminder that HONESTY is the way to go. A reminder that everything isn't what it seems on the outside & that everyone hurts & has internal struggles. It was an honest, deep & heartfelt book & I look forward to re-reading it. Sometimes, an awesome book can be soothing multiple times over! Thank you for this, as it means so much to read!

Love Defined is an amazing, easy to read, scripturally based book that deals with all the confusing aspects of navigating a relationship that glorifies God in this self-centered world. Kristen and Bethany are sweet and relatable authors who're desirous of reaching out to and helping girls of ALL ages get back to God's design for love and romance, femininity and so much more! You will not regret purchasing and reading this book!

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." Elizabeth Barrett Browning penned these beautiful words some 170 years ago. Now, LOVE lives on again! This time in a more descriptive and instructive way, as Sandra and Daniel Biskind have followed-up their best selling PEACE publication with what is sure to be a definitive work - "LOVE."  Simply put, the Biskinds have done it again with the second book in their PLATINUM Series. By any measure, this book is destined to make contributions unmatched in such areas as love's importance, power, jumpstarting the process, rating your state of love and how to become the best version of yourself.

Be sure to hold your breath when the Biskinds give us a guided tour - with explanations - as we, along with them, probe the (until now) un-probable deep caverns and mysteries of Love.  Yes, this journey includes clear explanations of causes and cures.

LOVE should be required reading for young couples and yes, for those a bit older. Personal problems will be fewer and divorce attorneys may need to pursue new lines of work.  Enlightenment seems to fly off every page into our minds and hearts. If a million copies of LOVE are read worldwide, during the next 90 days, the planet will be a safer and better place to live.  LOVE is truly a Code Breaking 10 Strike!

And more good news; the book flows like a beautiful poem. It is at the same time, impactive, instructive, surprising at times, profound and yet easy to read and fun. My advice is to bask in the sun and LOVE that flows from the book into your heart and learn how to let it flow from your heart into other hearts. You will love the experience.  William Bryant

I was provided an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. To steal a line from the text, this book was "profound & meaningful" from cover to cover. It was an easy read, in a positive way, finishing it in only one evening. I could not put it down. This book is raw with emotions and does not fluff up the challenges we face in life. The characters are real and their lives are real. Normally I am a fan of fiction, but this book was a refreshing twist of lives, jobs and relationships. I laughed, I cried, I squirmed, and I was immersed. I am very glad I had the opportunity to read this book and look forward to read #2 in the series.

She has overcome so many obstacles with God in her life & is truly an inspiration of hope for those who find themselves in similar situations.

Mr Suzuki's lectures are short, easy to read, & so seemingly simple at first to
cause us to re-read them, & happily so. Christians will find nothing threatening here, & those seeking enlightenment will discover they've been
walking past it their whole lives. Also has specific instructions on proper
posture & breathing for sitting & beginning meditation. But mostly
will surprise the reader by showing how that we can & should be enlightened, refreshed & heartened by activities, thoughts & routines that already
are part of our everyday lives, & take a closer look at our attitudes about seeking
Zen in the first place. Truly a book to make us think, smile, hug our Children & even have a good laugh at ourselves.

"8 Weeks" is a sweet & romantic story! As described in the synopsis, this is the story of 2 high school sweethearts who are torn apart by a one-night Vegas indiscretion after 6 years of marriage. Shelly is devastated and is ready to give up on her marriage whereas Cal is desperate to make amends and win back Shelly's love and trust. Shelly agrees to give Cal 8 weeks before she makes her ultimate decision as to their future. This contemporary new adult romance is a stand alone book but it is part of the "Time for Love" series (other books in the series will feature the secondary characters of this book).

At first I thought this story would be about forgiveness, trust & courtship but it ended up being a tale about really knowing your other half and not taking them for granted. Moral of the story: Do you really truly know the person who you've been married to for years or do you take them for granted and just coast along on autopilot?

The story is told from both Shelly and Cal's point of view, alternately. There is descriptive sexual content but it is not the main premise of the book. In fact, the sexual content is fairly subdued, which suits me just fine. The book is more about the romance & emotional turmoil the characters are going through. At first I thought the 8 dates would end up being a bit repetitive but, with every date, a lesson is learned by both Cal and Shelly. The book had a nice flow to it.

Characters: Cal impressed me a lot. His character evolves tremendously from start to finish. Shelly's character takes more time to evolve because she is hit with such a tremendous shock at first and she has to shake off the anger and confusion first. Having been together for so long, they have the same friends and they play a big part in the story. Each character is very distinct. The characters are in their mid-twenties.

Reading Luis' & Tuesday's story was wonderful & inspiring.  My heart was touched by the obvious love & devotion they share together. I am an extreme dog lover who understands fully how much a pet can come to mean in one's life. God bless all the fur babies who give so much love to the heroes they serve & support, like Tuesday; & God bless all our heroes who so richly deserve their devotion. I read about 100 books/year, mostly Kindle books bought from Amazon. This is the only book I have ever taken the time to review--- a statement about how well I enjoyed Tuesday's (& Luis's) story & the impact it made in my life.  I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a story of triumph and appreciates the value an awesome dog can bring to those they love. Bravo, Luis!!! I am waiting for the sequel!
