Could it be that all of us are in fact, somewhere on the ADD/ADDH spectrum? How would the world change for the better if as a society, we saw that the label of ADD/ADDH might actually be wrong  and that in fact , theres a magnificent GIFT thats waiting to be managed?  What if we could look through the history books and find inspirational leaders and famous people from whom we can learn a better way of doing things?

In Dr Kevin Ross Emerys book, Famous People with ADHD: Are you one waiting to happen, youll find plenty to bring hope.

This is the type of book that will make you appreciate what you have in life and will lift your spirit and inspire you to do more with your life than you are right now! The underlying theme of this book is a message of hope that God can provide. The book was easy to read and what I loved most about the book was the fact that the stories were short, and as a reader you could easily read a few of these in a short sitting to make the book an easy one to get through. I found the book to be a compelling read and one that I did not want to put down. It is not be easy to endure the lemons, but the lemonade that comes is definitely sweet!

I definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to be inspired, as the book will open your eyes and help you to redefine the way in which you are not only living your life, but the way in which you view your life!

Beth Redman says, "I want to share an amazing story of restoration, a story of hope that we all have and the truth that I pray will fill you with joy, freedom, and power! I want to shout out that God heals, restores His plans for you and utterly adores you! If we can truly breathe in that truth, we become free to live, free to give and free to love and accept both others and ourselves. Then, as you breathe in that truth out into a hurting and broken world that desperately needs this message of Go, the father's heart for us, God is glorified, and lives are changed and transformed by Him."

I was drawn in from the start--the message in the beginning paragraphs were gripping, hopeful and refreshing. I'm so thankful to have received a review copy of such an inspiring story of Beth Redman's journey from shattered to wholeness and how her personal relationship with God grew and developed into something very special. She talked about being filled with truth that transforms in her journey to wholeness. This was powerful stuff!!

Beth says, "Ultimately, we are not defined by what others think of us when they learn our names, or what our earthly parents say about us. Instead, we find definition in the authority, power and compassion of the God who loves us. It's time we hear his voice the loudest." Amen to that Beth! This book wasn't preachy, but simple, honest and practical, filled with stories taken from her life and from scripture to back up the truth that has set her free.

This was a very inspiring book written from the heart of Beth Redman's personal encounters with God and the realities of life. It was great to be reminded and encouraged again about how God feels about us! I was encouraged by how Beth shared stories from her past and how she talked about still having days when she still feels forgotten rejected and misunderstood. She says that these feelings are a way the enemy attempts to make us feel anonymous, illegitimate and unfit to be recognized by our Heavenly Father. "God bestows great worth and significance upon his children, and it is within his grace alone we will find meaning and purpose!" Beth says.

This book is short, simple and packs a powerful punch of hope, redemption and love. I highly recommend it! It's made me want to read other books by her!

This book is jam-packed with research, motivating stories, Biblical accounts, and statistics about how ordinary people can be used by God to make a huge difference in the lives of people all around them, and indeed, all around the world!  I was so inspired by the message of this book, and by the clever ways that Lucado explains the stories of the people of the early church so that they sound like they live in my hometown.  I want to link arms with others that I have influence on, young and old alike, and help them to see as I have how they can live their lives outwardly instead of inwardly, and the result will be exponential in bringing healing and hope to so many around the planet.  I've shared the statistics and stories in this book as well as You Were Made to Make a Difference, that Max and his daughter Jenna teamed up to write with the 7th graders that I teach on up through the adults in the Parenting Teens class that I lead at church, and it has really helped others to see one of the biggest messages that God has been teaching me over the last 5 years -- it's not the most talented, the most skilled, the most intelligent, the most capable people that God uses to accomplish His purposes in people's hearts and lives . . . it's those who are the most willing to get involved in simple ways to make a difference.  I highly recommend Outlive Your Life for all adults, and for those who want to share these stories with their teenagers, You Were Made to Make a Difference is loaded with stories of kids from 11-years-old on up who were WILLING to start in very simple ways to make a difference, and have impacted thousands of people as a result!!!  I listened to both books on CD while commuting, and I couldn't wait to get in the car again so I could hear the next chapter.  Jenna Lucado's voice in both her writing and her speaking as she reads for the CD is so sweetly sincere that I'd love to hear her read the whole thing again as I share it with my own kids.

Encourage everyone to read this book, and allow the message in this book resonate in your spirit. This book is very descriptive allowing you to envision the scenes of the various events taking place in Much-Afraid's life. The depiction of who Jesus Christ is with us is tremendous

What an incredible book! I have a large family, full of differences and diversity! I want my two babies growing up in a home where diversity is recognized and celebrated. This book has a beautiful message, filled with kind words and lovely illistrations. It will be a staple of my children's reading experience for several years to come! I hope several other will embrace this book and the message!

In God Loves Broken People, Sheila Walsh brings a message of hope to all of us. Because at one time or another, all of us have been broken and in need of that message.

From the introduction, titled "It's Okay Not to be Okay" to chapters such as "I'm Not Waving, I'm Drowning," "Fierce Love and Halloween Grace" and "Only the Wounded Can Serve" we are bombarded with the fact of God's boundless, extravagant love for us and we are comforted with reminders of His grace and mercy.

From the back cover: "...Sheila Walsh shows how personal brokenness can open doors of intimacy with Jesus Christ that might never open in any other way. It's not that God loves broken people more than those who imagine themselves to be whole--it's simply that they know they are loved. They dare to believe it...and through such trust, a new wholeness emerges from yesterday's broken pieces."

This book is an excellent resource for pastors and counselors and should hold a prominent place on their bookshelves. More importantly, it is a must-read for the broken. Its message of healing will bring comfort and hope.

This delightful book will definitely lift you up when you need an inspirational message.  Sometimes, I read daily devotions or other motivational books and eventually stop reading them -- This book is not  like that!  It "hits the spot" when I need an instant mood change  or something to pick me up out of the doldrums...or just when I need a  different perspective at the end of a day.  Sometimes, I read several  entries at a time.  I often share pertinent insights from this book with  friends, and I am convinced that some of the gems of wisdom from this book  are single-handedly pulling one of my friends out of a mid-life crisis.  This author is truly blessed with the ability to touch the common with the  divine.  This book touches people - let it touch you!

This book literally offers hope to the broken.  John gives us pieces of this life through his lens, and then gives us biblically sound truth to support how to navigate through those experiences.  He also takes biblical figures and shows us how a mess can become a message to the people of God.  My favorite day is Day 2, Hoverer!
"But there was a Hoverer present.  The Spirit of God was waiting to hear those words from the father, "Go ahead. Dig in." And did He ever! He breathed on me.  I was like the earth-a life devoid of the presence of God!"  If you haven't read this book, please get it now!

This book is so inspirational and gives people hope and encouragement. I purchased two books and the audio version because I wanted to give one to my sister for Christmas. The book is so good that I gave it to her early. She loves it too and often posts declarations on Facebook.

Hope Sings is an amazing book for those that are hopeless and hopeful. We are truly reminded that Christ is our hope. The author shares a lot of short stories and experiences in her own life. They were very relatable to my own life. She keeps you laughing, even through painful events in her life. But also reminding us of the joy that God brought through each experience. It is an encouraging book and easy to read. I definitely will recommend this book to others.

I have just finished reading this awesome book that charts the course of Shelley's Dad assault to his emerging recovery. In the pages of this book you will discover the hope in God that does not disappoint.

Reading their story reminds me of the verse that says to every believer - "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His Purpose" Romans 8:28(KJV).

God doesnot send or endorse tragedies but when they come He is able to turn it around for our good! This book will encourage, inspire and help you have a confident expectation of good even in the face of any kind of tragedy!

What a joy to read! Filled with encouragement, humor, faith and hope, Rejoicing In Hope is the story of a man with an unflinching faith and a remarkable sense of humor that shine through in this book as he and his family face the difficult and uncertain road of cancer. The true story of Randy Butlers journey with cancer will help each of us to understand and appreciate the reason for the hope that he has. Highly recommend this book to anyone, not just those suffering from cancer.

From the shimmery, whimsical cover to the last page, Colors of Hope lifts your spirit in ways you might not expect from a coloring book. Author/Illustrator Lisa Samson is clearly as accomplished an artist as she is a writer! On the facing page of each artistic design is an equally artistic message of hope. It is creative, soothing, fun and inspirational...all rolled into one. I love this book, not only for myself, but also to give as a gift.
