Review: Sweet Thing - Renee Carlino

REVIEW

 I absolutely loved everything about this book!! The chemistry between Will and Mia was off the charts. There were times I wanted to throw this book, but I couldn't bring myself to put it down. I had a love-hate relationship with Mia throughout the entire book. Mia makes such dumb decisions when it comes to Will, and at times seemed like a cold-hearted woman, then she surprises you and makes your heart melt for her.

She has a lot of trust issues"(And I mean A LOT). Will's character is amazing, in my opinion; he never gives up on Mia. He has so much patience and understanding for what she is going through, anyone else would probably run for the hills given the circumstances. This was a beautifully written story that had my nerves wreaked most of the time, but I loved every minute.

If you love a story that takes your emotions on a roller-coaster ride, then this will be the perfect book for you. I gave this book 5 stars, but deserves so many more!!! Great job!!!

Review: Emotions - Charles F. Stanley

REVIEW

This book was very inspirational and uplifting.  Author Charles F. Stanley did an outstanding job in explaining our emotions and how we can overcome negative emotions.  He said that all the emotions we have come from God.  He explains that God could have just given us good healthy emotions, but that He wanted us to experience fear and other negative emotions that will make us rely on Him for everything.   If we did not have fear, we would walk upon rattlesnakes and bears and have no fear and they could cause us harm.  

Author Stanley also explains that God always provides a support system for us.  He says that the emotions we experience should lead us to God in prayer.  He further explains that we should take stock of our life,  commit ourselves to the Father’s plan, embrace who God says we are, praise God, and then do the God’s work.  He says that God is training us to trust Him for all our needs, conform us to the character of Christ, and use adversity to prepare us for ministry. Stanley also says that there are ten terms for effective service:  verbally, physically, patiently, gratefully, generously, tenderly, forgivingly; devotedly, cheerfully, and honorably.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and give it 5 stars.
