Good Health, Good Life

12 Keys to Enjoying Physical and Spiritual Wellness

Joyce Meyer

 Diets come and go. Getting your life back on track and feeling healthy needs to be something that lasts. The author has taken well known steps for health and made them relatable. Each chapter covers a step towards good health, both physically and spiritually. The chapters are short enough to get the point across without being overwhelmed with information. The back of the book has some pages to use as check lists and guides with lines for writing.

I've read several Bible studies by this author and enjoyed them. But I think I enjoyed this book even more. It's a tiny little book, so doesn't feel overwhelming. But the author has taken a very practical and Biblical approach to turning health around and making it a life style change. She shares from her own personal experiences to make the book more enjoyable and relatable. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone tired of sluggish feelings and dieting drama.

Love's Grace Trilogy Book 2

Jennifer Delamere

Margaret is one of the wealthiest young women in London. She's in town to find a husband. Her fiance Paul is another wealthy titled person and the local gossip is talking about the wedding of the year for the perfect couple. Mr. Tom Poole is a wealthy man, but comes from a poor family. He earned his wealth in the gold mines of Australia. The ton is reluctant to accept him, but his wealth is apparently speaking for them. When Margaret finds herself in a bind she learns who she can really depend on.

The characters are real, flawed, and fun to read about. I was a little nervous reading the second book in the series. But the book can be read as a stand-alone. There are definite mentions to the previous story, but I wasn't once left feeling lost or confused. It did, however, make me find the first book so I could read it as well. I didn't realize the book was Christian fiction until I had read a bit into the book. There are very subtle references that some might not even pick up on. So for the person who might normally stray away from CF, I would recommend giving this book a try. It certainly isn't preachy or in your face. I, personally, would have preferred more of a Christian feel since the book was labeled as such, but it was a great book that I will be keeping. The author does a great job of engaging the reader.

 Jackie is on the run in yet another country. She works for the CIA and often this means her life is in danger. Her boss sent her to Cuba to see if a new upstart, Fidel Castro, is going to be a detriment to the USA. But once there she is involved in solving a treasure map and rescuing a new friend. 

The cast of famous characters is endless. The plot is twisted and exciting. The premise for this book was not something I'd imagined, but it was easy to believe. It was a lot of fun to follow the author as she wove the story through history and explained some of what happened before Kennedy took office. A delightful story that will amuse and entertain even those who aren't into history.
