Please Stop Laughing at Me

Please Stop Laughing at Me-Jodee Blanco

As a person who was bullied in elementary school, I thought this book would somehow speak to/relate to me in some way. I expected a book that would tell of one woman's journey through all the bullying trials. After all, the title and subtitle seems to hint at that, but I was pretty disappointed that it lacked that element.
I also expected this book to address bullying in schools as it's a pretty serious matter, but it did not. I also expected Blanco to give some sort of insight or wisdom on how to cope with bullying, but she did not. I don't think many young people who are experiencing bullying will be able to connect with this book. What I wish would have been included was ways to overcome and grow from the experiences.

The One-Day Way

Chantel Hobb's is a personal trainer who has lost 200 pounds, written two books, been on TV and has a video series.

This book is a lot about diet and exercise. Chantel developed her own food and exercise plan, but I found it to be a lot like the other plans that you can find out there.

Chantel does impliment a lot of her faith into this program. Her emphasis is: Faith, Food and Fitness.

This book asks you to be willing to make a commitment. If you are not ready to change your life, then this book is not for you. If you are ready, this book will be an encouragement in your life.

This is Your Brain in Love

This is your brain in love- by Dr. Earl Henslin

This book is written by a professional and just covers some question and answers to some basic questions, personal and professional stories, and it covers some emotions and what different kinds of lovers are.

I just thought this book would be interesting. I'm not married, i'm not even in a relationship, but I thought it would be nice to know some things and to have as a reference.

A Conversation with God for Women

A Conversation with God- for Women by Marcia Ford

This book covers some questions that women might be seeking answers to and is in a kind of dialogue form, with answers from God from the Bible to those questions. Some of the topics include:

* existence and nature of God
* Jesus, Virgin birth of God's only Son
* authenticity of Scripture
* meaning in and unique challenges of a woman's life
* power and purpose of prayer
* importance, realities, and struggles of relationships
* coexistence of good and evil

This book wasn't a very easy read book. I question whether or not these are really questions that women have for God. I think mostly because I have so many more other questions and mine weren't really all in that list. I think this book could be helpful for a conversation starter or in a new christian's bible study/devotional.

Awakening

Awakening by Stovall Weems

I chose this book from Waterbrook Multnomah for this review, at www.waterbrookmultnomah.com/bloggingforbooks because the title and excerpt from the book intrigued me. I have found myself in this sort of rut in my spiritual relationship with God. I haven't felt very hungry for His word or felt any motivation to read His word even. I knew/know that something is not right. I deeply desire to be hungry for God.
In Weem's book, Awakening, Weem talks about stop hitting the spiritual snooze button. Which means, to stop putting off having a relationship with God. I am guilty of thinking to myself that i'll work on my relationship with God later, i'm too busy now, etc. This book will help you to stop going through the motions of a Christian life and deeply desire to know and love God.
This book also teaches you about surrendering and fasting and praying. All of which are pretty important in a christian lifestyle.
I would definitely recogmend this book to anyone who is perhaps like me and hitting the snooze button a lot and just not feeling motivated or sluggish in their faith.

Churched

Churched-by Matthew Paul Turner

This book is about a young mans journey in different church systems. Matthew started out as a Methodist but then changed to a fundamentalist baptist church. Matthew's story is witty and it's definitely hard to put this book down. Throughout the story Matthew starts to see how flawed the church really is, and wonders if there is a perfect church out there where people just simply love God, like he does. Matthew hasn't found one yet. I really enjoyed the honesty and insight that Matthew shared in his book and I definitely recommend this book to anyone. I grew up in many different church systems so I kind of understand what it's like. I now consider myself a baptist.
