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.
I received this book for free for review from Waterbrook Multnomah.

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.

Left at the Alter
Left at the Alter by Kimberly Kennedy
This is a story by Kimberly on how to find hope and healing in the midst of rejection. Kimberly shares her own personal story of actually being left at the alter on her wedding day and explained the emotions she went through and the things she thought and felt. Any woman who has ever felt the pain of rejection on any level, not necessarily being left at the alter can totally relate. And that is the point of this book. We all feel rejected at one point in time. We cannot rely on people because people will disappoint you. You have to put your full trust and full faith in the only person that will not reject you and that is God. Kimberly also shares what she did in order to overcome that rejection that she felt. Though, it took a long time, she finally understands what God's plan was for that dark part of her life and is really passionate about sharing her story (a story that was used on talk shows basically mocking her) with other women to see that we can all relate. Sometimes you may feel like you are completely alone in your rejection and that no one can understand. But, really, almost everyone can. This book also has a section that was very interesting that had mens views of rejection. Men shared the process that goes through their mind when they break up with their girlfriends and that it is actually quite hard for them to do it.
This book has helped me a lot as i've struggled and still am struggling over rejection and loss of a boyfriend. I've learned some good tips on how to cope with it and how to give it over to God. A favorite quote from the book is "Man's rejection, God's protection," and I pray that over my life every day.

What are you Waiting For?
What are you Waiting For- by Dannah Gresh
In the book, "What are you waiting for?" Dannah Gresh goes through the Bible and uncovers God's thoughts about some deep issues, like sex. Dannah reveals that sex is designed by God and answers some questions that I think a lot of young women might have about sex and sexuality.
Dannah also talks about some more edgy topics such as: Pornography, masterbation, LGBT issues, a way to break free from sexual guilt, and a way to truly fulfill intimacy.
This book is mostly designed for young women who are seeking answers about why Sex is a big deal to God. Gresh does a really good job of explaining the reason why you should wait. This book is also great for women who just want someone to be real about these issues for them.
