Radical Taking Back Your Faith From the American Dream by David Platt

I was reading the first chapter of this book and was interrupted while doing it. The whole time I was taken away from the book, I kept thinking about what the author was talking about and I couldn't wait to get back to the chapter! I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book and sharing it with others. Especially my pastor.

Never Say Never by Lisa Wingate

Kai Miller and Donetta Bradford are two women with different lives, but a terrible hurricane in Texas will join them together for the rest of their lives. Kai is young, free spirited and teaches dancing on a cruise ship. Donetta is in the prime of her life, has a sweet southern personality, is in a disappointing marriage and is looking for adventure. A life and death situation binds them together and they ride out a hurricane evacuation together which lands them both in Daily, Texas, Donetta's home town, with a group of church evacuees. This event changes their lives and effects their personal lives forever. Will Kai be able to accept who she is and let someone love her for her? Will Donetta be able to live with what her future holds for her marriage? This book was not one of my favorites. There were many times in the book where I read quickly through a section because I felt the author had already talked about that part of the story line. This caused the book to drag out more. There were some exciting parts and the ending does not end exactly how I thought it would go. There are also some good lessons in the book about controlling our behavior around people who are difficult to deal with. I would recommend this book for an easy read when you have the time.

This book was a free copy from the publisher.
