One Month

I had a very hard time reading this book.  At the time that I requested it, I had heard great things about the book and was looking forward to a lifechanging read.  The book arrived and I kept reading chapter 1 and setting it aside.  I couldn't get into the book.  Eventually, I did read the book and there were some great insights.  I believe that I struggled with the book because of the many life events that were occurring in my life.  In the end, I took a lot of encouragement from the book and was able to grow as an individual.  I will be reading the book again, as life calms down. I expect that this will be a book that speaks differently to me each time i read it.

One Month to Live challenges readers to embrace the life God has entrusted to them and to live it out moment by moment with wholehearted authenticity, honesty and integrity.

I received this book from Water Brook Multnomah in exchange for a review.  My thoughts are my own and I received no other compensation.

Covenant Child, by Terri Blackstock

I am a huge fan of Terri Blackstock.  That said, I was totally unprepared for the emotional rollercoaster this book took me on.  I felt sympathy, love, compassion, happiness, and anger ALL in one book.  This story follows the life of two little girls who are taken from someone who loves them and placed with family who doesn't know how to love them.  I can't write more without spoiling the book.  I loved all of the twists and turns, and i loved how she wove the story of the gospel into the book..  another great read!
