lt Is What You Make of It by Justin McRoberts

 

It is What It is. This is one of those sayings you hear fairly frequently in this day and age. Justin Roberts in his new book, It Is What you Make Of it, encourages us to think differently and tells readers that that is a lie.

It is What You Make Of It has fourteen chapters full of rich stories full of details from McRoberts' life and Biblical teaching. At the end of each chapter, he has a page called,  What do you make of this? where he asks readers some questions to help them apply the story they just read to their own life. I liked these stories a lot. I didn't read the book real fast. Instead I read a couple stories a day so that I could soak them in and reflect on them. I also reflected on how they may relate to my own life. I found inspiration and encouragement. I also found stories that were easy to relate to. McRoberts feels like a guy who would be easy to sit down and chat with. He also has a sense of humor so there are some funny places in the book. I think this book would appeal to Christians of all ages and at all levels of faith. There is something for everyone to reflect on here. While I enjoyed all of the stories, I especially liked the chapter called, Everybody Hurts, Everybody Matters. That one touched my heart in several ways.

I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher through FrontGate Media. All opinions within this review are my own.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
