Revolve 2010
On 2/21 Amy Braswell wrote: I was excited to receive this book/magazine in the mail because I always wondered what was contained in them when I saw them on the shelves, but not being a teenage girl did not provoke me to ever buy one. I have to admit that I am disappointed. I commend Thomas Nelson Publishers for trying to make the ... Revolve 2010 Biblezine
How to Reach Your Full Potential for God
On 2/9 Amy Braswell wrote: While I enjoyed reading this book, it is not something to read for pleasure, per se. It is very deep and thought provoking if you set out with the mindset of getting something out of it. I marked up my book and flagged it everywhere with things I want to remember. Dr. Stanley puts his seven points in ... How To Reach Your Full Potential for God by Charles Stanley

The Tallest of Smalls
On 12/7 Amy Braswell wrote: The Tallest of Smalls is a delightful little children's book by Max Lucado. It tells the story of Ollie, a young citizen of Stiltsville who is different from the rest.

Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World
On 9/24 Amy Braswell wrote: What impresses me most about this book is its up to the minute, right now references to things and current events happening in the world. Sometimes it is hard for Christians to grasp someone like David Jeremiah discussing Twitter, but the relevance of this book makes it appealing to those suffering from ... Living with Confidence...
Fresh Start
On 9/13 Amy Braswell wrote: It's pretty clear from the beginning that this guy, Doug Fields, is/was a youth pastor. In Fresh Start, he gives that fact away with his little quirky stories throwing some pop culture in and how it should or shouldn't relate to glorifying God's kingdom. Doug Fields pretty much packaged everything a ... Fresh Start
Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage
On 8/26 Amy Braswell wrote: Those looking for deep, profound martial advice need not turn to Rick and Bubba’s philosophies! But for a humorous (and fairly true) view on what “normal” marriages look like, Rick and Bubba have you covered. The book is definitely written from a guy’s guy point of view, with numerous and dubious ... Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage
