Sunday Mornings are such a beautiful time for reflection, rejuvenation and relaxation. Starting off the day with some personal meditation, prayer with God or what ever your belief system or even just spending quality time with your family is is a great way to recharge and get ready for the week ahead. When looking for a book to talk about today I looked on a book shelf I rarely go through and found some books that I thought were gone still on my shelf. I was hugely relieved and surprised. One of the books I found was a very small yet powerful book. I remember when I got this book and during that time of my life it helped immensely. You or someone you know may be going through a trial or struggle and maybe this book will help. The Prayer of Jabez also known to some as the prayer for increase Dr. Bruce Wilkinson, president of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, takes readers to 1 Chronicles 4:10 to discover how they can release God's miraculous power and experience the bles...

Fans of the Millennium series by Stieg Larsson are now getting a new installation (book#4) to add to this international best selling saga by Swedish journalist and author David Lagercrantz. A big set of shoes to fill  by Mr. Lagercrantz, I think. Early reviews of the book are looking kind of on the fence some stating we won't be disappointed (Amazon Reviewers) by the newest addition in the series, others more harshly criticizing the attempt (Goodreads reviewers) The New York Times review also seems to be a bit of a lukewarm reception. There seems to be speculation of an unfinished manuscript... So my question is... I would like to know if there is an unfinished unpublished manuscript, when it will be published if at all and who will be worthy of the task? Stieg Larsson has been gone for more than 10 years now...I'm just saying When will it be available to us regular folks?... With staggered release dates, some as early as Aug 27 it looks like US book patrons will b...

Name :: N. N. Canales Content Title :: Sometimes I Don't Love My Mother In the Author's Words :: My genre is dramatic fiction.  At a young age something inside me told me I would one  day write a book, and, at the time, it seemed ridiculous  because I didn't know how. Now I've written that book, but  I'm not writer; I just thought I had a compelling story to  tell. So what's it about?  :: Sunny Beach, Sydney Greene's fictional home, is a  town of irony, more metaphor and paradox than a finger of sand along the  ocean. Caught in the emotional crossfire between an adoring father and  vapid mother, she is forced to navigate the perilous path of childhood,  adolescence and adulthood with one parental arm tied behind her back. The book's title is at times a statement, mission statement, and battle cry. (18+ adult content) Genre - Dramatic New Adult Fiction  With permission I have been allowed to s...

I like to wander around to see what kind of neat things I can find for a dollar. Yep a dollar. So I often find myself in Family Dollar, Dollar Tree and Dollar General. I recently discovered that they have books for a dollar at Dollar Tree and not just paperbacks. Family Dollar and Dollar General can range from $1-$8. Be advised Family Dollar and General Dollar only get books sporadically, However Dollar Tree usually has a dedicated section to books. If you see something you like definitely snatch it up because it won't be there forever. Don't feel bad about being book savvy. Granted the books are not the hottest thing out right now, but it's a great way to find authors you have not read yet and try them out without spending a ton of money. I mean seriously, I love browsing in Dollar Stores but it's true, I have never said "Honey I am going to the Dollar Store to buy books." Well as you can see, that has definitely changed. Follow this post to get books fo...
