"FREE BOOK" by Brian Tome

This book will make you think outside the religious box you may be living in. As I began the read I was somewhat amazed at the raw language that the author used. This tool seemed to open up my interest. Brian Tome’s style and approach intrigued me. He covers the subject of being free quite plainly and simply. The book seems to be an encyclopedia of what freedom is. The interspersing of personal experiences made for interesting reading. I am not sure I could agree 100 per cent on all his interpretation of free expressions but he does provide interesting topics on the liberty a true believer can have in Christ. It is a fitting topic for one who is fed up with traditional churchy religiosity. I agree with Brian that too many churched folks are stiff and stoic and offer no appeal to winning a soul to the Kingdom.

Review of "Look at it This Way" by Jan Silvious

I found this book amongst my wife’s collection. Since it had an appealing title I decided to fit it into my reading schedule. Although Jan is primarily writing to women, I felt the content of the book could apply to men as well. Jan explores touchy areas of our lives that lead to self-destructive measures too often. Her positive approach to living life is inspiring and helpful through issues I too have faced. I believe any reader can find hope and help in the pages of “Look at it This Way.”

Obstacles Welcome

Obstacles Welcome by Ralph de la Vega

I read this book thinking that it might be an interesting autobiography. I was pleasantly surprised by the content of the book. Ralph gives some of his personal history but uses it as a motivating tool to explain principles of succeeding in life in spite of obstacles. His rise in the business world is the sustaining material for the book. I believe he establishes some very appropriate steps to guide one in making choices in life. He tells people “you shouldn’t measure people by their statures; you should measure them on the power of their idea.” At first I was disappointed with the book but as I proceeded through the chapters I found a lot of informative suggestions and ideas that the business world should consider. I recommend this book to any aspiring entrepreneur.
