This uplifting tale is a light read that cat lovers will appreciate. Although the plot does not include the degree of depth and complexity that I traditionally enjoy, this book is entertaining and is a nice way to spend an afternoon.

I knew North of Hope was going to be an emotionally challenging book, but I had no idea just how difficult it would be. The book chronicles the loss of the author’s father and step-mother in the Alaskan wilderness by a grizzly bear and the aftermath which includes revisiting the site of their death in Alaska. The descriptive details in the book are amazing and the juxtaposition of her internal journey with the exterior landscape descriptions is haunting at times. That being said, it was too much for this reader.

Leading Your Family Like Jesus is a a great parent leadership book. It provides practical advice, personal stories, and content that demands further thought and reflection. I have always appreciated Ken Blanchard’s work, and this one was another winner.

Intentional Parenting is made up of twelve chapters that each address a parenting myth. Although there was not a lot of new information for me, I felt the points were well presented and meaningful examples were provided. I also really appreciated the emphasis on recognizing who your child is as an individual and working with him/her rather than providing a “cookie cutter” model. This book covers a lot of territory with a bit more emphasis being placed on parenting teenage children.

As I have shared in the past, I am a big Max Lucado fan. This devotional book is another winner. It is based on his book Just Like Jesus and includes thirty days of study. Each daily devotion highlights steps in thinking, hearing, reflecting, and speaking with a focus on knowing Jesus better.

How Many Miles to Bethlehem? is a beautifully illustrated version of the Christmas story. Each two page spread provides the point of view of a figure within the story. The text lends itself to be read aloud.
Practicing the Presence of Jesus is a little book with a powerful message. Wally Armstrong shares personal insights about how he went from living his life in constant pursuit of trying to please God to living a life in which he shares a close friendship with God. Armstrong’s text is highly accessible and provides inspiration and encouragement.

Proverb Prayers is wonderful daily devotional that provides a detailed review of the book of Proverbs. For each day of the month, a chapter of the book of Proverbs is presented and then is followed up with a prayer which focuses on integrating the teaching of the chapter into one’s daily life. This book would make a lovely gift for yourself or for a friend.

This one is a winner! All Pro Dad focuses on having a game plan as a father in order to effectively impact and influence your children. Using a sports driven format, this book provides many quotes and stories from influential business leaders and sports heroes that serve as great reminders and a source of encouragement. I particularly liked the “huddle up” questions at the end of each chapter. They are great conversation starters to use with children.

Using the Bible story of the loaves and the fishes as a framework, Austin shares how each and every one of us is special and has something to share that will ultimately have a positive impact. This book was specifically written to encourage and empower teenagers, but I think the message is very well presented and would be an encouraging read for adults as well. I particularly liked the questions at the end of each chapter. They were a great starting point
for further reflection as well as discussion about the text.
