Book Review: "Heaven is for Real"

One of the reasons I chose to read Todd Burpo’s Heaven is for Real was due to the significant amount of hype and controversy surrounding this particular piece of text.  I have been continuously baffled by, since the release of this book, the amount of people that tear this book down and criticize it, almost page by page. I found this book to be incredibly peaceful and calming, especially since I have lost three members of my family in just the past four months. Whether the experiences written about in this book are true or fabricated, the messages are ones that I took to heart.

I just learned that a book has been recently been published solely to attack this one, and I find that to be ridiculous. I am aware that this review is more about the criticism about it, but I think it is definitely worth the time spent on reading it.  If you are looking for an easy, calming, and thought provoking book, I strongly suggest buying yourself a copy of this book and reading it as soon as you have the chance. My only hope, after reading this book, is that heaven actually is for real.

Book Review: "The Love & Respect Experience"

I must say right from the start that this  Dr. Emerson Eggerichs' The Love and Respect Experience was not the right choice for me to read. It was not a bad book, and I did not have any problems with it. My biggest issue was that it did not apply to me, and I could not relate the book to any aspect of my life. However, this was through no fault of the book, but rather it was a poor choice for me to choose to read. The quality and material of the book is excellent, as it is covered in a fake leather material that really gives the book a nice edge and look to it. It is definitely a good edition to the library of a couple looking to improve their relationship on a different level. I would not recommend this book to those who are single, or do not want to enhance the spiritual aspects of their relationships. Although the book was not bad, I cannot award it five full stars as the author was not able to connect to me, the reader. Maybe other people will have better luck with this book. However, because of the lack of a connection, I must give this book three out of five stars.

Book Review: "The Book of Man"

Before going into a review of William J Bennett’s The Book of Man, I must first comment on how beautifully printed it is. The hardcover version is printed with an elegant looking binding, and pages that take on an aged and more authentic look and feel to the type of book this is.

I wasn’t really sure what I was getting myself into when I first decided to read this book; I can’t even honestly say that I thought I was going to enjoy it. I figured to would be some sort of self help book for men, and that I wouldn’t remember much after reading it.

Boy, was I wrong.

The messages in this book really cause you to stop and take a good look at your life. Are you where you are meant to be? Are you doing the right thing? Are you on the best track for you? It is difficult for me to really say why I enjoyed this so much, other than that I did. I would recommend this to anybody who wants to evaluate their own life, and get a better look at the impact they are having on this world. What an amazing read.
