<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book was written back when the telephone was a new device. You will learn how big of a turkey Thomas Alva Edison was. We know that he was a fraud. His name is on all sorts of inventions that he had nothing to do with. The electricity that comes into your home here in the USA is AC (alternating current). Edison went to extremes to prove that DC (Direct Current) was the only safe way to transmit electricity. He went so far as to electrocute an elephant and film as the elephant was dying. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Edison tried to claim the telephone for his own, as well. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2EeTIYD" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The History of the Telephone</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> you will see how much of a fight Bell and his associates had on their hands to prove the telephone could be useful and wasn’t just a parlor trick. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I personally learned a lot from this book which was written while many of the people who were involved with the early days of the telephone were still alive. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We learn why Bell and his associated companies fought so hard to defend their patents. I know understand why back before telephone deregulation there were actual phone cops who would arrest someone for attaching anything to a phone line that wasn’t supplied by the phone company. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I found The History of the Telephone to be very educational and informative and you might enjoy it, too. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let’s start out with the one problem with this book. This book was written in 2004 and a lot of genealogy and DNA resources have changed. There are many links to many resources listed in this book. A lot of these links no longer work. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Other than some of the links no longer working, this book is still pertinent today. The authors provide simple, straightforward explanations of many complex genetic terms and practices. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are tracing your family history and you plan to use genetics, at least in part, to climb your tree, Trace Your Roots with DNA will help you understand the results you receive.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The book is well written and informative and will probably be your “Go to” resource when you work on your family tree. Grab your copy now and join us in the fascinating world of family tree research. </span></div>

That is the reason that books like </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2X7IX1Z" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The One Minute Manager</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2tpWeoO" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Search of Excellence</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> are still relevant today. Sometimes we all need a little reminder about what we should be doing in our organizations. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Back in the 80s, we saw a bunch of McManagement programs where someone came in and put up some posters with a slogan on it. We called this Management Du Jour. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The next thing you knew, you were issued a binder with the new McManagement slogan on it. If you were lucky, you got a t-shirt with the slogan on it and everyone got a tote bag, coffee mug, and some balloons, each with the new slogan on it. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The corporate suits would gather all the front line people together. They would all sing Kumbaya and recite the new slogan and then it was back to the same old same old. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2IfwGFf" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Build Framework</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> isn’t Management Du Jour or McManagement. It is a common sense approach to how to improve your organization. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This short book has just five simple steps to help leaders remind themselves of what is important and actually get to lead. A fast reader can read this book in about a half hour to an hour, assuming no pesky interruptions like the boss or work. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The book is well written. There are a few funny stories that are pertinent to the subject being discussed that help keep the reader engaged. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

No. Will it provide a different perspective for you? Yes, probably. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Grab your copy of this and take it with you. By the time you flush, you should have some new tools for your professional toolbox. </span></div>

Your regular range oven might be on the fritz. You might be trying to reduce your power bill. You might not have the money to buy a conventional oven.

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How does spaghetti pie sound to you?

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If everything works out the way the author Derek Yach seems to think it will, we will soon all be living in a smoke-free world. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have to admit, if I were browsing a book store or searching through Amazon, I probably would pass this book by. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If I had passed up on reading this book, I would have missed reading a wealth of information that I would not have received anywhere else. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I really don’t know how the WHO works, but I know the FDA is made up of a bunch of goons that couldn’t regulate a dog fight. I say this because they won’t allow natural foods and supplements to be sold unless they are willing to bow down and say that the only treatment for cancer is chemotherapy and radiation.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">These same cancers are caused because the FDA does not do its job to protect our food supply. Case in point, GMO isn’t as benign as it sounds. We are sent countless books to review that are written by top doctors in their fields. These books tell us that GMO means that the chemical known as Roundup, an herbicide, is grown into our foods. And the FDA doesn’t think that it is important for us to know which of our foods are GMO?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The FDA didn’t even look at mesh implants before they were approved for implanting in humans. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2GrO6Mh" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Project Unthinkable</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> tells us there is hope for us all. The hope doesn’t come from government regulations of tobacco, but from one of the largest tobacco companies in the world. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is very well written and, believe it or not, it is very entertaining. You will learn a lot about what you didn’t know you didn’t know. This is the kind of book that you will be surprised you found to be so interesting you just can’t put it down. </span><br />

I actually cooked in my room, whereas most students ate in the dining halls, ordered pizza, or lived on Pop Tarts. One freshman I knew actually ate horse food because he thought it would help him gain muscle tone. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I wish I had an Instant Pot back then. </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2GlEfYp" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Instant Pot® College Cookbook: 75 Quick and Easy Meals that Taste Like Home by Julee Morrison</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is a step-by-step guide on how to use the Instant Pot to make some very tasty and good for you meals that college students will love.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Actually, any person cooking for a small number of people will find this book to be very useful. There are even instructions on how to make a Thanksgiving meal in the Instant Pot. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book even tells you how to make broccoli cheese soup from scratch. You won’t have to settle for Ramen noodles every night or Pop Tarts 3 meals a day; using the Instant Pot is simple and easy. The pot does all the work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is well written and entertaining.

It seems to sneak through the gray matter and then stick better when we receive information in story form.</span></div>

If you just look around a little bit, you will find several. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2Ut4ShO" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Be Heart Smart: Understand, Treat, and Prevent Coronary Heart Disease by Dr. Waqar Khan</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is different.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many of these books we have read are written by doctors who only want to brag about their credentials and tell us about all the brilliant things they have done in their practices to miracuously save a life.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many of the doctors who write books now a days have only one tool in their toolbox. Usually that tools is a drug that they helped develop. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some doctors use most of their book to promote their practice and some unique method that you can only get from their practice. Those books will tell readers countless times how to contact their practice. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dr. Kahn is different. He tells us about multiple ways we can prevent or treat Coronary Heart Disease. Some of the treatments are surgical and the doctor describes them in layman’s terms so that almost anyone can understand what will take place. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Unlike many doctors, Dr. Kahn doesn’t have an ax to grind or a particular procedure to promote. Instead, he tells us about diet, exercise, stress reduction and other simple things we can do to prevent or treat heart problems. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is very informative and does not come across as self-promoting like so many others we have read. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Face it, you or someone you love will need to have heart-related services sometime in their future. Grab a copy of </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2Ut4ShO" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Be Heart Smart</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> now while you can read it and absorb it, and maybe help prevent a heart issue. </span></div>

Gut health is more important than many people think. The GAPS Diet can help you heal a sick gut. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The GAPS Diet is different from any diet we have ever heard about. Most diets suggest you use whole raw foods and, if you do eat meat, to use the leanest cuts of meat with as little fat as possible. The GAPS Diet turns that advice on its ear. </span></div>

It is very different from most books regarding Christianity. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I first started reading this book, it was difficult for me to concentrate on it. I started it over several times because I just wasn’t getting it. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I started to just set it aside for later, but then a prompting told me I really needed to get into this book. I said multiple prayers and then dug into it. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once I was able to quiet my mind, I was able to really understand what the author is trying to say. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Suzanne and I are from a charismatic, fundamentalist background. This being said, we a have a few fundamental theological differences, but the overall feel and message of the book is completely in keeping with our beliefs. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is not the kind of book one should just plow right through, It is the kind of book that one should read with a lot of prayer and reflection. One should keep their favorite translation of the Holy Bible handy and probably another translation to help when one has questions. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You could go scream into the clown’s head and get some robot food, or you could pick up your copy of </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2FCJZNN" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Best of Bridge Weekday Suppers: All-New Easy Everyday Recipes by Emily Richards and Sylvia Kong</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and you are ready to go.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You probably have everything you need to fix most of these recipes. There are even recipes for dessert in here. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">These recipes are easy to follow. Well, not really.

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you can resist the bacon long enough for it to actually make it into your recipe, you have the makings for some very tasty meals. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The spiral binding on this book makes it easy to follow the recipes because it doesn’t change the page while your back is turned. Who hasn’t had the page turn on them while they are making a recipe? This makes for some interesting meals. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This easy to follow book will make a great addition to your cookbook collection.

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">By now I think we have read and reviewed just about every kind of book about just about any subject that can be considered to be Christian-friendly. This was a very different kind of book. How exactly can one categorize a book like this that has a lot of good stuff in it? </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is the happy, sad, bitter-sweet book about Mike Cook and his family and the story about how he and his wife started and continue to run Allow the Children ministries. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is more than just that, though. It is the story about the absolute love he was given from two very special ladies in his life, who showed absolute love to him and to his entire family. </span></div>

He did not say it in these exact words, but it seems that God was trying to teach him to “Leap and the net will appear”.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are a Christian, you have to read this book. It is an amazing story of an amazing testimony written from the heart.</span></div>

Psychologists label some of these ways as Fight, Flight, or Freeze. Some of us would add the word Freak, as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This short book(91 pages) is very hard on the eyes. The page numbers are light orange.

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will want to stock up on tissues before you start. You will also want to keep an extra copy, or ten, of this book on hand. That way when people ask you why you are crying, or smiling, or laughing, or irritated, or whatever emotion you are displaying, you can hand them a copy of this book so they can see for themselves.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We read over 200 books a year here at McClendon Villa. That being said, you must know it takes a lot to make it onto our very short list of outstanding books. Last year only five made it. This year so far, only My Father's Gift has made it onto that short list. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Atabong tells us the story of his father’s life along with how he and his father interacted with one another. I have never met Atabong’s father, but I would have to believe that he is very proud of all that his son has accomplished. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is very hard to believe that this author started this book shortly after declaring that he didn’t write. He has done an outstanding job with this book and has told his story and that of his father very well. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I am glad we share the same adopted home state. We didn’t have to travel as far as the author did to get to Texas, but we both got here as fast as we could. He got here first. </span></div>

We hear so much about keto diets now but, what is a keto diet and how will it help? </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2RzxgkC" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keto in 30 Minutes: 100 No-Stress Ketogenic Diet Recipes to Keep You on Track by Jen Fisch</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> will answer many of your questions. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book takes the time to explain what a keto diet is and what it isn’t. Did you know that certain vegetarian dishes can be a part of a keto diet?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Evidently, the keto diet was intended to help with epilepsy. It has also been used to help with Parkinson’s Disease. The thing is, you should never start a diet of any type without discussing it with your doctor, nutritionist and/or other medical professional.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book answers the question, “How do I know I am in keto?” </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will learn about the proper kitchen tools to make following a keto diet easier and about exercise, as well. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is probably something a diabetic wants to shy away from but, for many others, the keto diet may just be what you are looking for. </span></div>

That is keto meals that are quick and easy to prepare without a lot of fuss and muss. </span></div>

In the Old Testament, the Israelites are instructed not to marry people from the occupied lands. The reason for this is that we are often enticed to follow the gods of the other people. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In today’s modern world, this translates into Christians not being in a relationship with non-Christians for the same reason. After a while, we tend to gravitate towards the non-Christian lifestyle of the other. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is where </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2VwkYIQ" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Together With Christ: A Dating Couples Devotional: 52 Devotions and Bible Studies to Nurture Your Relationship by Chelsea Damon</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> can help dating couples. It can even help newlyweds and not-so-newlyweds, as well. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book presents 52 weekly devotions designed for couples to read and discuss together. The subjects covered are very important to couples who are striving to have a Christian relationship and a successful marriage. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If a couple will sit down together and truly discuss each weekly devotion, they stand a much better chance at a successful marriage than they would if they did not. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2VwkYIQ" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Together With Christ</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> also makes a great text for a small group Bible study. Your church should strongly consider this. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If your families are from different Christian denominations, it would be well to sit down with both sides of the new family separately, and maybe even together, to work through this book.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remember, one must put God in charge of your married life. Therefore, if marriage is a good thing right now, it will be a good thing a year from now. Don’t rush it; grow together and give your marriage the best chance at success that you can. </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2VwkYIQ" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Together With Christ</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> will help you to do that. </span></div>

I did not want to be left out, so I taught myself using the World Book Encyclopedia. It gave me the basics, but it did not teach me any strategy.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once you buy </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2Vtbr55" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Chess for Beginners: Know the Rules, Choose Your Strategy, and Start Winning by Yelizaveta Orlova</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, you will not only know the basics, but you will learn some basic strategies for winning at chess.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are a few problems with this book. The first problem is that the chess quotes included in the book are written in a light red which does not stand out very well from the background.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There </span><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">appears</span><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to be a mistake in placing a heading on page 67. To me it appears that the bold words that say Diagram 6.13 should actually appear just over the heading Why Did Black Make This Move? instead of where it has been placed. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I really think that this book would be better if there were more step-by-step diagrams, rather than a few diagrams, to support the moves discussed.</span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will not be a World Champion just by reading </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2Vtbr55" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Chess for Beginners</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Then again, that would be expecting too much from a book designed to teach you the basics. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once you have your copy of this book, you will want to teach your children basic chess and then make the game a part of your family home evening. </span></div>

Someone says something like, “You must have left him some really good cookies.” The little girl says, “I didn’t leave him cookies, I left him cheese.” That year our kids left an institutional size can of cheese under the tree. It didn’t help.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What if Santa was lactose intolerant, like Tim Allen’s Santa character in </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2CNdppR" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Santa Clause</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">? If you have </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2BS1yF" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Super Easy Vegan Cheese Cookbook: 70 Delicious Plant-Based Cheeses by Janice Buckingham</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, you will have the answer.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is super easy to follow. There is like a mini course in plant-based cheese making in the front of the book. There is a list of the very few tools you will need and what basic ingredients you will need to keep on hand. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The instructions tell how you can make your own milk out of nuts like almonds or walnuts, but that you can also make it out of seeds like sesame seeds. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We all need to live healthier. Big pharma does not want you to be healthy, they want to keep you sick. They have teamed up with Big Farm and the food manufacturers to make sure whatever dairy you get is loaded with things that are bad for you. The only chance you have of staying healthy is eating a proper, natural diet. Making your own vegan cheese is a step in the right direction. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2BS1yF" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Super Easy Vegan Cheese Cookbook</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is very well-written and easy to follow. The steps are basic and it does not take a long time to make these cheeses.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will be healthier when you start to eat better. . You probably won’t get a Christmas card from your doctor though. </span></div>

This seems like we need to clarify what is right or what is wrong, but humans are endowed with an instinct that tells us what is right and what is wrong. This works well, until it doesn’t.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It seems that greed will cause a person’s moral compass to fail. I have seen it before. All the front line employees could see a crisis coming, but the powers that be simply would not listen to those who could actually see that the emperor had no clothes. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the book </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2CGM7RL" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Broken Business: Seven Steps to Reform Good Companies Gone Bad by José R. Hernandez</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, the author presents a case study of a fictitious company that is based on a composite of several companies he has worked with. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hernandez tells his readers about how there are many myths regarding corporate scandal and how it is important to deal with them properly when they occur. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He points out that most companies don’t just all of a sudden have a crisis. Typically, it is a series of things that could have been nipped in the bud had the C-Suite been paying better attention to the details. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The author tells his readers about how a company responds initially to a crisis. He points out how on top of it Johnson and Johnson was during the Tylenol scare. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is also important that the company admits to wrongdoing as soon as they are made aware of it. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nixon might have remained president until the end of his term if he had just admitted to his part in Watergate instead of lying to Congress and the American people. Clinton’s scandal would have gone away much sooner had he just admitted it.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Reagan appeared before the nation and admitted that wrongdoing happened on his watch. Most of us forgot all about the whole Iran Contra thing soon after that. No, we didn’t completely forget, but it was no longer a major deal. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Broken Business, we learn about the necessary steps to get a business back on track after a major, self-inflicted crisis. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If your business is going through a crisis, Broken Business just may offer you some helpful tools. If your business isn’t going through a crisis, it is best you go ahead and read it now. Sooner or later, one or several of your employees will, as our kids say, “Do the stupid”. This book might help you be ready when they do. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2CGM7RL" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Broken Business</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is well-written and very readable. There aren’t any complicated charts, graphs, or theories, just good, common sense advice to help you keep your company moving forward. </span></div>

When we read </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2ReRAHV" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Is Heaven a Place?: Making Sense of Biblical Stories in the Twenty-first Century by Richard B. Fratianne, MD</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, and started to write this review, we prayed even more and harder. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It appears that when Fratianne</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> started out to write this book, his intentions were to suggest that his church, the Catholic Church, needed to change the way they presented certain parts of the Bible to make them more relevant to our modern society. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We, David and Suzanne, are both Protestant, from Protestant backgrounds. I, David, was raised as a Southern Baptist in a Bible-believing church. That is, every word of the Holy Bible is literally true. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Suzanne is from a Holiness background. The holiness church is also Bible-believing. For us, every word of the Bible is literally true. The parables that Jesus used to teach were not based upon any particular person or event, just meant as illustrations. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We have read our Bibles all the way through several times over. We have read different translations in order to have a better understanding. At no point did we believe that Adam and Eve did not actually eat the fruit of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden. It appears that whatever translation of the Bible </span><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fratianne</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> uses only calls it the Tree of Knowledge and leaves off the part of Good and Evil.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It just so happens that this time around in reading the Bible, I am using our oldest daughter’s Saint Joseph Edition of the New American Bible, which is a Catholic Bible. We looked back at the account of Adam and Eve in this version and it refers to the tree as the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad. The author makes his case based upon the name of the tree as the Tree of Knowledge. He then bases his narrative of the fruit ingestion on this name. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our big problem in reviewing this book is that we are Protestant and he is Catholic speaking about things within the Catholic Church. When he speaks of Moses, he speaks of things that we have never heard of. How can we judge him based upon things that aren’t in our Bible and we have not yet read them in the Catholic Bible, when they may be taught as part of the Catholic faith? </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our reading of all the versions of the Bible we have encountered show that Moses fled Egypt as a young man because he had killed an Egyptian who was physically mistreating a Hebrew slave. Pharaoh found out about this killing and was going to kill Moses because of it. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When </span><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fratianne</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> tells us about Moses leaving Egypt, he tells the story differently from how we learned it in Sunday School and also differently from how it is in any of the Bibles we have consulted. He tells us that Moses was kicked out of Egypt for proclaiming his Jewish heritage. He was supposedly cast out into the desert with one day’s worth of water and a walking stick. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He tells us that the Burning Bush was not an actual event, but how Moses told Sarah that when we was there, he saw the bush “As if” it was burning and not being consumed. We have no idea who this particular Sarah is because Moses’ wife at the time was Zipporah. Moses may or may not have married again later on, but we are not told this. The author does not say this Sarah is Moses’ wife, but then, who is she? Abraham’s wife was Sarah, but she lived over 400 years earlier. It is not likely that this is the Sarah Moses was talking to. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If nothing else, </span><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fratianne</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> caused us to have some in depth discussions about the Bible and sent us back to study the scriptures even harder. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After reading the take that </span><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fratianne has on the feeding of the 5,000, I began to see that perhaps he meant that things that did actually occur were ALSO metaphors for other things. That things did actually happen, but the telling of the story is also meant to tell us something else. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall, it appears that the author paints a picture of the Catholic church that has adopted practices that would be very much like that of the Pharisees from Jesus’ time on earth. By that I mean that the church has added things that are not in the Bible. Nowhere in our reading of the Bible do we find that sexual relations between a husband and a wife are a sin. In fact, there are a few places in the Bible where we are told not to withhold that type of intimacy from our spouse. We are told that sex outside of wedlock is a sin. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">From what I gather from reading this book, Catholics are taught that they are born as the result of a sinful act and therefore a baby must be baptised to atone for a sinful life. Perhaps this is one of the things Dr. Fratianne</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> believes should be adjusted in the Catholic teaching. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I learned a lot while reading </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2ReRAHV" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Is Heaven a Place?</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I don’t agree with some of the ideas of the author, but I would have to say he presents his case well for what he does believe. The book is very readable and easy to understand what the author is trying to say. I would like to see more scripture reference with a note about what version of the Bible the author used. </span></div>
<br /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall, we would recommend this book with the caveat that the reader should be very well grounded in their faith before reading this book. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This author is a medical doctor. It would seem that if one were unfortunate enough to need the medical services this doctor provides (he deals in critical burn cases),one could not find a better doctor to have. We all need to know that our medical care team leader is a Christian who has learned the true meaning of servant leadership. Our hats are off to Dr. Fratianne</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are some great instructions for any beginning cook. No one wants those early failures most of us had when we were learning how to cook. The first time I tried to make gravy, even the dog wouldn’t eat it. The first time Suzanne made it, you could slice it.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But, you can avoid those problems if you follow these directions step-by-step. There are even directions on how to follow the directions for making the perfect dish every time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Parents, you can help your older kids take some of the work off of you when you buy your kids the Kid Chef line of books. You can be sure your kids have the skills they need to handle themselves in the kitchen and make you a wonderful meal. </span></div>
