Grace by Max Lucado

Another book about Grace. I was so excited to get this but also a little worried that it would be another ho hum book about Grace. I started reading the book and had to force myself to put it down and get some sleep. Max Lucado did an awesome job writing this book. He is real about the subject of grace and forces you to look outside of yourself to see if you are living in and accepting God's grace. I finished this book and was happy to see a reading guide at the end, it makes me want to pick the book back up again and read through it using the guide, which I may just do. Grace is not a book you want to pass up. It is such a well written, real, and honest look at God's grace.

Empty Promises

I was so excited to hear that Pete Wilson wrote another book! After reading Plan B, I was so excited to read his new one, Empty Promises. I got the book and dove into it right away. I found this one a lot harder to read than Plan B. I stopped reading after a few chapters and put it down for months, (we moved during this time) and once we moved and I found the book again. I decided I'd give it another try, I did, and had the same problem, so hard to get into! I will get through it eventually, but just couldn't get through it, I don't know what it was. Just finding the beginning of the book long and drawn out. It might just be me, but I was a little disappointed.
