The Best Texas Bucket List by Benjamin Dane

https://tinyurl.com/Best-Texas-Bucket-List

The Best Texas Bucket List and Travel Guide by Benjamin Dane is a MUST HAVE for 4 different groups of people:
1. Texans - Explore your home state!
2. Visitors to Texas - Texas is a big state, so this is the perfect guide to plan a vacation.
3. Potential New Residents - Whether you already have a specific area or undecided, you can make a more informed decision on where to settle.
4. Armchair Travelers - Just because you can't travel now, you can still dream. The beautiful photos and descriptions make it a pleasure to explore Texas from home.

You can subdivide to smaller categories as well. "The Best Texas Bucket List" is already #1 in Kayaking [at the time this review was written]! Whether your interest is in Biking, Spelunking, Cuisine, Music, Rodeo, ordinary or exotic, there's a chance that you will find it! Texas is vast
and varied, from the dense forests of the east to the sprawling deserts of the west. Each region presents unique wonders, challenges, and opportunities for the eager traveler.

Texas is divided into seven regions: Piney Woods, Panhandle Plains, Prairies and Lakes, Hill Country, Gulf Coast, Big Bend Country, and South Texas Plains. The geography ranges from the lush Piney Woods in the east to the rugged beauty of the Big Bend Country in the west. Each region has a distinct climate, from humid subtropical in the Gulf Coast to arid desert in the Big Bend. Dane does not touch on some areas, like famous historical spots, the Houston Space Center, or the various sports teams, but he shares many other areas that should not be missed.

One of my favorite parts of the book is that you will also get access to his interactive website! The photos, the descriptions, and all-important links to help you plan your visit. Speaking of planning, you will love the itinerary! Decide where you want to visit, and you are given the locations of each. I have ridden across Texas, and it always involved 1 or 2 overnight stays even if you aren't sight-seeing! There are also Travel Tips that come in handy.

My dad was raised in Texas, so I enjoyed learning even more about the state he loved dearly. We visited several times beside the driving through on longer trips to other destinations, but I learned so much more about areas I missed through the book and website. It's available in Hardcover, Paperback, and Kindle. I highly recommend The Best Texas Bucket List and Travel Guide: Discover Hidden Gems with Interactive Visuals and Trip Planning... and for you to explore Texas!

There is a River - Patricia Sweet

 

THERE IS A RIVER by Patricia Sweet
Carly Green once knew more love than she’d dreamed possible in the church she and her husband planted, but she’s grown so far apart from the brethren she can no longer call them friends. Her life has gone in a different direction. The glory days of the Jesus movement are long gone and so is Carly’s sense of belonging.

Suspecting her pastor husband of having an affair she’s ready to leave him and the church. But when her sons go missing one after the other she returns to the congregation only to be called out in public for failing as a mother.

Her family in shatters and the faith of many at stake, Carly must find her way back to the place of forgiveness and strength, the foot of the cross.

My Review: This debut novel by Patricia Sweet touched on several topics that are often ignored by some churches. Initially the story is about Carly, a pastor's wife who has slowly drawn more into herself over the years due to the demands of family and work being overshadowed by the expectations of the church and her husband. Carly is feeling alone and abandoned by everyone. This is something I've heard from several pastor's wives.

After the initial introduction to Carly, Sweet introduces more characters and adds more background stories to the lives of each of them. Some help to clarify right away, while others are drawn out more slowly. There were moments when I felt the story could have been tightened a bit, or others explored further, but overall, it was a good story. I won't get into all topics: some are common and others not as normal, but plausible. 

My mild complaint is that the ending seemed a bit rushed. I do plan on reading it again which is something I don't do with all books. And, I would enjoy more books using some of the same people; I wanted to know more about them. I really wish there was a 4.5 stars category! It's not a 5 for me, but 4 is for very good. I hope to read more books from Patricia Sweet.

The Christian Capitalist

 

The Christian Capitalist explores various scriptural references that support twin pillars of Christian belief:
1) working hard to make a productive benefit from talents and materials that God has provided all people; and
2) giving generously to share those benefits with our neighbors in the name of Jesus Christ. Through a discussion of Holy Scripture, it analyzes various passages that relate to these concepts of productivity and generosity, along with two thousand years of history discussing the good works of Christians as examples.

In The Christian Capitalist, you are invited to explore the relationship between faith and economics in depth and examine the gospel of HARD WORK and GENEROUS GIVING. Using a blend of Scripture and History, author Rich Sanders demonstrates traditional methods from Biblical times are applicable to modern capitalism.
Watch: Jean Thomason interviews THE CHRISTIAN CAPITALIST author Rich Sanders.

Ultimately, this book develops a philosophy that is uniquely Christian and capitalist: the Gospel of Hard Work and Generous Giving!
Order your copy of "The Christian Capitalist" today!

MY REVIEW: The Christian Capitalist is an excellent book that, in my opinion, is a practical guide for earning and giving. Not a "Prosperity Gospel" about increasing your wealth for yourself, but about the importance of Hard Work and Generous Giving. The focus is on good stewardship and planning to not meet just your own needs but be able to give to other ministries and organizations. 

The book is divided into 4 Parts:
1. Working and Giving as Children of God
2. Jesus Teaches a New Way to Think About Working and Giving
3. Early Christian Life of Working and Giving
4. The Christian Capitalist

The example of Servant-Leadership is very well demonstrated, and the book can be very useful to those who use the principles as a guideline.
"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." - Hebrews 13:16

MY REVIEW: If you love History, and even if you don't, you will love this fascinating look at some of our American patriots. Mike Rowe has his own place in history as one of America's beloved storytellers, and he uses his talent to skillfully create tales of people who made their mark in the history of the United States of America. Even the stories I knew were told in a fresh style, and with Rowe's heartwarming touches of humor. Those I didn't know gave me an appreciation for people who made an impact on the lives of many...and the desire to know more. I truly hope this is only Part 1 of a series on American Patriots.

MY REVIEW: Jesus: a Deaf Missions film is a marvelous film for anyone to see. I am not deaf and I only know fewer than 10 words in ASL, plus the alphabet. But, that did not prevent me from being engrossed in the story. If anything, I stayed more engaged with the film since I had to rely on viewing and closed captions. I am a person who loves closed captioning, so it wasn't a distraction for me. But the actors were so expressive that the Biblical stories did spring to life without spoken words.

For the hearing, there are background sounds like birds chirping and water running. They are actually more noticeable since there are no words. I think it was easy to follow along with, but I am familiar with the Bible. I truly can not guess the ease (or difficulty) for anyone who has not read the Bible, but I recommend you watch the film. There are many who are willing to answer any questions you have.

Warning: Some scenes are very graphic, especially during the scenes before and including the crucifixion. It may be too much for children or anyone traumatized by the sight of blood or violence. However, for all others, I definitely recommend this remarkable film.
