Wanting a Christian Non-Fiction to get you having an honest look at your life?
Whole: An Honest Look at the Holes in Your Life - and How to Let God Fill Them
Review: {W}hole - Lisa Whittle - October 2011
Have you ever looked at your life in a time of reflection and thought Oh Lordy, my life is filled with holes and gaps of when I should have been praising the lord and following him , I went off path and lost my way ? Lisa Whittle has written a book called {W}hole : An Honest Look at the Holes in your life and How to let God Fill them . Her book is ideal for anybody who feels that they have suffered in a way and needs God to fix them in order to make them whole again in his name.  Do not fear though , as we all have plenty of holes in different areas of our lives that need filling and with Lisa's book and God's help we can make ourselves as the band Atomic Kitten sung " You can make me whole again" - in our case the you being God not some hunky guy though who says that God can't be a hunky guy. The book {W}hole also follows ancedotes from author Lisa Whittle's life as she went through some tough times and at times she discovered herself falling away from God and those holes enlarging day by day. The book is split into different chapters and as you will see ,each chapter contains the word Hole. The first chapter is called The Hole Story, and features a bit about how Lisa got to where she is today and how the book came about . the second chapter is called The Hole of Religion , which is something that we as Christians all experience at one point or another in our life - we have or feel a pull from God and may experience a bit of backslide , the next chapter plays as a solution to chapter two and is titled Religion made me Whole again - that having Religion and the relationship with God , we can feel complete . The fourth chapter is titled The Hole of Roles , the way we can feel that when or what we are meant to be can pull us down and cracks or in this case holes start showing and like prior chapter 5 is called Roles made Whole which is a way to counteract the feeling of our roles making us incomplete and lastly chapters 6 and 7 talk about how our experiences can make us feel Holey, they can make us feel negative - end up feeling jaded due to bad experiences but when we put our trust in the lord to fix us and let God do the fixing our experiences can become jofyul and the mistakes that we felt before can help us to learn for next time and can be positively viewed as stepping stones on the journey for God.
So readers ,if you are feeling Holey , Broken filled with empty gaps - Read {W}hole to discover how God can fill you with peace, joy and no more emptiness only love. Being a fan of bright colours, I also loved the white and Lime Green of the Cover.

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
