Collapse of Distinction

Jan 7th, 2010 Posted in Thomas Nelson Book Reviews | no comment »

I’ve been hesitant to review this book because others have done so in and eloquent fashion, and in great detail. I wish this book was around when I was struggling through my MBA. It is easy to read and grasp, without too much “business-ese.” I bought it for my husband, a small business CEO, and he picked up some good pointers for future marketing.

I’m going to give it to a friend, who just is just starting as a marketing director for a small company. I think it will give her an edge. Thanks to Thomas Nelson for making this book available.Collapse Pic

The Sweet By and By

Jan 7th, 2010 Posted in Thomas Nelson Book Reviews | no comment »

Sweet by and bySara Evans and Rachel Hauck have collaborated to create a sweet work of fiction that feels like real life. Having dealt with some of these issues myself, I could relate to the emotions and situations Jade, Beryl, and Willow dealt with.

My take away — moms make mistakes, daughters make mistakes. Moms and daughters: lavish grace on one another because the time is short. My mom just died, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to reconcile some of these issues with her before the “Sweet By and By” for her. In the end, forgiveness and salvation are the important issues, and Evans and Hauck “get it.”
