I have never been good with money, so I hoped this book would help me turn things around. My brother lives right near Amish-town Landcaster, PA, so I've visited the place before and heard how many Amish are very wealthy. So figured I would learn a lot from living "the simple life". This book is NOT about the Amish living. It is like the author used the "Amish" name to sell a book. The book teaches you NOTHING new at all. It is all stuff you already know - like don't buy on impulse, pay your bills on time and don't get late fees and interest, don't borrow and pay interest, give your kids hand-me-down clothes instead of buying new, repair worn or torn clothes, don't buy all those kitchen gadgets and use your hands to mix instead, etc. There is nothing new at all in this book! What a waste! I would NOT recommend this book. You will be wanting your time back after reading this.

BUY IT: I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris
Every Single Christian Should Read This
As a young Christian woman, I lvoed this book! Christian parents will also love this book. It makes a perfect present for singles and your teens. This book is about waiting, of course. It is not offensive or too much for a teenager and shoulnd't turn them off. It doens't tell you like a bossy know-it-all adult, so it isn't offensive to the reader. In fact, it makes waiting for love beautiful. I recommend this book for all those singles out there. I am 17 and still waiting for my love. I am happy to wait and this book inspires me to continue waiting.

The Final Summit
This book was really DUMB!!! The main character David is taken to a meeting with all these famous people to decide how to save humanity. The archangel Gabriel tells them to find the solution to this question: "What does humanity need to do, individually or collectively, to restore itself to the pathway towards a successful civilzation?" Gabriel tells them they have 5 guesses or God will destroy/end the world. Sounds kind of interesting, right? But their guesses are pretty silly (something you and I probably would never guess) and the solution is SOOO stupid, you will die! In fact, the solution is not even a solution - it is the REAL LIFE cause/problem with the world right now! How could the author get the answer SO BACKWARDS??? If you are a thinker, you will want to throw this book out after you are done!
Don't Read Further if you don't want to know the 5 guesss and the solution:

Guess 1: Courage (wrong answer)
Guess 2: Seek wisdom (wrong answer)
Guess 3: Be courageous (wrong answer)
Guess 4: Self-discipline (wrong answer)
Guess 5: Develop character (wrong answer)
So they used up all their 5 guesses. Then suddenly they come up with the REAL SOLUTION and tell Gabriel and he accepts their answer: DO SOMETHING. Do Something is the solution to all humanity's problems. Since I couldn't ever believe "Doing something" is the solution, I hated this book. What a let down. They didn't even try "faith" or "love" or something like that. "Do something"??? But all humans are already "doing something". It just isn't the right something.

The Book That Made Your World
I hated this book. I hated it so much! It was a complete let down and so so painful and boring to read! The Intro was so boring! Then the first chapter was death! It starts off talking about the importance of having a spiritual life. The idea is that if you don't have a spiritual life, your life will have no meaning. It uses Kurt Cobain lead singer of US grunge rock band as an example of what you may become if you have no spiritual life - a guy who blows his brains out with a shotgun. So you go, well, that's not me or anyone I know, but okay.... And you try to keep reading. But the book turns really stupid! It goes into music appreciation - how God created the world with music built into the creation mathematically. Okay. But all the paragraphs are disjointed. The author is clearly obsessed and in love with Kurt Cobain because he is brought up again and again and again to the point this is ridiculous! I thought this was supposed to be a REAL book. An intelligent book? This is not supposed to be a Kurt Cobain fan book! Oh... and for those who didn't know.... per Wikipedia, this guy was so "different" from others that he demanded/insisted on using a naked baby boy with a long penis as the cover of his CD. And the back? Wikipedia says he took pictures of DISEASED vaginas (from his private medical collection? WTF?) and put them on the back cover. SICK. Is it any surprise he blew his brains out? You have to have a pretty weird mind to get off on such images.

No He Can't: How Barak Obama Is Dismanteling Hope And Change
I was disappointed in this book. It does cover all the areas that Barak Obama failed America and most of the lies he told and broken promises he told, but the book was pretty slow and boring. It didn't flow smoothly and didn't grasp my attention. I thought the writing style was dry - there was no emotion. Even though I'm not happy with Obama's policies, I still couldn't even get an emotional reaction of disappointment, anger or anything after reading this book.
The book points out how Obama let America down in a very dry unemotional way, listing tons of facts among lots of words. If you want to know the anti-Obama truth, this may be a good book to read because it is filled with tons of facts and stories that you probably don't know. Unfortunately, I think the writing is a bit dry. If you are an Obama lover, you won't like this book either, because it portrays Obama as a real douche bag, who has sold his soul to make it, a baby-killer (who voted for disabled babies to be left on a table to starve to death) at a hospital owned by Obama's Christian denomination, a complete liar who will tell any lie to get his way, and a man who tells a thousand promises and breaks every one of them just as easily.
