When I sat down to begin reading this book by Nancy Angove, I was just hoping to glean a few tips on livening up my social life but what I found was a treasure trove of good, solid advice from a true woman of wisdom on how to live my life better every day. Nancy shares advice on better relationships, a better and more organized home life that everyone wants to share, and being the kind of friend you hope to find in others. From how to make your home more presentable (no matter what your income or limitations are) to how men can be more attractive to women (this is GOOD advice, guys!), Nancy covers in one small book what takes many of us a lifetime to learn.

If you want to improve your relationships and better order your priorities, this is an excellent book on the basics. If you want stronger friendships and tips on basic etiquette in public (things we think we're doing right but overlook in ourselves), this is a great book. If you wonder why you have no friends or why people shy away from you, you need this book.

I would recommend this book for any adult who wants to come up higher in the area of everyday living, in relationships, in prioritizing their life. It's short, simple and direct, and it's written with lots of humor so it's an easy read. It's 102 pages of good, solid advice to anyone who needs help in their home life or attracting friends or a mate - male or female.

If you have a friend or relative with offensive behavior or manners (or lack thereof) and you don't know how to tell them, buy this book for them!

She didn't believe it could happen to her. A Glimpse of Grace is the amazing story of one woman's journey from wealth and prestige in Dallas to a Texas prison, and how God changed her life during the process. I laughed and cried as I read this book and, ultimately, it ended leaving me wishing it was longer or had a sequel.

An amazing true story of the power of a mighty God to transform completely. I highly recommend this book to every Christian.

One is the first of a five book series and once you get past chapter three, it is almost impossible to put down. A real page-turner, I stayed up until two and three a.m. night after night because I couldn't bear to stop reading! Excellent end times fiction.

Need a miracle? Get this book! Prison to Praise is a story of a military chaplain's life from the time he gave his life to Christ as a rebellious young man and how God taught him the miracle working power of praising God for both the good and the bad. The book is written in simple language and a very interesting read. I highly recommend it !!


Suffering in Slow Motion: Help for Long Journey Through Dementia and Other Terminal Illness
Review Date: 2/27/2010
Helpful Score: 4


Richard and Pamala Kennedy have taken the tragedy of a terminal diagnosis and turned it into a book to help thousands of others who face debilitating diagnoses every day. With tremendous revelation and insight, they share from their experience what helps during the journey of terminal illness from both a caretaker and patient point of view. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves or takes care of someone with any form of dementia or other terminal illness, and also for the patient. Richard's list of ten things a patient can do to help the caregiver really amazed me. Pamala's list of things to do for "finding the inside of you" is life changing. This book reveals the heart of a family living and loving through the loss of one of their own. They do it with love, with grace and with faith. A moving and excellent read, a great encouragement and some of the best advice to caregivers and those they care for I've ever come across, all rolled into one priceless read.

Are you running your life to the best of your ability or is your life running you to death? Is it because you made wrong choices? How to get control and enjoy your life - every day - more than ever before, and not miss any more opportunities in the process. A wonderful little book filled with Nancy Angove's usual motherly wisdom and humor.
