Story
Laura Cavendish can't wait to meet the woman who's won her son's affection. Despite a successful career in television and a long, prosperous marriage, Laura's world revolves around kind, talented Daniel. She pictures his new girlfriend, Cherry, becoming a close friend and confidante ...one day, even a daughter-in-law. But although Cherry is beautiful and amiable, Laura can't warm to her. There's something about the possessive way she touches Daniel, the little lies Laura detects. Cherry seems to resent Laura, driving a wedge between mother and son - until one day Daniel is injured.

I was much more than halfway through before I finally figured out the villian. I was doubting myself instead as I found I was routing for everyone. Well played.

Discover the bottomless, refreshing Well of God’s Word―and experience a fullness and peace beyond your circumstances. In the chaos of our everyday, it can be difficult to live out and apply the truths of Scripture. We want more of Jesus, but we find ourselves looking to our own lives and accomplishments for our worth and identity. And while that may buoy us for a time, we’re often left feeling dried up, discouraged, and longing for more.

This book touched on a number of tender issues and acted like a soothing balm, coating them with God's gentle, kind reminders that can be found throughout His Word. Thank you Gretchen for putting it all in one precious read.

Story
In a remote village near the English coast, residents gather in a misty churchyard. More than a decade into the 20th century, superstition still holds sway: It is St. Mark's Eve, the night when the shimmering ghosts of those fated to die in the coming year are said to materialize and amble through the church doors. Alone in the crowd is Constantia Gifford, the taxidermist's daughter. Twenty-two and unmarried, she lives with her father on the fringes of town, in a decaying mansion.

Zero redeeming qualities in this book. A self-aggrandizing statistician, posing as a guru for health, fitness and prowess, with a little humble-bragging thrown in. Save yourself the cringe.

Story
In the first half of life, we are naturally preoccupied with establishing ourselves; climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and encounter challenges and mistakes, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. This message of falling down - that is in fact moving upward - is the most resisted and counterintuitive of messages in the world's religions. Falling Upward offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how those who have fallen down are the only ones who understand "up".

The Courage to Be Disliked, already an enormous best seller in Asia with more than 3.5 million copies sold, demonstrates how to unlock the power within yourself to be the person you truly want to be. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 20th-century psychology, The Courage to Be Disliked follows an illuminating conversation between a philosopher and a young man. The philosopher explains to his pupil how each of us is able to determine our own life, free from the shackles of past experiences, doubts, and the expectations of others.

A novel way to deliver philosophy principles
Reviewed: 11-09-22
Putting Adler's philosophy into a dialogue made it enjoyable and easy to follow. I struggle with the over simplification of his concept of achieving happiness which seems to denounce any morale or biblical view tied to the instruction "for happiness, contribute to others." It's a good start for the self-absorbed, but will, in the long run, not allow one to achieve fulfillment, but perhaps only a temporary state of happiness.

Love her original skepticism around all things "self-help" and the honest and humorous way she came to realize the value in it. For those who really want to make a change, this is a great nudge forward.

Story
For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country's business and management philosophers" ( Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management - the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done". This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive.
