I really enjoyed this book! But I would Highly suggest buying an actual copy of it!

I love all things travel and knew when this book popped up that I had to read it. For someone who has always wanted to go to Ireland but has yet to have the opportunity this book was a dream! It made my imaginations come alive with the descriptions from the authors. The only thing I wish was that there were pictures in the book.

Highly recommend for anyone who likes travel.

Loved the photo's in this book! They helped bring the recipes to life before I even started making them :) While I have not made all of them, the instructions and ingredients are easy to find and follow. Plus, they taste good. Which is a definite plus. I recommend checking out this book (I am dairy free for life because of an allergy) while not all the recipes were completely dairy free, they were easy to convert.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars :)

This was much more difficult that I thought it would be!
It was sooo.. good for me to complete this 40-day sugar fast while thinking on scripture and how I can apply these principles :)
I really enjoyed the way the book flowed and I loved Wendy Speake's insight and encouragement. I think everyone should read this book at least once.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the encouragement, the health reasons, and for the many truths found between these pages.

This was such a sweetly written story!
 I entirely enjoyed this read. From the very captivating beginning to the mining town of San Francisco, this story gives my imagination room to breath. I loved the characters, the descriptions of them, the interaction between them, and the hopeful lead into to another book at the end. The setting was very informative and gave me a great look at life back in the 1800's. I highly recommend this book.

Oh WOW This book was simply amazing!
 I have not read very many books by Amy Clipston but this one was Great. Such a compelling story about listening to what God has for you even though it is hard and you do not always have support. God uses these times to grow us and show us the way we are suppose to go. A truly great read that made my heart happy ! I highly recommend getting this book into your hands!

"He identified in a way that was so joyously American; an innocence and a humanism. Just a beautiful heart, that he had, and was able to put into his work. Adding screwball comedy elements to it, but at the center of which were these important thoughts about how lucky we are to be alive. He was able to do that in ways that are cinematic and entertaining as well. And eliciting these performances — like Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939, 96%) and Gary Cooper in Meet John Doe (1941, 92%), Cary Grant and everybody else involved in Arsenic and Old Lace (1944, 90%)…"

Charlie played by Logan Lerman is a wallflower, your atypical socially awkward teen watching life pass him by from the sidelines. That is until he starts a new year of school when he meets Sam played by Emma Watson and Patrick (Ezra Miller) two very free spirited older students and their friends. They help Charlie discover love, friendship and music, encourage him to be the writer he can be, and give him life. But then it's time for them to move on for college, and the thoughts that Charlie has been keeping inside about his aunt threaten to spill over and take away his newfound confidence
  
Basically, a (very quick) overview of various branches of Philosophy, lightly touching on - amongst others - some of the following schools of thought:

What is Philosophy, and why we should care?
Aristotle
Buddhism
Confucius
Descartes (Cogito, Ergo Sum)
Stoicism
Taoism

And I've probably missed a few.

While it does it's job in admirably presenting these schools of thoughts and their various proponents, this was (perhaps necessarily) too shallow a read/listen for me. I'm fully aware, however, that that is because I have a scholastic background in studying the same!

Taking my own prejudices out of the equation: a worth-while attempt to bring the subject matter to the masses.
