Switching Time

"A doctor's harrowing story of treating a women with 17 personalities."

One afternoon in 1989, Karen Overhill walks into psychiatrist Richard Baer’s office complaining of vague physical pains and depression. Odder still, she reveals that she’s suffering from a persistent memory problem. Routinely, she “loses” parts of her day, finding herself in places she doesn’t remember going to or being told about conversations she doesn’t remember having. Her problems are so pervasive that she often feels like an impersonator in her own life; she doesn’t recognize the people who call themselves her friends, and she can’t even remember being intimate with her own husband. source: http://www.switchingtime.com/

My Review :
What an amazing story of tragedy and triumph.As soon as I got my hands on this book I COULD NOT put it down.As I kept reading I was in shock as to how someone such as "Karen" could survive an go on  with the events that had happened to her.I read and read as if there was no ending to this book,yes its that good.When things started to come to light you really get to understand the functions each personality had,their story is Remarkable.One would think that how is it even possible to have so many entities in you that you yourself are not aware of . Overall this story is AMAZING. I strongly recommend it to anyone who happens to come across this book.

Review-Life Promises For Couples

Book Description

Everybody wants a strong, loving, God-centered marriage. In Life Promises for Couples, New York Times bestselling relationship expert Dr. Gary Chapman provides trusted words of wisdom designed to encourage and inspire couples, alongside key Bible verses that illuminate God’s plan for marriage and for nurturing healthy, happy relationships. Whether you are a young couple just starting out or you’ve just celebrated your 50th wedding anniversary, your marriage is sure to benefit from the timeless wisdom contained in this beautifully designed two-color gift book.

My Review-
There is no better way to start the day than with a word from God and devotionals are a great way to do that and explore the bible at the same time. Spending a few minutes each morning together allows my husband and I to center ourselves before starting the day. My hubs doesn't have a huge attention span, but this book is set up so that it only takes a few minutes to read each day. It is a beautiful little hard back book that can be for any couple, even those just dating. There are a few Life Promises or scriptures each day and then a devotional page to go with them. We are loving this book and recommend it highly!

My Review-
This is a must read for anyone with a family, especially fathers. In this book, Andy teaches about the balance that we believe exists between work and home. Many workers today are working for some distant goal and putting their families on hold for the future - and they are missing out.
He talks about the principle that God called us to be part of our family and we can not be replaced in that unit, so we should not give priority to our job, where we can be replaced. When all is said and done, our family will still exist, or job will not.As a stay at home mom this book really spoke to me even if I dont work sometimes my priorities are on things like doing the laundry and such and as I was reading this it got me thinking.Overall good book for anyone who wants to make family a little better.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

My Review-
I received a free copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers for the purposes of this review. I was not required to write a positive review.I am also doing a giveaway for this book as well.Good Luck and happy reading.

The book focuses on a Texan family who adopted a ten year old girl from China and her Chinese sister (who is working as a doctor in the USA). The Chinese doctor, Kai, desperately searches for her youngest sister Lily who was adopted by an American couple. She fears that Lily may have a deadly disease which killed their mother. Lily (who was renamed Joy by her adoptive parents) is a rebellious teen whose parents are at their wits end, but who wish to continue protecting her and loving her. They are hesitant to meet with Kai when she contacts them, but they do and all their lives are changed.

Kai speaks of her family's tragic history in China's cultural revolution and her memories from childhood. She gains the family's trust (including Lily/Joy's) and their drama continues together. Throughout it all, Kai struggles with/seeks for God.

I don't want to give more away, but I will say that I was entranced by the story. It is a very intense story, one I hated to put down. I would strongly recommend this book!It's a dramatic book, but an easy read. Very nice!
