This is a great book to get started on gardening. I appreciated the references that were included. I never thought of using the farmers almanac before. I am going to look at that next.
Raised beds are perfect for growing lots of vegetables in small spaces. They’re also ideal for anyone who doesn’t want to sit or bend down to pull weeds every day. Raised beds even look better than regular gardens because you can customize the bed boxes to fit the aesthetics of your landscaping.
If all of those reasons aren’t enough consider this; you can grow more healthy vegetables with less of your own effort which means more produce will make it to your dinner table, and you’ll have more time and energy to enjoy it.
This book covers everything you need to know to create your own raised bed garden and grow your own vegetables this season. It includes:
– Garden Design tips to get the most out of your garden
– How to build your raised beds, from fancy beds to free ones
– Improving your soil to grow the healthiest plants
– What to plant
– When to plant it
– Low-maintenance tips to make weeds almost non-existent
If you are excited to put some plants in the ground and start your own garden paradise then I am excited to show you how!

So, how do we do it? Working since the age of 5, Candace has been in a balancing act for nearly her entire life. She is the first to tell you that there is no miracle formula for perfect execution in every area of your life, but there definitely are some lessons to be learned, lessons that come to life in Candace’s story.
Come along and dig into Candace’s story from her start in commercials, the balance-necessitating years on Full House, to adding on the roles of wife and mom while also returning to Hollywood. Insightful, funny, and poignant, Candace’s story will help you balance it all.

Girl Talk: Mother-Daughter Conversations on Biblical Womanhood
“Girl Talk” is a gem. I have a 16 year old daughter who was not at all interested in doing a “book study” with her old mom over the summer, but has opened up and blossomed as we have explored the biblically-based truths in this book. It’s so great to hear from someone else what I have believed all along!
Mothers and daughters have a lot to talk about. That’s how God designed it. A mother is her daughter’s first role model, teacher, and friend, and she carries the responsibility of passing on to her daughter a legacy of biblical womanhood.
Join mother-daughter team Carolyn Mahaney and Nicole Whitacre as they give you insights and suggestions on how to talk-really talk-to each other about what it means to become a godly woman. Tips and study questions make it easy for moms and their pre-teen and teenage daughters to read, share, discuss, and grow.

Pati’s Mexican Table: The Secrets of Real Mexican Home Cooking
This book is more than just a collection of recipes. It is a deceptively cunning tool to get you inspired to try and make your own Mexican food as well as to try a lot of possibly new things. Certainly this reviewer can see it responsible for a bit of a dietary shift for many households once the cook gets addicted. An everyday book for everyone.
Her dishes are not blanketed with cheese, or heavy and fried, or based on complex sauces. Nor are they necessarily highly spicy. Surprising in their simplicity and freshness, they incorporate produce and grains. Most important, they fit perfectly into an everyday family cooking schedule and use just a handful of ingredients, most of which are already in your pantry. Many are homey specialties that Pati learned from her mother and grandmother, some are creative spins on classics, while others are not well known outside of Mexico.
Dishes like Chicken à la Trash (it’s delicious!), a one-pot meal that Pati gleaned from a Mexican restaurant cook; Mexican Meatballs with Mint and Chipotle; Sweet and Salty Salmon; and Mexican-Style Pasta can revitalize your daily repertoire. You’ll find plenty of vegetarian fare, from Classic Avocado Soup, to Divorced Eggs (with red and green salsa), to Oaxaca-Style Mushroom and Cheese Quesadillas.
Your friends and family will enjoy Tomato and Mozzarella Salad with Pickled Ancho Chile Vinaigrette; Crab Cakes with Jalapeño Aioli; and Chicken Tinga — (you can use rotisserie chicken), which makes a tasty filling for tortas and tostadas. Pati also shares exciting dishes for the holidays and other special occasions, including Mexican Thanksgiving Turkey with Chorizo, Pecan, Apple, and Corn Bread Stuffing; Spiral-Cut Beef Tenderloin; and Red Pozole (“a Mexican party in a bowl”), which she served on her wedding day.Desserts like Triple Orange Mexican Wedding Cookies, Scribble Cookies
(sandwich cookies filled with chocolate), and little Apricot-Lime Glazed Mini Pound Cakes are sophisticated yet simple to make.

How to Handle Adversity (Charles Stanley Discipleship)
have read this book three times, each at a point of pain and difficulty. This is a great book and a mighty tool that God has used to change my life. We cannot choose what trials come into our life but our choices will determine what it will do to us. This book will equipt you to choose wisely. I recommend it to everyone, for adversity will come to all, sooner or later.
You lost your job. Your son ran away. A loved one just died from cancer. Your best friend is getting a divorce. The list is endless.
Adversity is a reality that no one can avoid. Everyone asks why when adversity strikes. Yet Dr. Stanley contends, “As much as we all want to know the answer to the why question, it is really not the most significant question. The real question each of us needs to ask is, ‘How should I respond?'”
How to Handle Adversity helps you learn to
Ask the right questions about adversity
Become a comfort to others
Rediscover the faithfulness of God
Deal with pride and weakness
Look at adversity from God’s perspective
Glorify God in your adversity
If you are a child of God whose heart’s desire is to see God glorified through you, adversity will not put you down for the count. There will be those initial moments of shock and confusion. But the man or woman who has God’s perspective on this life and the life to come will always emerge victorious! ―Charles Stanley

Once again, Swindoll has written an excellent book addressing a problem in the Christian community: this one focuses on the challenge of refusing to live like the world and serving others in Jesus’ name.

What it takes to serve unselfishly
Why a servant has such a powerful influence
What challenges and rewards a servant can expect
He offers clear guidelines on developing a servant’s heart and challenges you to realize the rich rewards promised in a life of authentic Christian servanthood.

This book is a must-read for anyone hung up on religious rules & regulations! The book is easy to read and understand, and Mr. Stanley’s practical approach is sure to touch anyone that has any doubts on their eternal salvation!
Is it actually possible to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I am going to heaven?
If you say that my salvation is “eternally secure” and that I can never lose it, does that mean that I can commit any sin and still go to heaven?
How can an understanding of “eternal security” make a difference in my Christian life?
With the wisdom and skill of a man who has personally wrestled with these questions, internationally-known pastor and bestselling author Charles Stanley addresses the age-old issue of grace vs. works in this compassionate, straight-forward book.
With questions at the end of each chapter, Eternally Secure is an excellent choice for individual or group study.
“I know from experience that until you settle once and for all the question of whether or not you are eternally secure, joy will elude you. Therefore, it is my prayer that God will use this book in your life and that in the very near future you will be able to face life with the confidence that comes through knowing you are eternally secure. ―Charles Stanley

Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit
this book is excellent, Charles Stanley has always been a favorite of mine, He has always delivered sound doctrine and his teachings are excellent, I’d highly recommend this book for everyone who is a believer in Jesus Christ and trying to grow spiritually.
Is the third Person of the Trinity a distant mystery, a vague cosmic force?
Many believers acknowledge Him as a component of faith―but perhaps not as a reality in their daily spiritual walk. Yet the Bible is clear: the Holy Spirit is a vital, equal part of God, promised by the Father to all Christians.
In Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit, beloved pastor and Bible teacher Charles Stanley reveals the inner working of the Spirit with simple, straightforward wisdom. With this book, you can better experience this awesome gift of God as you discover:
What holiness is―and is not
Seven works of the Holy Spirit in your life
Three potentials God desires you to develop
How to remain full of the Holy Spirit
Four great questions to ask God every day
If you are faltering, or easily fall prey to temptation, maybe you’ve forgotten to rely upon the power of the Holy Spirit and begun to rely only on yourself. The Christian life is meant to be increasingly dependent on His power working within you. Learn today to live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

A Mom After God’s Own Heart (George, Elizabeth (Insp))
As with all of Elizabeth George’s books, A Mom After God’s Own Heart is a solid, practical, and very BIBLICAL look at what it means to be a woman who seeks the Lord. This book is filled with excellent application for a mother’s day to day life, yet succeeds in dealing with “heart issues” rather than just being a “to-do list.” I was encouraged and inspired by this read.
The bestsellingauthor of A Woman After God’s Own Heart® (more than 700,000copies sold) has a brand–new release! Elizabeth George’s A Mother After God’s Own Heart offers 10 principles to help moms makeGod an everyday part of their children’s lives. Readers will explore how to…
teach their children God’s Word
train them in God’s ways
talk to children about Jesus
pray with and for them
Elizabeth, who has two grown children and six grandchildren, gives practical advice andreal–life suggestions for helping children—no matter what their ages—incorporateGod into daily life. Elizabeth’s husband, Jim, also provides biblical advice from a dad’s perspective.

Healing Grace (Touch of Grace)
Oh my, what a book. This was my first book to read of Beth Shriver and I really loved it.
As she struggles with the faith she left behind after the death of her mother, Abby finds more than love and safety with Mose and the Amish community. After time spent with Mose and his family, she knows she has to make a choice. Will Abby stay with Mose or go back to her sick father who needs her?

This is an intriguing historical thriller starring a caring missionary who feels safer in Rhodesia than she does in the jungle of New York. Lizzie is terrific as she firmly believes God wants her to remain in Africa, but Andrew makes a convincing case she can do more if she goes home; which she counters is Rhodesia. Though An Ocean Away lacks the intensity of the Mission Hope thriller Blood Ransom (few novels do), readers will enjoy this engaging 1920s tale with its message to embrace God rather than running away from the Lord even when a tragedy strikes a loved one.

Yesterday: Book One (Christian Romantic Suspense, Time Travel Romance)
I completely loved this story! Right from the first sentence, the plot grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go until the final page. I give ‘Yesterday’ by Amanda Tru a big, blazing A+! Amanda Tru is a new author for me, but she definitely is an author who I can’t wait to read more from in the future. I’m certainly looking forward to reading ‘The Locket’, the second book in the Yesterday Series, next.
