Out of Control (The Kincaid Brides Book #1)
What fun to read. Story is interesting and the plot turns make it fun. I hated to put it down.
Rafe Kincaid has spent years keeping his family’s cattle ranch going, all without help from his two younger brothers, who fled the ranch–and Rafe’s controlling ways–as soon as they were able. He’s haunted by one terrible day at the cave on a far-flung corner of the Kincaid property, a day that changed his life forever. Ready to put the past behind him, he plans to visit the cave one final time. He sure doesn’t expect to find a young woman trapped in one of the tunnels–or to be forced to kiss her!
Rafe is more intrigued by Julia than any woman he’s ever known, but how can he overlook her fascination with the cave he despises? And when his developing relationship with Julia threatens his chance at reconciliation with his brothers, will he be forced to choose between the family bonds that could restore his trust and the love that could heal his heart?

How Successful People Think Differently
Very encouraging book. Learn the steps to making things happen in your life. You’ll be much more satisfied when you begin to accomplish your goals.
How Successful People Think Differently
Why is it that some people are able to achieve so much success – in their personal, professional, social lives – whereas so many others are struggling? For example, when two people commit to a goal – say, to go to the gym and lose weight, why does one of them manage to follow through, and the other one doesn’t?
What are successful people doing differently from the failures? How are successful people thinking differently from the failures? Are successful people wired differently from the rest of us? Is success simply encoded in their DNA? Or is it something else? And the more important question is: How can we get access to the magic ingredient that successful people have and add it to our own lives so that we too may experience more success in our lives?
Learn how Successful Men and Women Think Differently – and How You Can Too
This short and practical guide will inspire you to rethink how you set and achieve your goals. In How Successful People Think Differently you will learn:
•Why successful people say “I don’t” instead of “I can’t”
•Why successful people never suppress their desires – and what they do instead
•How successful people think smart
•The “if-then” strategy that triples your chances of achieving success
•The type of thinking that makes successful people successful in the first place
•Why The Secret is setting you up for failure
•The wrong (and the right) way to visualize your goals (this alone will be worth the price of the book!)
•The right (and the wrong) type of thinking that either sets up you up for success or failure
•Simple, and sometimes surprising, success principles to help you achieve your goals
•And a lot more…
Based on Intensive Scientific Research: Learn the Science of Success
In the last 100 years, science has made remarkable progress in unlocking the secrets behind successful people. Science has uncovered just how successful people think differently and how successful people think smarter than the rest of us. Unfortunately, a lot of this great, life-changing research is hidden inside dense, boring, hard-to read academic literature.
Fortunately, I’ve gone through that research for you – and in this success booklet, you’re going to be getting access to life-changing tools and strategies that are scientifically-proven to help you achieve your personal and career goals, whatever they may be.
Simple, and Sometimes Surprising Secrets of Success
A lot has been written about goal setting, achievement and success. A lot of this advice sounds good but is not very useful, such as “Never give up. Think positive. Take risks”. This short and fun ebook provides you with practical tools that you can use to change your thinking and change your life.
Just One Idea…
Learn the science of success, and apply the success principles in this book to set and achieve your own goals, whatever they may be. Some success principles will provide validation of what you already think to be true (but didn’t have proof for), whereas other principles will surprise.
Here’s the promise: All these principles are simple to apply, and if you apply them to your life, you will begin to experience more success in all areas of life.
How do I know?
Because I have proof (inside!)
Just one idea in this book might be the inspiration and the spark of change you are looking for…just one idea can change your life.
Now, does that sound good?
Then scroll up to buy the book and let’s get started.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: Unleash a Revolution in Your Life In Christ
Although written in easy reading form, there is much to chew on in this book, much to digest. Pick it up for your summer reading under a shade tree on your vacation. Read it slowly and contemplate the Lord’s presence as you do so. You won’t be sorry, you’ll be changed.
Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can’t be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do:
Avoid conflict in the name of Christianity
Ignore his anger, sadness, and fear
Use God to run from God
Live without boundaries
Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health, a relationship with Jesus, and the classic practices of contemplative
spirituality. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution, utterly transforming him and his church.
In this book Scazzero outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested ways to break through to the revolutionary life Christ meant for you.
“The combination of emotional health and contemplative spirituality,” he says, “unleashes the Holy Spirit inside us so that we might experientially
know the power of an authentic life in Christ.”

My three year old received this book for Christmas and it INSTANTLY became one of his favorites! It’s a fun, easy to read book that points out how a military dad is just like a super hero. For our family, it helped to validate for my son why his Daddy wears a certain uniform to work everyday and why he has to be “at work” for long periods of time, among other things.

Shadows of the Past (Logan Point Book #1): A Novel
As a huge fan of romantic suspense, I’m delighted to have discovered a new author! Though Shadows of the Past is Patricia Bradley’s debut novel, I was hard pressed to believe it! The suspense was awesome, and the crimes (yes, plural!) were extremely well-developed. I had a hint of who was behind the main crime about midway through, but I was never completely certain until the end. It was fascinating to see how the different cases related.

Ms. Austin weaves the historical stories throughout the narrative very well. The reader is pulled into every story. I found myself tearing up at various points because the stories were so moving.

This is the first novel I have read by Brandilyn Collins and I loved it. I plan to read more by her as I find her style very much like Terri Blackstock, who has won my admiration and loyalty over many years.
When she receives her letter of acceptance for the trial, Lisa is at first hopeful. But—brain surgery. Can she really go through with that? What if she receives only the placebo?
What if something far worse goes wrong?
Written in the relentless style for which Brandilyn Collins is known, Double Blind is a psychological thriller with mind-bending twists. Lisa faces choices that drive her to the brink, and one wrong move could cost the lives of many.
