🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Mothers Vol. 1 by Ben Burgess Jr. is the story of a single mother who struggled to take care of her two boys after her husband was murdered. Juanita is the sole breadwinner for her family. Her husband’s parents are no more and there is not much of a family who could help her with her husband’s funeral or other expenditures.

Juanita works at a prestigious law firm Wayne, Rothstein and Lincoln where her boss doesn’t give a shit about cooperating with her in times of need. Two years after the death of her husband, Juanita’s youngest son Jerami was diagnosed with cancer and his oldest son Jalen was drawn to the streets. Will Juanita be able to protect both of her children?

This is a captivating story that kept me hooked till the last page. The story kept me on the edge of my seat and I was constantly wondering what would happen next. The title of the book is suitable and the story is well paced. Go ahead with this book without any second thoughts.

My Grief Is Not Like Yours

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: My Grief Is Not Like Yours 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Theo Boyd ✍️
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“My Grief is Not Like Yours” written by the author Theo Boyd is a must read. In this book, the author has shared about her unimaginable loss and how she learned to live after it. Theo Boyd has always been close to her parents. Once, when her father was in the driver seat of his tractor, his feet accidentally slipped from the clutch and the tractor ran over her mother Sue.

Sue lost her life. Theo’s father kept on blaming himself. He was unable to bear the pain of loss of his wife so he had taken his own life. Theo’s world turned upside down when she lost the two most important people in her life. Her journey is heartbreaking and yet inspiring at the same time. The way she has described the moments she spent with her parents made me feel how close she was to them.

Theo’s journey is an inspiration to everyone. Through this book, the author is giving hope to others that even after the greater tragedies of life, one can learn to live. The author is assuring others through her story that they aren’t alone in their grief. Theo is guiding the readers towards healing. This book is written well and I had a great time reading it.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Motherhood made Easy for the Indian Motherhood” written by the author Sharu Mukund is an interesting read. In this book, the author has shared the knowledge regarding pregnancy and after delivering the baby.

Sharu who is a mother of two has experienced pregnancy twice and from her experience, she has shared tips for the mothers-to-be. The author has mentioned how women are givers 80% of the time but they should allow themselves to receive at the time of delivery. The Hospital Stay and Newborn Checklist would prepare the readers to care well and be ready for their newborn.

Eating right is very important during pregnancy and after delivering. If you are a mother-to-be, this book would be an insightful read and could prepare you for the delivery day. You would also get to know what to expect during pregnancy. I am glad to get my hands on this book. I am not a mother yet but the knowledge I gained from this book would help me in the future for sure. It’s a good book for light reading. The cover photo is lovely and the language used in the book is lucid. I strongly recommend it to my fellow readers.

Positive Influence

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Positive Influence 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Brian Smith and Mary Griffin ✍️
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Positive Influence written by the authors Brian Smith and Mary Griffin is a must read. As a new leader last year, I made many mistakes and my influence wasn’t always positive. Now while reading this book, I learnt many things that could help me to become a better leader and have a positive influence on others. I agree with the author when he has mentioned that how we compose ourselves has an influence on others. If we aren’t in control of our emotions, we will pass the negative influence on others.

The authors have mentioned various principles like accountability, humility, composure, etc. These principles help us in influencing others. I loved the below lines and would always remember them:

“Being great for yourself first so you can be great for others”.

Many of the tips mentioned in this book are worth knowing. I wish I would have gotten my hands on this book earlier. If you strive to be a good leader and have a positive influence on others, then read this book and apply the knowledge that you receive from it in your life.

Through this book, the authors are guiding readers to be the positive influence. I now aspire to touch many lives with my positive influence. Great work by the authors in this book.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“A Voice, A Soul, A Man Speaks” is an interesting book written by the author Tyra J Robinson Sr. He is a black man living in Baltimore City and navigates his faith, new love and struggles as a single father of three children.

Below lines are from the poem God’s Grace. The author has mentioned how through God’s Grace, he has received everything that he needs.

A Christian searching for love
I’ve done everything wrong on this side of Heaven
Even I at times hate my place
Yet it is only because of God’s Grace
He’s given me all that I need
Whether I deserve it or not His Grace is a blessing
I thank Him much for all He’s done
I even ask for restoration, it’s in His reputation

These poems are relatable. The author has used lucid language in this book so readers could understand it easily. One could read this poetry book in two sittings. Even if you aren’t an avid poetry reader, go ahead with this book.

From the Waiting Room to the Battlefield

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: From the Waiting Room to the Battlefield 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Jodi Nix ✍️
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Recently I got my hands on Jodi Nix’s book “From the Waiting room to the battlefield”. It is a spiritual read that will inspire the readers to believe in Jesus and transform their life for the good.

In this book, the author has shared how Jesus was her guide, strength and peace. Even in difficult times, the author and her husband could walk through life easily because Jesus was leading it. There was a time when Jodi and her family had medical debts on them and they owed hundreds of thousands of dollars. Jodi thought that they couldn’t ever come out of debt. But she became debt free one day.

Jodi’s story is filled with pain and heartache. When she is hurt, she moves through her days through redemption. Jodi has shared about her time of spiritual transformation and how her life changed entirely.

One thing I learned from this book is to trust God and not question him in difficult times. I know it’s difficult but we should level up our faith. Also Jodi teaches us to treat people right even when we are hurt. The daughter of the Highest King learned to love her people well. One could learn a lot from this book. The author has done great work in this book. I am delighted to read Jodi’s journey.

I am grateful to the author for sharing her experiences with us. The book is written well and the pace is also fine. Add it to your tbr without any second thoughts.

Winter Hearts

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Winter Hearts 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Barbara P. McNannie ✍️
.
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Winter Hearts written by the author Barbara P. McNannie is a great read. It is a collection of poems, musings and letters on themes of love, loss, betrayal, friendship, etc.

Some of my favorite poems from the collection are: Mother, Red Roses, Sisters, Empty Words, etc. Below lines are from the poem Mother and would remind the readers to appreciate their mom:

What do you tell
The person that made you,
Molded you from clay,
Shaped your curves and edges?
What do you say
To the one that taught you
How to laugh and dream,
Retreat and spar?
Too many words crowd my mind,
Jostling, fighting for attention.
Is “I love you” enough?

“Have you ever missed someone even before they left?”

I could very well relate to the above lines but sometimes we don’t have the right to stop someone. These poems, musings and letters are relatable and would touch the reader’s heart. I had a great time reading this book while having a coffee. The author has used lucid language so even non-avid readers could follow this book easily.

Those who appreciate musings would enjoy this book for sure. Great work done by the author in this one.

Arc of the Poet

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Arc of the Poet 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Roger Darnell ✍️
.
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Arc of the Poet written by the author Roger Darnell is a poetic memoir. The book begins with the author’s upbringing. He was exposed to poetry early in life as his mother used to write poems. By the age of thirteen, Roger started having ideas about personal values, poetry, writing, etc. Below lines from the poem “Brother” shows Roger’s connection with his brother Scott. It feels good to know that your sibling is there for you no matter how much we fight with each other:

we have somehow fallen short.
Yet, we gather our support
from the confidence we share
simply knowing other’s there.

When Roger was tracing his career path, he was supported and encouraged by his mother, Beth’s mom, step-dad, etc. Very few people get the support of their partner and their family. Roger’s confidence and self-respect was built from the great support he received.

This book teaches us perseverance, being strong, determined, etc in life. It was interesting to know that Roger worked hard and in the summer of 1993, he became a home-owner, husband of his sweetheart Beth Darnell. The writing style of the author is amazing and I appreciate the various life experiences the author has shared in this poetic memoir. The narration is smooth and I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it. This book opens our eyes to the struggles artists face. I had a great time reading Roger’s journey.

Those who love reading poetic memoirs should get their hands on this book for sure.

The Forming of the Diamond

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: The Forming of the Diamond 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Keith H. Adkins ✍️
.
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
The Forming of the Diamond written by the author Keith Adkins is the first installment in the “Jim Caldwell” book series. The story begins in the summer of 1881 in Phoenix, in the middle of the Arizona Territory. The main character of the story is Jim Caldwell. He wanted to make Arizona a better place and gained some followers for his idea. In 1870, Russians invaded the Western part of America.

People had to deal with heavy taxation from Russia and America. Jim’s cousin ‘The Dipper’ also joined him. Major General Sergey Popov, the Russian overlord for Prescott, was frustrated with The Dipper’s popularity. He got him arrested and then hanged him to death. Some of the other followers include: Pedro, Andrés, Jimbo, Johnny, etc and were called ‘The Twelve’. Jim’s popularity increased and the trouble too. He traveled to various places. Will his followers support him or not?

This is an intriguing story that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story is well paced and the narration is smooth so I was able to understand the story easily. The characters are written well by the author and Jim’s character is immediately likable.

Fans of historical fiction shouldn’t miss to get their hands on this book. I am looking forward to reading more books in this series.
