Book Review: "The Truth About Love, Dating and Just Being Friends" by Chad Eastham
I really, really, loved this book! I only have good things to say about it! Probably because I'm a teenager and a book like this is perfect for me! Chad is hilarious! He has a great perspective on teenage outlook, he uses letters and personal emails from teens that wrote into him in his book. Also he does not come off too strong in his tone in this book. He is a great author over all and i deffinitley reccomend his books in the future for teens. Espiecially this one. The book overall was geared toward teenage girls, another plus for me:) But I'm sure even boys could get something out of it. Very great book! I hope you enjoy it!

Book Review: "The Shelter of God's Promises" by Sheila Walsh
"The Shelter of God's Promises" by Sheila Walsh is your average Christian encouragement book. Walsh goes through ten different subjects that God has made promises through the scriptures about. The undertone of the book is basically trusting God through all different stages and problems in your life. I recommend this book for anyone in need of some spiritual encouragement.
This book was hard for me to get into in the beginning. I did not read strait through but skipped around to different topics most relevant in my life. It's a good book for that too. The book did seem to get a little repetitive... Although it was different topics I felt like it all came down to whether you have enough faith to trust God to keep his promises.
I did love Walsh’s style of writing, however. It reminded me a lot of Stasi Eldridge and how she writes in her book “Captivating”. She has many subchapters within her chapters. Walsh also makes many personal references throughout the book to her immediate family and her Scottish roots. I like that she does that, it gives you a snapshot of what these different things meant to her while she was writing them. Over all an alright book!
