The Final Summit by Andy Andrews


About the author:
Andy Andrews has become one of America's most influential people. He is a best-selling author and an in demand speaker. He has been invited to speak by four presidents and at military bases worldwide.
He lives in Orange Beach Alabama with his wife Polly and their two sons.

Synopsis:
Andy Andrews has done it again! He has written another book that is a real page turner. In this sequel to the Traveler’s Gift we are again introduced to David Ponder. Ponder is now 74 years old, his wife, Ellen, has died and he is now alone.
Just as he thinks his life has sunk to its lowest point he is contacted by Gabriel, the Archangel. He is needed to lead “The Final Summit” to save humanity. Together with the help of fellow travelers Anne Frank, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Joshua Chamberlain, and hundreds of other travelers, he must come up with the one solution to save mankind. Time is running out and the solution must be found quickly to avoid the catastrophe that will befall humanity.
In this book, as well as its predecessor The Traveler’s Gift, Andrews explores the principles that some of our greatest leaders have used on their way to success. I highly recommend this book.
I received a copy of The Final of the Summit from BookSneeze in exand change for an open and honest review. The opinions in this review are solely mine.

We Be Big by Rick Burgess and Bill "Bubba" Bussey

 

About the Authors:
Rick Burgess and Bubba Burgess call themselves the two sexiest fat man alive.  Their radio show is a down-to-earth conversation with the listeners.  Together they have written several books, including:

The Rick and Bubba Code.
Rick and Bubba for President.
Rick and Bubba's guide to the most nearly perfect marriage.
Rick and Bubba's Expert Guide to God, Country, Family and Anything Else We Can Think Of.

They are not ashamed to talk about their faith in God, on the air.

Synopsis:
I have not heard the Rick and Bubba show but have read some of their books.  It is a pleasure to meet someone with my own sense of humor.
Reading about their struggles and trials in their climb to be the best at what they do reinforces my belief that God has a plan for us all and will put us in the right place at the right time in order to fulfill the plan.  I found it very refreshing to read about their faith and reliance on God in all situations.  I hope they do not stop sharing their faith with their listeners.
When I read about Rick and Sherry's child, Bronner's death, I cried for their loss.  Still, they do not lose their made and praised God through their grief.
I can honestly say that this book made me laugh and cry.  I want to thank Thomas Nelson, for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.  Although I received a complimentary copy of this book.  the opinions expressed here are mine.
