Max On Life
On 6/26 Julie Morrison wrote: Max on Life, by Max Lucado How great would it be to sit down with Max Lucado and ask the tough questions about life, and get his take? Initially, I thought the book would be for people new in their faith walk, or new Christians who hadn’t gotten around to translating the Bible into practical steps ...

The Power-Based Life
On 1/31 Julie Morrison wrote: As I read through the table of contents to The Power Based Life by Mike Flynt, each one of the chapter headings seemed more interesting than the first. I was surprised by the first one, that talked about playing to your strengths. How different my life could have been if I had known that was even acceptable. ... The Power Based Life
Outlive Your Life
On 9/12 Julie Morrison wrote: I got Max Lucado’s newest release based on the title alone. Out Live Your Life sounded like the Prayer of Jabez meets Matthew 24, a great premise. One page into the book, I knew I was not going to be disappointed. If we only get one shot at this, how would we like to be remembered? For what we did? ... Are You Going to Out Live Your Life?
The Butterfly Effect

Kaleidoscope
On 3/25 Julie Morrison wrote: I once attended a Women of Faith gathering and was introduced, along with thousands of other women, to the spiritual firecracker, Patsy Clairmont. She reminded me of a tiny semi-grouchy neighbor who throws out one liners and comes off more comical than cantankerous and leaves you with a bit of wisdom ... Do You Know Patsy?
Where is God?
On 2/9 Julie Morrison wrote: Do you believe in God? Maybe you doubt God. Maybe you've wondered why God lets evil co-exist with good in the world? Have you walked away from God?

Jesus Lives
On 12/12 Julie Morrison wrote: I remember the day my husband and I got married. The most touching part of the ceremony was his recitation of his promises to me. I knew in my heart that he loved me. It wouldn’t have had the same feeling if the preacher had said the promises for my husband. I needed to hear them directly from him.If ... Five Stars for Jesus Lives
Fearless
On 9/8 Julie Morrison wrote: "Fearless" by Max Lucado couldn't have arrived at a better time. Recent layoffs at work had me stressed-out. When they continued week after week, my nerves became as tension filled as violin strings, I was unable to eat, sleep or focus. Then I got a copy of "Fearless". One page into the book it seemed ... Just in Time
Jesus Calling
On 5/31 Julie Morrison wrote: Jesus Calling by Sarah YoungWhat if Jesus could pick up the phone and call you? What would He say? Jesus Calling is a daily devotional like nothing I’ve read before. Each message feels like a personal phone call from our Lord. Each page reaches into a place that is desert thirsty for encouragement, ... Hello? Who's this?
The Noticer

Imagine if you were going through a divorce, homeless, down on your luck or ready to file bankruptcy. Times like that you could really use a good friend, right? Someone who could lend ... Jones aka The Noticer
This Is Your Brain On Joy
On 4/3 Julie Morrison wrote: This is Your Brain on Joy by Dr. Henslin was an extremely informative read. It’s written in terms that a parent without a medical education can understand. Interspersed throughout many of the chapters were photographs of various brains in different states. This helped me to see the profound impact ... This is Your Brain on Joy
Same Kind of Different As Me
On 3/3 Julie Morrison wrote: As I read Same Kind of Different as Me, it didn't occur to me for a little while that it was two different men telling their very different sides of stories, one a wildly successful white art dealer and a homeless Black man. The story was better for having told it this way because it felt like a much ... Do You Catch to Release?
The Great Eight
On 2/17 Julie Morrison wrote: If the cliche is true that you can't keep a good man down, then I hope Scott Hamilton's lessons will inspire a new generation to become like minded in their pursuit of happiness. "The Great Eight" contains a linear chronicle of encouraging and uplifting true stories from Scott's life, that depict the ... Like A World Class Champion
Think and Make It Happen
On 1/20 Julie Morrison wrote: From the first word of his book, Dr. Augusto Cury encourages embracing and directing that complex organism—our brain.
