About the Book:

Gabriel Callahan has lost everything that mattered. All he wants is solitude on an isolated mountain estate. Instead, he gets a neighbor.

First with a dog, next with a renovation project, and, finally, with a night of passion that ends with a surprise.

Now a man still raw from tragedy must face the biggest struggle of his heart. Can he forgive himself and believe in the power of second chances? Dare he trust in the promise of a future and a brand-new family here in Eternity Springs?

Angel's Rest by Emily March (Excerpt)

REVIEW OF MASTER YOUR ACNE BY DEVIN MOOERS

noreply@blogger.com (Eileen (Books R Us)) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:09:00 +0000

I remember growing up with acne and I still suffer from rosacea. Both of my children have had bouts of acne for years. We have tried different cleansers and over the counter creams as well as a few visits to the dermatology with poor results. I thought I knew all about the causes of acne until I read Devin Mooer's book Master your Acne.

About the Book:

This is a thorough, complete, well-thought-out e-guide to curing acne with diet and lifestyle. It wades through all the pseudoscience, distilling the real science into actionable steps people can take to achieve clear skin. The method requires no skin care products, no prescriptions, and no strange “natural” cures (i.e. no oatmeal, cider vinegar, baking soda types of treatments). This is not a “magic bullet” solution, but rather a comprehensive, multi-pronged attack strategy to cure acne. By choosing certain foods and avoiding others, and making sure some key nutrient needs are met, this course empowers readers to take their health into their own hands, and cure their acne once and for all.

My Thoughts:

I know that that there are many causes of acne and I have read many books on the subject. Some were very technical and gave you too much information that may be confusing to some readers. Devon's book is packed of information that well researched and easy to understand. He discusses the truths and myths concerning acne, dietary guidelines, stress reduction, the causes of acne and other interesting topics. I found the clear skin checklist and the master list of food very helpful and summarized the major points discussed in the book. So if you are struggling and frustrated with acne, get a copy of the book. You will not be disappointed and maybe you will learn something new.

Disclaimer: I was given a free copy of the book for my honest review and I was not compensated for my review.

REVIEW OF THE SEER BY MARTHA HARRIS

noreply@blogger.com (Eileen (Books R Us)) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:34:00 +0000

Title: The Seer.

Author: Martha Harris

Publisher: Dorrance Publishing Co.

Publication Date: October 28, 2011

About the Book:

Bobbi Wheeler is a psychiatrist who uses her psychic abilities to help her patients deal with depression and grief. This ability to know her patients' history and inner thoughts through a simple "touch" is the reason behind her successful therapy sessions with satisfied clients.

Bobbi doesn't always view her abilities as a gift, but a curse, because not all of her dreams are pleasant. She saw her grandfather's death in a dream when she was young child and tried to prevent it but couldn't. This started her feelings of helplessness whenever she dreams about dangers involving people she encountered and touched by chance.

While she may know the ways in dealing with emotional pain, she is also somehow battling with her own frailties and inner turmoil, making her long for the ocean and the pleasant things about it to give her peace. It is in one of these trips that she meets Lance Wolfe, a nonbeliever in psychics and a widower who blames himself for the death of his wife in a car accident. His guilt somehow hinders him from loving another woman again. Nonetheless, Bobbi opens his heart once more, but not completely. He seems to have the gift, as it is with him that Bobbi learns she can communicate using thoughts alone and go through someone else's psychic's mind.

In one of her visits to Lance's house in Belford, Bobbi feels like she's been inside a man who gave her the most horrifying nightmare ever. This man who for a time she mistook as one of her patients, Tobias Emerson murders a couple in her dreams. This man has the ability to control minds and although she is able to go inside the dream and prevent him from doing the crime, the man prevails over her and goes ahead with the carnage. After the police get involved, the man has only one thing on his mind killing her.

My Thoughts:

When I started reading the book, I found it hard to get into but I was glad that I decided to continue reading. There were twists and turns that kept me engaged and an ending that will surprise you. The main character, Bobbi, was likeable and very interesting. Bobbi has visions or nightmares that were vivid, descriptive and frightening. Bobbi has a special ability to see a person's inner most thoughts through touch. She sees a new client, Tobias, and feels nothing when she touches him and she realizes that he is very different. There is tension between her love interest, Lance, and their relationship grows as the story unfolds. If you like mystery,romance and the supernatural then you will enjoy the book.

REVIEW OF THE ULTIMATE PRESCRIPTION BY DR. JAMES MARCUM.

noreply@blogger.com (Melissa (Books R Us)) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 01:47:00 +0000

Book Details: The Ultimate Prescription: What the Medical Profession Isn't Telling You.

Author: Dr. James L. Marcum

Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers.
Publication Date: December 16, 2011
Purchase: Amazon

About the Book:

Would you like to discover the powerful ways God is part of the healing process? Do you think the media, the government, or your doctor is telling you the whole truth when it comes to health care? Are you tired of taking medications that really don't fix the problem? In The Ultimate Prescription, Dr. James Marcum, a board-certified cardiologist, in-demand speaker, and radio host, discusses these questions and many more from a biblical point of view. He encourages you to find the real answers about your health—and the health of your loved ones. Dr. Marcum explains what he believes is wrong with our current health care system, how to get back on track, and how the spiritual dimension of our health is often being ignored. Discover today the true path to healthy living in The Ultimate Prescription.

My Thoughts:

After reading the book, I have a new perspective on healthcare as a Christian. The author used the days of creation as described in scripture to show us how to live a healthier and more productive life. The book was easy to read and understand. Dr Marcum used examples from real life patients to show us that many healthcare providers prescribe medications before looking at the underlying cause of the ailment. Eating the wrong type of food, lack of exercise, and increased stress can cause many different physical and emotional problems. Many of us are resistant to change and the author says that we need to change the way we live with the help of the Bible. There may be some readers who may disagree with the author but it is important to keep an open mind and you may learn something new and inspirational.

WIN A E-COPY OF THE BOOK 11/22/63 BY S. KING IN THE READING RALLY (INT)

noreply@blogger.com (Eileen (Books R Us)) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:27:00 +0000

WELCOME TO THE READING RALLY HOSTED BY ROMANCE AT RANDOM.

There are so many blogs participating in the Hop. You will find some nice book related items being given away.

I am offering to one lucky reader a E-copy of the book.....

11/22/63: A Novel by Stephen King in a Kindle or Epub version(Nook).

It may not be a Romance Novel but it is full of excitement.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King’s heart-stopping dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination—a thousand page tour de force.

Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment—a real life moment—when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history.

Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.

Not much later, Jake’s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake’s life—a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.

A tribute to a simpler era and a devastating exercise in escalating suspense, 11/22/63 is Stephen King at his epic best.

Contest ends on 1/31@11:59pm Eastern. (World wide) Winner will be chosen by Rafflecopter and will have 48 hrs to respond to my email or a new winner will be chosen. See rules on Rafflecopter widget. I will be sending the book to the winner through Amazon or Barnes&Noble as a gift.

About the Book:

At a trendy Turkish tavern one Friday night, astrophysicist Gabriel Diaz meets a mysterious young woman. Captivated by her beauty as well as her views on good and evil, he spends the next several days with her. Soon, however, he begins to notice a strangeness in her–her skin’s abnormally high temperature, her obsession with milk products, her child-like and bizarre behavior as she seems to take pleasure in toying with his conscience.

The young woman, Kamilah, invites him to Rize, Turkey, where she claims her family owns a cottage in the woods. In spite of his heavy workload and the disturbing visions and nightmares about his sister’s baby that is due to be born soon, Gabriel agrees to go with her.

But nothing, not even the stunning splendor of the Black Sea, can disguise the horror of her nature. In a place where death dwells and illusion and reality seem as one, Gabriel must now come to terms with his own demons in order to save his sister’s unborn child, and ultimately, his own soul…

REVIEW OF THE DR SEARS ZONE 1-2-3 PROGRAM (GIVEAWAY)

noreply@blogger.com (Eileen (Books R Us)) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:59:00 +0000

Now that the New Year has begun and many of us have made a resolution to lose some weight, let me introduce the Dr Sears Zone 1-2-3 program. I have tried many diets and they just do not work. I have lost weight only to gain back what I lost and more. Thanks to the folks at the Zone diet, I got the opportunity to try the Zone Standard Program.

Weight loss has never been easier. You are eating the foods you like to eat and not feeling hungry between meals. That's the Zone promise. Each ZoneFast™ Weight-Loss Package contains a variety of popular breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack items along with our structured meal planner to help you get acquainted with preparing your Zone meals and put you on the fast track to losing weight. All of the foods contain 14gms of Zone protein that works in your digestive system to tell your brain that you are full. For more information on how the Zone diet works please visit the site.

My Thoughts:

When he package arrived, I was impressed with the look of the food. All of the baked goods had to be refrigerated to prevent spoilage. Each item was individually wrapped. The portions were large and I felt full after eating them. At first, I though that the food was going to taste horrible and bland but it was quite different. The breads, snacks, desserts and snack bars were soft, chewy and delicious. Look at all of the food you get with the standard program. Included was a guide and other useful information to start you in the right direction.

My favorite was the cinnamon buns. I heated them in the microwave and they melted in my mouth. I love pasta and rice and we ate it 2-3 times a week. The Fusilli and Orzo was a great alternative for dinner. I mixed them with some chicken, tomatoes and spices and had a fantastic dinner. I have learned portion control while on the program. I have lost 5 lbs since starting the program after Christmas and overall I feel better. I continue to exercise 3x week and I drink a large amount of water.


BOY DOES THAT LOOK YUMMY!

My kids tried the pizza crust in the white and multi-grain variety when I was at work. They liked the taste of the multi-grain one better. They even took a picture of the pizza before they ate it. I would have not added the pepperoni but they are growing kids and do not have a weight problem. I encourage them to eat healthy whenever possible. It happened to be turkey pepperoni so it was not as bad.

Overall I was impressed with the program, and I recommend that you give it a try. The site has a large recipe collection and educational material to get you started and on track. Every Zone customer is assigned a coach to help you succeed.

CONTEST:

Enter to win the Zone Standard Program ($74.99) so you can try the food for yourself.

Giveaway rules: Those who enter should be first time entrees and live in the USA. Please see rafflecopter for additional rules. Contest ends on 1/25/12 @ 11:59 PM EST.

REVIEW OF ANTI-AGING CURES BY DR. J. FORSYTHE

noreply@blogger.com (Eileen (Books R Us)) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 19:22:00 +0000

Book Details:

Title:Anti-Aging Cures: Life Changing Secrets to Reverse the Effects of Aging
Author: Dr. James Forsythe

Publisher: Vanguard Press
Publication Date: January 3, 2012
Purchase: Amazon|Barnes & Noble.

About the Book:

Are you tired of searching for the fountain of youth? Well, look no more. In this book, Nevada medical oncologist Dr. James Forsythe, one of the world’s leading anti-aging experts, reveals how to slow and even reverse the aging process. Based on meticulously researched clinical evidence, this book provides an account of revolutionary anti-aging treatments that can prevent the health conditions associated with getting old.

The key to youth, good health, and vitality as we age comes from our body’s Master Hormone that naturally produces human growth hormone (HGH ). As we advance in years, the body produces less and less of this vital hormone and we begin to see and feel symptoms of the aging process.

By rejuvenating the Master Hormone gland using a range of safe and natural Bio-Stimulators, as this book shows, we improve the quality and duration of the human lifespan, prevent heart disease and obesity, and maintain optimal health as we mature. The medically documented and proven benefits include: loss of body-fat mass, improved skin texture and tone, improved bone density, improved libido and sleep quality, and much more.

About the Author:

Dr. James Forsythe (born August 11, 1938) is an American author, anti-aging physician, and integrative oncologist specializing in the use of human growth hormone to combat the symptoms of aging. He is a native of Detroit, Michigan. Forsythe is a former associate professor of medicine at the University of Nevada School of Medicine and frequently appears as the featured speaker at conferences of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine International Congress. He founded the Century Wellness Clinic in Reno, Nevada. In 2009, Forsythe was profiled in actress Suzanne Somers’ New York Times best-selling book, Knockout: Interviews With Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer.

My Thoughts:

I have always been fascinated with new scientific theories and breakthroughs. Recently, I have been hearing about the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) on the news and it was featured on the Dr Oz show. I found the book fascinating. The normal aging process, the types of HGH and how it affects the body was explained in a logical and easy to understand way. As a RN, I am very careful on what medications and supplements that I take and I may consider taking the HGH after I do some more research. The author included an extensive bibliography on the benefits and risks of the hormone as it relates to adults.

If you are looking for more information on the subject or just curious this is the book for you. I want to remind you that it is important to check with your health care provider before starting any new medications or treatments because You do not want any problems to occur.

REVIEW OF 30 LESSONS FOR LIVING BY K. PILLEMER PH.D.

noreply@blogger.com (Eileen (Books R Us)) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:06:00 +0000

Book Details:

Title:30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans

Author: K. Pillemer, Ph.D

Genre: Motivational
Publisher: Hudson Street Press
Publication Date: Nivember 10, 2011
Purchase: Amazon|BarnesAndNoble

About the Book:

More than one thousand extraordinary Americans share their stories and the wisdom they have gained on living, loving, and finding happiness.

After a chance encounter with an extraordinary ninety-year-old woman, renowned gerontologist Karl Pillemer began to wonder what older people know about life that the rest of us don't.

His quest led him to interview more than one thousand Americans over the age of sixty-five to seek their counsel on all the big issues- children, marriage, money, career, aging. Their moving stories and uncompromisingly honest answers often surprised him. And he found that he consistently heard advice that pointed to these thirty lessons for living. Here he weaves their personal recollections of difficulties overcome and lives well lived into a timeless book filled with the hard-won advice these older Americans wish someone had given them when they were young.

About the Author:

Karl Pillemer, PhD, is the founder and director of the Cornell Institute for Translational Research on Aging, a center that works to increase public awareness of aging research. Dr. Pillemer has authored more than one hundred scientific publications, and has spoken widely throughout the world on issues of successful aging, family relationships, and elder care.

My Thoughts:

My grandmother passed away at 101 and she always had great stories to tell us about her life and hardships. The book is divided into several sections that discuss marriage, parenting, life, careers, hardships, and life. The book was full of inspiration, advice, and hardships that can help everyone live a more fulfilling life. Growing up I always thought that my parents just wanted to tell me what to do but I learned to realize what they were just guiding me in the right direction. Reading the book reinforced what they taught me. All the information presented was practical, easy to read, and should be read by a young person to give them a perspective on life. I highly recommend the book and it will give you a little insight on life and how to tackle the challenges that it may throw you.

REVIEW OF THE UNCOMMON LIFE DAILY CHALLENGE BY T. DUNGY.

noreply@blogger.com (Eileen (Books R Us)) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:45:00 +0000

Now that the New Year has just begun and many of you have New Year's Resolutions and need motivation to follow them. I want to introduce you to a remarkable book full of inspirational stories, thoughts, quotes and tips for everyday life called The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge by Tony Dungy and N. Whitaker.

About the Book:

Strengthen the core of your life and faith on a year-long journey with beloved Super Bowl–winning former head coach Tony Dungy! The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge contains 365 reflections from the #1 New York Times bestselling author on living an “uncommon life” of integrity, honoring your family and friends, creating a life of real significance and impact, and walking with the Lord. This year, step up to the challenge—and dare to be uncommon every day.

The book focuses on several themes: Core, Family, Friends, Potential, Mission, Influence and Faith. Each theme is repeated every seven days.

About the Authors:

Tony Dungy:

Tony Dungy is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Quiet Strength, Uncommon, and The Mentor Leader. He led the Indianapolis Colts to Super Bowl victory on February 4, 2007, the first such win for an African American head coach. Dungy established another NFL first by becoming the first head coach to lead his teams to the playoffs for ten consecutive years.

He retired from coaching in 2009 and now serves as a studio analyst for NBC's Football Night in America. He and his wife, Lauren, are the parents of seven children.

Nathan Whitaker:

Nathan Whitaker is an attorney who lives in Florida with his wife and two daughters. He graduated from Harvard Law School and has worked in football administration for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His firm currently represents NFL and college coaches.

My Thoughts:

I am not a football fan and I did not even know who the author was until I had the opportunity to read the book. The book is full of inspiration, hope and encouragement to be a better person. Each day begins with a passage of scripture followed by a devotion that includes a story taken from the authors family life or athletic career. I have read many devotionals and have found many of them boring or they do not relate to my life but this book is quite different. Even though I do not follow sports or football, the stories about the sport were very easy to understand and the author was able to relate it to everyday life. The book was easy to read and understand. At the end of each page is a "Uncommon Key" to think about during the day. One of my favorite is on May 22nd and speaks about family. "Spend time with your family and loved ones- for no reason at all but to be there. You will witness miracles you might otherwise miss forever." Boy is that so true. There are times that work always interferes with our family and I have missed so many important events that occurred. So if you need a little motivation to keep your resolutions or just to make your life better this is the book for you. You will not be disappointed.
