One Call Away: Answering Life's Challenges with Unshakable Faith

I really enjoyed readying this book, I was unsure at first as I am not really interested in sports however, it was very insprational.  I will for sure be passing this book on to my friends and family to read

Summary:
The remarkable story of Brenda Warner''s resilient faith in the face of the unpredictable, both before and during her marriage to NFL quarterback Kurt Warner.
Brenda''s life has taken twists and turns that are stranger than fiction. It always seemed as if she was just one phone call away from the next explosive change. Each time her plans fell apart, she had a choice: would she give up, or would she press forward and learn from the unexpected? One Call Away is the inspiring story of a woman who has prevailed through many of the circumstances that discourage women: tragedy, poverty, betrayal, and humiliation. But unlike most women, her life has been on display in the media.
 Brenda''s faith and God''s strength enable her to face challenge after challenge: an accident that leaves her son blind and brain damaged, a crumbling marriage, a tornado that kills her parents, a new relationship with promising football player Kurt Warner, and the pressures his sudden success brings to their growing family.
 Through food stamps and funerals, Super Bowls and serving others, Brenda''s strength is unwavering. Her determination to dream new dreams, willingness to learn from her mistakes, and commitment to giving back to her community make her a role model for women of all backgrounds.
 Her dreams haven''t materialized as she had imagined, but Brenda has found that God has a much bigger plan for her. Conversational and candid, One Call Away invites readers facing their own difficulties to trust God and discover hope in the future.

Review: Stumbling Into Grace By Lisa Harper

Summary:

Humorous yet poignant stories from Lisa''s life help readers relate to spiritual truths found in the life and ministry of Christ.
Stumbling Into Grace is the diary-devotional of one woman''s honest, ongoing, bumbling journey of faith and how she finds encouragement through a deeper understanding of Christ''s time on earth. Within each chapter she alternates her often humorous memoir with stirring portraits of Jesus and his own encounters as recorded in the New Testament.
Both intimately relevant and refreshingly inspirational, this book will help readers to jettison the theological misconceptions, guilt, shame, and hypocrisy they struggle with, exchanging them for a vibrant, passionate relationship with Christ that results in a more abundant, joyful life.

It was a very fun read.  I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank You Booksneeze.
