First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Tony Evans and his publisher for sending me a copy of "Pathways" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me. “Pathways” by Tony Evans is an inspiring and encouraging read.   Dr. Evans serves as a guide through the pages of the Old Testament book of Esther, revealing God where His name is never mentioned.   He teaches that every life has a purpose and seemingly random events work together to bring that purpose to fruition.   This book was a great reminder that there are no such things as coincidences!

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Pat Williams and his publisher for sending me a copy of "Character Carved in Stone" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me. “Character Carved in Stone” by Pat Williams is a moving, entertaining and motivational read.  I originally requested this book for review because I grew up in the area of upstate New York near West Point.  I love reading books that transport me to my childhood home.  And this book blessed me with many stories about integrity and leadership from the worlds of sports and military service. Written by Pat Williams, Senior Vice President of NBA Basketball’s Orlando Magic, “Character Carved in Stone” focuses on twelve characteristics of leadership taught at West Point…twelve characteristics lived by great leaders…twelve characteristics carved into benches of pink marble locate...
