Mind Your Own Mortgage

I read "Mind Your Own Mortgage" by Robert J. Bernabe and now I'm scared half to death. I always assumed the mortgage broker had my best interest in mind and since I don't have half a clue when it comes to money I happily was led around. How much money have I lost? I hate to even think about it. This book has made me rethink everything and I can promise you this - life from here on out will be different in terms of my mortgage. The only downfall with this book is that it is american and I live in Canada so I'm going to have to do more research to see if all that Mr Bernabe taught applies. Either way this book was definitely worth my time. I thought I'd be plodding along half asleep reading a book on mortgages but it was very readable. In fact I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.

Storm Warnings Review

Storm Warnings by Billy Graham reminded me of sitting in church and listening to a preacher you've grown up with. You are forever checking your watch and thinking "can it only be that 10 minutes has past?" and yet you know that you know more afterwards then you did before. This book wasn't at all what I was expecting. I thought Storm Warnings was going to point out recent world events and show how they fit into biblical prophecies. Instead Mr. Graham pointed out different world schools of thoughts and shifts in trends on a far more general basis. A number of the chapters definitely made me think and wonder what I could be doing to better help my fellow man as well as encouraged me to take a good hard look at my own heart. I would recommend this book to new christians as well as people who are searching for spiritual answers as Mr. Graham does what he does best. He hammers home the most important question of all - What are you going to do about Jesus?
