I'm not one who reads multiple books at a time, but I'll make an exception for this one. Still reading Chernow's Washington with just under 300 pages to go. I'm working on changing my front yard to all garden. I need all the help I can get.

The title intrigued me. I heard about this book from Sue Becker of Bread Beckers. I already follow the dietary laws of the Scriptures, but it was good to see the medical proof showing the toxicity of "unclean" meats. Eating food as close to its natural state is vital. As a gardener, I found this statement to be an answer to a prayer: " Working and sweating to raise a garden.....is worth your effort." Informative and worth your time.

I've been slowly transitioning my diet. I already eat "kosher". I'm interested in what a medical doctor says in support of this.

When one steps back and understands the Jewishness of Yeshua (Jesus) and his culture, the words He spoke take on a different level of meaning. We cannot separate Him from the Torah and Jewish 2nd temple Judaism. This book shows Him in that light and brings new insight on His teachings. New in the fact that it places them in proper historical and cultural context. An excellent and challenging read.

I'm gonna dive into this #chunkster. 817 pages not counting acknowledgements, notes, bibliography, and index. Might be a while before y'all see me on here again.🤣🤣🤣

Another great volume from Ryan Holiday. I didn't think I had much of an ego until I read this book. Yeah, I have some work to do. It opened my eyes to the realization that even a little ego can be detrimental. This is practical Stoicism and will improve your life. Read it.

Looking ahead to 2024. These are my must reads for the year. That's 10 books I hope to glean much wisdom from.

I want to feel bummed. 2 years in a row I haven't met my challenge. Considering the quality of books I read, I am happy with what I did read. Of course, I spent a lot of time tending my garden. So, all is not terrible. My favorite read this year was Ann Raynd's "Atlas Shrugged". What about you?

More Stoic application. Looking forward to this.

A concise and informative read on the power of journaling. It explains many common journaling techniques and the benefits of each. If you are journaling or considering it, this is a valuable book to have.

It's been an interest. I do some journaling. Let's see what an expert says. I'll take all the help I can.

I wish I had read this sooner.

I give it 4 stars only because it seemed to be a bit overwritten. For me, much of the information could have been summarized instead of fleshed out as deeply as it was.

We are in the 4th turning. Much of what the authors say is possible is proving prophetic. It's scary.

Worth reading.

History is cyclical. This explains the cycle. Looking forward to this.

Many told me this was a sad, dark, and a bleak book. I won't disagree. I also would agree with author Ryan Holiday who calls it the greatest parenting book ever written. That is what struck me deeply. This was a book about fighting for your children. It is about undying love and the strength of the human spirit. McCarthy lights up his dark world with the brightness of love. Excellent read.

I've been warned this book is a must read but will be hard. I look forward to a book that moves me to my soul. Let's see.

I initially thought that this book left me wanting more out of it. I realized that the more I wanted would only be found in me applying the principles in the book. I forgot that philosophy, moreover Stoicism, involves personal responsibilities and action. I can control me and nothing else. I've been given the principles and examples. The rest is up to me. Excellent read.

I subscribe to The Daily Stoic YouTube channel and his newsletter. Stoked to read this.

In this world where children are being bombarded with sex, perverse ideologies, and absent fathers, this book is a cry from the walls for dads to step up and in. We have to engage. We are (outside of the heavenly Father) the role model for their future husbands. We have a direct effect on the course of their life. Be there. Fight for your daughter. Great resource for any dad.

I watched the movie on PureFlix. I cried. I have 3 girls. I'll take all the help I can get!

I can't even begin to review this book. This one has left me in awe of Shackleton and his men. The grit and determination they had to survive and get back home approaches superhuman. No, it goes beyond superhuman. This is a book for the ages. Excellently written using historical documents, crew diaries, and interviews. Stop what you are reading and read this.

I finally decided what to read next. I had 10 choices. Narrowed it to 3. This one kept calling. Ya just have to listen to those inklings.

Nice #birthdaybookhaul. Not 100% where to start. Lots of good here

This was definitely one of the best classics I've read. I'm trying to determine what and how I feel about the story. It definitely impacted me. My mind is turning it over and over. Tragedy of course. Misguided love. Depravity of human nature. Triumph of the soul. All these things. 3 words: I loved it. Read it

Classic. What more needs said? Second time with this one. Let's see how it impacts me at this point in my life. Books like to do that. The words stay the same but our view changes.

Yes. To summarize the book in one quote, "....but in the heart of every man is a desperate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue." I couldn't agree more. This is my second time through this book. It hit home this time through in ways it didn't the first time. Men, read this.

I've read this before. I think it will be different this time. Real men are needed at this point in history. Men with character and heart.

I've always thought philosophy was more out of reach for the common man. All theory and no substance. Then, along came stoicism and proved me wrong. Meditations is about living your life as you should. It's about doing. My favorite quote: You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think. Read this book. I'll be reading it again...soon.

A bit of Stoicism. Should be... interesting.

A short, hard hitting book of motivation to do the work. We all battle "Resistance". Our job, no matter what endeavors, is to do the work. It's a battle. Our biggest fear is the fear of success. That hit me. This is a book for the ages. Read it.

Because sometimes you need someone to help you get moving, stay moving, and cross the finish line.

This book is exactly what it says. Inside are 21 actionable steps anyone can take to get done what needs to be done. There is a lot of value contained within this short book. Another one that should be read often. I've started a few of the ideas outlined. Get it and eat that frog!!

This intrigues me. I need "time management" in my busy life. This looks to be a book of actionable steps, not theory.

Why did this sit so long on my shelf? I do not know. This is a book that needs to be on the "Read Every Year" list. More than worth the time to read.

Been on my shelf a while. Time to read it!!!

Rory Vaden takes "time management" one step further into time MULTIPLICATION. It is about creating margin in our lives through doing the significant tasks and giving ourselves permission to do the things that matter. Although written from a mainly business standpoint, the final parges drive home that this is also easily applicable to our lives. Excellent and profound.

Here's to managing time and priorities

An excellent guide to YouTube from two creators with over 2 decades of experience combined. This book will jump start any intention of starting a channel you may have. It will show you the ins and outs, help discover your why, and give the tools and desire to start a channel. An informative, well written, and motivational book.

The last 30 or so pages of this book were the most impactful on me. Hesed is a difficult term to define but is central to God's character and ours. Hesed is more easily defined in action than in words.

I've watched a lot of videos from Sean Cannell's Think Media and Think Podcast. His personal story is amazing. I'm looking forward to this education.

An excellent range of reading for Father's Day gifts. YouTube Secrets will be the first

This book is full of great insight to a different mindset than most of us likely have. Wealth is not necessarily the big mansions and multiple vacation homes. It is more of a freedom to live how you want and not for those who take the money you worked for. This is a book well worth reading and reading again.

I've heard Kiyosaki's name a lot in economic talk and news. I figured his book would be worth reading. I am hoping for some inspiration and wisdom for some financial change however large or small itay be.

One of my favorite Louis L'Amour books. A story not so much about the push West, but of finding one's self in the trials of life. L'Amour never disappoints.

There are those in modern Christianity who teach God brutalized and murdered His own Son on the cross. This book takes that premise and shows it for the heresy it is. Dr. Bar lays out an excellent and Scriptural argument against this. This book is an eye opener to who killed the Messiah and why it was allowed to happen. (Tagged is not this book)

Taking a break from my gardening books. It's been years since I read this. I always list it as a favorite by L'Amour

Informative and easy to read. She makes herbalism seem easily attainable. Beautiful color photographs highlight each herb she discusses. Excellent to have on your shelf

I was feeling a little overwhelmed with gardening info. I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this coming off of an organic gardening guide. I put it by my bed and grabbed it at 2 this morning as I got up for work. I started reading it while on my porcelain chair and determined I would read it. I know...TMI.😁

This was an enjoyable read. I'd say it is akin to sitting down with your grandad to learn gardening. Full of good information on the basics of getting started. If you like organic gardening, this is a good book to have.

Not the tagged. This looks extremely interesting.
