Title: Living With Confidence In A Chaotic World: What on earth should we do now?
Author: Dr. David Jeremiah, © 2009, Thomas Nelson, Nashville, Tennessee
In a world where everything is increasingly unstable and undependable, this book offers much needed refreshment and comfort. Fear is devastatingly rampant in today’s life and we all could use some tips on how to live with confidence.
By discussing such qualities as being calm and consistently committed to a good cause, and having productive disciplines not just for self but for others too, Dr. David Jeremiah inspires confidence in each chapter – confidence that can only be derived from God’s word and a deep relationship with Him.
I found this particularly profound:
“The Word of God is a Book that builds. When you feel torn down by all that is happening in this world, you’ll find so much strength and encouragement in the bible….God speaks through this book He takes its inspired words and applies them to your life so that you feel a ray of hope in the darkening gloom. It’s a difference maker. But don’t make the mistake of believing a weekly sermon, a book like this one will make this happen for you. It’s important that you delve deeply into the Word yourself.”
As I read this masterpiece, I paused several times, making prayers to God as I meditated, and I’m sure I’m a better person after reading this book, and definitely more confident!

Title: The Butterfly Effect
Author: Andy Andrews, © 2009, Thomas Nelson, Nashville, Tennesse
This book is a great motivational piece. Andy Andrews answers the question of the significance of life in a remarkable way, basing his thought on a theory that Edward Lorenz’s presented as a hypothesis to the New York Academy of Science in 1963. Andrews uses this fascinating theory to assert that our actions and choices have a great impact in life. His writing gives proof that every single thing we do matters and that a ripple effect is able to carry on the impact of what we do into generations in the future. This book inspires courage and initiative and persuades the reader that there is more to life than just here and now. It prompts the reader to examine self and to see whether a purposeful life is exemplified therein.
