Ordering Your Private World by Gordan MacDonald

I have never read any books by Gordan MacDonald until I was given the chance to review Ordering Your Private World.  I am embarrassed to say I kept putting off reading this book because I was so busy.  I am tired when I get home from work and want to shut my mind off.  When I did start reading the book, it definitely struck a chord with me.  I find myself getting so tied up in the busy-ness of life that I let things that should be priorities slip by. 

The book will make you look at yourself and your priorities.  I especially like the study guide included.  It will help you put things in focus and in practice.  This is really a great book for everyone.  I do not know anyone who does not wish they had more time or just plain busy. 

For full disclosure, I received a free copy of Ordering Your Private World from Handlebar Marketing in exchange for my honest review.  All opinions are my own.  

The Awakening of HK Derryberry

The Awakening of HK Derryberry is one of the most heartwarming books I have ever read.  I found myself staying up way later than I should reading it to see what kind of adventures Jim and HK were going on next. 

HK is truly a remarkable person.  He never let his disabilities get him down.  That really challenged me when I am complaining.  I feel like I know him personally from the wonderful way Jim wrote the book.  It is very conversational and that made it very easy to read. 

I loved reading the evolution of Jim and HK’s unlikely friendship.  From the Saturday mornings at Mrs. Winner’s to going on trips together.   I imagine Jim had no idea of the direction his life would take after that coffee stop at Mrs. Winner’s. 

Definitely pick up this book if you want to be uplifted, and challenge yourself to see the world as HK does.
