Someone once wisely said, “Find something you enjoy doing and you won’t work another day of your life”. In his book “The Cure for the Common Life” Max Lucado is here to help each of us to discover our “sweet spot” – that spot wherein lies our greatest strength. Our everyday life and living for God’s glory intersect and give us that special feeling.
It is easy to read and understood and caught me from page 1. It has helped me to no longer feel bad for the things I can’t do, but rather to thank the Lord for what I can do and find where and how I can apply and use it – to give Him glory and fulfillment for life! And not only that, but it has renewed in me the conviction of not settling for the common, but as Paul says, “to press towards to mark for the prize of the high calling of God”.
I have a feeling this book is going to be one I will reread and refer to quite often.

Unsinkable
Unskinkable tells the true story of sixteen-year-old Abby Sunderland and her remarkable attempt at becoming the youngest person ever to sail solo around the world.
Abby Sunderland comes from a family of sailors and adventurers and at the age of 13 discovered her dream of sailing solo around the world and went out to accomplish her dream in 2010.
You will join in on her story prior to her departure and through her account travel with her through her journey and adventures at sea and her dramatic rescue in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
The book is fun and entertaining. And while it’s not exactly my type of book, I can say that I enjoyed reading it, appreciating the challenges it takes to set and accomplish a goal and ride the up and down waves of faith, faith and desperation and come through to tell the take. I admire her courage and ambition in this true, real life story that tells not only what was happening to her along the way, but also goes back and forth to what was going on with her family, in the media and the world overall as the different events unfolded.
