Secrets of an Irresistible Woman

I was skeptical when my sister in law and dearest friend gave me this book. I thought to myself that I am very much aware of my identity as a woman in Christ that I don't need to know the "secrets" to capturing a man's heart. I am complete now that God wants me to be entirely His and it would be a bonus if it is His will to share me with a man who will be the physical manifestation of His love for me here on earth. And so this book sat on my shelf for a couple of years until I finally decided to read it. What made me? I needed biblical answers and real life stories apart from those of mine to share to the women whom God brought into my life. They needed answers and at times I find myself at a loss.

Never judge a book by its cover or its title for this matter. I was so wrong about this book!

The tone of the author was very straightforward, witty and oftentimes funny. Reading this book was like reading my diary. Everything I have ever felt, done and gone through within the context of "love" in the past was reflected in the pages of this book. But the most important thing I've acquired through my reading experience is this: I felt loved and valued by the only man who could ever unconditionally love me - Jesus.

Michelle McKinney Hammond will not only teach you how to capture God's best for you but most importantly, to also embrace life and live it to the fullest, whatever season you are in.

Praise Him Who Orchestrates

From an outsider's perspective, my professional life revolves around the highly coveted (by quack nutritionists and dietitian wannabes) practice of being a nutrition, health and wellness expert. Made even more exciting by the myriad of interesting people I get to meet in my office, my client's corporate offices, as well as, the lectures and media launches and appearances I engage in. A career that is not only financially rewarding but delicate and dynamically impacting the lives of people in many ways. Little do people know about my life as an online English teacher which commenced in 2013 and concluded in 2018. A humbling experience that has taught me so much about the Japanese culture and how it is to truly work for something that does not entail much monetary compensation. Half an hour or two, sometimes more hours, several days in a month was all it took to give me that sense of pride in witnessing my students, who could barely speak a word of English during our first les...

The Cosy Tea Shop in the Castle

Author: Caroline Roberts The setting was perfect. As you read through this chicklit's pages, you will be transported to a charming castle that is falling apart. The entire novel will surely evoke cravings for the sweet tooth. It was an entertaining read up until the author seemingly decided to try her luck in writing a steamy novel which turned out to be a total disaster. The descriptive sex scenes were unnecessary in the story plot, not to mention how badly they were written. I had to browse through the pages quickly. Finally, as if the author wanted to reward her readers for enduring those cringe-worthy pages, you will find something at the end of this book that will be useful in your kitchen.

Pensive Ponderings

35 years have passed. Oh how time flies. I was once a little girl who loved to read books, play the piano and play "house" with my Barbie dolls. Then I became an adolescent who was preoccupied with studying to finish college, romance and fashion. I was a shopaholic. And then I had to "grow up" and deal with responsibilities, businesses and everything it takes to build a career. I've had my ups and downs. Life was not perfect but I wouldn't have it any other way. It took a lot of painful disciplining and pruning to make me realize that at the end of the day, my relationship with God is all that matters in this world. That my family is a gift from God and they should always come first next to God. That it is both a privilege and joy to be enabled by the Holy Spirit to have a career and work. That my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and for that very reason, I should take good care of it. That it is God who gives me the ability to produce weal...
