Wonderful book for helping me identify the giants in my life
Goliath Must Fall: Winning the Battle Against Your Giants
By: Louie Giglio
Rating: 5 of 5
There was something about the title of this book, “Goliath Must Fall” that grabbed my attention as a book I must read. I questioned the word “must”, after all, Goliath did fall, but why “must” he?
I began the book with my own opinion of who my Goliath was and what needed to be done to make him fall. After Louie’s explanation of who and what are giants are made of, I realized that I was wrong.
The Goliath that I thought was my own turned out to be a symptom of many other giants that have been holding sway in my life. Fear, anger, control and even comfort have their hold on me. It took reading this book, with Louie’s examples of situations for me to be able to see my giants with new eyes. His explanation that David was Jesus and me also showed me who had slain my giants at the cross, that my thoughts and actions were what were still propping them up and that it was past time for me to finally let them fall.

30 Unusual and Interesting Fairies designs – printed on one side of the page
Fairies in Bloom: A Fairy & Flower Coloring Book!
By: Kimbery Van Rossum
Rating: 5 of 5
This is an unusual coloring book of fairy designs. The fairies are quite lovely but what is unusual is the use of heavy bold lines and the many dots that make up the shading on each of the designs. It gives the illustration the look of pointillism which is quite different from other books that I have. The results is not only unusual and interest but also quite beautiful as well.
The designs are detailed and some of the designs have intricate and small areas to color. I do suggest the use of a liquid blender with these designs as the heavy black lines and the dots have a tendency (due to the thin quality of CreateSpace books) to smear with a pencil blending stick.
