Powerful and Portable

This book is a gem - if you are looking for something powerfully potent but portable and short. Each of the 90 day's devotionals are a very quick read but relevant and impactful - drawing on examples from sports to Dr. Seuss to Bob Dylan, including a scripture reference and suggested reading for the day. Would recommend this for yourself or as a gift to a special man in your life whose faith you want to see grow. An advance copy was provided to me from the publisher through NetGalley without any commitment of a favorable review.

With friends like these... yeah, friend, right!

This case - and this boook - is a gift for true crime afficiandos. As much as I am one, somehow I missed this case when it happened. Maybe that was good though because reading this book made it as much a page turner as a great mystery by any favorite writer. It kept me engaged and feeling as sorry for the the husband charged as stunned as how the true perpetrator, the "friend" could be ultimately seen as responsible - and then equally angered by how the prosecutor and judge handled the case with inadmissability of crucial evidence. Even if you know this case - and by now most reading this will because of the current mini-series "The Thing About Pam" - you will be drawn in to the details in the book and the recounting of the story. Your heart will break even more for the family that lost their wife and mother and the totally innocent victim years later who had nothing to do with any part of the original crime. An advance copy of Bone Deep was made possible through NetGalley without any obligation or comittment for a supportive or positive review.

So many models...

This book came highly touted and is chocked full of specific topics so I was very excited about reading it as a supervisor in coaching my team. It was written in such a textbook fashion that, at least for me, made it less accessible. My favorite part was actually the analysis of the NFL's Aaron Rogers' career. I will say that it is full of specific detailed examples and explores 14 unique management models. If you are looking for a work that dives so deep into such models, then this book is perfect. It is well written and displays extensive experience in command of the management models. I was provided an advance copy through NetGalley without any obligation of positive review comments.
