Plan B


What do you do when a shattered dream or an unmet expectation causes you to turn to Plan B? Have you ever been put in that position, where the things you thought were going to happen didn’t and you had to go into a completely other direction. “Plan B” by Pete Wilson uses real life stories as well as biblical stories to help us learn how to surrender our plans and to receive His plans.
Pastor Wilson really opens up the scriptures and shows that there are ways to make it through when things don’t go as planned. This book will meet you where you are and help you out in your current situation. If you have never had to switch to a plan B then you will at some point in your walk as a Christian.
There is no map that leads you down a straight and narrow path. Pete goes through different ways that people have tried to handle those situations that you don’t always see coming. No matter where you are in life, this book is one you will want to read over and over again. Not only has this helped me to see that God can and will be in the Plan B, but that when things go rough and I want to ask “God, where are you?” I know the answer already, He is there and that He is in control. Once you realize that you do not have control and God does then you will realize that all things are possible.

The Money Answer Book



“The Money Answer Book” By Dave Ramsey is an easy to read guide on getting your finances in order. If you have ever asked the question, “Where does all my money go?” Or if you have ever wondered where all your money went when you look at how much you made in a year, then this book is the one for you.
Finances are a huge distraction to living freely each and every day. Finances are also the one subject that people are the most unwilling to talk about. They are considered taboo to most people. You can ask me anything except about my money.
Now this book is not as in depth as the others from Dave Ramsey, however this is a good book to leave on your living room table where guests can read it, or browse through it. Each chapter stands alone so that you don’t have to read the whole book at once.
There are worksheets that you can fill out to help get a better understanding of where YOUR money is going and how you can better have control of your finances.
Having gone through Financial Peace University, this book just serves as a reminder to the principles taught in the class. I would recommend this book to anyone who would a better understanding of their finances.
