I'm currently reading In a Heartbeat by LeighAnn and Sean Tuohy. They are the couple that the movie Blindside was about. It's been a great read so far. I love the way they take turns writing a chapter. Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock even contributed a chapter. It's great to get the "facts" and they wholly acknowledge the Hollywood lattitude taken by the director. The book is a great insight to a healthy couple and vibrant family who only want to make a difference in people's lives. I know that I will definitely pass this one around to friends and family. Thank you Tuohys for sharing your hearts with us.
I just bought Eat, Pray, Love (I know I'm probably the ONLY person who hasn't read it). I want to read it before I see the movie. Hopefully, all that will happen in the next 2 weeks.
I'll let you know what I think about the E, P, L book. Please comment if you've read either of these titles.

Think and Make It Happen
Dr. Augusto Cury's book 'Think and Make It Happen' started out as a difficult read for me. I just couldn't seem to connect to the content. But, suddenly by the 2nd chapter, I was engrossed. His explanations and applications were right on target for my life. Dr. Cury shares simple principles by using Jesus Christ as the primary example. He shows everyday applications for the parent, educator, business executive, and spouse. There are questions at the end of each chapter for further self examination as well as small group discussions. An excellent appendix is also included with guidelines for a small group leader. So many wonderful insights about becoming an authentic person with the people in our lives are demonstrated through powerful engaging stories of real people. Dr. Cury holds Jesus up as the example of grace shown to others, being authentic when others ridicule, and most importantly forgiving those that have not been all that we wanted or needed them to be. It's a great read and a tremendous resource that one can refer to for guidance and practical advice to discover the true potential in both self and others.
