It's All A Conspiracy - Book Review

UFOs, JFK, and Elvis: Conspiracies You Don't Have to Be Crazy to Believe

A great read. I just picked this up at the local library and thouroughly enjoyed each page.
Belzer is a good writer and does acerbic wit with the best of them.
There is a lot of information in this book that will get you to thinking about what the government really wants us to know.
We already knew that Lee Harvey was a patsy, but Belzer puts out some info that may not have been in the full public view.
I heartily reccommend this one to read, but as Belzer says, don't use a credit card to buy it (think Mel Gibson's "Conspiracy Theory").

Book Review

Soulprint: Discovering Your Divine Destiny by Mark Batterson

My copy of Mark Batterson’s “Soulprint: Discovering Your Divine destiny” was provided to me by Blogging For Books/WaterBrookMultnomah Press.
“Soulprint” is the first book by Pastor Mark Batterson that I have read.
The book opens with the statement, "there has never been and never will be anyone else like you. But that isn't a testament to you. It's a testament to God who created you... You owe it to yourself to be yourself. But more important, you owe it to the One who designed you and destined you."
The author fleshes out this opening by using periods from both his and King David’s life to make the point that we each have a God imprinted calling for our life.
The comparisons to King David’s life were refreshing and give one pause for reflection.
To be honest, I had a difficult time engaging in this book. While there are definitely “nuggets” that I found in it, for the most part it was a difficult read for me.
I plan to re-read this book at a later date to try and glean more from its pages.
