Title: Dave and Me  Author: Rusty Austin  Rating: 5/5 Very few books manage to hook readers from the very first page, and Rusty Austin’s Dave and Me is one of them. In the “Lightning Golf” chapter, the author recounts a memorable outing with his best friend Dave, when they decide to play golf on a stormy day along with Dave’s wildly unpredictable girlfriend. As thunder looms overhead, Rusty’s fear of being struck by lightning adds tension and humor to the scene. But does lightning actually strike? Throughout the book, Austin masterfully captures the rhythm of real conversations and the unpredictability of everyday life. The stories feel deeply personal. As you read, you may even find yourself reflecting on your own friendships. Austin’s ability to laugh at himself and those around him builds an instant sense of trust with the reader. Anyone who enjoys humor-driven storytelling will thoroughly enjoy this book. I was particularly impressed by the author’s sharp wit. ...

 A Pure Heart with No Boundaries  By Shechinahglory Tucker This book spoke to my heart in ways I didn’t expect. A Pure Heart with No Boundaries is raw, emotional, and deeply reflective. Shechinahglory Tucker doesn’t shy away from the hard truths: abandonment, toxic relationships, spiritual confusion, and the struggle to put yourself first without guilt. What stood out most was the balance between vulnerability and spiritual wisdom. The author’s reflections on inner child healing, shadow self-work, and God’s voice in unexpected places feel incredibly authentic.  The workbook sections and reflection questions make this book perfect for readers who want more than inspiration; they want transformation. This is a book you don’t rush through, you sit with it, journal alongside it, and let it work on you. A must-read for anyone on a faith-based healing journey. Rating: 5/5 🌟
