The Six of Us

As a social worker I thought this book would be more about how to help people who are dealing with eating disorders.  However, it was more of a self help book.  I do not have an eating disorder so I felt the book was not really directed for me.  However, I am an emotional eater.  The book made me take a look at how and why I eat.  The book was not written really great although it did make some good points.  The book had "homework" for people which made be helpful for some of my clients who are struggling with an eating disorder.  Not a horrible book just not for me.  Book review for: Hope, Help and Healing for Eating Disorders by Gregory L Jantz

Churched is a book by Matthew Paul Turner.  Matthew writes about growing up in a Fundamentalist Baptist home.  Attending a private Baptist school and having a very isolated bringing up.  I liked this book  I liked that he was so opened.  He spoke about being a normal child in a not so normal home.  Mr. Turner hit some points that I have struggled with.  His openness has made me want to be more open with my struggles.  As Mr. Turner graduates high school he continues to want to relate to Jesus but to do it on his terms.  This book is slow at points but it is an easy read and light heated.
