When Iola Anne Poole, an old-timer on Hatteras Island, passes away in her bed at ninety-one, the struggling young mother in her rental cottage, Tandi Jo Reese, finds herself charged with the task of cleaning out the rambling Victorian house. Running from a messy, dangerous past, Tandi never expects to find more than a temporary hiding place within Iola's walls, but everything changes with the discovery of eighty-one carefully decorated prayer boxes, one for each year, dating from Iola's youth to her last days.

I do not buy many fiction books but this book held my interest from beginning to end. There were times when I knew where the story was headed but it did not ruin it for me at all. I would recommend this book.

While Clint Harp is now known as Chip and Joanna Gaines’s go-to table maker on Fixer Upper and a nationally acclaimed artisan, his life has not always been the DIY dream we see on the show. Ten years ago, he played the role of what he thought was a good husband, father, and provider, dutifully working at a sales job that came with a healthy paycheck. Yet he kept coming back to his unfilled dream of building furniture. With the support of his wife, the encouragement of a mentor, and a life full of lessons, he finally took the leap, quit his job and set out on a quest to become a carpenter.

Great book! Very inspiring!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Clint’s story was nothing like I would have imagined. He is a brave man in many ways, although I don’t think he sees himself that way, and his wife Kelly is an amazing woman for walking beside him in his dreams. May God bless them, their marriage, and their families!

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves - and the world - for the better.

Excellent Story and Advice

This book has many incredible and moving true stories in it, but more importantly a message everyone can apply to their life. I'm grateful to William H McRaven for sharing his life lessons in a way that I can apply them to myself.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,771
In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven’t changed.

Very Informative
Reviewed: 03-31-17
This book is very informative about our health and how diet (what we eat) affects it. This book is not entertaining, instead it is filled with facts about food and its affects on our overall health. The author talks about how we can stay well and even reverse illnesses we already have by eating the proper diet. This book has confirmed a lot of my beliefs and opened my eyes to things I never considered. I'm in the process of changing my diet to get on board with his recommendations. Very grateful I ran across this book. I'm also in the process of reading "The China Study" that was written by the same author.

Loved this book. More than I expected.
Reviewed: 11-18-16
I loved this book. iI is not just the story of their life but a story of how to do life. I'm not sure if that was their objective but it was inspiring to me. I admire them not as much for what they accomplish but how they handled life's ups and downs. These are people I can respect and a rare breed. I hope God continues to bless their journey. He is truly an awesome God! I highly recommend this book.

I enjoy this bible because it's read without sound effects or background music. I've had it for a few years now and listen to it over and over.

If you could sum up Jimmy Stewart - Radio Collection in three words, what would they be?
It's Very Enjoyable
What did you like best about this story?
The fact that I was able to visualize the story as I listened. It captured my imagination, which is quite a feat!
Which character – as performed by Jimmy Stewart – was your favorite?
I've only listened to two of the stories so far so it's too early to pick a favorite.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, because there are several stories on it so it's quite lengthy.
Any additional comments?
I'm a huge fan of Jimmy Stewart. I think anyone who loves Jimmy Stewart will enjoy listening to this radio collection.
