Life today is scary, complicated, and hard to get right. So much
conflicting information is at our fingertips, and society shows the results
of everyone choosing their own version of “good.”

This year-long daily devotional doesn’t just talk about God; it takes us
directly to God and His inspired words in the Bible. Many think the Bible is
archaic and out of touch with life today. But you will discover in these
devotionals that the Bible is a great read, full of real people in real time
navigating real situations.

The Bible uncovers God’s heart for us. He has given us tools and strength
for our lives today. The Bible reveals God’s patience and perspective. Most
importantly, it leads us to Jesus, God’s Son, and the plan that reconciled
broken, imperfect people to God. Because Jesus paid the penalty for our
wrong choices, we can live confidently-loved, empowered, and forgiven by
God. Life today is scary, complicated, and hard to get right. So much
conflicting information is at our fingertips, and society shows the results
of everyone choosing their own version of “good.”

 

Review

This is an easy, interesting, and thought provoking book that I recommend to anyone.
I like this study as it’s quick and easy but informative. I am able to do a more detailed BSF study along with it!

The Misadventures of a Ukrainian Orphan

Memoir, Autobiography

Date Published: March 10, 2022

Be Inspired with This True Story About a Ukrainian Orphan That Did Whatever
He Could to Chase His Dreams – Discover That Even When Life Stacks Its Deck
Against You, You Can Still Reach Your Dreams

There’s nothing better in this life than finding your true self and being
in touch with who you indeed are. But sometimes, life can beat us down and
leave us without the will or power to find ourselves and live as we are
truly meant to be.

In such situations, we have two options: to either let our circumstances
define us or persevere and fight beyond that unbearable state until we reach
where we desire to. Vitaly Magidov chose the latter option. Vitaly’s
touching autobiography highlights the struggles, hardships, accomplishments,
and wins that he went through until he became the proficient man he is
today.

Vitaly was orphaned right after birth when his mother left him at the
hospital, and he ended up living at an orphanage in Ukraine until he was 12
years old. From there, he lived in foster care for six years until he was 18
and ready to face the world head-on. From an early age, Vitaly knew deep
down he was different, but he had no clue, or guidance, to meet his true
self then; also, living in the USSR times had its challenges.

Life was miserable.

Vitaly would live life without thinking about the future and take each day
at face value. He was surrounded by loneliness and tried his best to enjoy
life, but he couldn’t help but question himself.

“Why wasn’t I normal?”

No matter how hard Vitaly tried to conform to what was ‘normal,’ he just
never could. He couldn’t escape the feeling that there was something wrong
with him. From a young age, he was taught the cycle of life — enjoy
your childhood, be good, don’t lie, respect your parents, go to school,
finish school, get a job, start your own family, retire and savor the rest
of your life.

However, he never really knew anyone that lived up to that cycle. Without
anyone to turn or look up to, Vitaly was left to figure everything out
independently.

Struggle, after struggle, he endured it all. Until he finally decided to
question the standard.

This inspiring eye-opener highlights it all, from his childhood mishaps and
challenges to his discoveries and accomplishments.

Do you want to read one of the best, most inspiring real-life
autobiographies out there?

If you’ve answered YES, then read on because you are about to uncover one
of the most moving autobiographies ever written.

 

More precisely, this autobiography:

Narrates the real-life events of Vitaly in the first
person to give you the experience of his touching story and his life in
Ukraine

Provides a comprehensible flow of events from the
beginning to adulthood, making it easy to follow-through

It highlights the parallels between the Ukrainian
culture and different religions and opens your eyes to people’s experiences
in other countries.

Vitaly’s book clear tone and adventurous stories will
keep you glued to the pages.

It is as touching as it is inspiring, and you are sure
to draw out some of the essential life lessons from the book.

 

So, if you are looking for a touching memoir, or if you are feeling
confused about who you are and want some inspiration to find personal
acceptance, or even if you are looking for a good read, behold Vitaly, the
best autobiography. Be inspired and know that it’s not simply about what
life you’re born into; it’s about what you make of it.

 

About the Author

Vitaly Magidov was born in Ukraine. His mother left him in a hospital when
he was a baby. From there, he was taken into an orphanage and then, at 11,
into foster care. Living without parental support was not easy, but he
looked at life as a life of opportunities. At age 18, when he was living on
his own, he was free to pursue his dreams.

Vitaly came to the U.S. with $3 in his pocket. He is now a U.S. citizen and
wants to share his story with the world.

A Kind and Savage Place – @rickhelmsauthor @RABTBookTours

 

Historical Mystery

Date Published: 03-01-2022

Publisher: New Arc Books / Level Best Books

It’s 1954. The place is Prosperity, North Carolina, a small farming community in Bliss County. Three teenagers, the 1953 championship-winning offensive backfield for Prosperity High, are unwilling participants in a horrific event that results in a young man’s death.

One of the friends harbors a tragic secret that could have prevented the crime. Divulging it would ruin his life, so he stays quiet, fully aware he will carry a stain of guilt for the rest of his life.

The three buddies go their separate ways for almost a decade, before another tragedy brings them back to Prosperity in 1968. Now in their thirties, it is a time of civil and racial unrest in America.

They discover the man who committed murder back in ’54 is now the mayor, and rules the town with an autocratic iron fist. He’s backed by his own private force of sheriff’s deputies and forcibly intimidates and silences any malcontents.

Worse, now he’s set his sights on Congress.

A Kind and Savage Place spans half a century from 1942 to 1989 and examines the dramatic racial and societal turmoil of that period through the microcosmic lens of a flyspeck North Carolina agricultural community.

Review

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the author’s attention to detail and period history.
I loved that all the historical information came with a swift-moving narrative, too.
I highly recommend this author if you enjoy historical accuracy, well developed characters, and plot twists that keep you turning the pages!!

The Layover – @RABTBookTours @changelingpress

Contemporary / Gay Romance

Date Published: 4/1/22

 

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

Inside the cockpit, Captain Paul Miller is always in control. But on the
ground, he constantly feels adrift. His marriage is crumbling, and life has
become much too complicated.

Jamey Conley has worked hard to make his café in the Frisco airport
a successful venture. He loves his work – and especially the airport
scenery. He goes gaga over guys in uniform, but when he meets Paul, sparks
really fly. Too bad his ideal man is married — and straight.

 

Excerpt

 

“Paul?” Jamey came running up. “My friend called. He
can’t make it. Can I share a taxi with you?”

Almost as if it were fate, a cab pulled up at that very moment.

No! “Sure.”

Paul slid across the leather seat, and Jamey followed him inside.

The driver turned sideways, and looked over his shoulder. “Where
to?”

“Gateway Suites,” Paul said.

The cabbie nodded, and started to turn away.

“Wait.” Paul looked at Jamey. “Tell him where
you’re going.”

“Gateway Suites.”

“No.” Paul shook his head. “No, he’s not going
there. No.”

“I’m going to the Gateway,” Jamey insisted.

The driver snorted derisively. “I’m not getting in the middle
of a lover’s quarrel. You wanna get out here, or go to the
Gateway?”

“The Gateway,” Jamey said.

Paul swore under his breath. The cab pulled away from the curb.

Paul tried to keep his voice low. “What kind of game are you
playing?”

“I don’t play games, Paul.”

“Then stop acting like a kid,” Paul said in a hoarse whisper.
“I don’t want to fuck you.”

Jamey’s eyebrows shot up, and hid themselves under a lock of caramel
hair. “Who said anything about fucking?”

The driver turned with a big grin on his face.

“Keep your eyes on the road,” Paul yelled, before facing Jamey.
“Damn it, keep your voice down.”

“But now that you mention it…” Jamey cupped Paul’s
crotch, and rubbed.

Paul intended to push him away, but Jamey’s lips were so close to
his. One heated look and they both knew what was coming. Their lips met as
if magnetized and it was magic.

Jamey’s mouth was so warm, so soft, much softer than Paul had
imagined, and he opened his mouth with a low moan. Jamey slipped his tongue
inside. It was just like the movies. Time stopped. Everything disappeared,
even the nosy driver. It was just him and Jamey. Until they pulled
apart.

Paul sighed. He drew back and studied Jamey’s face. Jamey stared
back, his feelings showed plainly on his face. He was thrilled beyond words
to be the recipient of Paul’s affection.

Damn, damn, damn. Paul was completely unprepared for the feelings that kiss
stirred in him, but he couldn’t bring himself to admit it. He feigned
a disgusted look and shook his head. “Sorry, Jamey. I had too much to
drink tonight. You’re a great guy, but I’m not gay.”

Jamey’s happy expression faded. “You know what I think,
Paul?” Jamey moved away. “I think you’re lying. To me. And
most of all to yourself.” Jamey tapped the driver on the shoulder.
“Take me to Dartmouth Street please.”
