REVIEW: Truly, Madly, Deadly

Title: Truly, Madly, Deadly

Format: paperback

I picked this one up due to my obsession with True Blood and it was definitely interesting.

The unofficial companion takes us through the entire storyline up until the published date, episode by episode, plus characters, timelines, and some great Q&A interview sessions.

I loved the section with burning questions for future episodes, plus more from Alan Ball and Charlaine Harris.

If you’re a True Blood fan you have to pick this one up!

REVIEW: The Tangible Kingdom

Title: The Tangible Kingdom
Author: Hugh Halter & Matt Smay
Finished: November 20, 2011

Published: 2008
Format: First Edition

Our church did a study on this book and how to create a community that will last a lifetime. I picked this up after the fact to check out and read at my own pace.

It was definitely an interesting book with plenty of examples of how the authors over the years have created multiple sustainable communities around the teachings of God. I can’t recommend this book this book to just anyone but I found it very insightful and a fairly quick read.
