I have to admit, that the title of this book is what caught my eye. My brain in love.....really. Who knew. But really, it's true. The "heart" we always say is the seat of our emotions and our feelings, but it really is in our brains. Can you imagine saying to the one you love...."I love you with all of my brain!!!" Sounds funny doesn't it. I wouldn't say it. Heart sounds so much better, but in this book Dr. Henslin explains how the brain is really where our feelings come from. He uses medical knowledge to explain how and why. Sometimes the medical jargon can be a little hard to follow, but he does make it easy for the layman to understand what he is saying. I like how the author has taken examples from patients he has counseled and from his own life to make his points a little clearer to understand.

The tests that are at the beginning of the chapters are interesting and are nothing like I have come across before - they really are not your typical "personality" tests :). Also at the end of each chapter when the author is describing each type of lover, he gives natural options for dealing with the "issues" that each type of "brain lover" has. Which is great. Who wants to take meds when instead you can take some fish oil and exercise!!! Now, don't get me wrong, taking meds, if you need them, is fine and you should. But if you can do things natural first, why not try it out.

I have enjoyed this book and if I continue to say anymore, I will be writing a short book of my own, so I would recommend this book. Actually, I have a friend right now waiting to read it!!!

I have recieved this book for free from Thomas Nelson thru their Booksneeze program.

The Final Summit

The Final Summit A Quest to Find the One Principle That Will Save Humanity Jacketed Hardcover By Andy Andrews David Ponder is back. This time the fate of mankind is in his hands. This is mankind’s last chance. Centuries of greed, pride, and hate have sent humanity hurtling toward disaster, and far from its original purpose. There is only one solution that can reset the compass and right the ship, and it consists of only two words. With time running out, it is up to David Ponder and a cast of history’s best and brightest minds to uncover this solution before it is too late. The catch? They are allowed only five tries to discover the answer. Readers first encountered David Ponder in The Traveler's Gift. Now, in The Final Summit, Andrews combines a riveting narrative with astounding history in order to show us the one thing we must do when we don’t know what to do. Many years have passed since David Ponder discovered the Seven Decisions during a divine journey through time. Now 74 years old, Ponder has lost the one thing that mattered to him most: his wife, Ellen. Despite his personal and professional success, he now sits alone at the top of his 55-story high-rise contemplating the unthinkable, just as he did 28 years ago. However, just as things are looking their darkest, Ponder is informed through divine channels that he is needed now more than ever. Together, with the help of hundreds of his fellow Travelers, from Winston Churchill to George Washington Carver to Joan of Arc, he must work to discover the one solution that will save humanity. Time is running out, and the final summit of Travelers must work quickly to avoid dire consequences. The Final Summit explores the historically proven principles that have guided our greatest leaders for centuries, and how we might restore these principles in our own lives...before it's too late. ___________________________________________________ I am not done reading this book. I just recently received this in the mail to review and life with an almost 3 year old has made it hard to read in the last week or so. But since I have picked up The Final Summit, it has been a very enjoyable read. It combines practical advice for everyday life with historical facts, and then fiction. The book combines different styles of writing, that is surprisingly well done and....captivating. I have never read any of Andy Andrews books before, this is my first taste of his books, I do have to say that this will not be last my time I will read this author. I love how he has taken well-known people of history and brought them to life. For example, Winston Churchill. I have read and learned things of this great man, but how the author has made him more real and full of life is a pleasure to read. I may not be finished reading this book for today, but I will be finishing this book before I pick another up to read. It's just that good (well, there is some dry spots in the book, and sometimes a little to much repeating of a point already made) and I am really enjoying this book. I'd have more to say....but I'm not done!!! I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com <http://BookSneeze®.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed this book. From the color, the look and feel of the pages to the information that was given on the songs. I also liked how the book was broken into different catergories - making it easy to peruse for the songs that I know and love. This book is like a hymn book with the history on the song, which is great because I always wondered growing up where the songs came from. I would recommend this book to anyone who would love to know where the songs orginated from.I received this book from Thomas Nelson in return for an honest review.
