”Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.” ― Bill O'Reilly, Killing Kennedy: The”Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.” ― Bill O'Reilly, Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot
Spot on retelling of those last fateful days of JFK’s life.
Having already read the longer version of these events in this authors Killing series, giving it all the stars, I was fairly certain on how this would go. In my humble opinion, no one does this sort of breaking down of significant historical events, and people, better than Bill O'Reilly.
A good, short and concise telling of one of the most significant events in most of our lifetimes.
We think God is waiting for us to pull ourselves together, but actually He is waiting for us to come to Him and fall apart.
I have read many of JenWe think God is waiting for us to pull ourselves together, but actually He is waiting for us to come to Him and fall apart.
I have read many of Jennie’s books that have landed, spot on, for me. Her heart is good and I feel as if this book will be the exact right thing for most everyone.
For me, this came in a little short and left me wanting. I did love learning many revelations of how emotions have a biblical bases and combing through scripture to find them. How our emotions are tools to connect us to God, and each other. Only, I kept waiting for more. More on how to better use my emotions in applying to real life situations. More on, I just don’t know.
Overal this is a good book and, I’m sure, that it will help many. I am suprised, like the author, that this is a subject that has been largely overlooked, by theological study. It gave me much to ponder....more

It’s hard to believe, given everything, that he still shows up for us mortals, but he does, and that’s the point: love always wins.”
Heartbreaking ~ is the word that comes to mind as I read this book ~ after Matthew’s bright light, went out.
“Friends” was background to my life at the time of its airing. So much of how my life was, got reflected back to me, on screen. I knew it intimately. The show, and Perry especially, were a cushion that made the small, daily mundane, not so hard. The humor, comic timing and realness of it all, was nothing short of pure genius.
To know now the hell of Matthew Perry’s life, is heartbreaking. Having some intimate knowledge on how insidious, addiction weaves its way into life and family, following his voice in the book was like poking a bruise that will never heal.
Perry was a bright light on screen and has, through his book, shown another light on an issue many would rather not see. Yet, not seeing does not make it go away. We are all a part of the fabric of humanity. Most, should hit our knees, and thank God above that we dodged the bullet of addiction. Only, we are all addicted as long as one of us is. Perry expounds on how he wanted to help others. Perhaps we can take a page from his book and turn back and lend a hand up. “Love always wins.”
Read the audio version narrated excellently by Perry himself. Getting the story, raw, with emphases only he could match, is priceless.

Turn off the starvation response by eating whenever you’re hungry and until fully satisfied. 2. Tame your fat cells with a diet that lowers insulin levels, reduces inflammation (insulin’s troublemaker twin), and redirects calories to the rest of your body. 3. Follow a simple lifestyle prescription focused on enjoyable physical activities, sleep, and stress relief to improve metabolism and support permanent behavior change.
This book was (surprisingly) insightful. Thinking I’ve read just about every book, blog and article concerning weight loss. The outcome of all this research - know yourself. And, even after finding that

A sobering tale of how those in power can, and do, twist the facts to conform to their narrative. When this is done, and condoned, as a regular matter A sobering tale of how those in power can, and do, twist the facts to conform to their narrative. When this is done, and condoned, as a regular matter of business, lives are ruined and justice becomes a travesty. It’s truly frightening how often this is still done, in America, and right under our collective noses, is the real crime. This book magnifies how this plays out in Mississippi. Only, to think that it only occurs there, may make us sleep better at night. Only, it’s under a blanket of lies that can and does make each of us a party to the injustice.
The book is interesting and held my attention, for the most part. It does though, tend to get off track and introduces names and information that makes the reading somewhat convoluted. It is still a worthwhile read, though I hold that it could have benefited from a bit more editing. It is a story that needs to be told - a spotlight on how - even in this age of advanced science, DNA evidence, mistakes are made and innocent men, pay. The science, in the wrong hands, with the stamp of validity by men who benefit from controlling the narrative, still happens, daily, in our courts of law.
