Book Review: Your Guide to Living Life Out Loud by Dave Bell

Life is short; how do you intend to live your life? Dave Bell intends to live his life out loud, invites readers to do the same, and is eager to show them how. This book is about his life, his sufferings, his faith, his family, his healing and miracles. At 16, Dave was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive cancer. His life was turned upside down. But by God's grace and power, and the loving support from his family, friends, and church community, Dave Bell has survived and thrived to encourage and inspire others. He's here to testify that God is bigger than any giants we may face.

Each chapter (except Chapter 1) ends with Life Out Loud Guide which includes Think Out Loud (thought-provoking questions), Read Out Loud (encouraging Scriptures), Pray Out Loud (prayer), and Live Out Loud (action steps). Each chapter is short and concise. Chapter 14 was written by Dave's Dad (Stuart Bell). There are black and white photos here and there throughout the book. The author shares the valuable lessons he had learned from his journey through the valley. His experience leads him to write several heartfelt songs. This book is a beautiful testimony of God's goodness and faithfulness. It's an easy read. Dave's writing style is conversational and he writes with honesty and humor. Dave's passion for life is contagious. Reading this book will get you excited about living (including welcoming Mondays :)). Life is indeed a gift from God. Let's make every day count for the glory of God! Let's live our lives out loud with no regrets and no if only's!

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo
