*Move Every Mountain* -Overcoming 15 of Life's Toughest Challenges by Shamiro Anita


Move Every Mountain: Overcoming 15 of Life's Toughest Challenges is a nonfiction Christian Living/Devotionals book written by Shamiro Anita. Anita is a worship leader at the Grace Abundant Grace Fellowship, a singer/songwriter, and an inspirational author. Anita argues that while life is not always smooth sailing and that we all encounter obstacles that seem like mountains in our everyday lives, God is always there, watching out for us and providing places of rest and comfort after those travails. He discusses each of the “mountains” we encounter, starting with the Mountain of Doubt through the Mountain of Guilt and culminating in The Valley of Peace. Each chapter opens with a quote from Scripture and continues with a discussion of that chapter’s topic, wherein Anita gives anecdotes from everyday life as well as passages from Scripture.

*GO!*-10 Powerful Steps to Accomplishing Your Goals & Living the Life You Desire by Cherita Weatherspoon


GO! 10 Powerful Steps to Accomplishing Your Goals & Living the Life You Desire by Cherita Weatherspoon is a self-help, motivational book that proposes 10 steps to mastering the art of goal-setting.

The ten steps are enunciated as compelling, imperative affirmations and the science of how they work is clearly explained to readers, accompanied by actionable steps that will move them from point A to point B.

It begins with the author’s experience of an accident that changes the way she lives and sees life. Avoiding a head-on collision with an oncoming car, she has an accident. This memoir looks at the author's internal process of dealing with pain and crisis and it explores her inner journey into turning challenges and difficult situations into opportunities. 

Written in beautiful prose and in a voice that is strong and consistent, the memoir is filled with spiritual insights and thoughts on the one important thing we have—the power to choose our responses to situations, especially painful ones. This author writes with honesty and shares her experiences with a lot of clarity. I found this book to be both engaging and inspiring, filled with thought-provoking passages that will motivate readers to reflect on their own situations. 

While A Moment in Time: Where Accidents Become Opportunities chronicles the author’s personal journey towards healing, it is filled with wisdom and insight and the spiritual tools that readers can use to shift their perspective on life and heal after painful moments. The writing is fluid and upbeat, the narrative style so captivating that the reader is keen to follow the voice from page to page. Lori Giesey has a unique gift that will inspire readers to look past the darkness of their experience and into the light that calls them to a more meaningful life.
