52 Weeks Book Challenge

Well- I have been behind in my reviewing, again, so I will review two books with one post. 

 First up is the 5th in the Terri Blackstock Newpointe 911 series, Line of Duty. The author's note said that she was planning on ending this series with book four, but the events of 911 sparked the idea for a continuation. The book opens in the high rise office building where the CEO is being question for indictment when one of the employees finds a bomb hidden in the supply room. The fire department from Newpointe is called in to help with the destruction. This book has heart-wrenching moments as some of the Newpointe crew becomes unaccounted for and to top it off, the perpetrator is eluding them. Was it terrorists? the CEO? or someone else? Blackstock really captures the emotions we all felt on September 11th.

The second book I am review is called The Stress Answer by Dr. Frank Lawlis. I read this book because I have been dealing with anxiety attacks and this book was recommended to me by a friend. This book has very practical advice for dealing with several different problems from like anxiety or depression. I found it fairly easy to read. There is some detailed descriptions about brain functions for each sections which could be a little tedious but it was well worth reading and understanding what was happening in the brain for each situation. I am still working through the steps to overcome the anxiety but it is going very well. Each day is a learning experience for me but the daily suggestions are really helping. The biggest help was knowing I am not crazy and with the help of Jesus, medication and learning how to avoid "stress storms" things will get better. I highly recommend reading this book if you are struggling with any of these areas. You still may need medical intervention but these exercises will help you cope with life better.
