I just finished "The Only Off-Grid Survival Projects Bible You'll Ever Need" by Jaxon Ridge, and wow—talk about comprehensive! As someone who has recently developed an interest in survival and sustainability, this book is exactly what I need to aim me in the right direction.

Perhaps the book is so detailed and exhaustive because “Jaxon Ridge” is the pen name for a team of authors who have researched and experienced the wide range of topics discussed. They know what they’re talking about because they’ve done it themselves! And the reader doesn’t benefit from only one author’s knowledge and experience, but from a panel of experts.

One major benefit of this guide is how practical everything is. Each project comes with step-by-step instructions that even beginners can follow. I particularly loved the sections on home fortification and sustainable nutrition. The layout is super user-friendly, with ten well-organized chapters covering everything from creating a secure shelter to setting up communication systems and DIY heating solutions.

Whether your objective is to live off-grid, prepare for potential emergencies, or just reduce your dependence on fragile systems, this book delivers actionable information relevant to your goals. It's refreshingly positive while still being realistic about the challenges of off-grid living.

If you're serious about self-sustainability, do yourself a favor and add this book to your Audible library—it may very well be the only resource you'll ever need!

I don’t often think about what a daunting task it is for children to learn a language. But I have never even been aware that this monumental job of childhood is a prime opportunity for parents to establish a close relationship and have fun with their child. If, like me, you wouldn’t know how to mine the treasures of love and joy available at this life stage, don’t worry - author Carolyn J. Webb has your back!

In “A Parent’s Guide to Early Communication,” this professional Speech and Language Therapist generously shares her knowledge and expertise with her readers. Although she won’t bore you with a lot of esoteric, cerebral erudition, she supplies the why’s and wherefore’s of her methods. And then, the bulk of her book consists of simple strategies, challenges, and activities you can do with your child.

Three words that occur over and over in “A Parent’s Guide to Early Communication” are “play,” “fun,” and “games.” On page 16, Webb says, “You can’t go wrong as long as your child is having fun.” Let’s get really serious for a moment here - how many things in life are more heartwarming and uplifting than a child’s laughter? Your little one will be little for such a short time. What could be more precious than to hear those squeals of glee and know the joyful sound means you’re helping your child develop language skills? Besides that, you’ll be having fun too!

This book is a gold mine - don’t miss it!

Once upon a time, several decades ago, I was having a let’s-get-caught-up chat with a slight acquaintance. I don’t remember what we were talking about, but I’ll probably never forget something she said to me: “You’re not in touch with your feelings, are you?” I don’t remember how I answered her, but it should have been, “I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”

Listening to “Emotional Intelligence for Teens” brings that memory back to me with a bit of sadness. I’m not sure I’ve ever learned much about getting in touch with my feelings. I wish the content of this book had been a high school course. I loved school and soaked up information like a dry sponge. I can’t even imagine how much my life would have been impacted for the better if the knowledge in this book had been presented to me in a class during my teenage years when I was absorbing information and developing life skills based on everything I learned.

As a retired high school teacher, I can see how much the information in “Emotional Intelligence for Teens” will empower students struggling to succeed in academics. I had no problem with academics, but by learning and practicing the activities and techniques in the book, every other part of my life would have benefitted. I highly recommend “Emotional Intelligence for Teens” to every teenager and everyone who loves a teenager!

A year into my retirement, my first response to this book is that I should have read it 50 years ago. So if you’re in your 50s or 40s or 30s or 20s, it’s not too soon to buy this book and start preparing for those glorious golden days when you’ll be allowed to shape your days based on your whims.

The problem with retirement is that it can be full of unpleasant surprises. For example:
1 Not enough income
2 Health problems - your own and those of your family and friends
3 Having nothing to do, which is a sure passage into the grave

But you don’t have to be surprised. And you don’t have to be reactive. Get this book and psych yourself up to be proactive. The book truly lives up to its title! "The Only Retirement Planning Book You'll Ever Need" is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking to secure a stress-free retirement. The author breaks down complex financial concepts into easy-to-understand steps, making retirement planning approachable even for those with limited experience. I was particularly impressed by the in-depth coverage of topics like minimizing taxes, managing healthcare costs, and making smart investment choices. Each chapter builds on the previous one, giving readers a comprehensive roadmap to follow.

The bonus Retirement Mastery Toolkit is a fantastic addition, offering checklists and tips that make planning even more practical and actionable. Whether you're just starting to think about retirement or you're on the cusp of it, this book has something for everyone. It’s not just about making your money last, but about thriving and enjoying life after you leave the workforce. (Unless you decide to go back, and that’s another possibility the author discusses.)

Here’s a quote from the book that beautifully sums up its message. “Your retirement is YOURS to create.” And I would add, “The sooner you start creating it, the better!” I highly recommend this guide for anyone serious about securing a comfortable, stress-free future!

In this “two-fer” audiobook, Kara Lawrence displays the depth of thought and extensive research she has applied to the topic of relationships. "Anxiety in Marriage” and “Trust Issues in Relationships" offer a comprehensive guide to understanding and overcoming deep-seated issues that can plague even the strongest partnerships.

Lawrence provides a wealth of valuable information and supplements it with her personal experiences. Courageously revealing her own vulnerabilities, she brings her message to life, producing a pair of books that are practical and relatable.

"Anxiety in Marriage" probes the world of relationship anxiety. I appreciated how the author didn’t just focus on managing anxiety but actually showed how to turn anxious thoughts into something positive. The tips on communication were especially eye-opening, and I felt like I could finally understand how to express my fears without feeling like I’m pushing my partner away.

"Trust Issues in Relationships" has a powerful impact. If you’ve ever been betrayed and are struggling to trust again, this book will speak to you. The author doesn’t sugarcoat how difficult it is to rebuild trust, but she makes it clear that it’s totally possible.

These books can be your toolkit for improving your relationship. Whether you’re in the middle of some serious issues or just looking to strengthen your bond, you’ll find help. It’s like having a compassionate friend who knows exactly what you’re going through and is there to guide you every step of the way. Highly recommended!

Because I find the Bible to be not only true, but also inspiring, enlightening, and exciting, “The YORUBA ORISHA SET” disturbs me. Although it is a fascinating discussion, Yoruba tenets blatantly defy Biblical doctrines. The Old Testament clearly describes how Israel abandoned the worship of Yahweh, the one true God, choosing instead to worship the gods of their neighbors. As a result, the nation was defeated by Assyria and Babylon and carried into captivity. Similarly, “The YORUBA ORISHA SET” recommends the worship of a multitude of gods.

I believe implicitly that freedom of religion is a fundamental right of every person and pray the United States will always defend this freedom for Christianity and Yoruba, as well as any other religion our citizens choose to observe. However, this review is my opinion, and I must make it clear that I do not endorse the basic principles described in the book.

Having said all that, I learned a lot from the book. I had never heard of the Yoruba religion or orishas (spiritual entities) before. Yoruba is an ancient religion, and the authors explain its beliefs about both Creation and and a primeval Flood. They also give practical guidance on such topics as understanding and connecting with orishas and embracing one’s femininity as a source of strength. Their description of the orishas’ ability to help the reader is frankly beguiling (which, of course, I found concerning.)

Here are just a couple of examples of practical wisdom from the book. One of the authors shared: “Even though I wasn’t responsible for getting caught up in negative life experiences, I was certainly the only person who could get myself out.” That statement is valuable insight in any religion! And they used a term that captured me: “energy vampires.” We have to protect ourselves from getting sucked into the draining power of Energy Vampires. I’m going to remember that one!

Any student of world religions or diverse spiritual paths will find this book clear and informative. It is an enjoyable listen and a valuable source of knowledge about the Yoruba religion.

I realized long before I retired that I was going to have to find a way to supplement my retirement income. Now, heading into my 2nd year of retirement, soaring prices bring that fact home to me on a daily basis. The good news is that the “Age of AI” is an exciting time to be a retiree. I have time to learn - and, boy, do I need it!

Enter: “How to Make Money Online with Microsoft Copilot AI, etc.” A glance at the book’s description and table of contents quickly reveals that it contains way more information than a baby-AI-user, such as I, needs. At the same time, I easily found the sections helpful to me, containing all the detailed, step-by-step guidance I need to start my online, money-making journey. I bet you can too!

"How to Make Money Online with Microsoft Copilot AI" can surely help anyone serious about creating online income. One high-light of the book is that it offers a thorough breakdown of Microsoft’s AI tools, showing how to use them to build and grow a profitable business. Fortunately, I am already familiar with some of those pre-AI tools since I used them in my career as a teacher.

And I must mention - the icing on the cake is that Fitzgerald describes some fun ways to use AI. After all, we can’t be working ALL the time! I highly recommend that you get the book, listen all the way through, then focus on the chapters that resonate with your goals.

Everyone should understand how much faith it takes to be an atheist. Like the authors, I don’t have that much faith. The book answers all kinds of worrisome issues with simplicity and logic. I rarely listen to a nonfiction book straight through. Instead I put it down after awhile for something more interesting and may never return to it. This book held my interest as tightly as a compelling fictional story, all the way to the end. I recommend it HIGHLY!!!
