Patricia Kirk | 154 comments I'm looking for reviews, so I've earmarked ten books for giveaway for those who will review it both on Amazon and on Goodreads. If you have a way with words and believe God influences every breath we take, please read the description of the book on the Goodreads bookshelf and get back with me here.

Page 49: Linda watched helplessly as the gas line blazed and fire traveled toward her dad as he held the other end. Then it exploded.

Page 15: When Steven overdosed on heroin, the paramedics pronounced him dead after three minutes. Then they found a pulse. As he slowly awoke, one paramedic asked him about his out-of body experience. As Steven listened, he realized his experience didn’t match the one described by the medic. Was the dark tunnel a “waiting room for judgment?”

Page 21: Larry enjoyed the beautiful Colorado day as he practiced his golf swing before work. But during one swing, the wet grass pulled him off his feet, landing him painfully on his back. Then, at the hospital, he and his wife listened in shock as the doctor told them that the ex-Marine faced life as a paraplegic.

These are a few examples of the stories. If you don't believe God touches our lives daily, you will hate it. It's One Touch from the Maker, Second Edition and it tells fifty-one true short stories of Grace.

Thank you. I appreciate your help here.

Patricia Kirk | 154 comments Molly: I would send you a book and if you like it, you would then go to Amazon.com, look up One Touch from the Maker, Second Edition in the search engine and write a review. I would appreciate it if you would also put a review on Goodreads and your site.

If you find you don't like it at least enough to give it a four on Amazon, I would appreciate it if you would not review it any place. You could then throw the book away or sell it to a second hand store or whatever you want to do--use it to start a camp fire:-)

go to my email to let me know your address. That's patkirk@puckettbrowne.net.

Incidentally, I wasn't able to bring up your blog. Will you please give me that link again?

Thank you so much.

Patricia Kirk | 154 comments Molly: I stand corrected. I went to your site from your profile page. One Touch from the Maker tells true stories. I notice you usually review fiction. One Touch does follow the rules of fiction such as active voice, etc.

Let me know.

Carrie (carriemreads) | 6 comments I would love to review your book. I am always interested in new authors (for me to read) and am really enjoying a lot of the "Faith/Religion" type books.

Daphne Lin (daphnepq) | 3 comments I thought it will be easier for you to read one of my reviews here :)

The review I wrote for the book, Holy Discontent: Fueling the Fire That Ignites Personal Vision by Bill Hybels

"Books that share something new and fresh and life changing are worth taking time to submit a comment.

This concept of fueling frustration to ignite personal vision is captured in this book.

This book will either change your view or help shape your view on making a difference as believers in this world. We all have something that burns us up and this book shares stories of others who have gone before us and inspire us to go ahead. They are people who took the leap and have amazing ministries. Hybels does a great job in his presentation and will inspire anyone who reads this to go after their holy discontent with passion. I learned a ton from this book including what really fuels my fire.

The important thing to remember is that God is the one who is revealing the discontent, developing it, keeping it alive. It's all about Him, His glory and how he is using individuals to bring greater glory to His name.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to accomplish what God is calling you to do.

This book will stir you to action. Read it and begin to move in a direction that will help change things in our world."

Patricia Kirk | 154 comments Hi Daphne: I appreciate your request to review One Touch from the Maker, but the cost to send a book to places outside the US is prohibitive. Please forgive me. I would like to include you as a friend.

Usually, I request that people from other countries order through Amazon.com

Daphne Lin (daphnepq) | 3 comments hey pat, that's ok :) it's my misfortune for not being able to get a free book from you, nonetheless, I wanna ask for the Lord's blessing to be upon you as you continue to write for Him and His glory :)

All the best for the publicising of your new book! :)

Sorry, haven't reviewed many books, and only one so far from Goodreads. I don't have a regular review site, but would be interested on how one would get that started.

Patricia Kirk | 154 comments I'll go ahead and send you my book and you can get your feet wet with an Amazon Review. Go to the e-mail address listed in other comments and give me your address.

Thanks.

As far as starting a review site, if you want to do that, you can go to blogspot or another free blog source and just follow their instructions. I use Typepad but it costs. I wanted to be able to manipulate it into a web-site.
