REVIEW OF THE LEGACY OF JOBS WIFE BY CYNTHIA J. KOELKER

-
Image
At times, one wonders how life was in the ancient days, or the Bible days, as some people call them. Cynthia J. Koelker has put our imagination to rest as she narrates in the book known as The Legacy of Job's Wife . This is a fiction book based on the story of Job, found in the Bible. The main character is Job's wife, whose life is well narrated, bringing out the simple, silly things that normal people do. They happened to be neighbors as well as family friends with Jobs' family. Job came from a God-fearing family, but that was not the case with his wife. How will they end up? The reader will have to find out for themselves in this interesting book. At first, I didn't think it would be a very interesting book because, after all, I have read the book of Job a lot of times, yet I needed to see what the writer needed to say regarding it. To my surprise, it has ended up being an extremely intriguing book. I have never thought of Job’s wife, and I believe it is the same case...

Review of Second Act by Henry Oliver

-
Image
  Second Act by Henry Oliver is a book about late bloomers or people who discover their path to success later in their lives, contrary to the belief that success can only come in more youthful years. The author has given many examples of late bloomers who have become great people in society, some of whom have done wonders even as late as 90 years of age. He has shown how interruptions of life have brought about significant changes in the lives of people who had otherwise settled for less, only to discover that life has new surprises for them. He has also given great advice, accompanied by real people's life experiences, what made them fail, and what made them succeed. I like the real-life stories the author has given in the book. It was interesting to have a peek into the lives of these individuals. Good examples include the story about Frank Lloyd Wright and Yitang Zhang. The normal struggles of life and the way success is achieved eventually is quite encouraging. I also like the...
