Knock ‘Em Dead by Martin Yate


Job searching is hard work no matter what state the economy is in. “Knock ‘em Dead” is a practical solutions manual that offers step-by-step instruction to getting a job and keeping a job. This book begins with a little soul-searching for your marketable skills, teaches you how to put those on paper to be noticed and then helps you clinch the job interview to land a career instead of a job.

I originally read this book with the intention of passing on a few job-hunting skills to a close family member who is soon to graduate college. This book was so intensive and in-depth that I am just going to pass the entire book to her! For anyone who is looking for a new career, has been out of a job for awhile or is just entering the workforce, this book has solutions for almost any need.

Max On Life by Max Lucado

Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone was issued an owner’s manual upon entry into the world? Every question you have, every malfunction in your internal software could be fixed just by reaching for a simple and practical solutions manual. While not exactly an instruction booklet, “Max on Life” does attempt to answer some of life’s toughest questions. Lucado answers questions about our purpose in life, our conflicts in life, and what happens when our life on earth is done.

“Max on Life” was an insightful and well-organized book that gave real answers to real problems. This book is written in Max Lucado’s warm and easy to understand style. You don’t have to worry about any large theological terms that confuse the main issue. Max’s book is helpful for today’s world and today’s people.
