Project Unthinkable: A Doctor's Gamble to Save Millions of Lives by Derek Yach ISBN: 978-1-988025-30-8



I would have to say that Project Unthinkable: A Doctor's Gamble to Save Millions of Lives by Derek Yach is probably the most hope filled book I have ever read.

If everything works out the way the author Derek Yach seems to think it will, we will soon all be living in a smoke-free world.

I have to admit, if I were browsing a book store or searching through Amazon, I probably would pass this book by.  

If I had passed up on reading this book, I would have missed reading a wealth of information that I would not have received anywhere else.  

I really don’t know how the WHO works, but I know the FDA is made up of a bunch of goons that couldn’t regulate a dog fight.  I say this because they won’t allow natural foods and supplements to be sold unless they are willing to bow down and say that the only treatment for cancer is chemotherapy and radiation.

These same cancers are caused because the FDA does not do its job to protect our food supply.  Case in point, GMO isn’t as benign as it sounds. We are sent countless books to review that are written by top doctors in their fields.  These books tell us that GMO means that the chemical known as Roundup, an herbicide, is grown into our foods. And the FDA doesn’t think that it is important for us to know which of our foods are GMO?

The FDA didn’t even look at mesh implants before they were approved for implanting in humans.  

Now, Project Unthinkable tells us there is hope for us all.  The hope doesn’t come from government regulations of tobacco, but from one of the largest tobacco companies in the world.

This book is very well written and, believe it or not, it is very entertaining.  You will learn a lot about what you didn’t know you didn’t know. This is the kind of book that you will be surprised you found to be so interesting you just can’t put it down.

Two Old Ladies Smiling: A Journey to My Place of Blessing by Michael Cook ISBN: 978-1-5127-9855-5




I don’t know that I have ever read a hug before.  I can’t say that after reading Two Old Ladies Smiling: A Journey to My Place of Blessing by Michael Cook.

By now I think we have read and reviewed just about every kind of book about just about any subject that can be considered to be Christian-friendly. This was a very different kind of book.  How exactly can one categorize a book like this that has a lot of good stuff in it?

This book is the happy, sad, bitter-sweet book about Mike Cook and his family and the story about how he and his wife started and continue to run Allow the Children ministries.

It is more than just that, though.  It is the story about the absolute love he was given from two very special ladies in his life, who showed absolute love to him and to his entire family.

Two Old Ladies Smiling is a story about God’s miracles and how Mike learned to trust in Heavenly Father.  He did not say it in these exact words, but it seems that God was trying to teach him to “Leap and the net will appear”.

If you are a Christian, you have to read this book.  It is an amazing story of an amazing testimony written from the heart.

Two Old Ladies Smiling is the kind of book you will want to share with your friends and loved ones.

Code Name: Papa: My Extraordinary Life While Hiding in Plain Sight by John Murray And Sharon Murray ISBN: 978-1-4808-1946-7



I live my entire life just a little “messed up.”  I actually read book two first. I think no matter what order you read the two books that are out so far, Code Name: Papa: My Extraordinary Life While Hiding in Plain Sight by John Murray And Sharon Murray is the kind of book you just can’t put down.  I actually read it straight through with a few pauses for the required potty breaks and, “Didn’t I eat yesterday?”

All while I was reading this real life thriller and reading about how with just one phone call the original Papa could make problems just go away, things like AWOL charges and those nasty customs checks just went away.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had real life Papas who could take care of those civilian problems like trying to get Social Security Disability started and being denied every time? Or, things like trying to make sense of that DNA match that indicates the man you grew up thinking was your father, was not.  But, I digress.

If you love a good spy novel, this is it, but this is the real deal. This stuff really happened.

In Code Name: Papa we learn about an elite group of heros who usually won, but sometimes lost.  This makes the story even more exciting and more believable.

By now, you must know we love the Code Name: Papa series and understand there will soon be at least one more. How wonderful.  This is the first book in the series and definitely the place to start. But, I warn you, once you do you won’t put it down until you are done.

A word of warning: This book does contain the Lord’s Name in Vain multiple times. Our readers want to know this.

From Africa to America by Emma Eminash ISBN: 978-1-5320-0918-1



It is always nice to learn a little more about another culture.  In the book From Africa to America by Emma Eminash , the author presents her readers with a wonderful glimpse of life in Uganda.

By now you may have heard lots about Africa and all the countries that make up this continent.  We as citizens of the United States of America think we have a monopoly on everything. We think we know how the rest of the world works and how it should work.

It appears we have another think coming. The rest of the world does not revolve around us.  However, we do set some of the pace and books like From Africa to America help readers understand that.

This book makes a great comparison and contrast between life in Uganda and the United States of America. It is interesting to see how someone from another culture views the world we live in.

This book shows the growth of the young writer as she progressed from an irresponsible youth in Uganda to a more mature adult living in The United States.  




We give From Africa to America by Emma Eminash  all five stars. It is very well-written.  It is interesting and encouraging. The author allows us to see how she grew in her Christian walk as well as how she matured and realized how to interact with others.

This book would make a great textbook for college level cultural studies courses.  It is eye opening and intriguing as well as educational to read the perspective of someone who has come to the U. S. from another culture.


We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Always Welcome: Nine Decades of Great Friends, Great Times & (Mostly) Great Deals by Welcome W. Wilson Sr. ISBN: 978-1-942945-50-5



One would have to say that this book arrived in the most unusual way. We received a knock on our door and found the postal carrier with a postage due package.  It was this book. While my wife scraped up the $1.12 to pay the postage due, I joked with the mail lady that if they were hoping for a good review, they weren’t starting out on the right foot.

Actually, the only reason that part appears in this review at all is because we are required by the FTC to disclose the details of any item we receive for review that is free or at a discount price.  We have no idea how to go about disclosing that, other than to tell the truth of the matter.

Always Welcome: Nine Decades of Great Friends, Great Times & (Mostly) Great Deals by Welcome W. Wilson Sr. is a very well-told story of the life of a man with an unusual name with a flair for deals and evidently for great storytelling.

Readers are treated to a fascinating story of the life of a mover and shaker who was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth.  In fact, it sounds like, at first, there were very few spoons in his house. But, the original WWW grew up during the depression when times were hard and people had to make ends meet however they could.  

Mr. Wilson tells of his time in government and his meeting with multiple presidents of the United States, as well as other fascinating characters.

We find it to be a welcomed change from many memoirs we read, and there have been many, that Welcome doesn’t sugarcoat his mistakes.  Where he made a mistake, he tells us. This is a great way to learn.

As a point of disclosures to the readers of our blogs: As our readers know, we are very Conservative,  Fundamental Christians. That being said, Mr. Wilson discusses the opinion of himself and his wife on abortion.  We do not agree with his stance nor do many of our readers. We do not think that influenced this review in any way.

Always Welcome is a very fascinating book and is one that should probably be read by anyone in business, politics, academie, or who is just plan interested in history.  We award it all five stars and $1.12 postage due.



We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  The book arrived $1.12 postage due. We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Healing: Faith and Medicine: A Medical Professional’s Memoir of Healing and Dealing with Illness by Mark Davis ISBN: 978-1-5127-9936-1




Never before in our recollection have we read a book on faith that actually made cold chills run up and down our spines.  Healing: Faith and Medicine: A Medical Professional’s Memoir of Healing and Dealing with Illness by Mark Davis actually gave us goosebumps.

Davis talks about how possibly the reason we don’t see as many miracles in the United States of America today as we see in third world countries is because here we have more resources to rely on. Perhaps he is right.  However, here, families like us who are well below the poverty level, realize that miracles happen every day.
