Our family's personal story of triumph over tragedy is used to give God all the praise and glory with the hope that readers will feel encouraged, inspired, refreshed; and that they too can overcome the unthinkable.

Points:
1) God can do far greater things through you than you have ever thought of, dreamed of, or imagined if you allow God and His will to be #1 in your life;
2) Thankfulness is an attitude you choose to have;
3) God still does miracles;
4) All things are possible - even what appears to be the impossible is possible;
5) Keep your eyes totally focused on God lest you become overwhelmed and depressed.

Sit back, laugh and relax while reading this amazing and true story behind the success of award winning author and inspirational speaker, Dawn Hall. With humor, energy and insight she shares her most intimate and personal details of how she triumphed over such tragedies as her husband's brain cancer, two house fires, financial bondage, depression, fighting the government, and the loss of her loving 38 year old husband. "I am an ordinary woman whom God has done extraordinary things through, far greater than I have ever hoped of, dreamed of or imagined! If God can do it through me, He can do it through you, too!"

3.0 out of 5 stars Lower-carb, NOT low-carb, January 2, 2007

By

This review is from: Busy People's Low-Carb Cookbook (Busy People Cookbooks) (Spiral-bound)

Ground meatless (some kind of vegetarian ground meat substitute by Morning Farms) is a staple in this author's recipes. But my biggest gripe is that these recipes are NOT low carb. They lean more toward being low-fat.

Sure, the recipes are lower in carbohydrates than most, but someone following Atkins or similar might be disappointed. Extra-thick Peach Milkshake, which use frozen peaches and fat-free whipped topping (which has sugar in it!) has 26 grams of carbs per serving. That is more than a day's worth of carbs allowed on the Induction plan..

Whole Wheat Muffin Bites: 22 grams per serving; Pork Pastry Squares: 32 grams; Taco Salad: 18 grams...and the list just goes on.

Now, if you aren't following Atkins or some other strict low-carb diet and are just looking to cut back on the carbs and the fat then this book could be a good choice. The recipes look to be simple and the Slow-Roasted Beef & Bell Peppers Stew (10grams) sounds yummy, as does the Zucchini Skillet Dish (6 grams)and Broiled Eggplant Italiano (12 grams).

I am a diabetic and have to follow a diet that closely monitors my carbohydrates. This book has delicious, easy recipes that everyone will enjoy. I love the simplicity - every recipe has less than seven ingredients.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspired me to eat out less, cook fantastic food more, May 20, 2005

My husband and I wanted to start eating less carbs, but since I cant' eat eggs many low carb recipes won't work for me. Also I don't have much time to cook. This book is wonderful, we eat at hoem every night. If I am not making something from this book I am making something similar to a recipe in this book. The other great thing is that many of the recipes use similar ingredients, and doesn't require exotic ingredients that I normally don't have on hand. I want to get her other cookbooks.
