2/18/2017 0 Comments talking with godSometimes praying is hard. Sometimes knowing what to pray about at the right time may not be an easy thing to do. Sometimes we do not want to pray. Adam Weber explains that praying is like talking to a friend. God cannot wait to talk with us, so we should talk with God. I love his chapter, when you are discouraged. He talks us through Psalm 42 by David. Stepping us through what we should think and do when we feel like nothing is going right. I highly recommend this book.

I am a recent college grad and am looking for a job in the IT field so this book is perfect for me. The chapter that's I read through three times is the interview tips (chapter 4). Some of the tips were commonly known, that I found on the internet. But, some were new and actually pretty good. I had my first interview ever the other day, and after reading through this book, it went very well and I got the job. The next chapter, salary negotiation, was also very appealing to me. It talked about when to talk about salary and how to bring it up. The employer I interviewed with was offering between the 10-15$ range, but I was able to negotiate above that. Overall a very nice read and very informational.

"Readers will be riveted as Tebow recalls being called into a head coach’s office knowing the news will be bad. They’ll feel Tebow’s sorrow when the reality sets in that he has no job, no car, no home and likely no future in the NFL. They will fight back tears as he shares the stories of critically ill children who have inspired him along the way and given him a new understanding of what it means to be strong and courageous. "
My favorite chapter was "God's Got It". Tebow goes through his experience with the Philadelphia Eagles and being cut. He still had faith in God and never backed down. This is a very encouraging book, he explains how in all trails we face, we always have God. God can never be taken away from us, unlike material possessions of jobs. This book was super easy to read and was so interesting I stayed up all night reading through it. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Tim Tebow is a two-time national champion, first round NFL draft pick and Heisman Trophy winner. After playing in the NFL for the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets, Tebow joined the SEC Network. In addition to his role on SEC Nation, the network's traveling road show, Tebow also contributes to a variety of other ESPN platforms. Tebow is pursuing a new professional career in baseball and has recently signed a contract with the New York Mets. Through everything Tebow’s true passion remains the work of the Tim Tebow Foundation, which he began in 2010. The foundation's mission is to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. The foundation is fulfilling that mission every day by serving thousands of deserving children around the world.

It has two parts that you snap in place, screw together and it features a built-in screen cover. It does take a few minutes to put the phone securely in the case, but once in, it does not wiggle or move around. I have mixed feelings because the case is so bulky and makes the phone super big. I also do not like the built-in screen protector. While it adds protection, it does not feel great to touch.
