Reviews
I do a lot of reading, so I figured I would take a stab at doing book reviews of purposeful and life refining books at 1Glories. Although, “reviews” is a loosely used definition here. While they are reviews, they don’t follow the typical review pattern of an introduction followed by what’s good and what’s bad. I tend to add personal reflections, take-a-ways, and a story or two that helps provide context.

Life Refining Quotes from Life Refining Books
I’ve written posts that were inspired by books. I’ve done reviews of several. To help others at refining life, on purpose, I went through many of my favorite books to hand-select quotes I found particularly useful. I’d love to share them with you from time to time over the next 40 days.
While I don’t do music and movie reviews as often, I have done a couple. With music, I tend to find songs that inspire, compel and provoke me to a certain sentiment. That series is something I call #Praylist because they are prayerful words and emotions that would find a permanent place on my playlist.
