Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage offers the reader a humorous look at marriage and different situations that couples are faced with. Rick and Bubba are known for their comical stories and personalities, so it was no surprise that this book offered was funny. The book discussed many different aspects of marriage, including raising children, visiting the in-laws, and what to wear to social gatherings.

This book was an easy-read because it was very funny. I kept turning the pages because I wanted to read more about Rick & Bubba's personal experiences and what they would have done differently. I would suggest this book for any dating or married couple who has a good sense of humor. Many of the topics were presented in a humorous tone, yet they were all serious subjects.

Fearless, by Max Lucado

Fearless, by Max Lucado is a book that gives readers simple reminders and instructions about having a fearless life. Life is filled with many fears, and many of the fears we experience are mentioned in this book. This book is applicable for anyone, regardless of their age or current situation, as fear is an emotion that everyone experiences. After reading this book, some of the ideas were adapted into a Sunday School lesson series for teenagers.

I enjoyed reading this book because the author provided many personal experiences and real-life situations about fear, and then he taught the reader how to overcome fear with biblical means. I would encourage people to read this book regardless of their current situation; whether they are in fearful situation now or it is lurking around the corners, I believe everyone can benefit from the information presented in this book.
