BOOK REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY: MORNING SUNSHINE--How To Radiate Confidence And Feel It Too by Robin Meade
If you are having a problem with your self-image or you just want to feel more confident, you may want to read Robin Meade's new book, Morning Sunshine!--How To Radiate Confidence And Feel It Too.
"Robin Meade's millions of fans know her as the composed, upbeat host of HLN's Morning Express with Robin Meade. But before she was a household name, she, like countless other Americans, struggled with anxiety attacks and an erosion of self-confidence."
"In Morning Sunshine! Robin divulges, with trademark candor, how she fought through fears that nearly derailed her career. She reveals what made her question her abilities and her very purpose. She shares how she reawakened her passion for life and grew into the beloved TV news personality she is today."
"Robin offers inspiring 'What I've Learned' nuggets in each chapter and helpful 'Confidence Booster' tips throughout the book. Her personal journey comes to life in a way that makes you feel as if you're chatting with a friend over coffee."
"Her refreshing sense of humor--and her belief that you can emerge a bolder, more confident version of yourself--make Morning Sunshine! a perfect companion on your road to self-esteem and fulfillment."
I found two things I didn't like about this book: (1) At times--too many times, she uses coarse and offensive words. I realize these are acceptable and "good" words by today's standards but I still don't respect a person who chooses to use them on a regular basis. (2) She was blessed by the philosophy of healing she received from Dr. Amelia Case. Dr. Case studied under John Demartini one of the experts you may know from the DVD or book, The Secret. I'm glad Robin was helped by this philosophy and some of it is good but I do not accept much of what is taught. I realize these two things may not be major and will be considered "picky" by many but I want my review to be an honest one.
You will find this book interesting and enjoyable to read and hopefully you will feel and radiate confidence after reading it.

Clif,
I am so glad for your honesty about your books. You not only share what you like about the book but if there is anything you don't like you share it with us as well and also why not!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Nice to catch up on your blog again. We've been traveling much of the summer and not able to utilize the internet.
Happy Fall.
I appreciate your honest review; this is not one for me.
That was a great review, Clif...thank you for giving the pros and the cons...I think I would have the same reaction as you did. I have studied psychology in school, and always found that the same principles are found in scripture...I do think that sometimes we can miss it, though, so there is value in books like this. God uses many ways to teach us His truth, but we need discernment. I wanted to ask you if you've read The Shack. My book club did, but I didn't, and wonder if I should have...it seems to have received very good reviews, but it didn't sound like something I would enjoy. Wonder what you think. God bless,
Mary
Thanks for the comment on The Shack, Clif. I'll borrow it from someone and try to read it...I hope I'm not too narrow minded to do so. I am thoroughly enjoying the book that I won, "God Will do the Rest". Its a great book for sitting with a cup of tea in the morning...one gives me a boost to think about the needs of the day, and the other one gives me the calm to leave it all in God's hands!
Blessings,
Mary
As always - I love your posts.

Clif, I appreciate your honesty about this book but I probably wouldn't read it. So, I'll pass on this one. Have a wonderful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
I've enjoyed the review. The only reason I didn't make a comment sooner was I missed this post! Thanks for mentioning it again!
