The Map - A Book Review

I have finished another book since my last review, well, several actually. This calls for a new book review on The Map, by David Murrow

The book starts out as a Thriller, trying to get a reader engaged into the book by means of suspense. Throughout this action based story, David is describing the role of the main character as if everything actually happened to him. During the story, David is looking for a map. This map leads to the key of great success and is wanted by people who know of its existence, and will do almost anything to get it. David learns of the map, and finds it. The story continues from there and then leads on to a section of teaching from the map.

The book does a great job at keeping the reader interested, even after all of the action stuff stops. This book can be very applicable for those who are looking for a change in how they lead their spiritual lives. Even those who think they are all set may find that a shift in the way they "walk up the mountain." A good book for anyone who wants a intense read in either a thriller or a spiritual book.

Being Evil

Trying to figure out our rooming situation for next year. We are short one roommate, and I feel like the other might drop as well. I might just be pessimistic about it. However, trying to get TJ to live with us and drop his current roommate. The thing is, he wants to drop the roommate. There is no way around it, he wants to get out and live with us.

We just need to push his buttons. Get him to get out of the place he feels obligated to stay in, and go to the place he wants to live with. If he lives with us, he will probably avoid suicide. It is also an awkward situation as of now, as Minn already knows TJ wants to leave him. Is it evil? Perhaps. Is it fun? Oh yes.

Evernote

Now here is something that makes me excited. The world is getting more and more mobil and unfortunately I am not able to participate with that so much, as I do not have any portable device with 3G. I do have a mobil device that will allow me to hold notes and communicate online, but it works on wifi networks, and that can be a pain.

So, I am using this new program called Evernote, It allows for information to be taken down on the fly. They have clients to be downloaded to a compute and apps that will allow one to take pictures and upload them to your Evernote account. It has text recognition in pictures.

All in all this program is great for the mobil person on the go, and has great uses for anyone who is still confined to a desktop computer or even a laptop. Maybe I will blog more because of this. The only thing that I do not like about it is that it does not have any way to upload it to a blog... I hate having to do stuff manually.

Also got another book review coming up in the month.

A Thousand Miles in a Million Years - A Review

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years is the journey of Donald Miller as he takes an edit of his life. This direction takes place when Miller is visited by two movie makers who wish to make a movie on this life. While going through his movie, Miller realizes that his life does not live up to the one his character does and that his does not have as much meaning.

People who have read his other book Blue Like Jazz will recall many of the characters and memories he pulls throughout the book. Miller takes a much more solemn approach as he deals with more down to earth and serious topics.

I recommend this book to anyone who has enjoyed the book Blue Like Jazz. It’s still a good read if you haven’t read his other books. I would read this book again and recommend other people do as well.
