Enjoy a good-sized, healthy dessert (the size of a standard muffin, cupcake, or two large cookies) without feeling guilty.

This is a really nicely written cookbook. I loved the fact it has tons of photos throughout the book showing you what the end result should look like. So many cookbooks either don't have photos included or they're so small you cannot see them. There are quite a few recipes that I'm looking forward to trying out. While I'm not on a diet nor counting calories, I enjoyed the book. I'm always looking for new recipes to try.

I give this book 4 stars out of a total of 5.

Service Station Angel by Lisa J Schuster

Service Station Angel By Lisa J. Schuster

About the Book:

Sometimes God places you in a situation of great perplexity, but you perceive His intentions are premeditated and purposeful. Do you trust His lead? "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes." - Psalms 37:7 (NIV) Ernie Price is a middle-aged, humble-hearted man who owns and operates a service station in a rural Midwest town in Upper Michigan, back in a time when full service was the only service, and you got your windows cleaned and your tires pumped for free. Ernie's life has been a reflection of God's love, giving of himself fully and graciously to people in the community and his church. As music director for the children's choir or hosting the yearly Christmas party for the less-fortunate children in town, Ernie impacted lives and was loved by many. When trouble rocks the small town and Ernie is physically incapacitated to offer his help, the community is left to pick up the pieces, mourn, and move on, while Ernie wrestles with the spiritual questions of his accident:
My glimpse of heaven is for what purpose on earth?
Why do I feel compelled to help this stranger know the love of the Lord? Who is this stranger anyway?
This heartwarming story of love, faithful forgiveness and following God's perfect plan, will inspire and delight!
80c6dd3e31f90a82390bef.L._V366868119_SX200_Faith, family and friends inspired Lisa J. Schuster to write again and God nudged her to publish her first novel, Service Station Angel. She believes the words in this book are her service to others, so that they may find joy and comfort during a season of time when they need it most. "May your hand reach up towards His so that you may touch another with Jesus' abundant love," prays Lisa. Lisa lives in Highlands Ranch, Colorado with her husband and two children. She enjoys creative writing, traveling, working with inner city youth, bible study groups, singing and theater.
