The Sex Talk You Never Got: Reclaiming the Heart of Masculine Sexuality by Sam Jolman Book Review

 

 

The Sex Talk You Never Got, Sam Jolman has written a book to try and help men to embrace their sexuality and rediscovering their heart. The book shared stories on how parents taught their children about sex and how some didn’t. One study in 2017 revealed that 70% of 18 to 25 years old wish their parents would have gone over sex and romance more. He explained how as man our sexuality is in trouble and it’s being neglected. Many people feel they must hide their sexuality and that it is a burden. They feel shamed for being sexuality. Evil has warped our perception and has twisted God’s desire for human sexuality.   

 

 

He takes the approach that our sexuality is a gift that is meant to be blessed. God stated that it was good on day six but sin eventually entered the world. In the book, he explored what is sex and how it is intended to be playful. He compares it to the stage and how it follows a script. He clarified that our bodies go through different arousal cycles and it like a story following the plot and climax. He looked at scriptures and how a king spotted Isaac and Rebekah playing together. He goes into the Song of Songs and how these poems are testimony of love. He helped readers to see how sex is meant to be pleasurable and not just for bringing in new life into this world. He shared how they suffered a few miscarriages and when they had a focus to get pregnant it was robbing them of pleasure. The playtime was lacking. He touched on being humble and serving one another in the bedroom. And learning how to be better lovers. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book discussing our sexuality to all men who are confused and they feel ashamed for having sexual thoughts and desires. Sex was meant to be pleasing and bring us closer to our lovers. This book has the power to help readers to recheck ourselves and find out what the true message of sex we should be receiving. I appreciated how he touched on the topic of shame and tried to help men realize the truth about sexuality. I think this book is a good lesson in reminding parents on how to discuss sex and sexuality. Maybe even teach them a new approach.

Time Machine: Five Decisions to Accelerate Your Success Timeline and Live a Thousand Live by Kris Krohn Book Review

In Time Machine, Kris Krohn has written a new book about managing our time and learning to get our focus back on what matters. He begins the book by explaining time is not money. A lot of us believe that time is valuable. We all have the same amount of time in a day, 1440 minutes. He revealed how we need to know when to say yes to things and when to say no thanks and move on. He looked at how we can accumulate money and we can do this by saving, investing, and spending. He explained how only 16% of Americans have $200,000 in retirement and this can lead to a problem of having very little to live off of. In the book, he shared that his company grew by 200% while he was writing this book. He chooses to work Mondays, Tuesday, and Thursday. Wednesday is bliss day, Friday kid day, Saturday his day, and Sunday Lord’s Day. He feels that making more money shouldn’t require us from having to spend more of our time. He opened up about his different jobs and buying real estate. He explored the lens system and came up with two new standards: delegation and yes. He walks readers through how to discovered how to use their time more wisely. 

 

 

 

 

I would recommend this eye-opening book about time and figuring how what matters. I honestly don’t see how he is able to personally work only three days a week and gets to spend that much time with his family compared to others who work way over that many hours. Maybe this is a struggle for me. I thought this part was kind of crazy. I appreciated how he revealed how we need to only say yes to the activities that will benefit us that is twice as much as our highest hourly rate. He enclosed some examples to show the lessons in action.

I'll Have What She's Having by Chelsea Handler Book Review

In I'll Have What She's Having, Chelsea Handler opened up about her life story and added humor in the mix. As many people know, Chelsea is a famous comedian and was a late-night TV host. So, this book is filled with funny stories and she doesn’t hold anything back. She revealed a personal story she experienced with Jane Fonda and how she wasn’t afraid to be real and call Chelsea out on her behavior at one of her parties. She blamed her and didn’t appreciate the drugs she was on at the time. She told her to watch herself and not to allow her environment to ruin her. She told her with her gifts she could easier throw them all in the trash if she wasn’t careful. She also discussed her dating life and her struggles with not having kids. She opened up about her attraction to Andrew Cuomo and how she tried to get his attention with sexting and later learned how he behaved behind closed doors. 

 

 

 

 

One of her first stories was about hard lemonade. When she was ten years old, she decided to make money by opening up a lemonade business. She asked her older sister to join her and she demanded 50-50. Chelsea would be the primary business owner and she would make the tough decisions. She chose to add gin, whiskey, and tequila to the hard lemonade. The first day they made 13 dollars and she had to split it. Chelsea hated that so she chose to fire her. She found her replacement, Nelson a neighbor. The first day they made 33 dollars. The first week it turned into 359 and she gave him $3.59 as his commission. He was proud of the payment and compared that he would have to have lost 5 teeth to the tooth fairy to make that much. She admired his work ethic but she didn’t have the heart to tell him the tooth fairy wasn’t real. 

 

 

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys humor and they have watched her show before or one of her specials. This book enclosed tons of humorous scenes and no doubt she acts just as crazy in real life. There was dating stories, sex, love, breakup, step-like kid’s experiences, and all sorts of things. Some of the stories are naughty and some are just down right outrageous. I liked how she was transparent about her life and wasn’t scared to be real and open. Fans will enjoy the humor and getting to see some of her life and stories.

Chosen: Your Life Is Marked for Distinction by Joel Osteen Book Review

In Chosen, Joel Osteen has written a book reminding readers that God approves us and that He has handpicked us and He has given us a calling on our lives. The book is derived from material previously published in The Power of I Am and The Power of Favor. The book begins with Joel explaining how we are all marked for distinction. When we choose to put God first in our lives, God can cause favor to fall on our lives. Scriptures declare how we are chosen and set apart from others. He can cause blessing to occur, promotions we didn’t earn, prosper when we shouldn’t be, all of these can happen because of whose we are. Joel also shared how important it is to run your own race. We have our only special assignment from God. We don’t have to compete with others and try to keep up with them. Instead, we need to focus on what God has called us to do. We don’t have to have an incredible gift to be used by God even. He stated how David was chosen for his personality and his ability to sling a rock. The gift helped him to defeat Goliath and help him to get promoted on the throne. 

 

 

 

In the book, Joel shared an email he received from Rudy. Her and her husband, George was trying different recipes to make gumbo. They found one they loved and started to sell it door to door. One day, they saw a commercial from a large grocery store hosting a cooking competition. Whoever won would be featured on their store shelves. Out of 600 submissions they were in the top 25. They unfortunately didn’t win the grand prize. They attend Lakewood Church and that Sunday Joel was discussing how God doesn’t take us from point A to B to C sometimes it’s back and forth and can take a while. After a few months, they received a phone call from the grocery store saying that they would like to feature their product and display it in their stores. God accelerated their dreams even when it appeared that door was shut. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to anyone is needing a reminder of the special calling on their lives. They may feel insignificant and less than but this book will provide you with the hope that God has chosen us. This book is very insightful on helping us to realize that God’s face is shining down on us and His favor is all around us. God chose our personality, our looks, and our purpose where we can fulfill our destiny. We are all God’s masterpiece and this book will remind you of how important you are.

In the book, she discussed her fertility issues with her first husband. She only had one good egg for implanting. She had about a 1% chance of becoming pregnant. She explained how she felt the need to pray. She grew up not believing in God and didn’t really pray. She prayed big and bold and believed for a miracle. She did end up getting pregnant with her son. She shared how her faith was a slow start even after that event. She revealed how her marriage failed and how she had to lean onto her faith. She begins to attend Lakewood Church and received Christ into our heart. She explained how she wants readers to abandon fear and a big part of this is by building faith in Jesus. 

 

 

 

I would recommend this book especially to women since they are the target audience. She had a lot of tips and suggestions on makeup and hair and style tips. Readers will be able to learn a lot about fashion and how to regain your confidence. I liked how she also explored the importance of faith and making over your own life inwardly.
