Whistlestop Book Review: "Love Food & Live Well" by Chantel Hobbs

Chantel Hobbs knows first-hand the pain of being morbidly obese. She also knows what it takes to take the weight off and keep it off. She shares that information in Love Food & Live Well.


Want a body image you can live with? If you're ready to commit to your own health, Chantel has a deal for you. Does weight loss have to be painful? On the contrary. Chantel maintains you can indulge in foods you love, but in the context of a balanced perspective. 


With engaging style and heart-warming compassion, Chantel takes readers by the hand and imparts her vision for a better life.  She provides insight into adopting a healthy relationship with food and encouragement for those reluctant to exercise. 


Love Food and Live Well covers the body mind and soul while giving practical advice on nutrition, weight loss and exercise. With quick and easy recipes, tips on minimizing carbohydrate intake and chapters on interval training and use of an exercise ball, Love Food & Live Well can well prove a life-changing book for many.  


I highly recommend Love Food and Live Well by Chantel Hobbs for adult readers who want to enjoy life while they improve it.

Whistlestop Wednesday Book Review: "Rooms" by Jim Rubart

What would you do?

What if a house you inherited is more than it seems? What if doors appear out of nowhere and lead to rooms filled with mystery? What if your life changed daily in unimagined ways? For Seattle software tycoon, Micah Taylor, these questions are not academic. An uncle he's never met leaves him a house in Canon Beach on the Oregon Coast. Micah determines to sell the home, especially since it's located in a place that holds powerful memories for him. But after a visit, and after meeting Sarah Sabin in a local ice cream shop, he can't quite let go.

Micah walks a fine line between darkness and light, pain and healing, death and life. He faces a choice between two worlds, but first he must fight a battle with spiritual consequences.

Enter the strange and wonderful world of Jim Rubart's "Rooms." I highly recommend this life-changing book for adult and young adult readers.

Whistlestop Wednesday Book Review: Lost Mission

In a passion-filled tale, Athol Dickson explores questions of faith while exposing raw truths. Lupe, a simple Mexican shop keeper, is called by her beloved "Senor" to preach to her northern neighbors, the lost Americanos. With her she brings an ancient artifact cloaked in mystery. Lupe meets and touches many people in her quest, but none of them are just what they seem. Even Lupe hides secrets. Finally, an evil lying dormant for two hundred years arises to threaten the very people Lupe has come to save.

Working back and forth between the eighteenth century and modern times, Lost Mission interweaves its mysteries into a complex fabric pieced together by an Indian man with shining hair. Although the author moves through time with ease, I had a little trouble at first following him, since it required I disengage from one time frame to enter another. I can't imagine this book written any other way, however, and I did become accustomed to the pattern. While the story and characters involve the reader, this is not a warm, fuzzy book that leaves you sighing in pleasure. Lost Mission, instead, will challenge you to examine your own faith and the truths upon which you rely. It will cause you to embark on a quest all your own.
