Plan B by: Pete Wilson Review

The layout and cover design of this book made me want to pick up this book and read it. The eye appealing cover art as well as the strategically placed note advising the reader there is a study guide included were both fantastic. "Plan B" by Pete Wilson challenged me. I've been a Christian for a few years. Still holding onto the dream of meeting and marrying the guy of my dreams I'd found myself at a place where I didn't see the next step. I felt as though I'd somehow hit the pause button as life continued to carry on. Reading the examples and the Bible stories Pete shared throughout his book, encouraged me to begin taking steps towards other dreams that for various reasons I had put on hold. I would recommend this book to both Christians as well as those who are looking for something. While waiting for my copy of this book to arrive, I began to Follow @PWilson on Twitter. His honesty and sincere attitude made me more excited to open this book. This is one of those books I know I will read again and again.
