Vegan Comfort classics by Lauren Toyota

If anything can convince me that vegan food is delicious it is this book. I like meat a lot and feel like a lot of vegan recipes are poor substitutes but  this book sets out to prove that vegan recipes can be as good and sometimes I dare say can be better than their non-vegan counterparts,
Filled with amazing photography and delicious and healthy recipes this book is amazing.

Do you believe in true love?

In a world of broken relationships and hurting people, it can seem like all we ever see is heartache—that marriages are doomed from the start and romance isn’t worth the risk.

But heart-fluttering, long-lasting love is all around us…we just have to look for it!

This collection of beautiful, real-life accounts will bring laughter and tears as you enjoy each story of ordinary people who found extraordinary love. Page after page, you will find inspiration to

—rekindle the romance in your love story
—trust in God’s providence and timing
—faithfully hope for your own happily-ever-after
—celebrate true romance
—believe in life-long love

Don’t let the world define romance for you! See how God is at work in the hearts of His people—knitting together hearts in a love that forever endures.

My opinion: What a fabulous collection of real life romances! This book was so much fun to read as you read about real couples who have gone through so much and have prevailed and kept their romance alive and survived in a world riddled with divorce. I loved how this book had stories of couples from all different stages of life and circumstances, the stories really resonated with me and inspired me to think about my own marriage and how I can strive to always put God first. Engaging and encouraging this book is an excellent read.I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
