Books: Boarders and Books A Million News

Beyond Borders

On Sunday, the last Borders and Waldenbooks stores closed their doors forever. Many eulogies and obituaries have been written about the company. Our own analysiswas published in February, when Borders declared bankruptcy-and the writing was already on the wall. CNN also had a more recent, thoughtful tribute.

Now many booksellers are stepping in to fill some of the gaps left by the collapse of the company that once had 1,400 locations across the country. Many indies are reaching out to former Borders customers in a variety of ways (see Powell’s Books‘ particularly direct invitation below!), with special offers, with deals for Borders Rewards members, with reminders that there are other stores eager for their business.

Some booksellers are literally moving into Borders and Walden spaces. For example, Ferguson Books & Media, Grand Forks, N.D., just opened a second store in a former Walden location at the Columbia Mall. Likewise, Rivendell Books, Montpelier, Vt., has opened a second store, in space that used to house a Walden, in the Berlin Mall. And Bookworks, Whitefish, Mont., will open a branch next month in Kalispell, where a Borders just closed.

Today Books-A-Million takes over the leases of 14 Borders stores after having made an offer in bankruptcy court that wasn’t refused. The chain has also taken over nearly as many other old Borders and Walden sites by dealing directly with landlords.

Many booklovers will miss Borders, but they shouldn’t forget that there are plenty of other bookstores with thousands of booksellers who know their stuff and eager to talk about and recommend books. And even for those of you who read most books digitally, so long as you don’t have a Kindle, you can buy e-books from most bricks-and-mortar bookstores both instore and online

Beth Moore Book Review

08 Aug

So Long Insecurity Group Experience by Beth Moore. I wish to say that Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book in 2011.

This is a great resource companion book to go along with the book. I highly recommend it as it helps to look up scriptures and have a group discussion on our Insecurities. This book will help encourage woman as they work through their own struggles with insecurity and learn to grow in the knowledge of God’s word and his solutions for permanent change.

I would recommend this book to all small groups, bible study groups, in a home study course and through any ministry related to Christ and Learning to overcome Insecurity.

I think it is wonderful to have scriptures to help cure our insecurities. For example, in Philippians 4:6-9 it states, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” (NIV BIBLE)

Beth Moore is an author and Bible teacher of best-selling Bible studies and books for women. She is the founder of Living Proof Ministries and speaker at Living Proof Live women’s events across the US. Beth’s mission is to guide women everywhere into a richer, more fulfilling relationship with Jesus.

Headline for Book Review: How to Overcome your Challenges

Quote: “Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.” ~John Wooden~

Valorie Burton does a wonderful job with this book helping others to move ahead in their lives when life seems to be at a standstill. I have been through some of the most challenging times in my life as a single mother and this book really would help anyone out who needs to be encouraged through their peaks and valleys of life. I remember my life going so smoothly and then one day my husband asked me for a divorce and Valorie tells real life stories of how to overcome adversity in this book with clients she has had to counsel of her professional life.

In her own personal life she says, “This will not destroy me. I believe in God. On the other side of this challenge, I will be a better and stronger person.” As Valorie talks of her own personal story she also guides you with your unexpected life challenges. She gives the tools, question, and answers when facing setbacks which include:

* The Five Commitments

* Step by Step Guide

* Strategies

* Conquer

* Negativity

* Exercises

In my opinion we all go through setbacks whether it is a job loss, natural disaster, divorce, lay off, illness or though a mid life crisis. Valorie is wonderful at expression and giving helpful insights that worked for her and her clients. As a Christian I really loved her talk about scripture references as my guide to conquering my adversities now and for further references. This book is thought provoking and would be a great study guide for small groups.

Valorie Burton is a certified personal and executive coach. Her other book is “what’s really holding you back?” She has also contributed to Essence, Woman’s Day, and The Oprah Magazine. She resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Her website is [...]
