Kimberly Davis Books

I absolutely love this book! My children also love reading these poems.

The passion that resonates from those pages are like no other this book has that rare and honest quality that gets so lost today. This writer is truly creating a niche for herself. You gain so much just by getting a peak into her metamorphosis.

Take a journey into the compelling story of one woman's triumph over life's curve-balls only to achieve the ultimate dream.

The roller coaster ride of emotions that the author felt were portrayed in this book. I laughed and cried as she took us on her journey and battle with GOD often looking at myself.

I enjoyed this book very much. The author was able to capture how she was affected by her many losses and how she overcame the pain of those losses through prayer. Her story of faith is wonderfully inspirational.

Author Kimberly R. Davis has written her testimony in a short, non-fiction book titled, "All I Wanted Was a Baby." She shares her trials in efforts to conceive a child with her husband. She spoke of her desire to have a child of her own, being able to cuddle, nourish, and train him in the way he should go.

Unfortunately, after enduring nine miscarriages, her faith in God was shaken, and her desire turned into defeat. That is until after enduring the miscarriages and dealing with the emotional baggage and fading faith in God, was she able to carry her first son to term. All this was due to the prayers of her family and church family is Mrs. Davis' testimony. Not only was she able to finally have her first child, the Lord blessed her again and then again with sons numbers two and three!

Mrs. Davis' testimony is one to be admired and should give faith and hope to any woman who is having trouble conceiving and that through faith and prayers, God will bless you to have a child as well. The first thing I noted was at first inspection the book is a little deceiving unless you read the back cover. The front of the book gives you a visual of what appears to be a young teenager who might be trying to have a baby of her own. After reading the book, I was not convinced that the writer actually endured all she wrote about. The voice of the author "sounded" monotone, almost as if she were telling someone else's story and not her own. Immediately I had questions that were not answered in her book: "How did she feel other than defeated, and what does it mean to lose one's faith and in doing so, what happens?" I was looking for this short book of powerful testimony to have me in tears, praising God for the triumphs and going through this ordeal with the author.

Sorry to say that I would not recommend this book to someone who is going through a similar situation because it would leave them asking more questions than before they read the book.

While helping my son select & apply for colleges last year, we purchased this book as well as the companion volumes for U of Michigan and a few other schools.

After reading pages and pages of promotional material written by the universities themselves, it was great to see a more independent student's eye view.

Two aspects of these books that were surprising, but helpful. First, the books include many collections of direct quotes from students expressing their opinions on various aspects of the school. They are printed together verbatim. The comments are sometimes conflicting, which seems to reflect the "real world" aspects of selecting a school. As a simple example, the section on dorms and dorm foods includes quotes ranging from specific comments about individual dining halls pluses and minuses, to broad statements that the food is awful, to others with more favorable assessments. This seems to be a faithful reproduction of what you'd get if you asked the students yourself.

Second, it was interesting to read the books for 2 schools "side by side". When comparing MSU and U of M, it became clear how many aspects these two large Big Ten schools have in common - probably more than they differ.

Since my son has only been on campus at MSU for a few months, it may be too soon to say whether all the details are up to date, but overall the book's description of the school seems accurate. Meanwhile, the related volume on U of M appears to be up to date; we are residents of Ann Arbor and so are familiar with at least many of the townie related details.

I would recommend this book, as well as others in the series, highly for those in the undergrad college selection process. They provide a great counterpoint to the materials sent by the colleges themselves.

Our son (he is 3 1/2) loves this book. The book shows and explains five differant types of hammers. He asks which ones we have and when the book repeats the "sound" of the hammers hammering he "reads" along! If your child, boy or girl, likes to build with legos, etc., and is interested in construction toys this book would be a great buy!
P.S. My brother who works at home depot thinks its a great book too!

Mr. Billac takes a very casual literary approach to discussing a specialized family of herbs known as adaptogens. His primary focus is on the work of Dr. Israel Brehkman of the former Soviet Union. Dr. Brehkman, along with 1200 scientists, spent 45 years researching and developing a combination of rare herbs that help your body recover at a cellular level from stress (such as physical activity, work, illness, etc.). These products include Prime One and Brehkman's Gold. Billac's book elaborates on Brehkman's research, supporting testimony from people who have used the product, and general information about adaptogenic products. Overall, this is good reading if you are interested in health, wellness and/or the subject of adaptogens.

I recently finished this "book", and am utterly disappointed.
It is one part self-promotion, one part low-level introductory
information on adaptogens, and five parts infomercial for an
adaptogen-selling company, a multi-level marketer named "Prime
One".

Let me sum up the book for you:

1) I am Pete, a down-home, truth-telling writer
who writes about whatever I like, and I sell
alot more books than those so-called "good writers"
2) Adaptogens can help you "adapt". Since that's complicated
for us regular folks to understand, I'll spell it out
for you: "A-D-A-P-T".
3) Some guy named Brekhman did a lot of research on
this. I mean, a LOT. Know what I mean? A LOT. I won't
bother you with any details, just take my word for it.
4) A lot of other guys did a lot of research, too.
It's all good. You won't be needing any references,
just get yer adaptogens right here folks, yes indeedy,
step right up to Prime One.

5) Everything about adaptogens is great. You should
get some. But buy only from Prime One. They have
the secret formula. Really.
6) Want to know more? Read a study? Get some real
historical context? Come on, that's for eggheads,
regular folks like you and I don't need that
kind of info!

If you think I am joking, go ahead and waste some money
and time buying this book and see for yourself.

For me, a ten minute google search revealed much much
more than was in this book. Save your money on this
one, folks.

Having said all that, I *am* sold on adaptogens,
found lots of info on the 'net, and very likely
will try out a bit of the Prime One products.

But surely none of that was thanks to this book!

This was no where near the true life of being married to an officer! It is a disgrace to police wives and their husbands.

This book was awful. It had nothing at all to do with being married to the badge. Plus her grammar is horrible. There is no point to this book, unless you just like to read a bad book for the heck of it.

I have been married to a law enforcement officer for 10 years. This book is everything to do with a woman who is self absorbed, and nothing to do with being married to a cop. It should have been titled "I have nothing else to do with my life, so hey, why not write a stupid book". If anyone wants to know what it is like being married to the badge, you are better off staying far away from this book and talking to some real LEO wives. My disappointment in this book is extreme. I am actually angry at the writer for using that title. It is not at all about being married to a Cop.

Not sure who proof read this book- if anyone! The grammar and spelling is horrible. There are tons of typos. Putting those errors aside, the book lacked taste and I was disappointed in it.

Read 50 pages into the book, and then was glad my K-9 ate it. This isn't what I would consider a police-family help book. From what I managed to grind my way through, this should be in the adult-only fiction section...or used to help level the tables in the Amazon employee breakroom. If you're in the market for police family titles, stick with "I Love a Cop" or "Cops Don't Try".
