How to Feed a Family of Four
When Your Money is Tight and Not Right !
by Juanita Brown

This little 83 page ditty was a pleasure to review. It was like getting an autobiography and a cookbook all rolled into one. There were many things that appealed to me about this book and one of them was the compassion throughout this great read as the author helped us to realize we weren't alone and then gave us helpful and simple ways to make the food budget stretch just that little bit further.

The show more recipes were great, taken from easy to find ingredients, many found at your local dollar store. We were lovingly taught how to make barbecue sauce, pasta, muffins and other yummy stuff. I was struck by the author's courage under fire and I would recommend this blessed guide to anyone who finds themselves scared and struggling financially during these unpredictable times. Thanks Juanita, for this much needed breath of fresh air.

World Cafe is one of those books that I didn't really enjoy reading, but did love the message. The basic premise is centered around developing meaningful conversations on "questions that matter". The book discusses the necessary principles to developing these conversations and then lays out some of the logistical steps one can use to get at those discussions. It's almost more of a how-to book than anything else and I guess I didn't expect that.

The methods used aren't really revolutionary on show more the surface, but I suspect that they could be extraordinarily effective. The goal is to have engaged conversations that get things done. As an administrator, that can be one of the hardest tasks imaginable. It's pretty easy coming up with ideas, but to get engagement, well that's another story.

I haven't used World Cafe yet and haven't really seen it in practice, but I'm eager to do so in the very near future. show less

Powerful facilitating approach to foster open conversations in a friendly environment.
