Brant and Sherri are smart, funny, witty, uplifting, theologically knowledgeable, wise, the best friends we all pray to have. Listening to their show brings me hope and direction, and helps me to be a better follower of Christ, spouse, parent, daughter and friend. And they make me laugh. A lot :D

Story
Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a 21-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from 45 years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.”

Eye roll
Reviewed: 06-07-23
Like a comedian without enough talent who just laces the act with profanity for a cheap laugh, Whelan throws in crude sexual references. She does have writing talent and should be confident enough to leave out the cheap sex. Eye-rolling and over the top descriptions of everything. Too caricatured.

I have had delightful visits to penguin colonies in South America and have seen penguins swim in the waters of Antarctica. I loved hearing about the Ad֎lie colonies on land in Antarctica. Wonderful story of love and resiliency in both the human and penguin population:)

GREAT STORIES BUT....

Two books, two different reviews
Reviewed: 05-09-23
Springtime in Salt River had an okay story but was filled with unnecessary gratuitous sex that birds me and I fast forwarded through. Love Thine Enemy was much better. The story was interesting and the author didn't use cheap sex scene filler.

Karen Fine always knew that she wanted to be a vet and wasn't going to let anything stop her: not her allergy to cats, and not the fact that in the '80s veterinary medicine was still a mostly male profession. Inspired by her grandfather, a compassionate doctor who paid house calls to all his (human) patients, Dr. Fine persevered, and brought her Oupa's principles into her own practice, which emphasizes the need to understand her patients’ stories to provide the best possible care.

This book is depressing and disjointed. A large percentage is devoted to death, dying, and sadness.
Also, her statements regarding her liberal politics were unnecessary and disappointing to the half of the animal-loving population who are conservative.
With her years of experience as a veterinarian, this could have been filled with interesting stories that were not all so depressing. It seemed to be a lot about her and a sort of catharsis for her.
