Common Grounds: Contemplation, Confessions, and (Unexpected) Connections from the Coffee Shop
"Am I the only one?"
That question sent Lee Warren on a pilgrimage in which he visited 30 coffee shops in Omaha, Nebraska. This collection of 30 heartfelt essays about love, loss, loneliness, and a deep need for connection is the result.
He ended up spending $136.42 on coffee and a few donuts, but it was a small price to pay for the commonality he felt between the patrons, baristas, and himself. And standing on common ground gave him strength in the most unexpected of ways.
Maybe it will do the same for you.

Each devotional is followed by insightful questions that encourage both practical and spiritual reflection, making this is a must read for any single who desires greater fulfillment and longs for wholeness.
Because my wife and I began dating when I was eighteen and we married when I was twenty-one, I have difficulty relating to the situations of men and women who find themselves single or single again in their late twenties, early thirties and beyond.

I have an interest in this book but I must say it's fun, beautifully presented and boxed, and full of thoughtful moments with appropriate Bible verses.
It's not a heavy theological exposition but it's a very pleasant and inspirational read. It makes an excellent gift (being faux leather bound and coming in a nice presentation box) and I gave one to my son before he joined the army. I hope when he comes back there will be some interesting thoughts written in the journal columns
All of the authors are listed. They even have short individual biographies. –David Mclaughlin

Chicken Soup for the Soup NASCAR
Fans will be inspired, surprised, and amused by these inside stories from the race track and pit. Drivers, their families, pit crews, and fans share their behind-the-scene stories to give readers a front row view of the sport.
Get behind the driver’s seat with these personal tales and anecdotes from inside the race track. Famous drivers and their families, pit crews, and fans share their stories of perseverance, triumph, comebacks, and life on and off the track.
Lee Warren contributed to this compilation.
Although I am an avid NASCAR fan, upon finishing this book, I came to the realization that you don't even have to know what NASCAR stands for to appreciate the stories and messages conveyed within the pages. I will admit some background on driver deaths would be very helpful information if I didn't know the history as well as I do. ... My favorite story is also one of the shortest in the book. "Special Delivery" will make you think twice about that big brown truck when you see it next time I guarantee. Definitely the saddest story in the book in my opinion (page 33- I've had so many people read it I've put the page to memory). If you've ever read Chicken Soup books, you'll know what to expect with the wide variety of topics discussed, and if you're a NASCAR fan, you'll enjoy the NASCAR ties expressed in each story. Definitely worth the price. –R. Chambers
