Writing a Book Review

My book arrived from Thomas Nelson Publishers! Title: This Is Your Brain On Joy : How The New Science Of Happiness Can Help You Feel Good And Be Happy, by Dr. Earl Henslin. I have flipped through and it looks like a book I will really enjoy reading. Not a good time for the book to arrive, but that is usually how things go in my world. I have a paper due on Friday, the topic and reading are rather dry. I pray God will shine a light through the dullness.
