BookBub “Love’s Transformation & “Love’s Sacrifice” by Toh
I do many reviews of books. If an author sends me a book – I read fully, engross myself in it, or struggle through it and evaluate it for how it affects, educates, touches me internally, excites, motivates or moves me this way or that. I review every book I have ever read for decades now and post them on Amazon and other sites.
My personal library of books read – is quite extensive and covers many topics, both fantasy and reality; and history and fiction. Politics, personal stories, science fiction, Love, and on and on.
Here I want to talk about the two books mentioned above “Love’s Transformation” and “Love’s Sacrifice” by EMIL TOTH. I Loved them! That is not a pun on their foundational principle of “LOVE” – But the cold hard reality in my heart and mind and my very soul.
I cannot tell you how much Mr. Toth’s works inwardly affect me, they move me, challenge me, change me and cause me to reevaluate myself, my beliefs, my character and my own way of thinking about the world. As I have told him – they do not – change my personal belief systems – but they are so captivating and riveting that it is impossible not to come back to them at every available possible moment to follow the characters and theme of the work.
The Five Star rating on Amazon – would easily be six if I could give it! I simply love reading his work. It is by far the best writing and construction and publishing – I have ever reviewed. And it is important for possible readers to consider several things when deciding to pick these marvelous tales up and dive into them.
1. I would not write so much if – they – did not touch me in a myriad of different positive ways.
2. I tend to phase into the stories like something out of Star Trek or the Jedi powers – in the Star Wars Series. I actually become the characters and Mr. Toth is so good at helping you do this – that you hunger to move on in the plot. You find yourself easily talking to yourself and the characters both good and bad – which is exactly what a book like this is supposed to do. So they touch you on many, many, many levels and raise many feelings and impressions and thoughts – all while you re being dragged gleefully along in your perception of the reality of the book and the plot of his epic tales.
3. I tell everyone I evaluate honestly, straightforwardly and tell all the ways it affects me – so I hope viewers do not take them as a negative – for they are actually very positive overall.
4. Even as a Christian nothing in here offends me in either of these books. How I feel about the world means nothing to me in evaluating his books. I sometimes allow my personal self to bleed into my reviews – but I ABSOLUTELY LOVED both of these Books – and will cherish them for the rest of my life.
5. And any others he might publish or send my way. If I took a picture of my shelves people would see them displayed prominently there – with a few other books – I cherish almost as much.
6. Pure and simple – MR TOTH TELLS wonderful stories – he write wonderful books, his format is superb and user/reader friendly and he publishes better than any other author or publisher – I have picked up to date. In short his books are the best!
7. I was so engrossed in the story presented in these two books “Love’s Transformation” and “Love’s Sacrifice” that I have not stopped mentally and emotionally re-pondering them over and over and over again – ever since – I began them. And although it has faded a little now with time – they have been on my mind almost constantly since closing the last page of each and sending in my reviews.
They both touched, move, influence, challenge, and deeply impress me. Absolutely two of the best books ever. Absolutely. I thank him for challenging me and making me think! God Bless and Keep him and a Very Merry Christmas! Very Respectfully,
Jim Ledbetter Sr.
