Winnie Book #1 Wild Thing Book Review

I just finished reading this book last night.  Winnie by Dandi Daley Mackall is a Christian horse fiction for young readers.  The character, Winnie Willis, is a 12 year old lover of horses.  She knows her stuff to! 

There was one disturbing part that I felt should have been kept out.  When Winnie takes a job answering questions about horses through email, she decides to open up to a customer called Hawk.  She tells this stranger more than I think she should at 12 years old.

Other than that part, the book was good.  I can't say excellent, I have read better horse books.  I like that there were Bible verses used in the book and references to how much God loves us. 

All in all, this is a book I will keep for my daughter to read.  We may even have to get the rest of the series!

A Place Called Blessing Book Review

This was a GREAT book!  Now I have to be careful what I say so I don't spoil anything for anyone who wants to read it.  YOU SHOULD TOTALLY READ THIS BOOK!!

One of the best books that I have read in a long time.  This story is unbelievable and well written. 

A book written to prove each person's worth in this world.  God has a purpose for us all.  Everything happens for a reason.  Most of us don't get to see what happens in the bigger picture.  A Place Called Blessing puts that all into perspective.

I definitely recommend this read to EVERYONE! 

WHY HAVEN'T YOU READ IT YET?

Is the Bible Reliable DVD Review

I was given a 2 disc DVD called Is the Bible Reliable to review from Tyndale.  This was a very interesting study.  I really enjoyed it.  It was like I was sitting in the classroom learning with those much younger kids.  The video is put out by Focus on the Family through their Truth Project.  

This was the 2nd in a series, and I definitely want to buy the rest of them!  There were 10 sessions on these 2 discs.  Included was a study guide.  This cute little book fit right into the trendy little box that the DVD and book came in.

Being as these videos are in a college classroom, the instructor definitely taught a lot of historical facts.  That is one of my favorite subjects!  Mix history in with religion and I'm hooked!

I would recommend this series of DVDs to my friends and family.  In fact, I would also recommend this for a teen or adult Bible study group.  I am keeping this video to add to my library and can't wait to get the rest!

Love and War by John & Stasi Eldredge Book Review

I tried really hard to like this book.  I just couldn't.  It was just way to slow or something for me. 

I did find some interesting points in the book.  One was that children of divorced families don't fare in life as well as children who grew up with a family intact.  But that was a statistic that most people are already aware of I think.

Another interesting point that I liked was this quote:

We want to be able to offer something to our spouses out of a full heart, and not merely bring them our need.

That is always a good reminder to me.  I tend to just want want want out of my marriage.  I have to remind myself that I have to do some things for him too.

It's not all about me!

That's what I always tell the kids.  "It's not all about you!"

I'm sure there are many readers out there that will enjoy this book and use it to help their marriage grow in Christ.

Imaginary Jesus by Matt Mikalatos Book Review

This was a very odd book.  The story was very out there for me.  There were Jesuses popping up all over the place.  Meticulous Jesus, Traditional Jesus, New Age Jesus, Free Will Jesus and lots more.  It was all very confusing.

I think that the point of this story is that we need to get to know the REAL Jesus.  Not ones that we make up in our mind to fit the image or thoughts that we want.  We need to search for Him and only follow that Jesus.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone to read though.  I think if someone is searching for Jesus, this book would only add to the confusion.  There is not a whole lot more I can say about this book.

Desecration by Tim Lahaye & Jerry B. Jenkins Book Review

This is book nine of the Left Behind series by authors Tim Layahe and Jerry B. Jenkins.  In all there are 12 books.  The action and truth packed into these books are so exciting! 

Desecration tells the story of the remaining Jews that are still alive after the 3 1/2 years that started the Tribulation period.  God, of course, is going to protect the Jews and get them to the land of safety.  How this is done is edge-of-your-seat-exciting!

Chaim Rosenzweig is now posing as Micah, and leads the People out of the Antichrist's grasp and into safety.  Rayford is flying helicopters and shooting high powered auxiliary that takes his hearing away.  I won't be a spoiler and tell you the miraculous way that he gets his hearing back though, you'll have to find that out for yourself.  Chloe is bored and tired of being left behind and goes out for her own adventure.

The story opens with the verse that ended The Mark, book eight.  Those who have received the mark of the Antichrist suffer from those boils and in places it is funny.

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, 'Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.' So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.             Revelation 16:1-2

I thoroughly enjoy these books and am anxiously waiting to read the other three!

No He Can't Book Review by Kevin McCullough

No He Can't by Kevin McCullough

This book had a lot of useful information in it.  Many things about Barack Obama that I did not know.  After learning those things, it opened my eyes more to the type of man and leader he is.  But this post isn't about my opinions of Obama, it's about the book

I have to say I was excited to read a book that told "how Barack Obama is dismantling hope and change".  But Kevin McCullough was very negative throughout the whole book.  I understand it is a book about what Obama does wrong, but I think it was more the way that McCullough said things.  He repeated a lot of stuff too.

It took me a long time to get through this book because of the way that it was written.  I wanted to know how Obama was dismantling our country, but this just doesn't seem the right book for me.  However I did find some good information in it.

All in all, I don't know if I would recommend this book to someone else.  Maybe someone with more political knowledge or more patience with reading governmental subjects.
