New post

So...haven't blogged in ages.. dropped the BookSneeze, simply no time to read books I MIGHT like, esp when I can re-read those I do. So haven't accessed the blog in quite some time. Only reason I am here now is that i wanted to comment on someone else's blog and it made me sign in. Lol. Shhh.

That being said, maybe I'll start again...but probably not. I have never been big into journaling, etc and gosh knows I spend enough time posting to FB and a few other sites I have maintained over the years. BUT...just in case I might want to use this forum later, I'll try to pop in once in awhile and check in.

The Promises She Keeps by Erin Healy

This was such a good read for me. Promise is a young girl with a devastating disease..one that will eventually kill her. Porta is a modern day witch looking for the key to eternal life...and she thinks Promise is that key. Then there is Chase...a young man with autism who draws trees. Only they aren't really trees. His sister Chelsea has spent her entire life looking after him and now Chase is acting in ways that just are not "normal" for him. And then there is Zack...Portia's son, who may or may not be the bad boy he portrays.

This is a book that you will not want to put down, a book that has twists and turns that you don't expect and an ending that will wrench your heart. A keeper for sure!

I received this book free from the publisher through Book Sneeze and was not paid for my review. The opinions are my own

Fasting by Scot Mcknight

I found this book fascinating. I have long wondered about fasting and if there is any need for such a thing in my own spiritual life. After reading this book, I would have to say, yes, there is. McKnight takes you on a journey that guides you in seeing the importance of fasting as well as how to fast.

I Lift Up My Soul

I Lift Up My Soul by Charles Stanley

This is a good start for someone who isn't in the habit of reading the bible or praying daily. It is short and to the point each day and has a bible verse and lesson to think about each day through the year.

The Falling Away by T.L. Hines

Dylan Runs Ahead is a member of the Crow Tribe of Montana and is as unique as his name. A man who has spent years trying to run away, not ahead...of his past, his culture, family. He finds that he is a "chosen" one. But chosen by which side?? Good or evil?? This book keeps you guessing up to the very end. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it!

The Jesus You Can't Ignore

Just finished up with a new book...The Jesus You Can't Ignore by John McArthur.

A very good read...one that I will be reading again. Mr. McArthur takes you on a journey, well documented by Scripture, through the days of Jesus's ministry and focuses on his dealings with those in religious power in those days....primarily the Sanhedrin, scribes and Pharisees. This Jesus is NOT the meek and mild man so portrayed in most mainstream churches today, but one that stood and delivered scorching reprimands to those in power. The overall point of the book, is that if you are going to follow the footsteps of Christ, then you need to be willing to refute those that mislead and mis-teach God's word today, not looking for the "common ground" as most organized religions seem bent on doing these days.

I was not paid for my review and these opinions expressed are my own. I received a free book from BookSneeze to read and review.
