Book Review: The Eagle Has Crashed by Ted Lacksonen
I recently had a friend ask me to read his new book, The Eagle Has Crashed, and I quickly said yes! Ted has been someone who has been helping me to think outside the box when it comes to the plight of America and politics in general. I respect his opinion deeply and was excited and honored to be asked to read his book. I also promised to write a review. The genre of, The Eagle Has Crashed, is probably …
Book Review: Possession
After reading, Possesion by Rene Gutteridge, I have to say … I loved this book! And I have now discovered a new author to read in my favorite genre, suspense/thriller. This book was impossible to put down once I started. It took off with a bang and never stopped. Love that! In addition, for me at least, the subject of loosing all of one’s possession was surreal, yet, profound as I just experienced this in June 2010. The character developement …
Book Review: Becoming A Woman of Simplicity
This book review of Cynthia Heald‘s book, Becoming A Woman of Simpliticy, has me a little flummoxed. I chose to use it as my morning Bible Study and I’m glad I did. This is not a book that could be properly digested by sitting down and reading it in one fell swoop. There was much to ponder and process between the covers of this book. Having said that, I did find myself towards the end, growing weary of the scripture …
Double Book Review: The New Day Dawns/As Shadows Fall
When I started reading this series that my friend Lillie sent me, I wasn’t sure if I would like them because this isn’t a genre that I normally read. Not because I don’t like it, but more because I have never found a story line that interested me. Well, that changed this past week when I read Grace Anne Schaefer’s, The New Day Dawns (book one), and, As Shadows Fall (book two). This series is hands down the best fiction …
Dream or Destiny
I have a secret to share with you. I love books that grab you the minute you flip open to page one, and then hold on to you to the very last page. Love those kinds of reads. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside! The sad thing is that I don’t come across tons of writers who grab me from the get go. So … I was pleasantly surprised when I read, Dream or Destiny, by author and editor, Lillie …
Book Review: Amy Inspired
I knew it would happen. I hoped it wouldn’t, but deep down I knew it would. I couldn’t love every book I read/reviewed. Unfortunately I finally came across a book that just didn’t work for me. In all fairness, I should state that I’m not really into the romance genre – I actually stopped reading them years ago unless they were intertwined with a historical story – so I probably should have chosen another book. But, the title really intrigued …

Book Review: Chasing Francis
I have three book reviews to get out this weekend so here goes. When I first got this book I really wasn’t sure what to think. It is a book of fiction but it deals with a very serious and real issue among those within the church. Many people have lost their original passion and purpose for why they believe in their faith. Although, I am of the Catholic faith, I found this book very intriguing. Even more importantly, I …

Book Review: The NEW Road to SERFDOM: A Letter of Warning to America
I thought I should fore-warn you, my reader, that I have several book reviews that I am needing to post this week. I thought I would post them on two days that I don’t normally write – Monday and Sunday of this coming week. Today’s book review is different from my reviews of the past. I am choosing to review a book that wasn’t given to me. I purchased it as a personal, private matter. However, upon reading it, I …
Book Review: The American Patriot’s Almanac
If I could give this book review a 6 out of 5, I would whole-heartedly do it. I have spent a lazy after noon wandering through the pages of this incredible book. My heart soars as America’s history unfolds in chapter after chapter after chapter. How can any book go wrong when it starts off with a dedication such as this: To the families of the American soldier, families who, for love of country, have sacrified in countless ways. Right …

Book Review: Trusting God by Jerry Bridges
I originally got this book because – to be quite frank – because I thought it was apropos after having lost my home, all my possessions and having my health seriously compromised this past July in an environmental accident. A reminder to trust God in the midst of all that seemed … well … right. Little did I know…

Book Review: What Difference do it make?
After my review of, Same Kind of Different as Me, I was contacted by Thomas Nelson to see if I might be interested in reading the follow-up book, What Difference do it make?. If you read my review, you know that…
Book Review: Same Kind of Different as Me
Leaving This World A Better Place… I believe with everything in me that I have been put on this earth to profoundly change it. That may sound like an audacious statement, but I believe that with every ounce of my being. My one desire above all else, is to leave this world a better place than I found it by changing and impacting the lives of each and every person that I meet. Since starting my blog…
Book Review: Flight to Heaven
It isn’t very often that I find a book that impacts me so deeply that I walk away changed. Nor do I find a book in which my journey with CFIDS and FMS is shared (not from the perspective of the illnesses but from the perspective of the difficult journey to healing one travels). But today I did. The minute I started reading, Flight to Heaven, I was drawn into Captain Dale Black’s story. Many parts of his story spoke …
