Already Compromised is a book by Ken Ham, founder and president of Answers in Genesis a website in defense of Creationism. This book that I was given for review (in Kindle format) is about the compromise that has taken place in Christian colleges and universities. This is a big topic of debate in a lot of Christian homes as parents prepare to send their children off to an institute where they feel their children will get a good, Godly experience in learning.I do not have experience from having ...
My Foolish Heart – a LitFuse Review
My Foolish Heart, written by Susan May Warren, was incredible. I literally did not want to get up from my chair while reading this book! It tugged at my heart, it made me laugh, and I could feel the character's issues. One of the main characters of the story--Issy--suffered from post traumatic stress disorder as a result of a car crash that left her mother to die in her arms and her father--previously Deep Haven's football coach--to become bed-ridden in a nursing home. Issy's PTSD left her ...
Switched on Schoolhouse Review
Last year, I was able to get a great deal on the Switched on Schoolhouse curriculum for my 5th grade son. Daniel was getting a bit overwhelmed with all of the textbooks, and I was overwhelmed with all of the paperwork involved with using the textbooks. Going to a computer-based curriculum was tempting, and the reviews I'd read praising SOS really encouraged me to give it a try. It was going to be a huge leap for us, because I'd never used any computer-based curriculum for my son. However, the ...

A Reluctant Queen – a LitFuse Review
Let me first say that this book was an out-of-the-park Home Run!! A Reluctant Queen: The Love Story of Esther, written by Joan Wolf, totally blew my mind. This story completely captivated me, and I have to say that this is a must-read for any of you ladies out there who love Bible-based fiction. I do have to say, though, that much of this story is fictionalized, and the author says in the book that she's taken liberties with the story. It is based on the Biblical story obviously, so keep that in ...
