Heaven is for Real, written by Todd Burpo, was a really nice read. The book is about Burpo's son Colton, who had a near-death experience while having an emergency appendectomy.Colton was able to describe heaven. He described God's throne and how truly BIG God was and, even more, how big God's love is for His children. He described how Jesus looked, down to what He was wearing and his facial description. He told his parents about who he saw in heaven: Jesus' cousin John who baptized Jesus, the ...
Unlocked – a Zondervan Review
First, I'll just get this little confession out of the way right now.I AM A KAREN KINGSBURY FANGIRL. lol I discovered her nearly two years ago, and I feel like I've deprived myself of the years that I could've already been reading her books! She's truly been given a God-given gift of writing what she refers to as "Life Changing Fiction". It is definitely that, and for any of you who have read her books, I'm sure you would nod and smile your agreement. So now that I've made my confession, let's ...
The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament – A Tyndale Review
I received The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament as a complimentary gift from Tyndale House Publishers.The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament by Nancy Guthrie is a one-year devotional. The copy I'm reviewing is paperback and 386 pages long.If you've seen the Bibles that take you through one year, this is just like that--but on a devotional level.

The Gospel According to Jesus – A BookSneeze Review
I received this book as a BookSneeze member to read and review.I'll say that when I received The Gospel According to Jesus, I expected to read accounts from Jesus' perspective, from the title of the book. When I opened the book to start reading, I felt like the title didn't seem to fit.Chris Seay, the author, right away went into the topic of righteousness. He expounds on what righteousness is NOT for several pages, and then at the end of the chapter, has a few paragraphs explaining what he ...
Elmer’s Crafters’ Campaign – BzzAgent
I received this kit in the mail today as a campaign from BzzAgent. As a Bzzer, I am able to qualify (through my interests) for campaigns to join, such as this Elmer's campaign. If you're not a member of BzzAgent, I highly recommend it. You get free products to try just for "buzzing" (telling others) about it.I received my box of Elmer's items today. Included in the box (as you can see from the picture) are two pairs decorative edge scissors, permanent glue tape runner, glue spots, a glue pen, a ...
What in the World is Going On? – A Book Sneeze Review
I received this book as a BookSneeze member to read and review.I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have never read anything by Dr. David Jeremiah (yes, I've been deprived), but I love reading about prophecy. Dr. Jeremiah touched on several different aspects regarding "end times", but his biggest focus is how what's going on in our world today stacks up against the ticking clock that will mark the end of life as we know it.This book was published in 2008, and while much of the information is ...
