Acing the ACT – a review
Acing the ACT--a perfect, catchy phrase for this tool book! Is the ACT approaching for someone in your family? If you're a homeschooler like I am, you're likely familiar with ACT preparation. If not, you soon may be. The ACT can seem daunting to parents and kids. Parents likely remember having taken it themselves. Some take it multiple times, while some are lucky to take it once-and-done. If you're like me, you likely have multiple ACT prep books at your disposal. The big, huge guides with ...
Israel-God’s Heart: Landscapes and Legacy of Israel Review
Israel, God's Heart is a beautiful "coffee table" arrangement of aerial photographs that will take your breath away. I've never been to Israel, but I've always wanted to. Its rich history and beauty have always drawn and intrigued me. Ron Gafni, the photographer, has captured some beautiful scenes that are simply breathtaking. Israel, God's Heart has captured some of the landscapes that I've never seen before--areas I've heard described but never seen. Inside each of the five ...
I Said Yes by Emily Maynard Johnson – a Review
I Said Yes is an eye-catching title. When I saw Emily Maynard's face on a book cover, I was intrigued. I watched her season of The Bachelorette, and I knew her story from her talking about it on TV. Knowing also that she was a believer in Christ, I was interested in reading what she had to say. Reading I Said Yes, as a result, was a no-brainer. Emily lost her love Ricky Hendrick, a NASCAR race car driver, and found out after his death that she was expecting. She wound up on The Bachelor and ...
The Biggest Story Review and Giveaway
Beautiful, Intriguing, Captivating are the three words I'd use to describe The Biggest Story, a children's Bible storybook authored by Kevin DeYoung and illustrated by Don Clark. This is a great book for beginner Bible students--a good way to gently introduce children to the Bible stories without overwhelming details. Children as young as five, I believe, who have never been introduced to the Bible before, could appreciate the story and the ...
Who’s the New Kid Review & Giveaway
Who's the New Kid? is a book that intrigued me from the moment I saw the cover. I was drawn to the story of Breanna, a nine year old girl who was obese. The book is written by Breanna's mother Heidi Bond. Heidi puts into detail the struggle that they as a family went through: the reality that Breanna had a problem with food and that her little brother was following suit, the taunting at school, and the difficulty of finding the combination of diet and exercise that would help Breanna. The book ...
Heart Sisters Review
I am so glad that I had the opportunity to read this book. It is so moving, so convicting, so encouraging--all at the same time! How is that?! It's easy--friendship is all of those things at different times, if we're honest. And honesty is what this book is all about. Natalie, the author, gets down to the nitty gritty when it comes to the honest truth about the good and bad of friendships. She very strongly suggests that in order to maintain a good friendship, that we ladies need to "get right ...
BookSneeze Book Review – John Bunyan
John Bunyan, author of The Pilgrim's Progress I enjoy a good biography. However, it is not often that I read a biography about someone who lived so long ago as John Bunyan. In fact, I'd never read anything about John Bunyan's life. I read John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress while in high school, but never knew anything personal of Bunyan. The title "John Bunyan," written by Kevin Belmonte, is a nice book for someone like myself who knows little about John Bunyan. This title is part of a ...
