365 Pocket Morning Prayers - Review

The 365 Pocket Morning Prayers book is a great way to either start your day or end it.  I have it my closet so that when I am getting dress I can easily turn to the day I am on and pray.  If you have a certain topic you need to pray about, the index allows you to find that topic and you can pray that prayer. Great pocket book to have for prayers.

Tyndale House Publishers has provided you with a complimentary copy of this book.

Review of Unplanned

I watched the video and had to read the book. Very insightful on a difficult topic.  Abby Johnson does a great job of bridging the gap from being a former worker at planned parenthood to living a life of a Christian.

Review of Intentional Parenting

This is a great book for any type of parent. I am a foster parent and going on autopilot is not an option.  So when I saw the tag line autopilot is for planes I knew this was a book for me.  All the chapters are great in this book. But two them stand out for me at this moment in my journey of parenthood. The patient parent and the merciful parent chapters are perfect right now  in my parenthood  adventure.  But I know in my heart and head the other chapters we be used in the future so this book will always be close by when I need advice and help.  Great book, written very well by all the authors. Do not miss out on some great wisdom that the book brings.

Review of Tough Guys and Drama Queens


Tough Guys and Drama Queens How Not to Get Blindsided by Your Child's Teen Years

by Mark Gregston starts out with reasons why today children do not respond to correctness the way previous generation respond to it.  The saying “it is my way or the highway” just does not work with todays’ children. We are in a sad state with children of this generation not respecting and not taking the correction and to do the right thing.  Unfortunately this book states that information comes at the children fast and hard in today world, so they have problems just processing it all and knowing what is right and wrong.

The good news is that the book has several ways to help parents navigate these new waters of parenting.  The biggest one that stood out for me was building a relationship with the children. This takes time and some patience of the parents’ part but in the end can have great results. This book will help me with my children now and the coming years.

The Voice New Testament: revised & updated - Review


The Voice New Testament: revised & updated is a narrative of the New Testament. But to totally appreciate this version of the Bible one needs to read the preface first. You will find the four major objectives in the preface which will lead you to the understanding on how this translation is unique from other translations.

Another item in the introduction is 4 daily reading plans.  These include the Christmas, Easter, read thru the New Testament in 24 weeks and personal growth reading.  This is a very nice way of using The Voice New Testament Bible.

The best part of this Bible is the explanation of the verses you have just read. The flow of this is smooth and you do not need to do to the bottom of the page as a footnote to understand the background of the verses you just read.

Review of Curiosities of the Civil War

Curiosities of the Civil War by Webb Garrison has a ton of information about you guess it the Civil War. It has been is the 150th years since the civil war and this is an outstanding read to get to know the most significant event that has defined and shaped this nation.

This book is divided into 9 different sections. This gives you the latitude to read the book in any order you want. My favorite sections were the “The Unusual and Bizarre” and “Notorious and Nonesuch”.

This book will take you awhile to read but that is not bad. With all the information and wide range of topics this will truly enlighten you on the civil war.
