An Amish Love

A wonderful reading experience. Learing about what true courtship is makes me want my daughter to have that experience. I know, I know, it won't really happen but A mom can pray that her experience will be amazing. A trilogy of love stories that express so much joy and happiness. In “Healing Hearts,” Naaman Lapp decides he needs to take a break from his family. After thirty-one years of marriage, Naaman leaves to visit some family, not knowing when or if he’ll return. Levina doesn’t understand why her husband left and is further confused when he returns eleven months later. The Amish faith requires her to forgive but can she truly forgive Naaman? When a sheriff comes looking for her husband, Levina wonders if he returned on his own or came seeking refuge. Can she trust him again? Ellie Chupp loses her sight in a car accident in “What the Heart Sees.” This same accident kills Christopher Miller’s fiancĂ©e and he leaves the community, angry that the one responsible wasn’t punished. Five years later he returns only to find out his sister is engaged to the man who was driving the car. Can Christopher learn to forgive as Ellie has done?

The Way Home

Dean Cain played an amazing role in this film. He really made you feel what he was going through. A boy goes missing while under his fathers supervision and a whole town rallies. It is a movie for the whole family and teaches so many lessons. Be there for others. Always have your faith, and never waiver on it. I received this movie free from booksneeze and I am so glad I got the opportunity to watch it. It is amazing. I have recommended this movie to many people already. The message that the story is sending is clear… faith that God would not let you endure more than you could handle, and with God’s will, all will be right again apart from the child and spousal negligent message. God does not give you more than you can handle.

Max Lucado - Outlive Your Life

I am a book reviewer for booksneeze and I received this book free and I enjoyed it and hope that many people read it and enjoy it too because it is wonderful. Whether you yourself is struggling or your neighbor is he is there to lift us up and remind us that we can do for ourselves and for others no matter what our aituation is. He reminds us that our goal is heaven but we have to live our life as the best we can be from earth. Max Lucado is a great author and he has written another wonderful book that challenges us to be active in our surroundings and to join in our community to be the best we can be. It is wonderful to be challenged in this way during these hard times.

Faithful By Kim Cash Tate

I loved this book, it made me feel like I wanted Cyd to be my best friend. Dana and Phyl are the best too. It shows me who I want in my life. Women who are strong and faithful who will always be there for you. This book drew me into their world and I felt their pain and their joys. Being a blogger for booksneeze where i received this book for free to review has been one of the best books I have ever read.

Great Bible for a little girl.

Along with the Scripture, this devotional Bible contains several other features. Everything from Scripture memory, tips on being beautiful on the inside, profiles of women in the Bible, Scripture promises, skits, songs to sing, teaching manners and values. Each feature is full of fun activities and questions to help your little princess grow. If you are looking for something to help you and your daughter spend time in the Bible together, God's Little Princess Devotional Bible will be a huge help.
The practical and fun features offer guidance, encouragement and truth as Christ is begins to form himself in the heart of my `dreamer'. These features stimulate conversation between us as she seeks to pursue the right dreams that God has for her, while steering her away from the false dreams that she is bombarded with at school and through the secular media. As we have pursued the questions together, completed the challenges, and acted out the drama's we have shared some tender moments together.

Redefining Beautiful: What God Sees When God Sees You

Everyone would benefit from this book. Jenna has an honest and sometimes funny outlook on what beauty is. It is very insightful as to how young girls and women view their body. She is uplifting and positive in how she identifies with all of us regardless of age. Her realtionship with God helps her define her inner and outer beauty. It was a joy to to read this book which I review for Thomas Nelson books.

Lonestar Secrets by Colleen Coble

This book was amazing - I truley enjoyed the characters and the storyline. It was something tragic that turned into something beautiful and romantic. I cared about the characters from the first chapter and that grew with each additional chapter I read. It show you that things happen to us for a reason and that there is someone out there looking out for us all the time. I loved this book and can not wait to read more from her.
