If you are looking for a book that you simply can’t put down, Ted Dekker’s ‘Eyes Wide Open’ fits the bill! The story opens with a pair of young people who are essentially on their own in the world.

Book Review: Food Triggers by Rhona Epstein

Food Triggers

I was recently sent a copy of ‘Food Triggers’ to read and share my thoughts with you. You’re probably aware that the ‘misuse’ of food sends more people to the emergency room every year than other emergencies combined! You may be someone who has tried diligently to eat the right foods, become healthy and lose […]

Book Review: Miss Brenda and the Loveladies

miss brenda

Sometimes a book will make you laugh and cry, almost simultaneously. This is one of those books! Brenda Spahn was living large. She had a great family, a hugely successful business and a life that others envied. But through a seemingly innocent series of events, she almost went to jaill for fraud. Because of her […]

Book Review: Good God, Lousy World and Me

good god lousy world

When I started reading this book, I began to get little ‘nudges’ that told me that this author and I probably had very different ideas about our faith. When I got to page 44 and she stated that there are stories in the Old Testament that she simply does not believe, I put the book […]

Book Review: T-Bone the Flying Horse

T Bone the Horse

We recently received a review copy of this adorable children’s book, ‘T-Bone the Flying Horse’. Our little guy is six, and he really enjoyed the book. He actually read most of it aloud to me! T-Bone is a racehorse that, well, isn’t what you would call successful. But little does he know that a sweet […]

Book Review: I, Saul by Jerry B. Jenkins

I Saul

Recently, I was given the opportunity to do a book review on  ‘I, Saul‘ by one of my very favorite authors, Jerry B. Jenkins. If you have read any of the books in the ‘Left Behind’ series, you will know that Jenkins’ writing style is one dedicated to producing page-turners that you can’t put down. […]

Book Review: Raising Boys by Design

raising boys

Let’s face it…boys and girls are different. Equal? Yes. The same? A resounding no. Your baby boy is destined for greatness, but he’s going to need your help to grow into the man that God created him to be later in life. Little boys are fearfully and wonderfully made. They are uniquely male, and as […]
