Hardcover, 144 Pages, Best suited for lower elementary age girls.


Thank you to BookSneeze® for providing a free copy of this book for me to review. 


I was so excited to receive a copy of this book in the mail from BookSneeze.  I was a little surprised when I received the book though.  I was hoping there would be more of an emphasis on Heavenly Father, and instead it was more how a Princess should look, dress, and act.  I kind of understand this because at this age range girls are still really into dress up and play but I think these is room for improvement with more emphasis on the bible.  


Overall, I rate this book a 4 out of 5.  I think it is a good book for girls overall even though there is room for improvement.  I think most young girls in this age range will enjoy the book.  It is a wonderful guide to dressing modestly, fellowshipping, etiquette, and how to develop true beauty. All aspects that I think most little girls are led astray on by todays society.

I was so excited to receive a copy of this book in the mail from BookSneeze. I am a very spiritual person and I believe anyone else who is too would love this book. No matter what you may be going through I believe everyone can gain a positive perspective on their circumstances they are facing by simply putting your trust and faith in Heavenly Father. This book will help you gain this positive view.

Max on Life was a fun book, as the author Max Lucado shared letters he had received over the years. The letters were filled with questions about our Heavenly Father and His Word. The book is broke up in 7 sections which consisted of Hope, Hurt, Help, Him/Her, Home, Haves/Have-Nots, Hereafter. Max Lucado focuses on God's promises to all of his children in this amazing book. 

This book provides a lot of insight into the bible and is a good read. I rate this book a 5 out of 5. I highly recommend this book.

Book Review: The Final Summit: A Quest to Find the One Principle That Will Save Humanity By Andy Andrews

Book Review:
The Final Summit:  A Quest to Find the One Principle That Will Save Humanity
By Andy Andrews

Thank you to BookSneeze® for providing a free copy of this book for me to review.

This is a sequal to the authors first book which I have not yet read, but I took Booksneeze.com's offer of a free copy in exchange for review since it seems like a worthwhile read. After all, a complimentary book from a highly-acclaimed author should be something pretty good, and I'm vary glad I did decide to take this book.

The main character, David Ponder, has learned the 7 Decisions (during The Traveler's Gift), and now he is an old man nearing the end of his life. As he contemplates life without his wife, who recently passed away, he is visited by the archangel Gabriel and told he is to join a summit of all the Travelers throughout history. Their task is simple: answer one question with a 2 word answer. The question is "What does humanity need to do, individually and collectively, to restore itself to the pathway toward successful civilization?"

I found the story interesting and it moved along at a fast pace. Overall I recommend the book to others and am glad I have read it. I would rate it 4 out of 5.

Book Review: We Be Big - The Mostly True Story of How Two Kids From Calhoun County, Alabama Became Rick & Bubba

Book Review: We Be Big - The Mostly True Story of How Two Kids From Calhoun County, Alabama Became Rick & Bubba




Thank you to BookSneeze® for providing a free copy of this book for me to review. 
Before reading this book I knew of Rick and Bubba but nothing of their background story.  I was pretty amazed by their story.  Their book is so open and honest and more then once I found myself laughing out loud at their stories.  They truly believe it was by Gods will that they met and are where they are now.  Not that it hasn't been a trying and difficult path that they took to get there though.  

This book provides a lot of insight into both men and is a good read.  I rate this book a 5 out of 5.  For any Rick and Bubba fans out there, I highly recommend this book.  It is an easy read providing lots of insight into their lives and helps to fill in any gaps you may have.

The Story of the Bible: The Fascinating History of Its Writing, Translation & Effect on Civilization

Thank you to BookSneeze® for providing a free copy of this book for me to review. 
This has truly been one of the most comprehensive accounts of the Bible and its history that I have ever read. Even the pages seem so delicately crafted, and as I turned each one in anticipation, I learned one more fact about this precious book-The Bible. The Story of the Bible takes us on a journey through history and gives an account of those who paid the price. From the Lollards of the fifteenth century who taught the authority of the Scripture over the authority of the priests (who were burned alive with Bibles hung around their necks) to Rachel Saint in the 1950s who translated the Gospel of Mark into the Waodani language (the same people who brutally murdered her brother Nate and four other missionaries-which included Jim Elliot)-the stories were captivating. If one had any doubt regarding the fight these early Christians faced, this book will be a strong reminder of the value of the book we hold so dear.

I was amazed at the ease of reading the book provided. Each sentence was filled with so much information, yet it was written on a level that could easily be presented to a child. It would almost serve as a textbook on the History of God's Word. From the quality of the book to the quality of the words contained in its pages, The Story of the Bible by Larry Stone is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the Bible.

This book provides a lot of insight into the bible and is a good read.  I rate this book a 5 out of 5.  I highly recommend this book.  It helps to fill in any gaps you may have.

Book Review: A Conversation with God for Women

Book Review: A Conversation With God For Women by Marcia Ford

Thank you to BookSneeze® for providing a free copy of this book for me to review.



I was very excited to receive this book from BookSneeze to review. I was quite surprised when I received it though. The format of the book is drastically different then what I expected. This book is a series of questions and answers with the answers by God, Jesus, and other biblical figures in a conversational format.


Even though the book provides lots of biblical references I still do not approve of someone pretending to talk as God or Jesus.  I believe a lot of the questions asked in the book are questions that a lot of people ask most days.  Some of the questions include, " Is there a purpose to life, How can the Bible still be relevant, Did you physically rise from the dead, Must we obey everything in the Bible, Why should we trust you, How can we have deeper friendships, Are all sins the same to you, Can prayer really make a difference, and How can anybody find good in tragedy".  


Overall, I would rate this book a 4 out of 5.  I believe most people will find some useful information and help reaffirm their beliefs.  It could also be used as a topic discussion in a bible study class as well.
