owls

Owls by Matt Sewell A very cute book with different drawing s by artiest Matt Sewell!  Matt Sewell is an outstanding illustrator who has published several illustrated books. Being an Ornithologist.. Sewell focuses his work on BIRDS!
I think it is the judicious selection of text, with the detailed illustrations, and the factoids distributed throughout, that makes up her winning formula. Especially liked the identification of the different types of owls and the illustrations

what to eat

What to Eat When You're Pregnant  This is a book all pregnant ladies should have!  so many tips and advice  for every week. Keeps you knowing how healthy the baby will be! What to Eat When You're Pregnant has a;ready been put to use by a friend.

It even has recipes in the book!There are not many books out there that explain WHY it's so important to eat certain foods at each stage of pregnancy and breastfeeding.This very well written book provides practical and realistic guidance to supplement your providers advice when you are contemplating or working on becoming pregnant, through those tied groggy days of little sleep, breast feeding, and temptation to grab that Snickers.  Week by week, pregnant women learn the why, the what and the how from a point of view that is at once scientific and nurturing. What more empowering way for prospective mothers to begin the act of creation than to healthfully bite into it?

i got this to review!

Prayers



A very uplifting  book.  This makes a good wedding gift. I am giving it to a bride to be .This is  read all brides need. The battle is raging and we need all the help we can get!
This book is not only for new brides but will benefit any woman who feels defenseless in the midst of a raging battlefield. Jennifer is vulnerable and real about the war being fought and how it must be won. She shares from her personal experience and then she provides Scripture after Scripture to build you up and give you confidence.

It is well worth the read for any age.  fathers might even consider giving it to their daughters before their wedding!
I thank cross Focused books for the free book.

Avenue of Spies

Avenue of Spies

The leafy Avenue Foch, one of the most exclusive residential streets in Nazi-occupied France, was Paris's hotbed of daring spies, murderous secret police, amoral informers, and Vichy collaborators. So when American physician Sumner Jackson, who lived with his wife and young son Phillip at Number 11, found himself drawn into the Liberation network of the French resistance, he knew the stakes were impossibly high. Just down the road at Number 31 was the "mad sadist" Theodor Dannecker, an Eichmann protégé charged with deporting French Jews to concentration camps. And Number 84 housed the Parisian headquarters of the Gestapo, run by the most effective spy hunter in Nazi Germany. 

I found this to be a very good read and so has my sister who is still into it!  It is a true story that makes you feel like it is a fiction story,.You will be wondering can all this happen to one person!  This true story of an  American family in Paris aiding the French resistance from an apartment only a few doors down from the Paris headquarters of the SS will probably be made into a film very soon. i would really like to see it as it would be very good but the book will always be the best I am sure.

I am very thankful for this book to review!

Heartbreak Trail

 I have always been an avid reader. Growing up, I loved historical fiction. Now that I am an adult, I still enjoy speed-reading books for a younger audience in the hopes of finding new favorites for my siblings as well as my future children. Although there are many wonderful books for children and young adults which are not particularly Christian (think Little House and such), it is always great to be able to provide books for your children which reinforce Biblical truths and grace. I have found that Susan's books stay true to the Christian faith without becoming fake or unrealistic.
Unusually for Christian works of fiction, her books are also quite exciting. These books make splendid read-aloud as well as personal reading books. my sisters  9-17 REALLY ENJOYED THIS STORY.

Check out hr other grand  books!

Thanks for free book to review!

stand up!



Wow! I can not say enough good things about this read!I would recommend this book to every Christian, it is well written .  It makes you think twice about the many people who claim to follow Christ but are drawn into witches with Harry Potter and Twilight.  They must be warned,  The author touches on important things that are going on in our nation today. Although I felt a tinge of hopelessness and helplessness while reading this book, I came away in the end feeling hopeful because he showed us what to do". I found this to be helpful in that he describes what he believes we can do to change the state of things in our nation.“If this doesn’t wake us up nothing will! Excellent and scary. Well documented, challenging and eye opening. I
