Quotable Rogue - Book Review

The Quotable Rogue - The Idelas of Sarah Palin In Her Own Words

Edited and with a Foreword by Matt Lewis (Senior Contributor to The Daily Caller)

I received this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for my honest review of it.

This is a great book in my opinion. It's a breathe of fresh air to be able to read a book that has quoted a person correctly. Although I disagree with some of her views, I love this book. She is an honest person and has her own views. She hasn't let anyone tell her how she should think.

I would suggest this book to anyone who likes Sarah Palin, heck, even the ones who don't like her should read it just so they know where she stands on very important issues.

God's Promises for the American Patriot - Book Review

God's Promises for the American Patriot - Deluxe Edition by Dr. Richard G. Lee and Jack Countryman, published by Thomas Nelson

God's Promises has got to be THE most beautiful book that I have seen in a very long time.

For more than 200 years God's promises have led our country - but it does not seem as if the people today are letting him. The government has taken God out of almost everything and I believe that is one of the main reasons that America is failing our people.

This book is full of great patriot stories from Martin Luther King Jr, Dwight D Eisenhower, Daniel Webster and many many more. As with each story, there are also great scriptures to go along with each one.

Every AMERICAN needs to read this book and get back to the roots of what God and America together MEANS!!

No He Can't - Book Review

No He Can't: How Barack Obama Is Dismantling Hope and Change by Kevin McCullough

I, for one among thousands, do NOT like Obama and believe that he has run this country into the ground. And this book did NOT change my mind about him as I knew it wouldn't.

I've never really paid attention to all the goings on in Washington until Obama became president. I do NOT respect him and will NOT put the word president before his name. But as soon as our country started going to the dogs I rose up to pay more attention.

This book is very well written, readable and easy to understand. It is a MUST read for ALL Americans, both those who do not like him and for the ones who voted for him. It will give a better understanding on most issues.

Unsinkable - Book Review

For most kids age 16 embarking on a journey such as this would scare the heck out of them but Abby knew EXACTLY what she wanted and what she was doing. She may have been 16 in age but well beyond that in common sense. This book is a must read for everyone, especially teenagers. This book is proof that dreams can become realities. I love the fact that this book includes real photos of Abby and her family.

Reading this book is like you are right there in the boat with Abby discovering all the same things and feelings that she did. Abby is an amazing young woman.

This is a very interesting book and I suggest that everyone read it.

Time With God For Fathers - Book Review

I received the Time with God for Fathers devotional by Jack Countryman from Thomas Nelson Publishing!!
I would recommend this book for all fathers, old and new! It will strengthen your walk with God and offers sound Biblical guidance for you and your family. The book also includes a list of Biblical references for topics in the back of the book, as well as a section for notes at the back of the book. The topics chosen are absolutely fantastic and the verses selected are vital to a father's faith walk.

This would make a great gift for any father, father to be, etc. Great devotionals throughout the whole book. It is also the perfect size for travel.

The Fight of Our Lives - Book Review

For anyone who REALLY wants to know what is going on in the world today...this book is IT!
The book did an excellent job citing a variety of sources as well as quoting informed/well known public figures. This backbone of quotes and professional opinions added hugely to the credibility of the book as well as driving home the sobering message the book brought.
This book is definitely a wake-up call for America and its people. Some people choose to ignore what's going on around them and some just do not care. They all need to read this book.

God's Promises - Book Review

I received this book to review and I must say that this is WONDERFUL! This would be THE perfect book for anyone who struggles with their faith and religious views. Being nondenominational I find this book very comforting knowing that God is always with us no matter what.
I love the spacious writing availability. The devotions in this book are from some of the very best: Max Lucado, Billy Graham, Sarah Young and others.

Book Review - Velveteen Bible

When I requested this book from Booksneeze.com I expected it to be a childrens Bible. The cover, case, and pictures are for children but the Bible itself is for teens and adults. This would, however, make a cute keepsake gift for small children to keep and pass down from generation to generation, in my opinion.

When I see the words "childrens Bible" I think of simple versions of the 'grown up' Bible.

will be off for a few days

I won't be able to blog for a few days starting Thursday. Ben, my hubby, is having an operation to remove his right kidney. Docs say that a mass has taken over the whole inside of the kidney. After they remove it they will send it to pathology to run tests to see if the mass in cancerous.

I ask that my friends and family PLEASE pray for him.

I signed up up to be a Mom Ambassador today and am SOOOO excited...I sure hope I get picked to be on this team.

If picked, I will have the wonderful opportunity of reviewing items and then sharing my opinions with everyone.

Book Review of - the mountains bow down by Sibella Giorello

The mountains bow down (a Raleigh Harmon novel) written by Sibella Giorello is absolutely THE best book so far that she has written. As she works to juggle personal life, work life and unraveling the mystery before her Raleigh must answer many questions that will have a lasting effect on many of those around her. This book is very easy to read and follow. I could NOT put it down. The characters are well described and it's as if I was there on the ship with them.

I was very blessed to have gotten this book from www.booksneeze.com. I absolutely love this site and have NOT been disappointed in any of the books yet.

Book Requested

Just requested a copy of The Mountains Bow Down. Sounds like a great book, can't wait to get it.

Ultimate DVD Bible - Vol 2

Being a book reviewer I was given a great opportunity to review The Ultimate DVD Bible - Volume 2. This book is wonderful for small children, even young adults. My 6 year old LOVED this, the book and the DVDs. He has watched them over and over. The pictures are great in the book, very colorful; it grabs their attention and keeps it. It's an easy way for them to learn the stories of the Bible and have fun doing it.

Another book request

I just requested Read and Share: The Ultimate DVD Bible - Volume 2

It should arrive in about 2 weeks. I can't wait to get this one to share with our 6 year old (and I know our 15 year old will watch and learn too) :-)

Unto the Hills book review

I received Unto the Hills to review and I must say for someone who struggles with faith and the meaning, this is THE book to read. I myself do struggle with faith and meaning and this book helped me a great deal. The dedication to his late wife also made it worthwhile. You could tell by his writing the great love they shared and the love they shared with Jesus Christ. It is a daily devotional and each day is uplifting and promising.

Ben's New Business

Well...Ben has decided to go into business with a friend of his cutting and selling firewood. I am working today on getting them a domain name and building them a website. I hope they do well seeing as how they can't find jobs around here. They are also on Facebook. Just look for Firewood Junkies :o)

Tuesday, January 4

Book review

I received a book today to review. It's entitled Unto the Hills - A Daily Devotional by Billy Graham.
So far this is a very good book. After I read it I will post my review here :o)

Wow...some people pt 2

Kinda sad that my first post was a rant but when people piss me off like that I am NOT one to just sit back and relax and hope it all goes away. I used to be, but not anymore. Being quiet and not speaking your mind is not good for your heart or your mind. You could seriously have a heart attack or a stroke by doing that.

Okay, on to something else (for now anyway) :o)

I have applied to various companies to become a product tester and hopefully will get picked for some...fingers crossed :o) 

Wow...some people

Well...those who know me know that I am also on Facebook and today was horrible on there thanks to ONE woman and her family. They are just all around horrible and they claim to be Christians...yeah, whatever.

I can't stand people who are self-righteous, prejudicial bigots. These kind of people make me very angry.

Today, she brought my family into it, made a bunch of rude remarks and then blocked me...that's right she blocked me so that I could not email her back...just like people who know they are wrong, get mouthy and then continue to do so where you can't see what they are saying....slandering backstabbers...can't stand them!
