Blogger Book Review: Reflections of God’s Holy Land

Posted in Book Reviews, tagged , , , , , on October 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Some time ago I became a Thomas Nelson Book Review Blogger (it was actually over a year ago).  The problem was this: I moved to Israel right after I joined.  The book that I was supposed to review came to my stateside address, but I was on the other side of the ocean.
A year later [...]

 I have found a new series of books that I absolutely LOVE!!! Daniel Silva is the author of a series of books about a former Israeli Secret Service Officer, who now poses as an art restorer.  Ok, I say former  Secret Service Officer, but all the books are about him getting sucked back in that [...]

Its about a shady ex-lawyer/lobbyist in Washington who got mixed up in some illegal dealings and went to prison. He was pardoned by the president on [...]

Pushing through nights of tears and heartache, I finally finished reading Schindler’s List. Crying while reading books is not new to me; I often cry during a good book, but these tears were a bit different. The book gives a life account of Oskar Schindler, who saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust [...]

Bleachers

Posted in Book Reviews, tagged , , , , , on May 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Yesterday I finished the book, Bleachers, by John Grisham.  I have read all his previous books, mostly being law-related; but this one is totally different.  It’s actually about football (American Football) in a small town where high school football is everything.
It reminded me so much of Marysville, my high school town, that it was scary. [...]

I am not but I know I AM

I picked up this book the other day because it was small.  I was already in the middle of reading something else, but I needed a bit of a break; this looked like a good distraction.
Louie Giglio (you might know him as The Passion guy) wrote the book, so I’m thinking it must be good. [...]

The Shack

I recently finished reading the book, The Shack, by William P. Young.  A friend of mine had met William and wrote about it, and then, coincidentally, my mom read it and sent the book to me.  
Let me start out by saying, WOW!  I don’t even know where to begin in describing how this book [...]

Writers block….

Yesterday I sat down to write my lesson for Sunday and nothing came.  I sat and sat and sat, but still nothing. So, I decided to pick up a book and go in a new direction.  I had gotten this book in Cape Town called, Is There Anybody Out There?, so I decided to give [...]
