ABOUT THE STUDENT BODY<br />
This true story really shows us how we can be cruel without even meaning to. The Student Body tells the story of two girls fighting against bullying and the government insincerity while investigating the problem of childhood obesity.<br />
Different schools made the children get weighed and then they find out what there BMI is So if don’t fit within the numbers there were sent a letter saying they were not without certain numbers and essentially told they were fat.<br />
I think this is very unfair as children and young adults are at a stage when they think everything about themselves is wrong. They think they are to fat, to skinny, their hair is to straight or to curly etc… Now to put this on them is just to much.<br />
One of the girls is a journalist major and made this film documentary to try to get to the bottom of why the children were sent letters. She also tried numerous times to talk to her senator and he wouldn’t talk to her. She tried emails, phone calls, tried to see him at a rally. Then she went to his office and confronted him face to face.<br />
This is quite an excellent documentary and I recommend it for each and every one. It kept me very interested and it will show you if you don’t give up you will get answers to your questions.<br />

The rest of my writing, as they say, is history. Or it was until my first contemporary came out this fall.

<span style="color: #7f6000;"><b>MY REVIEW</b></span><br />
This is a story about a family who decided to move west, but didn’t want to take their mother Tabitha Brown. They said she was to old and crippled. Didn’t make sense to me because she was only in her 50’s and still could walk with a cane. Anyway she talks them into letting her go and she writes of her adventures.<br />
They took a different path than the Donner party, but also had trouble with steep trails, no food to gather or hunt and many other difficulties.<br />
The story was really interesting as it told of the older woman and her daughter and granddaughter. Also of several others in this remarkable story.<br />
I recommend this if you like adventure and perseverance.<br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><b>ABOUT TWILIGHT AT BLUEBERRY BARRENS</b></span><br />
<br />
“I need you to keep these girls safe . . .”<br />
<br />
Kate Mason has devoted herself to caring for her family’s blueberry barrens. But after her fields stop producing fruit, she’s forced to come up with alternative ways to make a living.<br />
<br />
Renting out the small cottage on her property seems an obvious choice, but it won’t be enough. When entrepreneur Drake Newham shows up looking not only for a place to rent but also for a nanny for his two nieces, it’s almost too good to be true. And maybe it is—because Drake brings with him dangerous questions about who might be out to kill his family. The more time Kate spends with Drake and the girls, the more difficult it becomes to hide her attraction to him. But a family crisis isn’t exactly the ideal time to pursue a romance.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Kate learns that her uncle—in prison for murder—has escaped. Add to that a local stalker who won’t leave her alone, and Kate is looking over her shoulder at every turn. With threats swirling from multiple directions, she wonders if her blueberry fields will ever flourish again . . . or if this twilight is her last.<br />
<br />
Set on the beautiful coast of Maine, Twilight at Blueberry Barrens brings together suspense, romance, and the hope that one day new life will come again.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
Book three in the Sunset Cove series. I read book one and book three. Book two just slipped by me. Anyway each book can be read separately, but it really helps if you’ve read the whole series.<br />
I love the way Colleen Coble writes. She is very realistic and has such an interesting way with words.<br />
Kate has been through so much with her Uncle and Mother being in prison and her twin sister being kidnapped when they were very young.<br />
Mysteries keep happening. Now a man’s brother and his wife are dead. The police say it was murder/suicide, but he doesn’t believe. So now Drake has two nieces to raise. He goes to the place where they were mudered to find out all he can. He stays at a cottage Kate put up for rent and she agrees to watch his nieces.<br />
This book is full of danger, suspense, love, forgiveness and believing in yourself.<br />

<span style="color: #783f04;"><b>ABOUT CHOOSE AND CHOOSE AGAIN</b></span><br />
In Choose and Choose Again, the reader will encounter story after story of different people, most of whom are from Hope Community Church of Detroit, where Pastor Butcher has been sharing the healing love of God for thirteen years. They represent men and women, African American, Caucasian, Latino, and Asian, urban and suburban, professional types and prostitutes, clergy and addicts, drunks and lawyers and convicts—wounded human beings who have found themselves empty, dying, and longing to be filled.<br />
<br />
The stories are not only about their own healing and restoration but also about how the love of God heals. Butcher hopes that readers will find before them a path of healing that they feel compelled to embrace. He begins with his own story of emptiness and despair, and his journey to healing, but the ultimate power of his message is that this healing journey is for anyone who is willing to own his or her emptiness and hold one’s heart out to God, who is desperately longing to love each person all the way home.<br />

<span style="color: #783f04;"><b>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</b></span><br />
J. Kevin Butcher is the lead pastor of Hope Community Church of Detroit, a messy fellowship of human beings from every racial, economic, and educational background imaginable—with one thing in common: They own their emptiness and pursue healing through the love of God in Jesus Christ. Butcher has written numerous articles and has spoken around the world about the love of Christ. He is married to Carla and has three grown daughters, two sons-in-law, and two grandchildren.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #783f04;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
Choose and Choose Again by J. Kevin Butcher is a very good book. He tells stories of all different kinds of people in all different kinds of lives. All are lonely and searching, every if they have everything here on earth they still are searching for the mighty love of our Father in heaven.<br />
You will read and experience how they lives have changed when they realize that God loves them and is always with them. Some of the people grew up with horrible lives, horrible parents and horrible things happened to them, but some grew up with seemly normal, happy lives. They all are lacking the love or understanding of a parent, both mothers and fathers. All children need that and when they don’t have it they don’t know how to react to God the Father the lover of all.<br />
Very interesting read and I recommend it.<br />

<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>ABOUT EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE</b></span><br />
Born without Legs, She Inspires Others to Overcome<br />
<br />
Jen Bricker was born without legs. Shocked and uncertain they could care for her, her biological parents gave her up for adoption. In her loving adoptive home, there was just one simple rule: "Never say 'can't.'" And pretty soon, there was nothing this small but mighty powerhouse set her sights on that she couldn't conquer: roller-skating, volleyball, power tumbling, and spinning from silk ribbons thirty feet in the air.<br />
<br />
Everything Is Possible is her incredible story--a story of God working out his plan for her life from before day one. Readers follow Jen from the challenges of growing up different to holding captive audiences numbering in the tens of thousands. Everything Is Possible shows readers what they can accomplish when they remove the words coincidence and limitation from their vocabulary. Filled with heart and spirit, as well as Jen's wit, wisdom, and no-holds-barred honesty, this inspiring true story points the way to purpose and joy. Foreword by Nick Vujicic.<br />

<b><span style="color: #e06666;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
Everything is Possible by Jen Bricker is an amazing book. Jen was born without legs and her parents left her at the hospital. She was adopted by a wonderful family who said Never say can’t. So Jen did everything everyone else did she didn’t let anything hold her back.<br />
Jen really loves the Lord and clings to Him for everything. She has done many things already in her young life and has big plans for the future. She is such a funny, wise girl and you will love her outlook on life.<br />
It’s an amazing thing how Jen found her sisters and Mom and how they now love each other.<br />
I recommend this book, because it will lift you up from your everyday life. Very good.<br />

<b><span style="color: #660000;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
Living With No Excuses by Noah Galloway is a very intense, realist book. It shows how you can overcome the most horrible tragedies if you don’t give up. How you can live life and be happy.<br />
I love to read Biographies of people that have been through horrible things and how much they have suffered and still made it out of the pit of despair.<br />
Noah Galloway lost his arm and leg in combat. He almost died, but he fought back. Noah also was a very depressed person at first and all he did was drink. Then Noah was inspired to exercise and get into a fitness business.<br />
Besides though positive things you will see Noah’s journey through three relationships and how they failed, but he loves his children and cares for them almost daily.<br />
I did like this book and think you will if you like to see a person strive to do things that most people wouldn’t do. I recommend this book.<br />

What more can you sacrifice than your life?<br />

At least that's what the Council and the world thinks. But her sacrifice tore down part of the Wall long enough to stir up hope and rebellion in the people. Now she will rise again. Strong, free, and fearless.<br />
<br />
Parvin and Solomon must uncover the mysterious clues that Jude left behind in order to destroy the projected Wall once and for all. Meanwhile, the Council schemes to new levels of technology in its attempts to keep the people contained. Can a one-handed Radical and a scarred ex-Enforcer really bring shalom to the world?<br />

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</b></span><br />
Nadine learned to write her alphabet with a fountain pen. In Kindergarten. Cool, huh? Maybe that’s what started her love for writing. She started journaling at age nine and thus began her habit of communicating via pen and paper more than spoken words. She never decided to become a writer. Her brain simply classified it as a necessity to life.<br />
<br />
Nadine is a stay-at-home author and writes stories about authentic faith, bold living, and worlds soaked in imagination. She lives in Idaho with her husband and works as a freelance editor. When she's not writing, editing, or taste-testing a new chai, she is out pursuing adventures. A Time to Die is her first novel. Visit Nadine at www.nadinebrandes.com<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #0c343d;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
A Time to Rise by Nadine Brandes is such an incredible book. It is book three and the last in the Out of Time series. I wish this series would never end. I have enjoyed each and every one of these stories. I so looked forward to hearing what Parvin, her family and friends were up to.<br />
These books were not fluff and silly adventures that some books give you, but the Out of Time and this book A Time to Rise were amazingly mature and had hard issues to resolve.<br />
The characters are so very likable and the villains are so devious and horrible.<br />
In the last book Parvin died or so we thought. It was something when she came back and the things she had to go through to bring peace to the people. That’s all she wants is for the people to have peace and for them to go where they want and not be shut out by the wall.<br />
In the end you will be astonished at who finally helps Parvin and Solomon. A Time to Rise is one exciting, suspenseful, intriguing book. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this series is and how beautifully the story ended. Magnificent isn’t a strong enough word for how much I love this book. Highly recommended.<br />

<br />
An air of discord settles over Hope Valley when Jack’s spirited mother, Charlotte, pays an unexpected visit… and stays with Elizabeth. While Charlotte "helpfully", critiques Elizabeth's skills as a housekeeper, pie-maker and teacher, Rosemary has become a bit of a taskmaster herself for those helping with her imminent wedding to Lee. Meanwhile Gowen comes under suspicion for "irregularities", in the bank’s bookkeeping, and as he and Nora prepare to leave town, Bill and Jack must contend with a violent storm, rising flood waters and the collapse of the Silverton mine!<br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
When Calls The Heart-Hearts in Question is another amazing DVD in this Hallmark series. So many things happen on one show. It doesn’t just have one story line, but several and I love that.<br />
Jack’s mother comes and tells Elizabeth how to cook food, wash clothes and do the things that Jack likes.<br />
Rosemary and Lee are putting together there wedding. Everything has to be more than perfect for Rosemary, but she learns some valuable lessons.<br />
Will Gowen’s bad practices catch up with him? Nora and Gowen leave town and you can imagine why.<br />
All of this si going on and a very violent storm brings floods, collapse of the Silverton mine. So much action and adventure. The ending is just magical, but some have to go through horrible heartaches.<br />
Really a thrilling show that will make you want to watch it again and again. Highly recommend this fantastic series.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b>ABOUT BABY, BABY</b></span><br />
A sweet, colorful board book that appeals to a baby's interest in looking at other babies<br />
Babies enjoy books, looking at other babies, and their own flowering abilities. This short rhyming poem combines all three in a sweet and happy way, while introducing babies to God's love for them. The simple words are paired with colorful images of babies engaging in familiar activities, allowing the book to be used as an introductory concept book as well. And it ends with a reminder that Baby is always loved by God.<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
Baby, Baby by Diane Stortz is just an amazing book. It has short poems that rhyme. The pages tell what a baby can do, how God loves them and has a delightful mirror in the back. We know all babies love to look at themselves.<br />
Each page has the most precious, colorful pictures on them. Any baby would smile and enjoy looking at these sweet babies.<br />
One reason I like this book is because it talks about God and how He loves babies.<br />
Highly recommended. Excellent book for mothers, grandmothers or friends to give to their favorite babies.<br />

When widower Dr. Grant Sheldon moves with his teenaged twins to Dogwood Springs, Missouri, they are still reeling from the death of his wife--their mother. He's hoping the idyllic setting of this small town will help ease the transition. He discovers too quickly that even this isolated place of beauty isn't free of all the problems he left behind in the city.<br />
<br />
Experienced ER nurse, Lauren McCaffrey, arrives in Dogwood Springs hoping for a fresh start in her career--and her family's humiliating pressure for her to find a husband.<br />
<br />
When the community's tranquility is threatened by a mysterious epidemic and an antagonist with a lust for money and hatred for authority, Grant and Lauren find themselves and their new friends racing the clock in a desperate search for answers.<br />
<br />
Second Opinion combines emergency medicine and small-town America in a story of loves discovery and a faith that lasts.<br />

MY REVIEW<br />
Second Opinion, book one in The Healing Touch by Hannah Alexander is a fantastic book that I love. I’ve read many books by Hannah Alexander and love them all.<br />
Dr. Grant Sheldon and Nurse Lauren McCaffrey are two very impressive characters. You just feel like they are real people and that they can be trusted.<br />
Grant lost his wife two years ago and he hasn’t talked to God since then. He has teenaged twins who are so very opposite of each other, but love each other dearly.<br />
Lauren has a fantastic parents and siblings, who are all married. Lauren feels like she is in a trap, everyone fixing her up with eligible men. So she decides to move to a different town to get on with her own life and leave the matchmaking behind.<br />
Put all of that together with a mysterious epidemic going around. people dying, drug lords and you have a novel worth reading.<br />
Highly recommended. Love this book.<br />

<br />
A Fantasy Thriller for fans who enjoy reading books by James Patterson, Sue Monk Kidd, Frank Peretti and Alice Sebold.<br />
<br />
Once in a while a story comes along that resonates with the very essence of what we call "humanity," and speaks to readers of every age. The Deer Effect is that story - a phenomenal #1 Amazon bestseller lauded for its artistic touch, its tender tapping at emotion, and its mesmerizing ability to speak to the hearts of readers around the world.<br />
<br />
"ONE BRITTLE LEAF FOUND ALONG our usual path proved the days had gone wintry. Papery thin as onion skin--blanched from frosty temperatures and yellowing like the pages of an old Bible, the leaf’s long slender shafts, crooked and dry, painted my world. The blue sky dragged me out that Sunday in December—December 5, 2010, if you must know—when the temperature rose to only forty-two Fahrenheit. What was I thinking?<br />
<br />
Hold on. Wait a second. Let me back up just a tad. For your information, I'm dead. Although I speak of myself, make no mistakes. I died this day..."<br />
<br />
So the story begins about Hannah Demsey who is found dead near the body of a fawn on the side of the road. Rod, Hannah's husband, sets out on a journey to find the killer. With his faith waning, all truths change when Rod comes face-to-face with the only person who can tell him how his wife really died.<br />
<br />
THE DEER EFFECT is a story of loss, redemption and forgiveness.<br />

<br />
<br />
Susan Wingate is the author of the young adult romantic fantasy and paranormal books found in Troubled in Paradise and The Deer Effect.<br />
<br />
If you want to read clean, award-winning, fiction steeped in suspense and sometimes set in mythical lands, or books with mystery and thriller elements, you will enjoy reading Susan Wingate’s books. The twists and turns of her stories and her likable, touching characters are always unique. Some of her work even harkens back to the fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia written by C.S. Lewis and also to the superhero Spider-Man series–books with unforgettable heroes and fantastical worlds readers can escape to. Susan's work has been compared with Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven to James Patterson's Lake House. Her mystery novels are riveting stories like JD Robb and Sue Grafton and her fantasy novels ring of The Golden Compass and A Wrinkle in Time.<br />
<br />
MY REVIEW<br />
The Deer Effect by Susan Wingate isn’t worth reading. Since I got it free I don’t feel bad. I thought it would be really a great read since it won four awards. Just goes to show you that you can’t believe everything you read and we all are very different in what we like.<br />
This book is told from a dead person’s point of view. It almost seems sacrilege to me. The dead woman talks about her dog more than her husband. She misses her dog so much. She goes along spreading fairy dust and thinking of a big bowl of popcorn and it appears. She, Hannah also came back as a child spirit, which I believe it completely wrong.<br />
It really seems like a childish kind of book to me except for Rob, the husband’s feeling of loss and hurt. He was deeply sorry for what he said to Hannah right before she was killed.<br />
If the whole book would have continued in the way Rob felt and left all of the silly, girlish coming back out it would have been so much better.<br />
Another thing I didn't like Hannah died at the same time as a deer so it jumped around the skies with her.<br />
I do not recommend this book at all. Just to silly for me. Life and death isn’t a joke or to be taken lightly.<br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>ABOUT SAVING MY ASSASSIN</b></span><br />
"I should be dead. Buried in an unmarked grave in Romania. Obviously, I am not. God had other plans.”<br />
<br />
At just under five feet tall, Virginia Prodan was no match for the towering 6' 10" gun-wielding assassin the Romanian government sent to her office to take her life. It was not the first time her life had been threatened—nor would it be the last.<br />
<br />
As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceausescu’s brutal communist regime, Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When she finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, Virginia accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land.<br />
<br />
For this act of treason, she was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself. How Virginia not only managed to elude her enemies time and again, but how she also helped expose the appalling secret that would ultimately lead to the demise of Ceausescu’s evil empire is one of the most extraordinary stories ever told.<br />
<br />
A must-read for all generations, Saving My Assassin is the unforgettable account of one woman’s search for truth, her defiance in the face of evil, and a surprise encounter that proves without a shadow of a doubt that nothing is impossible with God.<br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>MY REVIEW</b></span><br />
Saving my Assassin by Virginia Prodan is a powerful novel of her life. Virginia was born and raised in Romania during the rein of Ceausescu which was a communist rein. Where religion was not outlawed, but they had so many strict rules that you couldn’t take talk about Jesus or have any Bibles or movies of the Bible in your home to show to other people. You would be arrested and you would then disappear.<br />
Virginia became a lawyer and defended these people with bringing up the law and usually always winning. She became much hated with the leaders and police. She was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself.<br />
Virginia had many friends in the US embassy and the Voice of America radio show. Many times they helped her through trials and difficulties. Of course they and the churched prayed for her.<br />
One part of this book is amazing how a very evil man was sent to kill her and she told him about Jesus. That man just left, but wait until you read what happened to him.<br />
Just an amazing book. That is highly recommended. I know this is something you want to read. A book to keep and read again.<br />

<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>ABOUT THE ALLIANCE</b></span><br />
<br />
When Leora Ebersole sees the small plane crash in her Old Order Mennonite community, she has no idea it's a foreshadowing of things to come. Soon after the young pilot, Moses Hughes, regains consciousness, they realize his instruments were destroyed by the same power outage that killed the electricity at the community store, where Englischers are stranded with dead cell phones and cars that won't start.<br />
<br />
Moses offers a sobering theory, but no one can know how drastically life is about to change. With the only self-sustaining food supply in the region, the Pacifist community is forced to forge an alliance with the handful of stranded Englischers in an effort to protect not only the food but their very lives.<br />
<br />
In the weeks that follow, Leora, Moses, and the community will be tested as never before, requiring them to make decisions they never thought possible. Whom will they help and whom will they turn away? When the community receives news of a new threat, everyone must decide how far they're willing to go to protect their beliefs and way of life.<br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
I usually don’t like to read Mennonite or Amish books, because it’s usually the same old thing, but The Alliance seemed different to me. Also I’ve read several books this year about a huge power outage that takes the whole world {must be the year for that} and how it affects everyone and how food would run out along with not having any cars/trucks that would work because of how cars are made now.<br />
The Alliance tells how the Mennonite don’t believe in wars and fighting back and how some Englischers got stuck in their community and how they worked together to protect each other.<br />
Leora and Moses are so different, but so alike in many ways.<br />
One thing I didn’t see as natural is the romance in the middle of a crisis. A lot of people would disagree with me, but I don’t see it happening.<br />
This is the first book I’ve read by Jolina Petersheim and it won’t be the last. She writes a good story, but some of it was hard for me to believe. So much of it just seemed like the characters were pretending.<br />
I will however recommend it and most people will enjoy it.<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
This is book two in the Jeb Patrick series. I remember book one was amazing. I wasn’t as thrilled with this book because to me it just seemed like more of the same.<br />
They are running and hiding, but get caught, go through horrible tests, try to escape, get shot at and finally at the end they are all together as a family. I like this kind of book if it happens in one book, but not if it keeps happening with the outcome the same.<br />
It’s a good suspenseful book, but to much of the same kind of suspense.<br />
If you didn’t read book one it is O.K. to read this book. It is good as a stand alone, but you get more out of it if you read book one.<br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
This is a most amazing little book full of inspiration and devotions. There are 365 daily readings to help and encourage a person. During your Bible readings each day read one of these little prayers. Each one has something profound and meaningful to tell us.<br />
Some of the topics are: Spiritual Guidance, Confidence, Forgiving, Growth and so on. Just every topic from A to Z.<br />
The book is a very nice trim size. The cover is very soft with a palm tree and seagulls flying over. Also has a beautiful silk bookmark.<br />
This amazing book can bring you or a loved one great comfort and encouragement. Highly recommend this stunning book.<br />

Remembering Dresden (Jack Turner Suspense Series Book 2)<br />
<br />
Young history professor, Jack Turner, takes a retreat at a lakeside cabin just outside of Culpepper, Georgia to work on his doctoral dissertation. The cabin is owned by an ambitious state senator, an inheritance from his father. Inside, everything is exactly the way it was when the old man died ten years ago. While taking a break from his research, Jack snoops through the father’s books and finds an old photo album filled with black-and-white pictures of orphaned children. Intrigued, he continues searching and finds what appears to be evidence of murder and an old leather journal, handwritten entirely in German. Rachel Cook, Jack’s girlfriend, translates the journal for him. What it reveals instantly puts both of their lives in mortal danger.<br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>MY REVIEW</b></span><br />
Remembering Dresden by Dan Walsh is book 2 in the Jack Turner Suspense Series. Usually Dan didn’t write suspense novels, but I’m sure glad he started. Love these books.<br />
In this book Jack rents a cabin of a famous senator (a gift from his father) and uncovers quite a story. He noses around in the photo albums and ever under a loose floor board.<br />
Under the floor board he uncovers a safe with a journal. It is written entirely in German. Jack’s girlfriend translates it and what they find out is horrible.<br />
The things they find out puts Jack and his girlfriend Rachel in harms way. When you are a senator and want to stay one you will do almost anything to keep the secrets hidden.<br />
Really good second book in this series. You don’t need to read book one to enjoy it, but it does help you to understand the characters much better.<br />
Highly recommended.<br />

Adventurous Lil Pup is bummed that hibernating season will soon be coming to the Great North Woods. Why should so many of his friends have to go in for the winter and leave Lil Pup without pals? Mama reminds her little wolf that not all animals hibernate, and how he can be grateful for the beautiful autumn season – for jumping in leaf piles, eating apple treats, and celebrating the wonders of fall with his forest friends. And she points out…<br />
<br />
“I think the trick to having a thankful heart is thinking about the things that make us happy, rather than the things that don’t.”<br />
<br />
As Mama and Lil Pup explore, she reminds him that God is the giver of all good things. Lil Pup learns that even when something fun comes to an end; his heart can be thankful when he sets his mind on the best things in his life.<br />

<span style="color: #783f04;"><b>MY REVIEW</b></span><br />
This is such a delightful book. I really love it and so will your children and grandchildren.<br />
Little Pup was sad because summer was gone and things were dieing. He didn’t like winter when his friends would be hibernating, the leaves were changing colors.<br />
Mama explained to him that “The trick to having a thankful heart, is thinking about the things that make us happy, rather than the things that don’t.”<br />
<br />
<br />
They talk about harvesting, cozy houses, corn mazes and fishing.<br />
Little Pup comes to understand that you can be thankful for everything if you look at the good around you.<br />
Enjoyable book and I highly recommend it.<br />

When Cody’s sister, Becky, returns to Hope Valley, she’s in a wheelchair due to her illness.

All are surprised to meet Carolyn Connors, Cody and Becky’s long-lost, wealthy aunt who wishes to raise them on her own… away from Hope Valley.

When Calls the Heart-Forever in my Heart is Movie 4 of the third season. I really did enjoy this movie. Many sweet, tearful scenes that I loved.<br />
Jack tries to help a young couple to get back together whom the husband left, because he is afraid he will be like his dad in the marriage.<br />
Cody’s sister Becky comes back from the hospital and is temporarily in a wheelchair. Then the children’s long-lost aunt shows up. She wants to take the children back to live with her.<br />
The sawmill is still being damaged and Rosemary may leave Hope Valley in the hopes of being a star in movies.<br />
All of these characters and scenes would make a great show, but when they are all together it is fabulous. Love how this show turned out and the love and sweetness of the different scenes.<br />
Except for the impairment of Lee’s sawmill, which was quite exciting and adventurous.<br />
Really love this movie and you will also. Highly recommended. It is a movie the whole family can watch and be entertained.<br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>ABOUT THE OCCUPIED</b></span><br />
As a youth, Trevor Black unleashed spiritual forces he couldn’t comprehend. Years later, Trevor is a high-flying criminal defense lawyer in New York City, with a six-figure Aston Martin and a trophy wife. But in an extraordinary turn of events, he receives a burdensome gift: the ability to perceive the invisible. And the dark forces he now sees are all gunning for him.<br />
<br />
When one of Trevor’s hometown friends is murdered, the MO is eerily similar to a shocking trail of murders that have already crossed the lawyer’s path. So Trevor must return home to find the killer. . . and face not only his own personal demons, but supernatural ones as well.<br />

<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
The Occupied by Craig Parshall is an excellent novel. This is the first time I’ve read a book by Craig Parshall and I’m really glad I’ve gotten the chance to find out what an brilliant author he is.<br />
In The Occupied Trevor Black can see the invisible world of dark forces, but I believe he also sees angels. You may think this is completely fiction, but I know a man that can see demons on a person or in them. It is something that really happens.<br />
Trevor starts out on the bad side, but so many things happen to him and a person he knows witnesses to him that Trevor knows he can’t make it on his own. So he accepts Jesus into his life. Now the dark forces are extremely mad and they try to kill him several times.<br />
The strange happenings continue and go back to his hometown. Trevor wants to solve one of his best friends murder.<br />
This is a supernatural murder mystery. Very entertaining and suspenseful. I like to find how the title fits into the book and The Occupied really works. I love the title and the whole novel. Excellent book. I highly recommend this novel.<br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>ABOUT HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS</b></span><br />
Dream house . . . or bad dream?<br />
<br />
When the Kings move from L.A. to a secluded small town, fifteen-year-old Xander is beyond disappointed. He and his friends loved to create amateur films . . . but the tiny town of Pinedale is the last place a movie buff and future filmmaker wants to land.<br />
<br />
But he, David, and Toria are captivated by the many rooms in the old Victorian fixer-upper they moved into--as well as the heavy woods surrounding the house.<br />
<br />
They soon discover there's something odd about the house. Sounds come from the wrong directions. Prints of giant, bare feet appear in the dust. And when David tries to hide in the linen closet, he winds up in locker 119 at his new school.<br />
<br />
Then the really weird stuff kicks in: they find a hidden hallway with portals leading off to far-off places--in long-ago times. Xander is starting to wonder if this kind of travel is a teen's dream come true . . . or his worst nightmare<br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</b></span></div>
<br />
I've been writing since before I could drive. Short stories, investigative exposes, celebrity profiles, editorials, business columns, radio dramas, screenplays--you name it. For the last few years, I've focused on novels. I'm the author of the thrillers "Comes a Horseman," "Germ," "Deadfall," "Deadlock," "The 13th Tribe," and the young adult series Dreamhouse Kings--"House of Dark Shadows," "Watcher in the Woods," "Gatekeepers," "Timescape," "Whirlwind," and "Frenzy."<br />
<br />
Several of my books have been sold or optioned by Hollywood producers. All of them are in various stages of production. I'm also working on an original screenplay with Andrew Davis (director of "The Fugitive" and "The Guardian). I wrote the screenplay for Ted Dekker's "Blessed Child." My short story "Kill Zone" appears in the James Patterson-edited anthology "Thriller," and my essay on Thomas Perry's "The Butcher's Boy" can be found in the anthology "Thriller: 100 Must Reads."<br />

<b><span style="color: #4c1130;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
House of Dark Shadows is book one in the Dreamhouse Kings series. It is a young adult series, but I really love it. I think anyone would really enjoy it. Another older book, but well worth reading. Robert Liparulo is an excellent author.<br />
This book is about the Kings family. Three children-young adults and their parents. They find out very soon that there house is very strange. You hear sounds where people are not and they go from one place to another very fast.<br />
Then the two older boys find a hidden hallway that have portals that lead to far off places in a time long ago.<br />
Many scary things happen and each of the boys go into a portal and almost don’t make it out alive, but that isn’t the worse that happens there.<br />
The only part I didn’t like about this novel is the ending. Quite a cliff hanger and I’ve heard other people say this is book one in a six series book. So I need to read them all to find out what happens and how the family makes it out if they do at all.<br />
Highly recommended book. Loved it and wish I could read them all.<br />

The Tides of Truth series follows one lawyer's passionate pursuit of truth--in matters of life and the law.<br />
<br />
Competition is tough at the Savannah law firm where Tami Taylor serves as a law clerk. But Tami's work sets her apart--and the firm's partners see something special in her. So they assign her to a libel case against an abrasive, outspoken preacher who is either a prophet or a lunatic.<br />
<br />
On the surface it appears to be an open and shut case; the preacher seems fully outside the bounds of law. And Tami's strict religious upbringing could be the firm's ace-in-the-hole. But as the investigation continues, Tami is troubled by the preacher's uncanny prophetic abilities. And their client seems to be hiding something.<br />
<br />
Tami returns to her hometown, struggling with several critical choices--as two very different men from the firm vie for her heart. Just when the challenges seem insurmountable, hope for Tami arrives from a surprising place. And it's a higher hope than she's ever imagined.<br />

MY REVIEW<br />
Higher Hope by Robert Whitlow is a good novel, but not one of my favorites. I’ve read a lot of novels that Robert has written and love his style, but I thought this one was lacking. This is an older book, but glad I read it.<br />
I love stories that involve lawyers and crime. Higher Hope has both of those, but not as good as a story can be. I feel the main character Tami is a very indecisive woman. She feels one way about the cases or the guys she likes and them she changes.<br />
I like her one boyfriend she took home to meet her family better and he got permission to court her, but she is to fickle for me.<br />
She is studying to become a lawyer, but I don’t think that is her real calling in life.<br />
Nothing really wrong with this book, but I didn’t care for it. Didn’t have a strong body to the story, but I will recommend it. Not bad.<br />

<br />
Christian, wife, mother, grandmother. Born in Rhode Island, I've had the privilege of living on both beautiful coasts. Dramatically different each location resonates the beauty of the Creator. Like my excursion moving across the nation, life itself is a journey. One that twists and turns along the way with mountains of triumph and valleys of despair, but throughout the process I find the Lord ever present, going before me and lighting my way. Praise be to Him.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"> MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
Spring Thaw by Tammy Fish is just a wonderful, exciting story. It’s not the same old stories you read about mail order brides. It is an uniquely different kind of story.<br />
This is the first book I’ve read of Tammy Fish and I must say it is fantastic. I would love to see this book become a series.<br />
Dirk’s first wife left him and their son. Selena’s husband was in a horrible accident and never was himself again. After both of their mates died Dirk wants a mother for his young son, but not a real marriage.<br />
Dirk and Selena both want a marriage so they can raise his son, but nothing more. They have both been hurt and just don’t know if they can ever trust another person again.<br />
Follow these two as they go through many trials and seasons. Will they find out about trust and love that only comes from God and will they find the love for each other that they really need?<br />
I truly did enjoy this book. So glad I read it. I highly recommend this book Spring Thaw. Excellent!<br />

<b><span style="color: #783f04;">MY REVIEW</span></b><br />
Caged No More is inspired by real events. This DVD is well put together. It shows how somWord e parents when they don’t have any other way out of their money troubles will go as far as selling their children.<br />
The actors and actresses are Loretta Devine, Kevin Sorbo, Alan Powell and Cassidy Gifford.<br />
It’s really sad to see that these poor sweet girls get locked in a room and live a life of pure terror day after day. There isn’t any escaping unless they die.<br />
In Caged No More the story is about two sisters. One who already was sold and one that is close to being sold into the sex trade.<br />
The DVD shows how people fight for these girls to get them out, but also how some never make it out. A grandmother, the girls Uncle and his son are some that fight this fight. They have to go through a lot and see a lot.<br />
The movie Caged No More ends good, but it is still sad because you know that this will continue to go on for many others.<br />
This is an excellent movie, but it isn’t for younger children. Some scenes will be upsetting, but things like this have to be brought to our attention.<br />
Highly recommend.<br />
