Biblical Answers to Common Questions Heaven Randy Alcorn ~ A Review

ABOUT BIBLICAL ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS HEAVEN
Randy Alcorn, who is both author and narrator, speaks with warmth as he provides a sampling of questions and answers from his book HEAVEN. In a seamless narration he explains why we will meet our loved ones in heaven and whether we will recognize them. He richly describes the splendor of heaven, from streets of gold to walls of precious stones. With an effortless delivery he explains how we can be sure we will go to heaven, then explores the differences between earthly time and heaven, where time is never measured. His interpretation of whether our beloved pets will meet us there is fascinating. Other questions--will we have bodies?-- how we will travel?-- will we bored?--are fascinating.

MY REVIEW
  Biblical Answers to Common Questions about Heaven by Randy Alcorn is simply a beautiful book. It is very short, just 60 pages.
   Some of the questions are: Will Heaven (the New Earth) Be an Actual Place?
Will we Remember What Happened on Earth?
Will There Be Animals on the New Earth?
Will There Be Marriage and Family in Heaven?
Many such questions and very well thought out answers.
  One of my favorite parts in is the chapter about recognizing people in Heaven. Remember at the Transfiguration, the disciples recognized Moses and Elijah, even though they weren’t told who the two men were, and they couldn’t have previously known what they looked like.
  Just reading this precious book has heightened my longing for Heaven. What a wonderful place it will be. Can’t wait. Highly recommend this sweet book.

After The Crash by Michel Bussi A Review

ABOUT AFTER THE CRASH
A night flight from Istanbul bound for Paris, filled with 169 holiday travelers, plummets into the Swiss Alps. The sole survivor is a three-month-old girl--thrown from the plane onto the snowy mountainside before fire rages through the aircraft. But two infants were on board. Is the miracle baby Lyse-Rose or Emilie? Both families step forward to claim the child--one poor, one powerful, wealthy, and dangerous.

Filled with delicious twists and riveting psychological suspense, After the Crash is an electrifying story of a two-decade mystery, secret love, and murder--perfect for the readers who swarmed to Stieg Larsson, Gone Girl, and The Girl on the Train.

MY REVIEW
  After the Crash caught my attention because it was about only one survivor from a plane crash and it was a 3-month old baby. I wish I never had read it. It is the poorest put together book and full of bad language and scenes not fit to read. So why did I read it? All through the book I wanted to find out who the baby belonged to.
There were two babies on the plane and only one survived. So both sets of grandparents fought over the baby and said it was theirs.
    Lylie the baby/person who survived is not in the book much at all.  The court awards her to the grandparents that are poor. They talk about her and try to find out who she is for 18 years. It seems everyone in the book is out for themselves all characters seem to be crazy. All bent on evil.
   If I knew how horrible this book was I never would have read it. I don’t recommend this book and if you happen to read it, I caution you that it is full of things you don’t want to read.

Game Over by Andrew Klavan A Review

ABOUT GAME OVER
This time, there's no escape from The Realm.

The MindWar Realm is a computerized world created by a deranged terrorist named Kurodar. Built through a link between Kurodar's mind and a network of supercomputers, The Realm is a pathway through which the madman can project himself into any computer system on the planet.

Twice before, Rick Dial has entered the Realm as a Mind Warrior and come back alive. But now, something has gone terribly wrong. A connection has formed in Rick's brain that sends him hurtling into The Realm without his consent—and brings the Realm's monsters into the Real World.

As Kurodar works to turn Rick's brain to his own purposes, Rick's waking and sleeping life is ravaged by terrors he never imagined.

Rick knows he has no choice but to face The Realm's final and most powerful protector. But can Rick destroy MindWar without destroying himself and the people he loves?

MY REVIEW
  Game Over by Andrew Klavan is an amazing novel.  It is book three in The Mindwar Trilogy.
    The MindWar Realm is a computerized world created by a deranged terrorist named Kurodar. Built through a link between Kurodar's mind and a network of supercomputers, The Realm is a pathway through which the madman can project himself into any computer system on the planet.

Twice before, Rick Dial has entered the Realm as a Mind Warrior and come back alive. But now, something has gone terribly wrong.  The Boar Soldier was dead. He was in a dream! How could he leave scratches on his wrist?
   The characters are so fully developed and you can imagine the scenes, they seem so real.  Rick, Molly, Rick’s father are such likable characters.
   I enjoyed how the author brought God into the novel and illustrated how we can do anything or escape evil if the Lord isn’t on our side.
   I didn’t read the first two books in this series, but would love to. It isn’t necessary to read them to enjoy this novel, Game Over.
  I highly recommend this fantasy thriller. It is utterly amazing. Loved reading this book.

MY REVIEW
  A Moment of Weakness by Karen Kingsbury is a very good novel. It is book two in the Forever Faithful series. Karen really keeps you attention with her books.
  Jade and Tanner grew up together and became fast friends. Tanner was always saying I will marry her one day. Family problems and Jade moved away and Tanner never knew what happened. His mother knew but she hated the Conner family.
   So they grew up and just happened to find each other again. They had a wonderful summer together and then they had to go on with their lives. Not to give the story away Tanner’s mother told Jade lies and hurt her so much she didn’t want anything to do with Tanner.
  Jade married another and Tanner never knew what happened. To make a long story short Jade’s husband wanted a divorce and wanted their son. So Jade gets Tanner to help fight for him.
  This is an amazing story, but so many hurtful things happen and Jade and Tanner’s mother use and deceive others. I don’t feel like this is a very realistic story. I know we are to forgive and understand how people can do such things, but in this book it is almost like they understood and forgave instantly.  Recommend this book, but not one of my favorites.
