Book Review: No Worst, There is None

No Worst, There Is None
Eve McBride
Dundurn
Dundurn

Though fictionalized this book is based on the 1986 murder of a budding eleven year old up and coming track star named Allison Pittman in Toronto Canada.

This book is an intense painful read because it notbonly deals with themurder of an eleven year old girl but her sexual insult as well.  

No, Worst There is None is a well written and well researched book but it deals with Heavy Topics because so I recommend this book for those who are fifteen and older.

Four out of five stars

Book Review: Jesus, Jihad and Peace

Jesus, Jihad, and Peace
 
What Does Bible Prophecy Say About World Events Today?
Michael Youssef
Worthy Publishing

Michael Youssef speaks openly of his experience in the Islam Culture a born again Christian.

Michael Youssef speaks a little bit of his life in Egypt and he reminds us that we as Americans should care about what is happening in the Middle East because what is happening there now does effect us.  

The differences in the beliefs of Christians and Muslims are pointed out by comparing and contrasting verses from the Bible as well as passages from the Koran.  And he points out how one study shows that how Christianity is perhaps the most persecuted religion in the world and certainly in the Middle East especially in Islamic nations where Christian Missionaries are risking their lives.

I give this powerful and informative book Five out of Five Stars...

Book Review: Onyx Heart

Onyx Heart
Donna Cambell
2011

If you like Vampire tales I think you will love Donna Cambell's Christian approach to the vampire story.  I know I did.

Luke has been blind for three years, the same night he lost his sight he had lost his beloved Melinda.  Sometimes he still reaches out to her in the middle of the night only to find emptiness.  Despite his blindness Luke runs his ranch well, not a man is hired without his say, and with the help of Melba his housekeeper and her teenage son he is able to function well, but sometimes he wakes up wondering why the darkness then he remembers.

Melba does tend to get carried away in her protectiveness of Luke at times, sending search parties out for him when he wanders on his own wanting time to get away or think.  Soon Luke finds himself needing Melba's care though and he hates that helpless vulnerable feeling.

In his time of sickness Luke is seduced by a vampire who calls itself Celeste and is even promised he would get his sight back but taking what the power the vampire offers could lead to dire consequences.  Soon Luke finds himself with an uncontrollable thirst for blood and realizes he has been turned into a vampire. He does not get his sight back though and travels through the centuries without his sight.

I give this book five out of five stars...
