Mary Slessor
Missionary Mother

I was glad to have been excepted to read and review this book, I have loved missionaries stories for a long time, the idea of men and women risking their lives to share the love of Christ with others have always held a great deal of interest to me.

Mary Slessor dreamed of being a missionary to Africa from an early age, and at the age of twenty seven she got the calling to go to Africa where she was able to serve many years as a missionary and bring many people to Christ.  She took in unwanted children and worked up until she got sick and had to go back to Scotland.

This book highlights stories of those who were changed by there decision to come to Christ through a ministry called Grafitti located in New York but those who were changed by the people touched by the decision to come to Christ come from a variety of places.  I found this book to be inspirational and full of hope. 
Five stars for this wonderful book...

Book Review: Divine Makeover

Divine Makeover
God Makes You Beautiful
Sharla Fritz
2014
I believe this book would be beneficial for young women especially those in Junior High or highschool because it is a reminder that how we dress can not only affect how we feel about ourselves but how others perceive us as well but more importantly how we dress can affect our testimony as Christians.
Divine Makeover also shares Bible Study excercises as well as advise such as avoiding those things that cause you envy.  It talks about limiting your time on facebook and spending that time on nurturing those God-Given gifts that you have been given.
Five stars for a wonderful book...

Book Review:Upside Down Devotion

Upside Down Devotion
Extreme Action For A Remarkable God
Taylor Fields
April.07.2014

This devotional is a reminder that God's ways are often the opposite of our ways.  The book reminds us that the art of Upside Down Devotion is deciding just how we are going to let circumstances define us, it also is a reminder that we have a choice on how we react to our circumstances.

Taylor reminds us in Upside Down Devotion that what is inside of us in the heart of Devotion is more important than our outward circumstances.  God see's our heart more than he sees our bank account.

We are reminded to that general tolerance is not doing anyone any favors, that when we do not confront someone who is stealing or committing some other sin then we are not doing any favors.

This is a remarkable book one that I would highly recommend Five out of Five stars...

Book Review: The Approval Fix

The Approval Fix
Joyce Meyer
Copyright 2014

The Approval Fix talks about our need for approval by others and sometimes when we don't get that approval we let it make us question our worth. 

We are reminded in this book that Approval from others should not be whats most important but that we must always put the Lord first.

Book Review: Scraps of Evidence

Scraps of Evidence
Barbara Cameron
Jan.2014

If you are looking to get lost in a good mystery then Barbara Cameron's Scraps Of Evidence is just the book for you...

Tess is an officer who happens to love quilting and Logan makes fun of her for that, but that Hobby is so much more than a hobby to Tess.

I love a good "Cozy Mystery" that tells the story without all the language and explicit details, and Barbara Cameron's Scraps of Evidence does just that.

Five out of Five Stars for a well told story...



Book Review: A Captain For Laura Rose

A Captain For Laura Rose
Stephanie Grace Whitson
March.24.2014

Laura Rose White is a women determined to save her families legacy after tragedy strikes, the only problem is in 1867 a female captain is unheard of.  Despite that though Laura Rose White is determined to do what she can to save her families legacy.  Thankfully her father had taught her everything he knew about piloting a boat.

I loved Laura Rose White's character and her determination, and I found myself cheering her on as she tried to save her families legacy.  If you love historical fiction, that is well researched with a touch of romance, and plenty of adventure than A Captain for Laura Rose is the book for you.

Five out of five stars, for this wonderful book of historical fiction.
