The Daniel Cure

I went through this book just to see what all the 'hoopla' was about. I chose it from among several offered by Booksneeze for free in exchange for writing a blog of my opinion of it. They are in no way compensate me for writing in any way other than giving me the book to read.
   I found a lot of sound advise and interesting information in here as well as some good recipes. I may be more inclined to follow the advise in this book if I lived in the country and could grow my own food, or if I lived in the city where I had a variety of food options, but living in a small mining town the Daniel cure just wasn't something I am able to do. We have one little grocery store (an IGA) and the selection and quality of vegetables is just not something that makes following this food plan doable.
   I HAVE however started eating healthier and am more conscience of what I eat and how much I'm eating. I also did a three day fast a few weeks ago. (I know its not three weeks, but its better than nothing, right? lol.) It helped detox my system and I felt better for it.
   If you are looking for a lifestyle change and have the means to fast and eat primarily vegetables, this book is a good starting point. If you want to learn about being healthier and want some good recipes to try, this book is also a good choice. If you want to remain unhealthy and live on junk food and be a couch potato, then skip buying this book. It will just be a waste of money. And if you are offended by the mention of God and spiritual things, don't buy this book. (As you should know from just the title.)
   I enjoyed reading The Daniel Cure and I learn some stuff that will hopefully help me be healthier. I just wasn't able to fully follow the advice I found in it.

Its been a while since I have written a book review. I've been reading this book for a while! And I'm still not finished with it! I usually jet through a book pretty fast, but this one has been very hard to get excited about reading. I started it the moment I received it from Booksneeze (free in exchange for my honest review), but after only about three pages I have been having a problem picking it up to finish it. I am finding it to be boring, and the main character I find to be shallow, whiny, and childish. I have been trying ot get through it so I can write this review and put this book behind me! There are cute parts in it (like Humphery, the Basset hound) but this book just leaves me cringing. There isn't much good I can say about it and only so much bad, so this is about the extent of my review. Maybe I'm just not in the right mood to enjoy this drivel, but at any rate I found this book to be highly annoying. (I have been writing reviews for Booksneeze for a few years now and this is my first bad review. I kinda feel bad about it being a bad review, but that is my honest opinion, which is what Booksneeze asks for.) I do not care for the characters or this author's writing style, so I will not be reading anymore stories by this author.

DOMINATION: The C.H.A.O.S. Trilogy, Book 3

I got this book free through Booksneeze, in return for writing a blog about it and a review of my opinion.
In no way have I been compinsated for writing a GOOD review. An honest opinion is all that was asked for. So here it is......

I have enjoyed this trilogy very much. Naturally it is slightly 'childish' because it is written for youth, but in no way does that detract from the enjoyment I got from it. It was full of action and adventure and its clean (no swearing etc.) and well written.

I found the final book in the C.H.A.O.S. trilogy to be very interesting. The main character is Colt McAlister. He is a teenager who has been 'altered' by alien DNA to try to create a human that that is powerful enough to conquer the Thule, an alien race that is determined to kill all humans and take over Earth.

His grandfather used to by 'The Phantom Flyer' during WWII. His job was to bring hope to the people. Now that we are in a war with the Thule and people are losing hope that we will be able to win this war, The Phantom Flyer is brought back...only this time its Colt, continuing his grandfather's legacy. He isn't thrilled at first to be required to travel around putting on a 'show' to boost peoples moral, when he thinks he would be better off training and fighting Thule, but he soon finds out that he can fight Thule AND put on moral-boosting shows.

Not only does he get to fight the Thule here, he also gets taken to another planet and he fights them there also! And in the end, he 'gets the girl'.What better way is there to end the last book in this trilogy?

I have gotten attached to these characters, so I hope there are more books about them. This book ends in a way that makes it seem like Jon S. Lewis may write another 'trilogy' with these same characters, but he may also have just left it that way so your imagination can fill in their future with a lot more adventure.

I have read Heaven Is For Real and now this book. I enjoyed them both and they both have their good points but I enjoyed Heaven Is For Real more than this one. Maybe because Heaven Is For Real came at a crucial point in my life, shortly after my Dad had passed away, and I could imagine him with Jesus. 

This book, Heaven Changes Everything, is a nice read and encouraging. It is an inspiration. It tells of the lessons that Colton's parents learned along their journey and gives a deeper understanding to how their son's experience effected them. How they grew through it. It is an enjoyable read and very uplifting. I would recommend it.

I have gotten nothing in return for writing this review except this book for free. The opinion expressed here is mine. I am not required to give a 'good' review if my opinion of the book isn't good. 

I read this book several months ago, then loaned it out to several friends. I have gotten it back and am reading it again. I LOVE this book. John MacArthur writes like he is having a conversation with you. Very easy to read. He breaks down how to truly surrender to the lordship of Christ and become the best possible servant to our Savior. I found myself admiring the truths in this book. So many ministers sugar coat the Word, and while John isn't harsh or offensive, he does tell it like it is! We can't continue to live our lives as we did before Christ came into it, and expect to reap the full benefit of Him being our Savior. We must surrender to Christ's leadership. John leads the reader through the scriptures on a journey of self discipline and submission the the will of Jesus. He tells HOW to grow closer to Christ, on a daily basis, and backs it up with scriptures. I will be getting more of his books. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one.

Blog Merge

I have been having the worst time logging into my craft blog so I have decided to merge the two blogs and only have to keep up with one. I hope this works out okay and I don't mess things up too badly. Lol. So from now on this will be my craft AND book blog. I will be making changes along the way to try to make it the best that I can.

A Triple Threat novel

The Triple Threat is made up of Cassidy the crime reporter, Nicole the FBI agent, and Allison the federal prosecutor. Together they help stop criminals and bring justice when laws are broken.

I had never heard of them before this book, but I so enjoyed this novel and I WILL be reading more of this series.

In this story, the Triple Threat is broken and reshaped, The crimes becomes personal. Murder and terror follow them wherever they go.They have to figure out who is behind it before it is too late.

They find a true friend in a P.I. by the name of Ophelia. Ophelia is a bit on the eccentric side, but she is very smart and she is an awesome investigator. They enlist her help because they aren't "officially" allowed on the case, but they HAVE to find the criminal.

There is great loss but also growth in this story. They learn that losing someone they love doesn't mean that there is no more good in life. It just means that life has changed. The writing is fairly graphic (but not terribly bad). I found it disturbing in a few places but I think it was mostly because I lost my Dad recently and the details brought back some unwelcome memories. But, really, what do you expect from a murder mystery? There are going to be descriptions of dead bodies! Lol.

I found this book to be very enjoyable to read and it has re-awakened my like of mysteries. I haven't read a good mystery in a long time, but I will be seeking them out after this novel.

I only have one complaint and it is not about the story but about the format. I get books for free from Book Sneeze in exchange for writing a review. I normally get the printed books but this time they didn't have one I found interesting. When I saw this one as an ebook, I decided it was worth trying. I don't have an ereader but I do have Kindle for PC so I can read ebooks on my laptop. I MUCH prefer a print book. I found it uncomfortable to have to read this on my computer. I couldn't take it with me anywhere. So I have decided I will either have to get an ereader, or just print books from Book Sneeze (which seems to be becoming more and more rare!) or just suck it up and keep reading them on my laptop. Lol. (I do wish Book Sneeze had more books in print, though.)

If you like murder mysteries then this is the book (series) for you!

Heart of Gold

   Here is the latest and, in my opinion, probably the best romance I have ever read. This one is set back in 1864, during the Civil War Era. A pastor from Virginia moves to "rough-and-tumble" Grand Coeur, Idaho to open a church there and to try to keep his daughter, Shannon, safe from the war. She, naturally, hates it there and only wants to move back to the more "civilized" land that she calls home.
   The stage coach driver that brings them to Grand Coeur is temporarily retiring from driving stage coaches for Well Fargo and is taking a "desk job" so that he can care for his ailing sister and her 10 year old son. He figures he will start driving again once his sister is back in good health.
   Enter the suave Southern gentleman that Shannon feels she has something in common with (after all, he is the only other Southerner in that primitive town), and he understands her feelings about the "Yankees" and how she misses her home.
   This is a story of how God's plans are not always what we have planned for our lives. But His plans ARE always the best thing for us.
   This isn't just a typical falling in love story. There is a story of growth, and of how life changes us and how we look at things. There is also a mystery to be solved...who is robbing the stage and how to stop them before someone gets killed. The romance takes place in the midst of the story of friendships grown, loss of loved ones, and trying to find out who the "bad guys" are. It has a real feel to it that most "romances" are sadly lacking.
   I will be on the lookout for more books by Robin Lee Hatcher. She is a brilliant novelist and I would recommend her books to everyone. (Now I have to make a trip to the library to look for more books by her, so see you all next time and God bless you all.)
