All I See Are Stripes-Book Review

I chose the book "All I See Are Stripes" by Teresa White from Dorrance Bookstore because I thought it would be a great book for my grandchildren.

This book is about a zebra among many horses. This story teaches us that it is okay to be different. This is a cute story with adorable pictures. I enjoyed reading this story and I think any child would benefit from the story.

God makes us all unique and it is okay to be ourselves. This book doesn't reference God, but it would be very easy to use it as a lesson when teaching small children that we are each unique and God made us to be that way.

I was given this book at no cost to give my honest opinion.

Embracing Your Second Calling-Book Review

I chose to review Embracing Your Second Calling by Dale Hanson Bourke from Booksneeze because I feel that I am in the second half of my life now. Upon beginning this book I could tell right away it was meant for me at this time in my life. This is a well written book about the second half of our lives as women. The author uses the story of Naomi in the book of Ruth as a parallel.

This book would be a great for any woman entering that time in her life when everything seems to change. There is a point in our lives as women when we are busy raising our family and trying to do everything we are expected to do. But as we get older and our children grow up and move out, it seems that our passion seems to change. We are not so worried about the things in life that really doesn’t matter anymore. This book helps us embrace this time in our life and shows us that God can use us in a tremendous way.

I would highly recommend this book to any woman that is beginning that second phase in life. This book would work great for group study as well. I was given this complimentary copy to review and this is my honest opinion of the book.

Sarah's Garden-Book Review

I recently received the book Sarah’s Garden A Patch of Heaven Novel by Kelly Long from Booksneeze. I chose this book because I have a dear friend that loves reading about the Amish. I have never read any books about the Amish, but have heard most of them were very good. I decided to try this one and see what I thought.

I really enjoyed this book. At first it started out a little slow I thought, but it quickly became a book I didn’t want to put down. One thing I didn’t like about the book is that some of the phrases were written in the Amish language, but you soon get used to it and there is a key at the beginning of the book so you know what is being said.

This is a story of an Amish girl who falls in love with an outsider and the conflict that is going on in her heart. This is the first book in a series and I will be looking forward to the next one to come out. I don’t think you will be disappointed in this book.

I received a copy of this book as a complimentary copy to review. The above review is my honest opinion of the book.
