Veiled By Privilege by Anne Evans {Review}

March 27, 2018 by Dana

Veiled By Privilege (Radical Book 1)Veiled By Privilege by Anne Garboczi Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ll be honest… when I first began reading this book I thought, this isn’t for me. It was far from what I usually read but I was determined to give it my best. I am amazed by this book. Anne Evan’s writing is just outstanding. She truly knows how to bring the characters to life! I was so impressed by the whole thing.

I don’t know a lot about life outside the US, as this is where I’ve always lived but this book brought about an interesting look at life in Saudi Arabia. The things those beautiful women go through is just shocking and truly upsetting. And they are taught that it’s okay.

This book tells the story of Kay, a naive girl who just wants to complete her PHD and Joe, a military expert who is nothing you’d expect. Kay uses a passport of a friend to get into a foreign country, completely unaware of the customs and danger she is walking into. Joe is there by military assignment and thank God for that since Kay puts herself into more danger than you can ever believe, just by being her American self. The two face danger after danger, life threatening circumstances and so much more.

You will have to read this one to find out what happens but I promise this is not a book you want to pass up. Anne Evans created an unforgettable story with this one.

God Loves Daddy & Me {FrontGate Review}

June 7, 2017 by Dana

God Loves Daddy & Me
Bonnie Rickner Jensen
Boardbook $6.50
This review comes to us from FrontGate Blogger Network.  We were gifted a free copy of God Loves Daddy & Me by Bonnie Rickner Jensen.  A few weeks ago we reviewed another book in this series called God Loves Mommy & Me also written by Bonnie Rickner Jensen.  You can read that review here.
God Loves Daddy & Me is very similar to God Loves Mommy & Me in design and artwork which are both done by Laura Watkins.  Laura and Bonnie work great together to create adorably intriguing books for children.  These books are simply awesome!

God Loves Daddy & Me features an adorable Raccoon Daddy and baby.  These guys really make you want to cuddle them up.  God Loves Mommy and Me featured an adorable set of Bunnies.  The Raccoons are a little more manly, in my opinion, which is great since this story is about Daddy!
The story takes the Raccoons on an adventure together showing all the way through that God is there and God loves them both.  They build forts, they go out in their boat, they take walks together just to talk.  One of my favorite parts is how they work together to get things done, like chores and then they can have lots of fun!
They play and camp, they hug and love and forgive one another.  And best of all, they pray.  Together they pray for the good and the bad in their days.
This is a wonderful christian book for your little one and just in time for Father’s Day!  You can grab a copy of God Loves Daddy & Me for $6.50 from Amazon.  You’ll love adding this one to your library at home.

Out Live Your Life {Book Review}

October 26, 2010 by Dana

Out Live Your Life by Max Lucado
Published by Thomas Nelson
Available in bookstores and online at Amazon.com
Website: Out Live Your Life
Max Lucado proves once again what an inspiring Christian author he is in Out Live Your Life.  In this book, Lucado shows examples of how Christians in Jesus’s time led ordinary, and yet extraordinary lives, and he challenges each of us with suggestions and questions that lead us to out live our own ordinary lives.  In true, What Would Jesus Do form, only instead showing us how ordinary men became disciples of Jesus, sharing the Father’s Word and leading other’s to Christ himself.  At the end of the book is a section of questions to dive even further into each chapter of the book, creating an in depth study of Out Living Life or at the very least, living life to the fullest for God’s Will.  Anyone aspiring to Out Live their own life for the Glory of God will greatly benifit from reading this wonderful book.  I know it has touched my life, like many other books by Mr. Lucado.

This World We Live In by Susan Beth Pfeffer {Book Review}

March 13, 2010 by Dana

This World We Live In
Susan Beth Pfeffer

Picture a world where life is no longer as we know it, but instead, due to a catastrophic collision our moon has created a blah, grey world of lifelessness, death and uncertainty. This is the scene that Susan Beth Pfeffer portrays in The Dead and The Gone, Life As We Knew It, and This World We Live In, the third book of her series.

The World We Live In, Susan Beth Pfeffer, Houghton Mifflin, Harcourt

This World We Live In tells the story of Miranda, a young girl whose family is trying to survive in the disastrous aftereffects of a global catastrophe a year after it happened. Miranda’s family has to learn to work together, accept life as it now is, to love and persevere at all costs, even in death. They also learn along the way that family is not always who is related by blood, but instead who is brought into your life in times of struggle, for reasons beyond our own knowledge.

I really enjoyed reading this story, as it kept me captivated throughout. The wonder of how this family would survive through the changes in weather, what they would find as time passed on, and how they were going to make it through after such harrowing circumstances made me to not want to put this book down. It left me wondering what if the world was to suffer a catastrophe, how would we survive? Would I be as strong as Miranda and her family? I can only hope that I would indeed have as much courage and faith as the family portrayed in this book.

This World We Live In by Susan Beth Pfeffer will be available around April 1, 2010 through Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishers, retailing, in hardback, for around $17. Recommended for teens, some content may be a bit too graphic for youth under 13 years of age.
