Resurrection Day {Paradise Praises Review}

by

Spring is in the air where we live and this means that Resurrection Day is coming up fast as well.  I am always looking for great ways to teach the kids the meaning behind our holidays while keeping it fun and interesting.  Katie Hornor has created a wonderful Easter Activity and Coloring Book appropriately titled: Resurrection Day.  
Resurrection Day: An Easter Activity & Coloring Book is a English/Spanish coloring book that contains 30 pages of fun for yourself or your child.  This book is jam packed with activities from word puzzles to letter formation to coloring pages, all in one book.  The last few pages are in Spanish but are easy to decode for those who may not have any instruction in Spanish at this point.  
The English version of this coloring book is published by Paradise Praises, a company ran by Katie and family.  The Spanish version of this coloring book is published by the sister company, Lemonhass.  Both are wonderful activity books that you will love using with your little ones.
I love the simple designs in this coloring book and the formatting for the writing inside.  They are impactual enough to capture my child’s attention but not overwhelming.  And as I said already, they are simply fun!

Resurrection Day: An Easter Activity & Coloring Book by Katie Hornor is available for purchase online both through Paradise Praises and through Lemonhaus.  The sale link for this item leads to purchase on Amazon for $6.99 currently with Prime shipping.   Purchasing the book allows a Single Use reproducible license for your family.  You may also purchase a group license for use in Church or other larger group formats.

Pieces of Me by Diana Lynn {CWA Review}

by

Diana Lynn is the author of Pieces of Me: Life of a Recovering Dysfunctional.  Diana is a wife, mother, friend, business owner but her life wasn’t always perfect.  Diana struggled for many years with the trials of her life but in the end she overcame them to find happiness and love.

Diana wrote the book Pieces of Me to share her story with others.  Her hope is to inspire and encourage others who may go through the same things she has in life.  Her story is one that gives hope and shows the reader how to have faith to keep going in their lives.

As a Mother who has been in an abusive relationship, who has had a husband who’s first priority was not keeping a roof over his families head, who has had to walk away and start over more than once, I found Diana’s story encouraging and inspiring.  It took Diana many years to realize that she was special and didn’t deserve the things she was facing in her life.  It’s taken me many years to do the same.  Despite the challenges of life, though, we are both finding our way to a much happier and blessed life than we could have ever expected.

If you’re looking for an inspirational read, this is it.  Pieces of Me is one story you won’t want to miss out on.  Grab a copy online today for $7.99 Kindle or $10.99 in Paperback.

How To Stop Believing The Lies {Book Review}

by

This week, two of my favorite people online collaborated to write a book and release it.  Shawnee Penkacik and Dana Adams have been an important part of my life and journey for many years now.  They’ve been two of my biggest supporters and cheerleaders through some of my most difficult life choices.  Now I get to cheer and support for both of them.

How To Stop Believing The Lies Of The Enemy And Start Believing The Truth Of God’s Word is written by two amazing women who use God’s word to guide their lives each and every day.  It is their mission to help others do the same.  Through this book and their personal testimonies, God shines.

This book reaches to the heart of the hurting woman to change their personal thoughts, to help them stop believing the lies that today’s society makes us think is the only way to believe.  Lies like you are ugly, I’m not worth it, I can’t do this and am not talented.  Lies like our lives are too broken, I’m a failure, my life is too messy.  These lies that really hurt us as women.

We try to fit into this world when really the only place we need to fit in is in God’s World.  This is not our home or our final resting place and these lies are not ones that God has ever wanted any of us to believe.  We fall into the trap that is Evil guiding the way, trying to tear us down.  God wishes for us to see ourselves and our lives differently.

Through How To Stop Believing The Lies Of The Enemy, we learn to not fall prey to these lies.  We learn the Biblical verses that help to restore our faith and our personal beliefs in God.  We learn that these lies have no hold upon our lives.

Shawnee and Dana have succeeded in creating a guide that brings these lies to the forefront and helps us to destroy the thoughts they create within us.  They are currently working to create videos and a study to go along with this book to further help women like you and me destroy these beliefs in ourselves.  Their ministry is already helping to change lives and will continue to do so as time goes on.

You can grab your copy of How To Stop Believing The Lies Of The Enemy And Start Believing The Truth Of God’s Word on Amazon today for Kindle  at the introductory price of $1.99.  You can also order the physical book for $16.99.

I promise this book will change you and help you see that you are not a failure, that you are not a broken and that God has a purpose for your life.

The Whole Thing Together – Ann Brashares {Book Review}

by

Ann Brashares
I’m a HUGE fan of Ann Brashares.  From day one when I read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Book One.  Then through the entire series which I read before it was ultra popular and turned into a movie.
I’ve read other books of hers as well.  So when I saw The Whole Thing Together, I knew it was a must-read for me!  Another great novel for my Ann Brashares collection.
The Whole Thing Together shares the story of Sasha and Ray and their somewhat odd family.  Sasha and Ray grew up in the same house but never at the same time.  They were almost the same age, save for a few weeks.  They had different parents but they shared the most amazing sisters.
Throughout life, Sasha and Ray shared everything.  The same bed.  The same shoes at some points.  The same toys.  The same bathroom. The same books.  But not once through their entire life had they ever met.  They’d barely even seen each other except in pictures or the occasional far away glance from the car pulling from the drive of the house their families shared.
Though this was a wonderful book, it was an odd story line to follow and a bit hard to keep up with even for a pro-reader like me.  There were some fun perks, like when Ray and Sasha shared a job: their two halves making a whole for working over the Summer.
The best thing about the book is the wonderful relationship they had with their families and especially their siblings!  Kids from mixed up homes need great stories like this to show them what a “normal” family should be even in it’s oddness.
You can find The Whole Thing Together by Ann Brashares online at Amazon in Kindle, Softcover and Hardcover format.

Messy Journey {Book Launch Review}

by

Messy Journey

Lori Wildenberg

Have you ever faced a challenge in life you just weren’t sure about?  Have you ever wondered what God thinks?  Do you wish there was a book to help you through the tough times or tough topics like sex before marriage, sexual orientation, gender issues, living with a partner while unmarried and more?  Messy Journey by Lori Wildenberg helps in dealing with these tough questions, showing you how to find strength in God’s word while facing these tough choices that other’s (and we) sometimes make.


As a parent, Lori Wildenberg was faced with a tough situation when her daughter chose a different path then Lori’s beliefs provided for.  Lori found herself searching for answers and peace with her daughter’s life choices, while Lori’s daughter found herself in the opposite place of trying to find peace with her own decisions for her life.  This situation and Lori’s search to find peace and truth in God’s word led her to writing this book for all parent’s and person’s who may find themselves in a similar situation.

As a person who has lived in Sin many years of my life, I am often in the situation of being judged for my personal choices as well as feeling guilty for those choices.  In the past, I have personally made the decision to cohabitate without being married, as well as have sex without marriage with the men I have lived with.  Though today’s world is filled with sins like my own, I find it’s still a very judged situation.  I have often wished for a book that reached my soul on the subject, showing me how to ask forgiveness for myself as well as how to live despite my sins and judgments against me. 

Messy Journey has been a blessing to me.  I know it will be a blessing to others.  Lori doesn’t condone these sins but she does not condemn them either.  She shows us that we each have to make our own choices, good and bad.  She shows that God still loves despite of these choices, that His Faith is always strong for us, even when ours is weak.  She shows us that God has a bigger plan and that we should never give up.  We should always be willing to forgive as God has shown grace and forgiveness to each of us through all eternity.

Messy Journey helps show the way home to God and all His Love for us.  This book is one that speaks to your soul and helps you get through the toughest times.  As a parent, an aunt, a woman, I found this book to be enlightening in so many ways on so many things that touch my life.  It will definitely be a benefit to others who, like me, struggle to find hope in the dark times and strength in believing when choices seem to be the opposite of what they should be.

Messy Journey is for so much more than the struggling parent.  It’s for the struggling Aunt, the struggling sister, the struggling child.  You can grab your copy of Messy Journey today for $13.48 in paperback on Amazon or $9.99 on Kindle.

You can find Lori Wildenberg at her online home, Eternal Moments with Lori Wildenberg.
