This is an amazing Bible for children.  We have been using it for daily devotions with our 9 year old son, who reads the Bible out loud, and then we discuss what we have read that day.   The illustrations are amazing, the content is easy to read.   This is a great way to enjoy family devotions, and fun for all ages.

I highly recommend this book.

Psalmist I Am

From the Back of the book:

Psalmist, I Am presents emotions and truths found in the book of Psalms. See how your emotions and thoughts of God, as revealed during your journey, align with those of the writers of the Psalms. 

This book brings out the importance the Psalms are in our daily lives.  The Psalms are there when we are in trouble, and when we are blessed.  This book categorizes the Psalms having similar themes together, and Mr. Abner lets us journal our thoughts and emotions to these Psalms.  It is a very thought provoking book.    I recommend this book for Bible Study, and daily devotions.  It may also be a very good evangelism tool.   

Thank you Ray Abner for the opportunity to review this book.

Thirty Days of Bible Study for Busy Mamas

From the back of the book:

It’s not easy, getting into the Word when your house is full of little ones who need you twenty-four hours a day.

But it’s essential.

The goal of this book is to offer special encouragement and help to busy mothers who need the nourishment of God’s Word in their demanding lives. 30 Days of Bible Study for Busy Mamas: Colossians 3 will help you slow down and really study the Bible, even if you can only study for a few minutes at a time.
Here is a simple but deep approach to Bible study, divided into five-minute portions that will leave you encouraged and excited as you discover that you can study the Bible, even when your house is full of children!

This is an interesting book that helps mother's to learn how to study their Bibies.   The author teaches mothers how to mark, and study using Colossians 3.  A very useful book, that can also be used in a formal Bible study group.

Kingdom Woman

In Kingdom Woman, Tony Evans and his daughter, Chrystal Evans Hurst, remind women of their calling from God to be free, delivered, healed, and to have hope. The authors bring insight that encourages women to correct distorted perceptions and understand who they really are in Christ—never settling for less when connected with the One who gives them hope. All believers are covered by God’s covenant with Abraham. Evans and Hurst want women to know these rights and confidently claim and live by them. The new covenant offers more than a life of mediocrity. A kingdom woman is called and empowered to live a life of victory through Christ!
A kingdom woman gives the devil as much reason to fear as a kingdom man. She lives confidently in the knowledge that Christ died and rose for her so that she can experience the significance of the destiny to which she has been called. 

We as women, have very important roles in life.   Mr. Evans and his daughter clearly relate this in their book, "Kingdom Woman".  They state our importance with out usurping our submission to our husbands.  They define and teach us how important we are in God's eyes.  
I also thoroughly enjoyed "Chrystals Chronicles"; She gives a women's perspective that makes us feel like we aren't alone in how we feel about ourselves as women. 

This is a really great book, and I recommend that all women of all ages should read this.

Death Be Not Proud

From the publisher:

Following the vicious attack by a psychotic colleague, and reeling from the suspicion that Matthew Lynes is not all that he seems, Professor Emma D’Eresby flees her college teaching position in Maine to her hometown in England— taking the mysterious seventeenth-century journal she stole from the college’s archives with her.

Broken physically and emotionally, Emma drifts until, fearing for their daughter’s sanity, her parents invite a family friend to assess her. In the course of their conversation, Emma discovers that he spoke to Matthew over thirty years before.

This finally spurs her into action and soon, when she finds what certainly must be a reference to Matthew in the journal, she begins to understand Matthew’s profound secret.

But when Matthew arrives to confess his love for her, she must decide if she can trust him—and he must decide if he can share his extraordinary secret with her. Drawn by a deep connection that both feel but don’t quite understand they find they must set aside their doubts and trust each other.

Readers will be thrilled by the second installment in The Secret of the Journal from British author C. F. Dunn. Mixing suspense, romance, and the supernatural, Death Be Not Proud explores the profound moral implications of a life seemingly invulnerable to time.

This is not a typical book for me, but it was well written, easy to read, and captures your attention.   Although the subject matter wasn't of my choice, those that are interested in the supernatural, and love suspense, with a little romance thrown in, will definitely love this book.  For me there were some unanswered questions, that maybe a third book would answer.

A Most Peculiar Circumstance

About

Miss Arabella Beckett, defender of the down-trodden women of America, is returning from her travels in support of the women's suffrage movement when she makes a simple offer of assistance to a young woman in need. But things go sadly awry, and both ladies soon find themselves in dire need of rescue. Arabella, always loath to admit she needs help, is particularly reluctant to receive assistance from the arrogant, narrow-minded knight in shining armor who shows up just in time.

A well written and captivating book.   Ms. Turano does a great job of keeping our attention, with romance, mystery and comedy.  I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Turano's writing style and look forward to her future books.

For those of you who enjoy historical fiction, this is a must.
