I would die for you

I would die for you by Brent Higgins, Deanna Higgins
I Would Die for You: One Student's Story of Passion, Service and Faith
The book is about BJ, a student, the youngest in his family who had a real passion for God at a young age.
He went with short term missions to puru. And he was always going to tell any body about Christ. He was only 16, when he got a disease in his lungs. and he died shortly after. the book is like a memoir of him, what he did.

I really liked it. I had a question in my mind of if the youngest child goes into missions because I never read those stories where the youngest kid goes to missions. the book answered my question. it was a really good book!

I requested a book.
i like books

I want to read all the books on politics. so I can say: I've read that book, that was a good book
so why I am requesting the Faith of condoleezza Rice is because she worked with this guy:

Book reveiew, A walkthru the book of Ruth

Walk Thru the Book of Ruth, A, , 978-0-8010-7169-0
A walkthru the book of Ruth, A Bible study about loyalty and love is the theme of the book. The book has sessions for small groups and discussion questions at the end of each session. There are also study notes placed in the book.
I was disappointed with the book, expecting it to go more into the depth of it, of the setting, explaining the traditions that they did.
all ages
3 out of 5 stars
I recieved this book freely from Bethany House publishers to review

Three Hills, Alberta, Canada, July 26, 1433 or thereabouts.

I graduated from grade eight when I was 23. Actually, I went to Prairie Bible College and studied journalism and short-story writing for a time.

Annual 4-week visit to Hawaii! I wish. Probably keeping the wonderful traditions of Christmas together. Norwegian Lefsa and Christmas porridge and trying to remember that it’s Jesus’s birthday, not ours.

I am the youngest of five children. And the best looking without a doubt. (3 brothers, one lucky sister)

My favorite book is the Bible. This week I read three. John Grisham’s latest, Philip Yancey’s What Good Is God?, and a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

whats your favorite kind of music?

I’m a ‘70s and ‘80s music fan. And some of my children’s music I like. Chris Rice is perhaps my current favorite.
