The Grace of God review


The Grace of God, by Andy Stanley.
Andy Stanley goes into the Bible through the old testament to the new testament and shows you God's examples of Grace and how he showed it to the people that didn't deserve it. from the Garden of Eden to the early churches in Acts.
I really liked the book, It gave me great insights I have never seen before and made me realize we're all sinners, even how great we sin and we all don't deserve Grace but he's given it to us any ways.

I got this book for free from booksneeze to review

wishing for tomarrow



Wishing for tomarrow by Hilary Mc.kay,
is the sequel to a little princess. Its after Sara Crewe leaves the semminary for girls school. But the other girls like Jessica, Gertrude, Ermengarde and lottie and lavina are still there. And miss Minchin still remembers Sara in distaste. Ermengarde writes to Sara and misses her. Lavinia is still a stuck up girl and Lottie the mischievous girl.

I didn't like it very much, it was to modern in its writing though it was set back then. the writer does have imagination though to was happened after a little princess.

inside the voyage of the dawn treader review



Inside the voyage of the dawn treader by Devin Brown,
nearing the movie release of the voyage of the dawn treader, I was fully interested in reading this book. so I got it free from bethanyhouse publishers to review. I have to say I got more then I expected.

Devin Brown goes through all the chapters of the book: the Voyage of the dawn treader and tries to find symbolic meanings to C.S lewis's life, for instance, why the wizard with Lucy only ate bread. " Was C.S lewis a bread eater and he didn't like meat?" was the question. he goes back into the other writings that C.S. lewis wrote and quotes them to what is relevant to the story.

over all, I thought it was a very sluggish read.

under the lilacs review



thanks to Charity at:  http://austenitis.blogspot.com/, she's the one who got me to read under the lilacs, because she read it and I thought it sounded so cute!

Under the lilacs by Lousia May alcott
Its about two little girls, Bab and Betty, Ben, a run away boy who has no father who used to work at a circus, Thorny, a boy who is in a wheel chair and his older sister Celia. Its a sweet story, its about growing up. its one of those books that leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling and you say '' awww'' after you read it.

Its not really adventures. its fiction and its a good classic!

5 stars

I really recommend you read it!
