10 christians that everyone should know

10 Christians everyone should know,
by John Perry



 I thought this book looked interesting. so I requested it from booksneeze to review and I read it.

Each chapter is devoted to their lives and what they did and Their Christian influences. Anne Bradstreet, Jane Austen, Sargent York, Washington Carver, D.L moody and others.

I must admit, some chapters were very dry to me, and others were more intriguing; like people I didn't know their story.

Overall, it was a good book.

 3 stars

Redemption review

Redemption: A Rebellious Spirit, a Praying Mother, and the Unlikely Path to Olympic Gold

Redemption,
By Bryon Clay

Its a good book, about a boy, who grew up in Hawii, his Father was abusive and his mother divorced him, he was confused and bitter at a young age, he was a mess, he got in fights.

His mother became a christian and remaired and prayed. She prayed everyday, even when he said it was no use.

And he liked sports. Bryon clay tells his past and tells of his redemption point, when he became a christian.

its a cool book!

got this book from booksneeze for free to review

Herge review

After watching the movie: Tintin 2011, and reading the comic books, I decided to read the bio of Herge, the man who made tintin.
Herge: The Man Who Created Tintin


Herge, the man who created Tintin,
By Pierre Assouline,
4/5 stars




Herge had a very boring life, as the book depicts, he grew up in a family, in Europe, his life, the author said was grey. Herge really liked drawing, he drew on boxes, paper and anything he could find. 


Then he created tintin, the charatar we know now in the comics, a heroic 17 year old boy who is adventures and his backaround? no one really knows his family or where he came from.


The comic tintin orginally was published every week in the newspaper.
The bio also showed he wasn't a happy guy.
