The Kissing Hand


This book shows the anxiety that our children as well as us Mothers go through, when seperated from each other. The bond of a Mother and child is the strongest, and this book is such a sweet reminder of that love. For young ones heading off to school, the world without Mother can seem very scary. This gives us a sweet idea as to a way to ease that seperation anxiety. I really love reading this with my child. Soup for the soul! Your child will love this. And if you are like me, so will you. Pick up a copy and enjoy a moment with that special someone in your life.


I received a copy of this book free from the publisher for my honest opinion.

Armageddon


This book is as exciting as any of the others, plain and simple, if you have read the previous ten then you probably have no need to read this
 review. The books are that darn good that you can't stop reading them.
The imagery in this book is what makes it so good. Just picturing seeing the horses of the Apocalypse riding by you - there would be no words.
 There will be no denying Christ in the end days. The bible references continue in this book and I feel the book enhances the scripture and
stays with it. I love the writing because it makes it real and the situations are believeable. The characters are well developed by this time
if you have read the series all the way through. I love the story line and it is worth the read.  With Christ's return eagerly awaited,
 Tribulation Force member face the greatest trials thus far in the tribulation. In this book, we see major changes in the main characters.
 It is difficult to say who will survive until the Glorious Appearing. As the Antichrist's armies mass on the plains of Meggido, the tension
is as finger-biting level. This book is definitely one of my favorites of the series. I just love how Dr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkins take so much
 scripture and turn it into a very fascinating fictional story that is highly based on truth.I loved this series, the books are exciting and
 are very quick reads. Pick up the first one, i'll bet you can't put them down after that!

Soul Harvest

The vivid writing of Lahaye and Jenkins makes it possible to visually put yourself into the scene and almost experience the subject matter
firsthand.
 These are great writings and do a great job
 of bringing the Word of God to life in a new and vibrant manner.
 This installment has enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested from start to finish.
This book matches the intensity and excitment of the prior three installments, using the environment outlined in the Book of Revelations
to tell the continuing story of Rayford Steele, Buck Williams and the rest of the Tribulation Force.
I cannot even begin to imagine what these characters are going through with not only having to experience the many grueling judgments but
 also having to stand face to face with the Antichrist.
I am loving each and every one of these books. Even those who do not believe should read this series. It is action packed and will take you
through all the emotions and bring you close to the characters.
 I enjoy them because they make the rapture and the prophesies of what is to come so real, the meaning of the prophesies are intrepreted by
the authors but they make sense. The characters are real and are flawed, they make mistakes, they fight for what they believe, they experience
 pain and agony, happiness and joy. You want to be there with them, helping in the cause, at the same time you hope to never have to be there,
 that you're taken in the rapture and not left behind. This book matches the intensity and excitment of the prior three installments, using
the environment outlined in the Book of Revelations
to tell the continuing story of Rayford Steele, Buck Williams and the rest of the Tribulation Force.This installment has enough twists
 and turns to keep the reader interested from start to finish. I am loving each and every one of these books.

Nicolae


Book three in the Left Behind series:
This book in the Left Behind series is called Nicolae but Nicolae is harldy even in this book. Again, this entry in the series focuses
 almost entirely on the private lives of Rayford, Buck and friends. It further details the trials that they go through after the rapture.
 These books are not written to convince people of one Rapture doctrine or another. Rather, they have the message of God's love for his
 people thoughout.The book follows Rayford Steele and Buck Williams as they work for Nicolae Carpathia, whom they realize to be the
 Antichrist. The story has some major conflicts, and some serious tension, while still maintaining the facts and message of Revelations.
The action and suspense of this third book are mesmerizing as well as entertaining. The "evil one" is portrayed magnificently. The members
 of the Tribulation Force become truly identifiable as real people.I enjoyed this book because it is a fascinating look at what COULD
 happen at the end of time. How the "Rapture" will effect the global economy, politics, and families. How easily people can be deceived
 and killed with kindness. It makes the reader reflect on what he or she would do in that situation. It was a very easy read, and very
 entertaining. I will absolutely be reading the next in the series.

Left Behind by Jerry B jenkins and Tim LaHaye



This is a fictional account of the end times. The plot is accurately dipicted, as in the book of Revelation. Tim LaHaye and Jerry B jenkins
 have did a great job theorizing what the rapture and following times will be like. I was so into this book, that I couldn't put it down!
The characters were so believable, and draw you into their lives and turmoil. It is a scary thought that this could happen, and I think
they did a great job spreading the message about the rapture.The authors did an amazing job on the debut of this series. I could see the
chaos of a world after the Rapture. I felt the fear and the confusion. I almost felt as if I was there experiencing the rapture. Even if
 you have seen the movie, you really need to read the book. So much detail is left out in the  movie. I highly recommend this book to
christians and non-christians alike! This is only the first in a series , so definitely give this book a chance. You will not be
 disappointed!

Max On Life by Max Lucado

We all have the most challenging questions, genuine, extremely important questions that cannot be ignored, questions that defy answers
What proof do we have that the resurrection really happened? Do people who have never heard of God get to go to heaven? Why do bad things
 happen to good people? How can you teach a child humility without destroying his self-esteem? And what's really permissible in the Christian
 marriage bed?
As a pastor, Max Lucado received thousands of questions and wrestled with plenty of his own. Big questions about life and faith, heaven and hell
 and closer to home, dilemmas about sex, money, career, family, etc. In this book, Max answers all these questions - all 172 of them in a very
 down to earth, honest and biblical way.
Here Is where Max Lucado stands out- He responds in a way that not only answers the question, But does so by telling an enchanting story but
 includes Scripture Verses to support it.
I like the the down to earth, relateable style. Another winner from Max Lucado!!

Galileo By Mitch Stokes

  Despite a debilitating life-long illness, Galileo changed physics from a purely philosophical subject into one involving
 mathematics and careful observation.  But his innovations didn’t stop there.  He also challenged beliefs about the very
 structure of the universe, arguing that the earth moves around the sun at dizzying speeds.  And, using the telescope,
 Galileo showed philosophers that the sun, moon, and stars aren’t made of an ethereal and unchangeable “fifth element”
 but are composed of the same stuff that ordinary terrestrial objects are. 
      But suggesting such dramatic changes made philosophers uncomfortable.  And because philosophers were unable to
refute Galileo on their own playing field, they sought help from theologians, sending Galileo head long into a conflict
 with church officials.  Galileo appealed to church fathers like St. Augustine to prevent the theologians from making what
 he saw as a tragic mistake.  But intrigues, personality clashes, and misunderstandings led to Galileo’s famous trial and
 condemnation, events misinterpreted as showing a fundamental conflict between science and religion.

Yummy Read!

 This book is a collection of humorous stories, tips on helping
 yourself feel better, growing in a relationship to God, and quite
 a few delicious chocolate recipes that are mostly quick and easy.I
 enjoyed the stories of other people that I could connect with
This is the first of Karen Scalf Linamen's books that I have read.
. It is full of inspiration from women just like us who have
 traveled rough roads, bounced over rocky terrain, and survived
 by relying on God, and of course, consuming a lot of chocolate!
Ms. Linamen also gives us, at the end of each chapter, some really
 great questions in her "Food For Thought" section that help you
to dive into a deeper understanding if this is an issue that you
may be struggling with. There are also tips given by others who
have travelled through rocky roads included throughout the book.
 In all, this is a really funny, inspirational, and delicious book
A Christian book, each chapter applies scriptural takeaways to
 real-life situations and experiences that the author has had.
