The Promises She Keeps- Erin Healy

I absolutely loved reading this book. From page one I was drawn into the story of these two women who couldn't be more different. Promise just wants to be remembered once she dies from cystic fibrosis. Porta wants a life of beauty and immortality. Promise knows her time is limited because of multiple people she knew died from it.

Promise is a college student and has dreams of singing. She wants people to remember her from her voice.

Chase is an autistic artist who becomes attracted to Promise. His art fascinates Promise.

Invasion is about a boy Colt McAlister. Colt's parents died in a freak car accident which forces him to move to Arizona to be taken care of by his grandfather. At his new school he only knows one person which is Dani. Colt believes his parents accident wasn't really an accident.

Dani, Oz, and Colt begin trying to find out the truth of his parents death. Colt and his friends encounter aliens in the novel. I didn't really like this book. It was hard to stay on task reading it. But it is very interesting.

Heaven is for real by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent

Heaven is for real was an interesting book. It was very touching to hear of Colton's trip to heaven and back. Colton needed emergency surgery and almost died in the process. Colton's mother Sonja asked him if he remembered the hospital. He replied with "Yes, Mommy, I remember, that's where the angels sang to me." Whenever I read this sentence it gives me goosebumps. Colton then began explaining how the angels sang to him because Jesus saw that he was scared. He proceeded to say they made him feel better. Sonja and Todd were extremely shocked about this. They had no idea what to say. I felt the same way I did not expect him to come out with this.

Todd had some problems too. He had broken his leg into four pieces, cut the tip of his finger off, got kidney stones, and now finds out he has breast cancer. I really feel bad for this family. Too many bad things happening to one family. This book is an incredible way of telling a true experience of meeting God. It can also make people have hope and not be scared. Maybe the next time your in a scary situation God will send the angels to sing to you.

A Christmas Prayer by Amy Parker

A Christmas Prayer is a great book to read to your child with Christmas creeping up. It shows us that Christmas isn't just about gifts like dolls, books, games, etc but thanking God for the gifts He has given us. The book thanks Gabriel, Mary, Joseph, the donkey, the manger, the shepherds, the bright star, and thanks God, for Jesus. The gifts they gave weren't gifts you could play with or see but they were gifts from the heart. Gabriel brought news of great joy, Mary for letting faith lead the way, Joseph for trusting His good plan, the donkey helped them all leave and brought Mary to Bethlehem, the manger a bed made out of hay, the shepherds announcing peace on earth. the bright star that shined and led the way and God for the birth of Jesus. These gifts weren't toys or things that were fun to play with but things that helped other people.

Out Live Your Life by Max Lucado

This is the third book I have read by Max Lucado. I enjoyed reading Out Live Your Life just as I did the other two books. Throughout the whole book he keeps reminding us we were put on earth to do something... To make a difference. God uses regular people like you and me to make big changes in the world. Each chapter began and ended with a prayer. At the end of the book there is a Discussion and Action Guide prepared by David Drury. Max didn't only want us to read the book but discuss it with either yourself or others. This book wants us to recognize our role in the world and how important it is that we make a difference. Every chapter in the book includes questions for discussions. You can go over them yourself or in a group. God loves us and HE wants us to love others. He wants us to all get along and help each other out in times of need. This book encourages us to reach out to others when they need it most.

One Hand, Two Hands by Max Lucado

This book is intended for young children. It explains many ways how are hands can be used. It goes from petting a puppy to washing dishes with mommy to holding a cup, and then to praying. This book is appropriate for children up to 5 or 6. It is a good book to read to your child, nieces/nephews, grandchildren, brothers/sisters, etc.

The message of the book is presented clearly. You can do a whole lot with your hands but most people don't realize it. At the end of this book the last thing the little girl does is fold her hands and pray! The illustrator Gaby Hansen did an outstanding job. The pictures are very detailed and cute! She uses bright colors that would attract children to be interested in sitting down and listening to someone read the book to them. I would definitely recommend this book to others. I cant wait for my niece to get home to read it to her!

A Guy's Guide To Life- How to become a man in 224 pages or less

A Guy's Guide To Life- How to become a man in 224 pages or less by Jason Boyett

This book was interesting to me especially because I am a girl. My boyfriend told me I was stupid for reading it but hey I wanted to learn something new. This book teaches boys to become men by teaching you about Mind, Body, and Soul. They break it down into simple parts for the boys that have trouble understanding how they should act in front of girls and about their hygiene. This book was interesting to read because it actually showed me how much of a boy my boyfriend actually is. I am definitely going to let him read it!
