The Promises She Keeps by Erin Healy

Hi there again! Just recently, I’ve received another new book from BookSneeze- “The Promises She Keeps”. (Just as a reminder- due to some long law thing, I’m under no obligation to give this a positive review, so whatever I saw is whatever I really feel about the book, okay? OkayJ Now let’s move on, shall we?) Now, I’m not going to spoil too much of the plot lines or anything, but I’m just going to tell you that it’s a really good book. From the first page, the wonderful imagery and mysterious prose draws you in. Precise discriptions give us a glimpse into the minds of the characters almost immediately, and this is extremely cool. A mystery is set up for us to figure out from the first page, and to draw spiritual parallels into this is truly amazing- at list in my own humble opinion. I’ve always loved Erin Healy’s works, and this is no exception. She truly has a way with words that just about blows my mind every time. In no uncertain terms, I give this a solid 5 out of 5 stars, and I would most definitely recommend this book to anyone who would ask me. I hope that you all have a great rest of the day! Good bye! J

Seeds of Turmoil by Bryant Wright

I recently read another book from BookSneeze (as a disclaimer, according to some law thing, I’m under no obligation to give a positive review. So when I’m talking about these books, I’m talking how I legitly feel about them, okay? Okay. J) It was called “Seeds of Turmoil”. Seeds of Turmoil is a book that, on paper, is a good idea. But in writing, it is very hard to get into. The feeling through the book is a very charismatic feeling, very showy and flashy. It’s a good book, however, in that it delves into history and gives good discriptions. It attempts to explain the conflict in the Middle East using a Biblical perspective, which is both admirable and interesting. I honestly did enjoy the book once I got into it. But that’s where the issues lie- it took me a long, long time to actually get into the book. Bryant Wright opens with, “As a pastor, I’m always asked, ‘Bryant, why can’t these people get along?’” I’m paraphrasing, but it was like that- and it felt kind of, I don’t know. I didn’t enjoy the opening and if based only on that one sentence, I wouldn’t recommend it. But if you add up all the parts of the whole, it is an intriguing book and if you are someone who enjoys history and stuff like that, you will enjoy this book. I think that I will give it 3 out of 5 stars. Anyway, I gotta go! Thanks! Bye! J
