A Conversation with God for Women

Hello again! I got another new book from booksneeze today- “A Conversation with God for Women” by Marcia Ford. Due to some long legal thing, I’m under no obligation to give this book a good review, so whatever I’m about to say is how I genuinely feel about it. Okay, now, this was a really really good book- it was very thoughtful and it was very personal. I honestly enjoyed it. This book tries to answer some of Christianity’s hardest questions, such as “Good and evil, how can they coexist?”, “Why was a virgin birth necessary?”, so on and so forth. This was a good book, but there were points where it seemed very charismatic to me. But that might just be me. This was a good little book that was very simple and that was easy to understand. I enjoyed it, and I think that I’m going to pass it on to someone I know will enjoy it. “A Conversation with God for Women” is a very nice read, and for someone who is really struggling with some big questions, this would definitely be a good read. I would recommend it to anyone in a heart beat. Hope that you enjoy it as much as I did!J

Fasting by Scot McKnight

Hello there! I just got another new book from booksneeze- “Fasting” by Scot McKnight. Before we get started, I’m going to tell you that, due to some long law thing, I’m under no legal obligation to give this a positive review, so whatever I say is my true, unbiased opinion. Okay, now that that’s settled, let get on with this. This new book, “Fasting” is quite obviously on fasting. Fasting nowadays is a rather obscure, vague thing that only really really super spiritual people do, if anyone does that at all. This book explains exactly what fasting is, why it is important in a Christian’s walk with Jesus, and gives some history on fasting- when it was most common, who did it, that sort of thing. Now, just to be clear, usually I order fiction books from Booksneeze, but this one caught my attention because some people in my family have fasted before, and they have said it was a wonderful experience. So I ordered this, thinking to learn more about it. Fasting is something that you don’t decide to do, you have to be called by God to do it- otherwise you won’t be very successfulJ This book can be a bit dry at times, but it is a very educational read, and I liked it because it shared some good history along with ways to apply the rules of fasting to today’s life style. I enjoyed itJ

Seek Me with All Your Heart

Hello there, again! I’ve just gotten another book booksneeze- “Seek Me with All Your Heart” by Beth Wiseman. But before I get started, let me let you know that, once again, due to some long law thing, I’m under no legal obligation to say this is a good book, so whatever I say really is how I feel about it. Okay? Okay, good. Now, “Seek Me with All Your Heart” is a book about a small group of Amish families that move to Colorado for different reasons- some for the cheap land, others to rid themselves of unkind church leaders. This story focuses on a young Emily Detweiler, whose family moved due to an unsettling tragedy, and a Mr. David Stoltzfus, whose family came… well, he doesn’t quite know why they came to Colorado. These two people meet and neither one understands the feelings that arise out of this. This really is quite a normal Amish novel, following in the ways of Wanda Brunstetter and the like. Usually I find Amish novels almost syrupy sweet, but this was a very good read. I honestly quite enjoyed it- it was a very “honest” novel- it didn’t string me along with endless twists and turns. It was a nice read and I quite enjoyed it- despite the rather predictable endingJ This is a good read for the romantic at heart. Plus it has a rather delicious chocolate pie recipe included! That makes this whole deal a win-win situation!

Curiosities of the Civil War by Webb Garrison

Hey, guys! Got another new book from Book Sneeze, and I tell you what, I’m really excited about this one! Before we get started, though, let me just tell you guys that, due to some long, legal law thing, I don’t have to give the books that I receive a positive review. So, anyway, let me tell you about this book. It’s called “Curiosities of the Civil War” by Webb Garrison. Both my dad and I are big history buffs. I enjoy the more cultural side of things, while he enjoys the battles and generals and all the “manly” stuffJ. When I saw this book, I admit that I got it more for my dad than anyone else. I’m glad that I got it, though- I learned a few things about the Civil War that I didn’t know, which is always a fun thing for me. I was honestly kind of worried that it would be one of those “conspiracy theory” books, and a few parts were kinda sketchy, but it was a really cool book all together. Besides, now that I have this book, I won’t have to worry about my dad’s birthday presentJ! Anyway, I hope that you all have a good week! Bye!:)

The Inheritance of Beauty by Nicole Seitz

Hey guys, another new book from Book Sneeze! I know that book reviews have been the only thing I’ve been putting up for a few months, but it’s because I’ve just been SUPER DUPER busy with stuff. I’m sorry,  but everything should cool down in a few months, so it’s all okay J Anywho, before we get started, just a reminder that due to some law thingy, I don’t have to give this book a positive review, so whatever I say is how I really and truly feel, okay? Okay, now, down to business. I got the book, “The Inheritance of Beauty” and quickly devoured it. I LOVE history, the individual side of history, so this story won me over in a heartbeat. The book starts out almost immediately with a bit of a mysterious edge, with danger and intrigue that continues to escalate throughout the book. I loved the ending (which I shall not give away. I’m not going to ruin it for you! J) As a little side note, the book goes briefly into the author’s family history as well, which was pretty interesting for me. This book was absolutely fantastic and would recommend “The Inheritance of Beauty” by Nicole Seitz to any history loving reader out thereJ. Have a good rest of the week!
