There You'll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones

I received this book for free from the booksneeze program through the Thomas Nelson publishing company. I am under no legal obligation to give this book a good review. It’s not very often booksneeze comes out with a young adult book. But that’s exactly what “There You’ll Find Me” by Jenny B. Jones is. However, that being said, it is utterly unlike most teen novels that are out today. Despite the fact that it has a ringer for Robert Pattinson as a main character, this book is anything but Twilight. “There You’ll Find Me” is set in Ireland, one of my favorite countries because of the amazing history that is encompassed in that proud land. When Finley flies out there, however, it is not to gain history, but perhaps some closure. After her brother was killed in a terrorist attack, Finley has had struggle after struggle, so she decides to travel to where her brother was most comfortable. When she gets there, though, she comes up against more than she can handle. As she slips into an eating disorder, she begins seeking God. Funny, huh? It seems that when we are at our lowest, God still reaches down and picks us right back up to Him. This book deals with heavier issues such as grief, depression, and eating disorders, but I’d definitely give this book a five out of five.

Indelible by Kristen Heitzmann

Hello, there! I've recently gotten a book from the wonderful people at Waterbrook Publishing (note: I recieved this book for free and I am under no legal obligation to give this book a good review) The book, "Indelible" by Kristen Heitzmann was a riveting book. The book begins with a dangerous mission of a park ranger out to rescue a toddler from a mountain lion. When he succeeds, it begins a long chain of events that include the meeting of a Natalie Reeve. They work together throughout the novel. This book was quite entertaining and I'd give it a good four out of five stars.

"Ascent from Darkness" by Michael Leehan

Hi! I got the book “Ascent from Darkness” by Michael Leehan today from booksneeze, and I literally have not put it down since I began reading the book. Before I get started, though, I need to let you all know that I received this book for free from booksneeze and I am under no obligation to give the book a good review. Everything I say is my own opinion and how I truly feel about said book. Now, on with the show! Anyway, “Ascent from Darkness” by Michael Leehan is a truly phenomenal book about a man’s descent into satanism and how Jesus Christ saved him from that destructive lifestyle. Living in a fairly rural part of central Illinois, where everyone is Baptist, Catholic, Mormon, or a Jehovah’s Witness, I’ve never fully faced one-on-one with a person thoroughly involved in the occult. I’ve had friends who’ve dabbled, but I’ve never met the stereotypical big, scary-looking, meaty guy with pentagrams etched into his arms. Reading this first-hand account was entirely eye-opening, and I think anyone who doesn’t quite understand what a satanist believes should read this book. This book was very good and I would definitely give it a solid four out of five stars.

Hey there:)

Goodness... it's been a very long time since I've been here. I was on a month-long mission trip to Bulgaria during July, and ever since then, my life has been in near complete chaos- both good and bad (mostly good:) ) It's so strange being back (even though I've been back for a month and a half!)- but in a good way. Because I know what it's like to be with God full on, one on one, 24/7. It's an amazing experience. I've learned, though, that to be with God, full on, one on one, 24/7, you don't need to be in another country, halfway across the world. You can be full on, one on one with God right where you are physically if you are where you need to be spiritually. I've learned that. Since I've been home, it's been so amazing the opportunities that God's given me to keep me as close now as I was in Bulgaria. And I've since learned that mission fields are all over- across the world, across the nation, across my community, even across my backyard. God isn't some foreign deity that you must travel all over to access. He's right there, waiting for you, within arms' reach. He loves you. Don't refuse to reach out to Him. He want to love you, and if you take one step, He'll take care of the rest.
