Review: Live Sent : You are a Letter - Jason C. Dukes - October 2009

Who loves recieving a letter , now I know we don't like recieving bills in the mail but I'm talking about the good kind of letters, the ones from old friends, the christmas card letters, ones filled with amazing and happy joyful news. Live Sent : You are a letter talks about God as the sender of the message and we his followers are the message - he has entrusted in us his word - the bible to go out and share it with the world , the nation. Live Sent is broken into different categories and tells us how as God's letters how we can share his message with others , it reminds me of the programme we are studying in church called "The Next Step" - what is your next step going to be now that you have recieved God's letter , are you going to just stand there and disregard it or will you open it, read it with such joy and go "wowza , I want to share this anazing letter with somebody else".
Each chapter contains as we all love hearing other's amazing and extraordinary stories , the second part is titled "I challenge you" which is a biblical everyday challenge for readers to go out and put yourself out of your comfort zone , the third part is called "consider and converse" - this section is a time for reflection and then it allows readers' questions to help you out with others to share what you have just learnt and also it teaches you how to converse with God as with doing any kind of biblical study , it is forever increasing the closeness of the relationship that you and I have with God.
God created each one of us to receive and send a message-intentionally - into the lives of the people we do life with daily. That's how love is dem­onstrated, how relationships happen, and how people find the abundant life as they are intended to find it. Pastor and speaker Jason C. Dukes helps readers see how giving yourself away in the daily means being to other people the letter of God's love that has been written on our hearts. Our community needs us, and our world needs us . . . to live sent.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
