Since this book was originally published in 1831, the style of writing took a little getting used to. It was helpful to me, that I had already read a different book in this series previously. It wasn’t so much that the vocabulary was large or even antiquated (although some people might think that was true), it was more that the authors very frequently wrote extremely long sentences using only a semicolon to break it up. That was the hardest thing about the style of writing that I…

How do we Know the Bible is True? by Ken Ham and Bodie Hodge

It must be emphasized that this book is in the field of apologetics. Merely because of that fact alone I must say that it was not “entertaining” or “light”. I don’t have a lot of other books in that particular narrow field so I can’t compare it to other apologetic works so keep that in mind as you read my review.

First, what I liked about it. I liked the fact that there were many different…

The Family Illustrated Bible

I love the look and feel of this hefty hardbound book. It’s solid, over 300 pages, and it is very beautifully illustrated. I couldn’t find a two-page spread that did not have a picture on it and the illustrations seem to go perfectly with the story on that page.

This would make an excellent read-aloud story book for your young children or grandchildren. It says it’s for the “whole family” but if you have readers, don’t you want them to get into…

Spiritual Warfare for Women by Leighann McCoy (Bethany House Publishers)

Being somewhat familiar with the author because I have attended her and her husband’s church in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by what I found inside this book. Not that I was expecting anything bad, but I was surprised to see things I had to leave the Baptist denomination in order to learn. Apparently, this author has a vibrant relationship with the living God because quite a lot of what she writes about…

Pieces of Light by Julie Cave

This is the third and final book in the Dinah Harris mystery series.The author develops the character and story lines enough to make this a stand-alone book, but it would be helpful to read the other two (Deadly Disclosures and The Shadowed Mind) beforehand in order to better understand the characters.

As with the other books in the series, Julie Cave has several subplots going on as well as the main plot. The main plot is about Dinah Harris,…

I had a little difficulty finishing this book. I was unaccustomed to the style of writing. It was originally written in 1833, so the language used required a deeper level of concentration than what I am used to needing in reading. I liken it to being made to lift heavy weights, of which you haven’t lifted in many years. In the end, I thought that was actually a positive thing— I needed my reading level challenged!

Another attribute about the actual writing style was that it was “dry”.…

Bankruptcy of Our Nation by Jerry Robinson



Even though this book was published in 2009, I believe it is still very “timely”. I found most of it to be very enlightening. Quite a bit of the information this book contained was new to me, but there was enough in it that I knew to be true beforehand, that made me believe it (as well as the well-documented footnotes).



If you are interested in learning the true financial state of the United States then this book is for you. Find… Continue

The Shadowed Mind by Julie Cave

Although, The Shadowed Mind is the second in The Dinah Harris Mystery triology series, it was more than adequate as a stand-alone story by itself. If I was missing anything important by not reading the

first in the series before reading this one, I couldn't tell.

All of the plots and subplots revolved around the topics of eugenics, euthanasia, evolution vs. creation and ultimately the value of human life. What could have been a…
