I read the Common English Bible. I did not particularly like it as I guess I am just old-fashioned and like the King James Bible. But, as I look at it through other people’s eyes, it would be a good bible for people who don’t understand the King James or the New International Version bible. If a person is a new Christian, it would be very helpful for that person. But, for me, it just didn’t do anything for me. I’m sorry, I just didn’t like it.

A Summer Secret

Sharing a house with six high-spirited brothers isn't easy for soon-to-be eighth-grader Mary Beth Mullet. Looking for some much-needed peace and quiet, she escapes to a neighbor's abandoned barn---but finds more than she bargained for. Someone is living there---somebody who needs help. What should Mary Beth do?

I have read a lot of Amish books for Adults. This one is the first one I have read that is for teens. It was a GREAT book by Kathleen Fuller. She is one of the best Amish writers around. Mary Beth is so frustrated having all brothers around her, that she finds a secret hiding place which she thought was only hers, until she notices things go missing. Then, she discovers that she is not alone. When she discovers who is invading her space, she becomes a very caring person. I believe anyone from age 10 and up would enjoy it. I loved it.

A Tailor-Made Bride

Jericho "J.T." Tucker wants nothing to do with Coventry, Txas's new dressmaker. He's all too familiar with her kind-shallow women more devoted to fashion than true beauty. Yet, except for her well-tailored clothing, this seamstress is not at all what he expected. Hannah Richards is confounded by the man who runs the livery. The unsmilling fellow riles here with his arrogant assumptions and gruff manner while at the same time stirring her heart with unexpected acts of kindness. Which side of Jericho Tucker relects the real man?

This book was a GREAT book. This book is written by Karen Witemeyer who captivates her audience from the first page. I believe this is her first book she has ever written and there will be more coming from her. In my opinion, she is the best. This book is funny in a lot of places and sometimes you just want to kick J.T. But then, don't we all want to kick the guys. Hehe. But, as the story goes along, you learn to understand about him. I loved Hannah, she is strong and doesn't put up with anything from him. It's a GREAT book.

Read and Share Bible DVD Review

Read and Share Bible-The Jesus Series of Life and Miracles. The author of this DVD is by Gwen Ellis and is illustrated by Steve Smallman.

This DVD is a Children's Book DVD. The story is about Jesus life from his birth to the Passover and the Last Supper. I thought it was a very good book for children from 3 years old and up. It was very well illustrated and I believe this DVD would keep the children's interest.

This story starts when Jesus was born on up to the end of the Last Supper. It showed Jesus getting baptized by John the Baptist, Jesus finding his disciples, feeding the multitudes and then to the Passover.

I thought Jesus ending words were very for children to understand which are: Love each other because God Loves You.

My 2 Cats

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have 2 ornery but loveable cats. Simon is 15 years old and he is the siamese looking one and Patches is 3 years old and all she wants to do is play, go figure. Hehe. They both love to eat and sleep.

No Distance Too Far by Lauraine Snelling

Astrid Bjorklund wants to use her medical training to serve God and she struggles with wondering if going to Africa to be a missionary is God's will in her life. Then, she is called home to Blessing for a medical emergency in her family. She stays in Blessing, N.D. and helps her family and friends. Then, she receives a letter about an indian reservation who needs help because the indians are starving and are very ill.

This book is Book Two in the Home to Blessing Series by Lauraine Snelling. This book is one of Lauraine Snellling's best books, in my opinion. I thoroughly loved it and I didn't want to put it down.
