Heaven is for Real for Kids tells the story of a little boy, who at 4 years old went to Heaven during a surgery. Colton miraculously recovered, and when he talked to his family after the surgery he told them of the things he saw in Heaven, which would have been impossible for him to know unless he did, in fact, go to Heaven.

Review: Waking Hours By Lis Wiehl with Pete Nelson

Wow, I just finished reading Waking hours and wanted to immediatly write the review on it.  First of all Thank you Booksneeze for the chance to review this book.
When I first read the summary:

Welcome to East Salem. A deceptively sleepy town where ancient supernatural forces are being awakened.
A local high-school girl is found murdered in a park.  It portaits 2 main characters who are so detailed and well explained.

This book kept me on the seat of my pants litterally.  I normally don't read suspense or crime novels but I am glad I did.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants an exciting intense story to read.  I will be passing this on to my friends and family for sure.

Thank You again Book Sneeze.

Where Has Oprah Taken Us? By Stephen Mansfield

Where Has Oprah Taken Us” by Stephen Mansfield has shown us a different look at Oprah Winfrey. I have always absolutley loved Oprah so when I seen a chance to review this book on Booksneeze I signed up write away.  It is a great hardcover book with a beautiful picture of Oprah on the cover.
Summary: 
Born into poverty in Mississippi in 1954 and rising through talent, hard work and despite tragedy-she was raped at the age of nine and lost an infant son at 14-Oprah Winfrey has become one of the wealthiest, most powerful, and most popular women of her age. These facts alone would make Winfrey worthy of study, yet what makes her of even more profound impact on American society is her decision to champion the cause of "New Age Christianity." She is, as Christianity Today has proclaimed, "a postmodern priestess-an icon of church-free spirituality." Rejecting her Baptist roots, Winfrey has become a champion of the Course in Miracles, a seminar in which Christianity is reinterpreted in terms of self-actualization, personal divinity, and self-empowerment. She has also become a disciple of Eckhart Tolle, the increasingly popular teacher of a form of spirituality that blends Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Christianity.

Review: Hermie, a Common Caterpillar By Max Lucado

Yet another another masterpiece from Max Lucado.  Such a cute book for childern.

But every time they pray, God tells them that He loves them all the time just as they are and that He isn''t finished with them yet. When Hermie becomes a beautiful butterfly, he realizes just how special God''s plan is for him!
This is such a sweet book and plan or passing it on.
Thank You booksneeze

One Call Away: Answering Life's Challenges with Unshakable Faith

I really enjoyed readying this book, I was unsure at first as I am not really interested in sports however, it was very insprational.  I will for sure be passing this book on to my friends and family to read

Summary:
The remarkable story of Brenda Warner''s resilient faith in the face of the unpredictable, both before and during her marriage to NFL quarterback Kurt Warner.
Brenda''s life has taken twists and turns that are stranger than fiction. It always seemed as if she was just one phone call away from the next explosive change. Each time her plans fell apart, she had a choice: would she give up, or would she press forward and learn from the unexpected? One Call Away is the inspiring story of a woman who has prevailed through many of the circumstances that discourage women: tragedy, poverty, betrayal, and humiliation. But unlike most women, her life has been on display in the media.
 Brenda''s faith and God''s strength enable her to face challenge after challenge: an accident that leaves her son blind and brain damaged, a crumbling marriage, a tornado that kills her parents, a new relationship with promising football player Kurt Warner, and the pressures his sudden success brings to their growing family.
 Through food stamps and funerals, Super Bowls and serving others, Brenda''s strength is unwavering. Her determination to dream new dreams, willingness to learn from her mistakes, and commitment to giving back to her community make her a role model for women of all backgrounds.
 Her dreams haven''t materialized as she had imagined, but Brenda has found that God has a much bigger plan for her. Conversational and candid, One Call Away invites readers facing their own difficulties to trust God and discover hope in the future.

Review: Stumbling Into Grace By Lisa Harper

Summary:

Humorous yet poignant stories from Lisa''s life help readers relate to spiritual truths found in the life and ministry of Christ.

Stumbling Into Grace is the diary-devotional of one woman''s honest, ongoing, bumbling journey of faith and how she finds encouragement through a deeper understanding of Christ''s time on earth. Within each chapter she alternates her often humorous memoir with stirring portraits of Jesus and his own encounters as recorded in the New Testament.

Both intimately relevant and refreshingly inspirational, this book will help readers to jettison the theological misconceptions, guilt, shame, and hypocrisy they struggle with, exchanging them for a vibrant, passionate relationship with Christ that results in a more abundant, joyful life.

It was a very fun read.  I would recommend it to anyone.

Thank You Booksneeze.

The Band that Played On: The Extraordinary Story of the 8 Musicians Who Went Down with the Titanic by Steve Turner

The Band that Played On: The Extraordinary Story of the 8 Musicians Who Went Down with the Titanic by Steve Turner

I have always loved learning about the Titanic and watching the movie. When I seen that this book was available for review on booksneeze I just had to have it.

The Band played on tells a totally different story and outlook on the Titanic.  IT tells the story of the 8 Musicians who went down with the ship.  These brave musicians continued playing thru all the chaos that was going on when it hit the Iceberg in hopes to help calm passengers.   Steve Turner does a great job of depicting the heroic acts of Wallace Hartley, John Wesley Woodward, John Fredrick Preston Clarke, Theodore Ronald Brailey, John Law Hume, Roger Marie Bricoux, Percy Cornelius Taylor and Georges Alexandre Krins.

This book is a real eye opener into the story.  These musician’s were the brave of the brave.  The ship was very lucky to of had them aboard.  If you have any interest at all about the Titanic I would highly recommend reading this book.

What the Heart Sees By Kathleen Fuller

This novel is a collection of three Amish short stories.  This is the first time for me reading an Amish novel and wasn't sure what to except.  After reading the short stories I have discovered that these stores told by Fuller are great inspiring reads.  The love between the Young Amish and God really come to life in these novel.
The titles include:
A Miracle for Miriam, A place of his own and What the Heart Sees.
 I would highly recommend these stories to anyone.  They were a quick read but a enjoyable one.
I will pass them on to my sister's so they can enjoy them as much as I did.
Thank You Booksneeze.

What's he Really Thinking?
How to Be a Relational Genius with the Man in Your Life
By Paula Rinehard

When I seen this book available on Booksneeze and all the wonderful reviews on it I knew it was a book I had to read.  I have no brothers, brother in law's however, I do have a husband, father and uncles and thought what a great way to learn how they think.
When I recieved this book in the mail it was appealing by the cover, I loved the pink color on the book.
I really enjoyed reading this book, I have learnt about understanding and paitence.  It explains his thought process and how I can relate to him.
The author makes it easy to understand the feelings that men have, how they express them or don't most times.  It explains how they cope with situations and also the romantic side and there thinking and thoughts.
I really enjoyed reading this book and have a new outlook on the men in my life and try to take more time and paitence with them.
Thank You Book Sneeze for the chance to review this book.

The Shelter of God’s Promises by Shelia Walsh

The Shelter of God’s Promises by Shelia Walsh

I was curious about this book when I seen it available on Booksneeze.  I have seen the author’s Video Sessions in the past and was excited to be able to have her stories in hardcopy.

In The Shelter of God's Promise, the author in whom is a gifted Bible teacher and inspiring speaker Sheila Walsh primes Scripture for what God has promised us, what God's promises mean, and how these promises provide the foundation for daily confidence, joy, and hope.
After reading this book I felt at ease and a better understanding of Christ.  I think this book would be good for religion classes or group prayer groups.
Thank You booksneeze for offering me to review this book.
