Review:

This tale is of a little girl with all sorts of anxieties. It is a very entertaining, cute story. I highly recommend this book to teachers, parents and reading groups for children. It is an excellent book to help with parenting skills and in assisting children who need to cope with anxiety and anger issues. Children will become more aware of their own challenges with ideas on how to manage them.

This is very well-written. The e-book has very small print which can be difficult to read. The paperback book is a far better choice. A review of this book gives it a Five Star rating, despite the tiny print of the e-book.

Book Description from Amazon:

For ages 3-9… Do you find yourself worrying about almost everything? Do your worries seem extra large? MJ knows the feeling. She’s a big worry wart. Visit with MJ as she learns how to take off her “Worry Glasses” and take control of her anxiety.

{Book Review} Finding Her Way

December 29, 2013 By bodyandsoul Leave a Comment

Love to read but not sure which book to read next? Read this 5-stars book review of, Finding Her Way below.

Book Title and Author: Finding Her Way

Genre: Inspirational Historical/Romance Fiction

Reviewed By: LAWonder10

Star Rating Given: 5-stars

Review:

For all Historical Fiction fans, this is the first in a series of this highly recommended series.
This s an adventure of a young woman’s difficult journey from Boston to Oregon to join her father. Three years previously, she was a spoiled Kentucky girl who, after her mother’s sudden death, refused to go West with him. At that time, she was Fourteen and mad at her father for selling their beloved home. It was a home full of both wonderful and painful memories….memories too painful for her father. She chose, instead, to live with her aunt in Boston and suffered miserably for three years because of that choice. Her Aunt was stern and Corinne could never seem to please her.

Now, the only presentable way to travel that far is, through an arranged marriage with a young man graduating from Harvard Veterinary University. He was a good friend of her fathers. Her father had paid for his education. Now he was marrying Corinne as partial repayment, but he was rude and unkind to her from before the marriage and all through the journey to the West. Still, Corinne was determined to make the best of it until, shortly after their journey began, he made it clear he did not want her for a wife. She would just need to endure the journey until she could be with her father again.
It was a long, grueling trip filled with hardships an embarrassments. It took several months to get to their destination. Some never arrived at all.
There were not many types of situations which occurred that one hasn’t previously read during other’s pioneer travel, yet, it was still very interesting.
Once again, we are reminded of the many sacrifices that have been made in order for future generations to enjoy life more fully…a life most selfishly enjoy at present. The story does continue on for a brief period of time after they arrive in Oregon. (I am anxious to read the continuing series.)
If you are searching for an action-packed adventure, this isn’t for you. It is very well-written and has “its moments” of adventure. It is a very interesting story.
This book is of arranged marriage, differences in the eastern and western cultures of the 1800s. It is of the pilgrimage, hardships, friendships, natural healing remedies used, relationships with the American Indians, with some romance.
This was very well-written and a delightfully clean read.
With this Review I give this book a Five Stars rating.

Book Description from Amazon:

In 1848, women can expect a few bumps along the Oregon Trail. Corinne Temple, age seventeen, has a few ridiculous challenges to face outside the river crossings, snakes, Indians, accidental gunshots and finding enough privacy to be clean along the grimy trail. When Corinne’s marriage of convenience gets less convenient she turns to some new friends in the wagon train who help her see the hope for the future. They teach her to take the time to dance and celebrate the small victories, to have faith and determination through the hardest things a person can face. Corinne’s journey takes her from the cobblestone streets of fashionable Boston to the rugged mountains of the west, across rivers and deserts, from sea to shining sea. A faithful heart gets this young woman through the hardest days on the trail, her skills and resolve show her and others how a woman can rise from circumstances and survive. Join her as she discovers her own strength and resilience in…Finding Her Way * * Previously released as Seeing The Elephant, revised, rewritten and edited. **Appropriate for ages 12 and above** -Inspirational Historical Romance-

{Book Review} On a Quest for Christ

Love to read but not sure which book to read next? Read this 5-stars book review of, On a Quest for Christ by Lisa Are’ Wulf below.

On Sundays, we post a review instead of our regular free books post because we give our blog manager the day off to enjoy the Sabbath. But, you can check out the links to a list of free Kindle Christian books here.

Book Title and Author: On a Quest for Christ by Lisa Are’ Wulf

Genre: Christian Living

[easyazon-image align=”none” asin=”B008L40Z6Q” locale=”us” height=”160″ src=”http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/411p-9VNlFL._SL160_.jpg” width=”102″]

Star Rating Given: 5-stars

Review:

On a Quest for Christ: tracing the footsteps of your spiritual journey, is a works which does just as it states – traces footsteps of one’s personal journey. This is more than simply a book. The author has presented this self-help book in story form then developed it into a personal history and self evaluation documentation. The author gives examples and thoughts, then makes it very easy for the reader to develop his/her own story and experiences. At the end of each chapter, there are specific thought questions with a space to write in one’s own answers. The author then assists the reader in discovering if these answers has helped bring him/her closer to God or perhaps created a greater distance from Him.

The Story begins at birth, suggesting what possibilities can occur simply through the birth process then allows the reader to ponder this and draw his/her own conclusions. The author continues on the “path of life”, pinpointing steps of experiences, emotions, and actions which can affect us in various ways enhancing or impeding development and progress.

This book can be used as a guide but I strongly recommend it to be used individually as a personal workbook/journal. The questions are simple and to the point. There are many questions which totally stimulates the cognitive recollections and possibly increase memory capacity. The book ends, leaving one with a profound feeling of accomplishment, plus, a realization of the ongoing hills and valleys that are just LIFE.

Whether or not the reader uses this as a measurement as to his/her relationship with God, is immaterial. It is an ideal means of journal keeping and self-evaluation. A book that posterity would cherish if the blanks were filled in.

I was so impressed with the format and content and uniqueness of this book, I simply had to review it giving a Five Stars rating for this book.

Book Description from Amazon:

Understanding your personal journey opens a door to new spiritual growth. “On a Quest for Christ,” a 30-day devotional, will help you trace your steps from the first whispers of faith to resting in God’s arms. Gentle questions guide the telling of your story while prayers and comforting scripture enrich your reflections. The “Christ Quest Time Map” helps you see the path ahead as you look back on your journey.

* Find Christ at critical points in your life
* Increase your own spiritual self-awareness
* Experience healing and hope

Lisa Are Wulf is a fresh voice with a pure and transparent heart. “On a Quest for Christ” invites you into her own journey with personal vignettes to guide you in tracing your spiritual path. Let her lead you to places along the way where Christ was at work in your life. As she says, “Your spiritual story is significant. Who you are makes a difference. The impact of your life is incalculable.”
