Lone Witness

I received a complimentary copy. So this is a book 2 and I did not realize it until after I got into reading it. I point this out because I feel like I missed out somehow. However you are getting a story that packs a punch of suspense and laces in drama in enough of a manner that you will not want to put the book down while adding in all the bells and whistles of courtroom styled justice.

Complete Guide to Dream Interpretation
by
Marsha Trimble Dunstan, Mike Bickle
cassandra95011
, May 13, 2018
I received a complimentary copy. A tiny bit of a let down because I wanted really good meanings and helpful interpretations or like a dream dictionary. The book has a straight biblical feel to it and is only basing dreams how the scriptures would interpret them. I guess although I do have faith, I just wanted something more from this and it just did not hit the mark of other books on dreams that I have read. I would recommend this to a Christian person of any age that will abide by and not feel crucified for dreaming about certain things.

Generous Love

, May 10, 2018
I received a complimentary copy. I love the saying that is cost nothing to be kind, and I also love the debate of that saying. The book kicks you in the pants and gets the reader to open their eyes to the world that is currently being torn. If you believe in what the author is saying and take her wisdom as your guide, this book will help and possibly change your outlook on giving even when it seems hard or not worth it.

Blind Betrayal
by
Nancy Mehl

, May 10, 2018
I received a complimentary copy. A fun read that takes you out of the world for a few hours or so. While it should have been read in order from book one, it does provide a great bit of romantic suspense. I can see the build up and while the ending was not a major amazing moment, this still provded me with enough of a story to make it worth reading.

I received a complimentary copy. The author gives you the tools needed to pray and explains everything to get the reader closer to the right track. The outcome of rating this book will be based on the readers faith and feelings about the topic. For some people this may seem out of place or unneeded, while for others this can be life changing.

Bountiful Blessings: A Creative Devotional Experience
by
Susie Larson

, March 22, 2018
A shorter book with excellent coloring pages that you can either share with your kids while you read or take time to color yourself as you immerse thoughts, prayers and solid moments with God. The outcome will depend on your faith and coloring skills, but overall this is a great gift for anyone who likes to create and take time to inspire themselves. I received a complimentary copy.

A Light on the Hill
by
Connilyn Cossette
cassandra95011
, February 21, 2018
I received a complimentary copy. I story that could be real in a time that was so terrible for many women. The author clearly has knowledge of the real story but blended it so seamlessly that it is like reading a new one. Adding characters that could easily be felt when reading about them made this a more intense read that seem to pass the time a little too quickly.

Experiencing the Supernatural: How to Saturate Your Life with the Power and Presence of God
by
Messianic Rabbi K. a. Schneider
cassandra95011
, October 22, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. The author gives a true and fulfilling presence of the supernatural in this book as only he can. There are ways as well as knowledge that is interlaced in so that the reader can pick or choose what to take away from it. As a whole the writing style is unique and the messages come clearly. I would recommend this book to middle aged adults or people who are more into faith and might need a spiritual wake up. It is a faith based book.

True Identity: Finding Significance and Freedom Through Who You Are in Christ
by
John C. Majors
cassandra95011
, October 18, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. Review- As a mom, I want to give my kids all the options they could want or need in life, and this book helps in a more faith based way to keep them thinking and discussing the topic of finding themselves. While some parents might view this as a path through God, because it is, others might not approve. It really depends on what you want to bring to your teens.

Too Far Down

, October 14, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. I do not like reading a book 3 first, but sometimes it happens. This is not only the last book but it actually sums up the other two books from what I understand so it was like better then reading all three I guess. As for me the western aspect was ok, and the characters are written well.

by
Bell, James Stuart

, October 01, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. If you like books about God and how he changes the world for the better, then this book will be a great read. It is all faith based and connects a reader on a spiritual level. You get a burst of feelings while reading the different stories, but in the end it is powerful and uplifting. Perfect for believers in God.

The Proving
by
Beverly Lewis

, September 15, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. I like this author a lot. While the story is not really new and is very predictable, and the characters seem to be the same and not really original, the story still hands on itself enough to have kept me interested. I think that if this is the first time reading one of the book like this written by the author then you might have a little different feeling, but I feel this one is a bit more of a drag on, then a new setting.

by
Heidi St John
cassandra95011
, September 15, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. - What did you like about the book and why? I like that the author represents her beliefs so strongly and chose to bring her message through this book. - What did you not like about the book and why? I feel that it may be a bit to pushy and have more do moments then teach moments. It is all faith based and gives no other points. - What did you learn? I think that the author is strong in her beliefs and pushes them through the book. - To whom would you recommend this book and why? A Mom that is strong in their faith and demands their children to learn in a mighty way.

Living the Spirit-Formed Life: Growing in the 10 Principles of Spirit-Filled Discipleship
by
Jack Hayford
cassandra95011
, August 30, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. Depending on your outlook on religion and if you are a believer of the words presented in this book, the outcome of your own personal review will be different and I am sure this book will spark a few discussions, but as a reader I felt that even though I might not agree with certain topics included, I was able to view the author's points and take them into consideration. If you enjoy faith based reading, this is going to be a good, but if you feel like communion ets are not your thing, this may be a book to pass on.

All Saints The Surprising True Story of How Refugees from Burma Brought Life to a Dying Church
by
Michael Spurlock
cassandra95011
, August 30, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. Would you help a refugee? Would you change your whole community by taking in a new community? Knowing the facts and doing them are two different things, but this pastor lived them and is recounting it all for the reader. The book takes you on a deeper meaning trip into the mind of someone who loves and wanted to be full in the presence of his God. It is faith based.

As a reader, I thought this book was first very interesting, but then as I went into the folds of the chapters it became this great story. It covers everything that a reader who is into the genre, would expect and crave. The author certainly created this for more advanced readers and ages. I recevied a complimentary copy.

Winning the Battle for the Night Gods Plan for Sleep Dreams & Revelation
by
Faith Blatchford
cassandra95011
, July 07, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. The author clearly sees sleep in a way that most people are not sure of, but while reading this book I felt that if you open your mind, anything can be possible. The whole outcome of personal ranking for this book will depend on you as a reader and if you believe in topics of the faith based material, or if you choose to pass over it. I think that for me, I was interested and so I was able to read this book at a face pace and recommend it to older ages.

Dark Deception
by
Nancy Mehl
cassandra95011
, June 20, 2017
I received a complimentary copy. I wished to have read book one first as I feel this book required more. It did not make a good standalone read for me. The author is great with her details and storytelling. I think that I would have been able to be more grabbed in had I read the first book because I seem to have lost a lot of the characters and story bonding. If you are looking for a more drawn out thriller, this is going to be great. I am not sure about a book three, but I would say that you should start from book one as to not ruin the experience.

I received a complimentary copy. Review- Praying is so different for everyone and that is a wonderful thing. No more do we follow a suit of premade requests but gin the knowledge to verse our own words. To be able to pray from the heart to God and believe in your faith is a wonderful thing.

The Most Misused Stories in the Bible: Surprising Ways Popular Bible Stories Are Misunderstood
by
Eric J. Bargerhuff
cassandra95011
, May 13, 2017
recevied a complimentary copy. If you count the way the author choose to tell his version of they are used, you can see this book is just another long winded way for someone to find another meaning in stories that any will interpret as they see fit. Sadly people use the Bible as a way to either teach or torment and it is up to the reader as well as the listener to take what they believe and how the perceive to heart, not what others portray as right or wrong.

A wonderful mystery. It takes place in such a way that you will guess and still be wrong in the end, or maybe not? I really enjoyed spending time with it and would read other books by this author in the future.
