Review of Childrens Book Ariel Bradley

Ariel Bradley, Spy for General Washington by Lynda Durrant
Ariel Bradley, Spy For General Washington is written by Lynda Durrant.

This is a well written and easy to understand book about a boy during the Revolutionary War.  The book tells the story of Ariel Bradley and how he went on a spy mission for General Washington.  His mission was to report back to General Washington what he saw at the British camp.  General Washington needed information about the number of troops and the condition of their horses.  This information would help him as he prepared for battle against them.

I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I liked the illustrations.  They were simple yet effective.  I also was thankful for the glossary at the end of the book that listed some of the words in the book that may not be familiar for the young reader.  There were words like icehouse, British redcoats and tri-corned hat.   The story itself has a bit of suspense which will make it enjoyable for all children to read.  I would recommend this book for any child who is interested in history, adventure or just looking for an easy to read chapter book.

I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading.  I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

Review of Skinnygirl Solutions

Skinnygirl Solutions
You may think after reading the title that this is just another boring book about how to live your life to the fullest.  Let me just tell you, you will so enjoy this book!  It is informative yet entertaining.  I enjoyed the book and learned from it too!    

The solutions given to everyday issues such as weight loss, relationships, and style (to name a few) are helpful and easy to implement.  I liked the openness of the author.  She is a television personality, which for some may be a turnoff.  If you have seen her on television and do not enjoy her personality I still think you can learn from something in this book.  I actually found her tips and hints to be honest and non-judgmental.  I have even implemented some of them into my daily routine already! 

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for some helpful advice but who doesn’t want to read a boring how to book.  You will be entertained all the while being educated on how to live a better life.  I gave this book 5/5 stars and will be keeping it and referring to for many years to come!

I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading.  I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

Review of When Wives Walk In Grace

When Wives Walk in Grace: Resting in Christ While God Works in Your Marriage  -     
        By: Steve McVey
When Wives Walk In Grace is published by Harvest House.

Feeling frustrated because your husband is not changing as fast as you want him to? Can’t figure out why no matter what you try your marriage isn’t doing where it needs to go.  If this happens then finally this will happen, is constantly in your thoughts?  If these describe your life at all this book will have some great answers that will help you get your focus on the Right person.  You will realize you cannot change your husband but the Lord can and the Lord’s timing is best.

I gave this book 4/5 stars.  I liked the honesty of the writer.  He just comes out and says what he needs to without tiptoeing around the subject.  I thought he had some great ideas of why husbands act the way they do and why wives respond the way they do.  I gave it a lower rating because I did not find a lot of practical ideas a wife could apply to her day to day life.  I still would recommend this book for all married women, as you will walk away with some insight on how to rely on the Lord for the Spiritual growth of your marriage.

I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading.  I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.
