Lifted, Experiencing the Resurrection Life is written by Sam Allberry and published by P&R Publishing.
There are not many books on the Resurrection so when I saw this book I was very interested in reading it. It did not disappoint! After reading this book you will never doubt the significance of the resurrection of Christ. Easter will not just be another holiday but a day to reflect on all Christ has given you by rising from the dead.
This book was laid out in a very easy to follow format. The language was very understandable and all the content was relevant. I liked the ample usage of Biblical references to help make his points. I especially enjoyed his writing style, as it was direct as well as instructional. I gave this book 5/5 stars because it was a well written and informative book about a subject not often written about.

We were all created for a purpose
Frequency, Discovering Your Unique Connection To God is written by Eric Parks and Casey Bankord. This book is published by Worthy Publishing.
Do you believe that you were created for a purpose? How do you stay on course once the Lord points you in a certain direction? This book is a great tool to use when answering these questions and many more. The concept of the book is that we have been given a frequency or a certain spot or area on this earth at this particular time to be a witness for Christ.
I liked that this book stresses how we each are here for a reason and do have a purpose. I liked how it offered ways to stay focused on your "God-given frequency." Although there was helpful information there were also parts that were redundant and I found my mind wondering. It has enough positive and useful information to help any Christian seeking his purpose on earth and that is why I gave this book 4/5 stars.

This book has some real funny parts in it!
Cowgirl Trail is written by Susan Page Davis and published by Moody Publishers.
This book is part of the Texas Trail Series and is set in the late 1800’s. The story is about Maggie Porter and her struggle to keep the family ranch. The story itself is interesting and will keep you turning the page to find out what happens next. The characters are unique and keep you guessing about how they will react to the next difficult situation they encounter.
I liked how the women of the town stepped in and helped Maggie. I especially enjoyed the journey to sell the cattle. I actually laughed out loud a few times. All the main characters are well written and develop over the course of the story. The relationships are believable and don’t slow the story down. Overall it was a good Christian western book and I gave it 5/5 stars.

Want some ideas on how to read the Bible with your children?
Together, Growing Appetites For God is written by Carrie Ward and published by Moody Publishers.
This book is a good book for any mother who is trying to decide how to implement Bible reading with her children. The author is funny and gives some great ideas on ways to make reading the Bible interesting for your children. Her personal examples are what make the book worth reading. I enjoyed her sense of humor and also liked her simple ideas. Seeing the effect of reading the Bible with your children is the goal the author asks you to set. Although that sounds easy, after reading this book you will understand that it will take some effort on your part. I especially enjoyed the discussion questions available for each chapter. I thought they were well thought out and really made you think about what you had just read. I only gave this book 4/5 stars because although I liked all the personal stories, I think there was just too many of them. Sometimes less is better!

A great book on understanding your husband
Why Can't He Be More Like Me, is written by Poppy Smith and published by Harvest House.
The subtitle to this book, 9 Secrets to Understanding Your Husband, expresses just how simple and easy to understand this book is! It is a very organized and practical book with loads of helpful advice on ways to have a better relationship with your husband. I want to stress that this book is not just for wives but would also be great for any woman who is engaged!
Understanding where you both come from and what you want out of the marriage are two of the most helpful pieces of advice in the book. Seeing how our parents were together can influence how we treat each other. Understanding that concept will change how the two of you relate to each other. Making sure to frequently talk about where you want to be in the future also helps keep you walking down the same path at the same time!
I gave this book 5/5 stars because it was easy to read and understand. Each chapter had helpful and practical advice and would be a great present for any woman in a serious relationship.
