Inventions of God (and Eva)

 

Inventions of God (and Eva) is a great story. It tells about how God loves to invent and so does Eva.

Eva's inventions may not be quite equal to God's but God loves his inventions and so does Eva. Eva isn't afraid to try to improve her inventions again and again. She does not give up even if they are perfect.

I love the lessons to be learned in this book. Lessons of not being afraid to try again if something isn't perfect the first time. God is always near his inventions.

I received a copy of this book from Waterbrook and Multnomah in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

PRAYERS FOR THE SOLES (souls)

The Rocky Road to Ruin

I loved this book by Meri Allen. I do enjoy cozy mysteries and this is up there with one of my favorites.

When you pick up this book to read a bowl of ice cream should be close at hand to help fit the atmosphere..

As for the mystery, there were enough surprising happenings to keep me enthralled. I was on my toes through the entire book. This is a fun series. I cannot wait to read the next book.

I was given this book by NetGalley and St. Martin's Press in exchange for my honest review. All opinoins are my own. 

Murder at the Royal Botanic Gardens

 

A pending wedding, a healing plant and murder. They are perfect together. This is the first of these books that I have read and now I will be going back to read the others in this series. This book includes old friends and enemies..

In this book Wrexford and Charlotte are facing these good and bad plans together. There is a reuniting of Charlotte with her brother, who happens to have befriended the murdered man.

I love the twists and turns through this book and I was never lost by not reading the previous books. To top the whole book up Wrexford and Charlotte have their wedding at last.

I highly recommend this book to mystery readers as well as others.

I was given this book by Kensington Press in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. 

Secrets of the Happy Soul

 

This is an interesting book which shows us how God wants us to be happy. Plus it shares how he would like us to accomplish this. Our happiness is important to God. He did not create us for unhappiness.

This book is broken into sections. The first section talks about the happy soul. 

The second section talks about the secrets. These include: Focus on God; Resolved to follow God's Way; Attached to God's Word; Dependent on God's Provision; Confident in Who They Are; Surrendered to the King.

It is not always easy to remember about how our souls can be happy, especially in difficult times, however, this book is a good guideline.

I recommend this book highly, especially if you are looking for encouragement.
I received this book from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Brave: A Teen Girl's Guide to Beating Worry and Anxiety

 

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book, Brave, begins with a message to the parents along with names of books that may help the parents. Next is a note to the teenagers followed by the rules to how to read the book. The rules aren't difficult, just a reminder that it is your book and you can do what you may once to understand the book. 

There are three sections in the book each with three chapters. The first is Understanding. This he

lps to understand anxiety, why you are feeling this way and help you may get from this book.

The next section is Help. This includes helping the body, mind and heart.

The third section is Hope. This talks about how to turn to God and how He can help overcome worry and anxiety.

Each section consists of stories, advice and a lot of space to write.

I think so much of this book that I am going to give this book to my granddaughter in a few year.

I highly recommend Brave.
