Tozer on the Son of God by A. W. Tozer

 I have studies A.W. Tozer through other devotionals in the past. I have found he always speaks to my heart and his entries have true meaning. 

None of the passages are very long so it make a convenient devotional that will resonate with the reader throughout the day.

I was given this book by NetGalley and Moody Publishing in exchange for my honest review. 

His Truth is Marching On: John Lewis and The Power of Hope

 



This book was a little overwhelming at first, but as I went through it, it gained in relevance. It does begin with quite a bit of religious content and I could see if a non-Christian picked up the book, they would probably put it back down. I am glad that I did not.

As the book progressed there is discussion on whether John Lewis is a saint and then it goes on to tell of earlier stories of him, including one where he accidentally drowned a chicken that he was baptizing only to see it come back.

I truly like John Lewis' message against hatred and I am so glad that I read this book cover-to-cover. The words within will stay with me for a long time. 

I was given this book by NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Random House in exchange for my honest review. I thank them for this opportunity to read this great book.

Desert Diary by Michael O. Tunnell

 This is a fascinating book about life in a Japanese internment camp from a child's perspective. It was obvious that the author went to great lengths to present this accurate account. My college friend's father was interned in one of these camps during WWII. This started my process of looking into it. Between my friend and my desire to obtain knowledge of historical events, I have researched this topic quite a bit. This book is an excellent resource for anyone that is not aware, or is interested in more awareness of this time. I could even see using this in middle or elementary school classes as a resource.
