The Blue Zones American Kitchen

 

I received a sample of this book to review. From what I saw, it looked like I had some of the recipes from the first section,   "Indigenous, Native and Early American." The recipes and the pictures were wonder and the steps for the unusual foods were easy to follow. I look forward to the official release so that I may purchase this book and try some of the other recipes from this book.

I recommend this book with anyone with a curiosity for new, to you, recipes.

Heroes of Havensong:Dragonboy

 

This series "Heroes of Havensong" has a grand introduction in "Dragonboy.' This books brings four unlikely friends together to help save a world that some have grown up with. It is filled with adventure and friendship. The four main characters were so well written that I would catch myself cheering for them and encouraging them through all the trials they faced.

This is a terrific book.

I highly recommend it.

One Word For Today

 

What a wonderful devotional book. This book gives one word as the heading, then there is a verse to think upon. The short reading is easy to fit into any busy day and it filled my heart with God's love. 

Along with each of these there is a question, a prayer and a step for action.

I could see this as an individual, family or small group devotion. It could open the door for sharing thoughts.

I loved this devotional and would recommend it to everyone.

Last Ride to Graceland

I 

I read this book a while ago and I thought that I had already reviewed it. I was shocked to see that I had not. Just looking at the title took me back into the beautiful story which took fiction and non-fiction and blended them into a beautiful harmony. Elvis, of course is the non-fiction part and the way the author was able to take his life and intertwine it with the rest of this story is beautiful. I believe this is a book for anyone, whether they are fans of Elvis or not, however, if they are it will be sweeter still.
