Beyond the Pews - Official Review

In the book, Beyond the Pews, by Amy Ekwegh, you will feel compelled, convicted, motivated and remorseful. It takes the reader from a place of contentment and allows one to have a self-check on where he/she stand in the church ministry. From start to finish, I saw myself in each scenario mentioned in this book. Beyond the Pews is an easy and quick read. Once you start, you will not want to put the book down and can be read in a day. Ekwegh used biblical reference to prove the Christian's purpose goes beyond attending a church service. I do feel that there were some parts where the book became redundant. There were many mentions of “not leaning on others and having the will to go into prayer for yourself” and “having the faith to continue the Christian walk”. It would have been nice to see a chapter on Prayer and one on Faith to sum up those thoughts. For this reason, I would rate the book a 3 out of 5. No matter your position in the church, you will feel motivated to do more for the Kingdom! This was overall an enjoyable book and would be great for those who are new to the church and trying to understand ministry.

A Box of Awesome Things - Official Review

A Box of Awesome Things Matching game is exactly what its title says! It is a matching game with cardboard cards and items like lava, fireflies, s’mores and more! I love the box that the cards come in. They are divided into four sections and by color and comes in a decorated box, so storage for these cards makes it very easy. I played this game with my two-year-old and he had a fun time playing this game. My oldest, whose nine, did not think the game was that fascinating and got bored fast; however, it is great for little ones who are learning matching skills. I rate this game a 3 out of 5 due to the lack of interest for older children. Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this game free in agreement to write a honest review on my blog.

The Dream Centered Life - Official Review

The Dream Centered Life: Discover What Drives You by Luke Barnett, is a must read for those who need a little push in putting thoughts into actions. As the author started in the beginning of the book, “everything starts with a dream”, is a reminder that anything worth having requires work and realization that God has plans for each of us. Barnett takes you on a journey of how he lost his dream only to go through the obstacles of finding it again. This book is needed for this time, as many people wonder who they are and what their true purpose involves. Burnett also teaches you that if you don’t have a dream or a purpose, you will live someone else’s. The Dream Centered Life is revelation for someone who is wondering in circles with no destination. I highly recommend and will be sure to give this book away as a raffle for an event or a Christmas gift.  This book can be found on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Centered-Life-Discovering-What-Drives/dp/0735289654/ref...

No One Ever Asked, by Katie Ganshert is a page turner! I enjoyed every emotion and sentiment from each character's perspective. The story is about a  school district that loses its accreditation and the community of Crystal Ridge must open its doors to accept the students from the closed district. The views are from three very different women: Camille Gray--the wife of an executive, mother of three, long-standing PTA chairwoman and champion fundraiser--faced with a shocking discovery that threatens to tear her picture-perfect world apart at the seams. Jen Covington, the career nurse whose long, painful journey to motherhood finally resulted in adoption but she is struggling with a happily-ever-after so much harder than she anticipated. Twenty-two-year-old Anaya Jones--the first woman in her family to graduate college and a brand-new teacher at Crystal Ridge's top elementary school, unprepared for the powder-keg situation she's stepped into. This book speaks volumes to...
