The Prayer Box

Currently reading The Prayer Box by Lisa Wingate that I borrowed as an ebook from our public library.  It is a good book so far.  An attention grabber right from the beginning.  Once completed I will give a more detail review without spoilers. 

Do you have a book you'd like to recommend?  Leave it in the comments below.  Please online clean books preferably christian based.

NKJV Word Study Bible

Recently I purchased the NKJV Word Study Bible although I am just getting into it I am amazed by the studies I have been able to complete.  The bible includes a concordance and color maps.  At the beginning of each chapter there is an overview and a list of watch words.  This bible is an awesome study tool to add to your collection.  I have the ebook version which is easy to navigate.  At the end of verses there is a highlighted word which takes you to a section which contains definition and a list of corresponding scripture references.

Overall this bible is well put together creating an amazing study tool.  There are 1700 underlined words throughout the bible with definitions and other scriptures verses that contain that particular word.  It has 1700 words that you will find underlined as you read the scriptures; each has a definition of that word and other scriptures verses that use that word. In addition, it gives the Hebrew or Greek root word to help you understand the meaning.It has 1700 words that you will find underlined as you read the scriptures; each has a definition of that word and other scriptures verses that use that word.

Book Review: A Heart Once Broken

A Heart Once Broken is a Christian fiction book by author Jerry Eicher.  Jerry is the best selling author of numerous books and I am certain this one will be another best seller.  The Amish characters Lydia and Sandra Troyer and best friend Rosemary Beiler have grown up close friends.  As they are nearing the age of marriage the cousins seem to be interested in the same young man,  Ezra Wagler.  The cousins desire him to offer a buggy ride home after singing which shows an intent in getting to know one another for the purpose of marriage.  Eventually the girls make a deal as to who should have Ezra's affection, unfortunately the deal doesn't turn out as planned.  Tragedy occurs in the girls lives and changes many things in their lives and the community.

This novel is a fast read and attention grabber.  I always enjoy reading Amish stories and this is one is another I will add to my reading collection.  I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys clean fiction and especially to lovers of Amish fiction as myself.

I received a free copy of this book, from Netgalley in exchange for my honest feedback, which I have  given.

Guest Review: The Family Under the Bridge

Review by:  Colin L.                                                                          March 6, 2014

​The book “The Family Under The Bridge” by Natalie Savage Carlson is about this man named “Armond” who was a hobo living under the bridges in Paris. His belongings were pushed around in an old baby buggy. It was around Christmas time, it was in the winter time so it was cold. Armond found the Calcets and the three children under the bridge. Armond did not care for children at first but then at the end he did care for children.Armond found a job and became a business man. The book the “The Family Under The Bridge” did not grab my attention because it was not my interest.   It was a drama book and I don’t like drama books. Although I don't like drama books, I learned from the book that I should guide people into the right way. I also learned from the story that homeless families get encouraged by people guiding them to.
