Kaleidoscope: Seeing God's Wit And Wisdom In A Whole New Light by Patsy Clairmont

Acclaimed author and Women of Faith speaker Patsy Clairmont causes womens' hearts to leap and their hopes to lift in this quirky, straight-to-the point look at the Proverbs.

Understanding the Christian life and the Bible can be a daunting task. But maybe God didn't mean it to be so hard. In Kaleidoscope of Proverbs, Patsy Clairmont pieces together some powerful messages from God and reveals new facets of beauty, inspiration, and instruction. Written for busy women, Patsy offers brief, powerful chapters that address the key aspects of their lives, hearts, and relationships.

In the Proverbs, God gives us small gems of hope and truth, and in Kaleidoscope of Proverbs, Patsy Clairmont unveils them for readers with her trademark humor and insightful teaching.

This was a book I recieved from Thomas Nelson to review. I think my main reason for getting it was because of the cover, since it's so bright and colorful. It also was the most interesting of the ones they had at the time. So when I opened it I was ready to read it and find out something new, and a new way to understand those previously misunderstood verses of Proverbs. So when I finished reading the book I was amazed at what I had learned. It really helped me apply verses I previously hadn't understood to my own life. It was really easy to understand, and I was able to read through it without an issue. I really liked, although I do have to say that it was definitely geared for more of an adult audience rather than that of teenagers. But I still enjoyed it none the less.

Healing Sands: A Sullivan Crisp Novel by Nancy Rue & Stephen Arterburn

In the struggle for healing, when do you fight and when do you surrender?

Ryan Alexander-Coe is a talented photojournalist who has been on assignment all over the world. But when her two sons choose to live with their father after her divorce, Ryan must give her career up for a small-town newspaper job in order to be near them.

Life spirals out of control when her fifteen-year-old son is arrested. Desperation--both over the fact that she cannot believe her son commited this crime and that he refuses to talk to her--sends her anger level soaring . . . and eventually sends her storming into Dr. Sullivan Crisp's office in search of ways to cope with her anger. Sully is in town assisting at one of his clinics and continuing his search for Belinda Cox, the woman whose guilt-inducing counseling caused the death of his wife and daughter. When Sully's search ends in disaster, both he and Ryan will have to fully rely on God--rather than themselves--to survive these storms.


This book is amazing. The story line is easy to follow and it's easy to get to know the characters and almost feel like you are the character. This book was a great read, in the fact that, my parents are getting divorced right now and although this is from the adults view, it still was a good book to read at this point in time. I definitely could relate to the feelings of Ryan, as well as her kids. The writing is amazing, the characters are true to life, and the overall story is absolutely incredible!!! I would recommend it to anyone, whether they have been affected by divorce or not, because it's an amazing book!!!

Green: Book Zero: The Begining and The End by Ted Dekker

At Last . . . The Circle Reborn

The story of how Thomas Hunter first entered the Black Forest and forever changed our history began at a time when armies were gathered for a final battle in the valley of Migdon. Green is a story of love, betrayal, and sweeping reversals set within the apocalypse. It is the beginning: the truth behind a saga that has captured the imagination of more than a million readers with the Books of History Chronicles.

But even more, Green brings full meaning to the Circle Series as a whole, reading as both prequel to Black and sequel to White, completing a full circle. This is Book Zero, the Circle Reborn, both the beginning and the end. The preferred starting point for new readers . . . and the perfect climax for the countless fans who’ve experienced Black, Red, and White.

The whole time I was reading this book I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn't wait to find out what came next. As I had previously read Black, Red and White, I already was familar with the characters and the story line. Although, I think this is a book that you can start the series with and continue with Black, then Red, and then White, especially if you have never read any of the other three books. This is a great book if you love suspense, mystery, romance, suprising twists, and a very insightful spiritual comparisons. This is one book that I would recommend to anyone that I knew liked supsense and mystery. Rather I would just suggest this book to anyone who liked to read. Ted Dekker does a great job of getting you into the story, so much so that you don't want to put the book done. Another great book by Ted Dekker! And an AMAZING finish to the Circle Series!!!

I Review For Thomas Nelson!!
