Surviving Henry is a terrific book

Erin Taylor Young is a terrific writer. “Surviving Henry” is such a wonderful read.

Henry is a boxer puppy; however, he is not just any boxer puppy. Henry has a stubborn streak and he wants what he wants when he wants it. This is the story of how Henry works his way into, and wins the hearts of Erin and her family.

Young takes the reader through obedience training, although it is never sure who is being trained Henry or the family. There are also road trips, boat rides, and boarding. Each of these events includes episodes that bring a smile. This could be because of the readers’ similar experiences or because the way Young and Henry bring these times into the heart.

I would read more by this author anytime. Thank you, Erin Taylor Young.

Book Review: Tested By Fire by Kelley Latta

In the book Tested by Fire by Kelley Latta, the readers are invited to discover and live God’s will throughout their lives. In this Scripture-based four-week study Latta leads the readers through the necessary building blocks that are needed to survive what is thrown at them.

This is an excellent resource to find God’s will in one’s life and to learn how to share His love with others.

Book Review: The Illusion of More

From the time of Adam and Eve, through today, people have always desired more than what they are given by God. In “The Illusion of More: The Trick to Finding Faith in a World of Deception” Harris III explores this desire that we have to for the unattainable, and quite often, the unneeded.

Through the use of Bible stories and verses demonstrates Satan role in this and how it was Satan’s downfall in the first place. Each chapter ends with reflection questions to see how the lessons within fit each person’s live and the paths we can take to avoid Satan in our lives and, instead, invite God in us.

Inspirational story of how God works in two very different people's lives

God had plans for Claire Díaz-Ortiz and Sammy Ikua Gachagua. Neither one of them dreamt of how each life would influence the other.

In the book “Hope Runs: An American Tourist, a Kenyan Boy, a Journey of Redemption” the story of these two people unfolds as they meet in an orphanage in Kenya. Through the connection that they feel for each other an organization was formed to help this orphanage and school implement and run a running program for the children. Sammy was one of these children. Through their time together each was able to help the other in ways that neither of them could predict.

These two created a unique story where each tells their story in individual chapters throughout the book. It is interesting to see an action unfold from both perspectives. What a wonderful book, once I began it I did not want to put it down.
