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.

I was given this book by the author and bookfun.org in exchange for my fair and honest review.  

Touch My Tears

This book, a compilation of stories, is about the removal of the Choctaw Indians from their native home to a home thousands of miles away. While they traveled they underwent disease, miserable weather, derision from people in towns along the way and many deaths.

This book opens the eyes of the reader to the journey from many points of view. There is a young girl, animals, young man, a man who was to die in the new land and even a clay pot. Each story will break the heart as it opens the eyes to the way these people were treated when they were trying to fulfill their part of a promise. Sarah Elizabeth Sawyer did an excellent job in presenting the story of this journey. For the person who is interested in history of this country or the Native Americans I would highly recommend this book.
