  • The Mark

    Book 8 of the Left Behind series. This book was a great middle book, but let you wanting more. There was less action in this one and more getting certain chess pieces in order. It is exciting to think that there are still seven books left. At some level you wonder how it could get…

  • Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl

    This classic as you can tell by the title is done in diary entries. As I became immersed in the story, I began to have a different view of the Holocaust. Granted we have guesses what happened in the end to this young lady, but it is haunting to visit the story of what could…

  • The Indwelling

    Book 7 of the alert Behind series. This brings us to the half way point in the story arc. I felt that this was masterfully done. Some action scenes but a lot of the end of days details. This one was different that the others as it was focused on the death and resurrection of…

  • Shaman’s Revenge

    Book 6 of the Way of the Shaman series. Loved this one. It was full of twists and turns. Spent the whole time trying to figure out who the bad guy was. The ending was perfect for the series. Surprised that there is still another book to go. Excited to see where the author takes…

  • Assassins

    Book 6 of the Left Behind series. We continue to get deeper and deeper into the final days as explained by the Book of Revelations. It continues to be very interesting to think about how the final time will be and possibly how the people will think and act during that time. Still highly recommend…

  • Spiritual Plateaus

    This book albeit dated is still very pertinent to spiritual development. It is interesting to think beyond the basics of testimony and how to further develop spiritual strength. It speaks to the journey that we each take as we follow our own religious lives. If you’re looking for a way to increase your personal spirituality,…

  • Zen in the Art of Writing

    If somehow in your life you have missed out on experiencing anything by Ray Bradbury they you need to repent now. I would record this book to any writers or would be writers. My favorite thing about this book is that he never claims that you can become a great writer overnight. Instead he touts…

  • The Mystery in the Snow

    Book 32 of the Boxcar Children. A lighthearted mystery with a plethora of suspects, even the Alden children. Mysterious things are a foot on the mountain. Someone is trying to ruin the fun and it is up to the Aldens to figure it out. With they do it before the winter games are ruined? You…

  • The Mystery of the Singing Ghost

    Book 31 of the Boxcar Children. This one ranks right up there with an episode of Scooby-Doo. I feel it might have been a little over balanced with possible suspects. And the ending was just missing the whole “and we would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those pesky kids…” Aside from…

  • The Disappearing Friend Mystery

    Book 30 of the Boxcar Children. This was a fun little book and very light hearted. Also a strong recommend for those young or timid readers. Especially recommend for kids to see what hard work can do. For older readers this will hold less as it is very telegraphed.
