This is book one of the Tell of my Kingdom's Glory series. It is the book of Exodus told in a very detailed and descriptive way. Sonya does a great job of making you feel that you are in that place and time. She covers a lot of characters within a certain timeline and proves she has done her homework.
This is a book is so full of drama, changes, obedience and many different people that as you read you need to stay focused. This is an action packed book and not a light read, you can understand it, however, you need to pay attention due to the constant changes. I was intrigued and it kept my full attention.
I would recommend this book to those that enjoy the history of the bible, those that want to learn more about the bible and those that just want a good complexed (easy to understand) read. This is one of those books that I have to be in the mood to sit, pay attention and read every word that was written. It really makes you think and teaches the obedience you need for GOD's plan.

Among the Fair Magnolias ~ Alexander, Gray, Love, Musser
This book is 4 different short stories all by different authors in one book. All the stories are taking place in the South, with southern roots. Each author takes you back into time, in a different era, giving you a diversity story for each of the novellas. I am not a fan of the period in time, but wanted to try something different. It was ok for my taste, they were good, I liked that they were short and I could read one book in a setting. I was able to pick up and start reading for a quick change of pace.
I would recommend this for those that want a quick read and if you like the civil war era or a history type setting then you will be pleased with this. Not my favorite read, but I enjoyed the difference of each story. All authors kept my attention and did a good job with the story line and characters. If you are someone that enjoys the Southern history era, then this will be an enjoyable read for you.

Fun, Fun, Fun.... Read, Read, Read.... Laugh, Laugh, Laugh..... that is the way I felt reading this book. I enjoyed it tremendously and couldn't put it down. It is a short read and very entertaining.

Most chapters are of the comedy act that Tim does and it will be a review for those that follow Tim. For those that don't know Tim, you will now become a fan.

Lazaus Awakening ~ Joanna Weaver (DVD bible study)
The DVD bible study is to be used along with the book Lazarus Awakening. This is a very good tool to go with the book, it contains a study guide book, 8 sessions (each approx. 20 mins. long) to be used each week and bonus video of Israel moments, which details education and talks all about Israel and what is it like in the land of Israel.
The study teaches how to get out of your tomb of dead and come alive in the faith of Jesus. The videos are so magnificent, the scenes are so colorful and real, they did such a great job with teaching and showing the Holy land. You won't want to stop watching, you will want to keep watching all of the videos in one setting. Which you can do if you want, but the study is meant to be done over an 8 week period. The study guide is set up to watch the video, follow along in the study guide and fill in the blanks (given in the video lesson), make a plan section - answering questions that also can be used as discussion questions, Prayer request section and then the list of the week's assignment of to do and study what you will need to study during the week. This study is definitely bible based and uses the NIV version of the bible is used.
I would recommend this to everyone, you can do it alone, in a very small group. large group, teen groups or just 2 friends getting together once a week for lunch. I love this study, it is up-to-date, fresh and very easy to understand, this study is fully packed to educate and makes you want to learn. Excellent job done on this study!!

Hope Harbor ~ Irene Hannon
This is a book that you don't want to end, you are so wrapped up in this town and the people in it, that it makes you feel you live there. It is a story of hope, courage, forgiveness, comfort, soul searching and so much more. The main story line is of the romance of two people coming from very different life styles and backgrounds. It teaches of the heartbreak and compassion that every person goes through in daily life.
I liked this book a lot, it is a great summer afternoon read while sipping on a freshly brewed glass of ice tea. You will be taken to a new place and not want to return, it will make you smile, think about life and just feel the happiness all during the reading of this book. I would recommend this to those that want an easy read and to be able to escape. The best part is that you can do it all again next summer when book #2 hits the book stores. (yeah!)
