World Upside Down

a good book and well written.




My Review

It took a while, before I could start reading the World Upside Down, but
as always in the books of Louis McCall, it was a wonderful story, which
I couldn't put away. 

It was a thoughtful and meaningful book so, I recommend
'World Upside Down: The Life of Paul, God's Chosen
Messenger' for readers who enjoy biblical history.

Without any doubt I give a 5 star rating.

Bookreview: Kitty Counts Her Blessings

 A children's picture book about the joy of gratitude.


What a beautiful and colourful children's book



Summary


Children are experts at finding delight everywhere they look, even when
life gets a little dark. Kitty Counts Her Blessings celebrates that gift-and
shares a lesson in counting besides.

As the story begins, Kitty has no trouble counting her blessings, from the sun
on her nose to the zing of the bees. But when rain threatens to spoil her fun,
finding blessings isn't so easy. Then she remembers learning hide-and-seek,
and suddenly joys are around every corner-and before long, so is her boy,
ready to play and count along with her.

This cheerful, rhyming book invites children and the grownups who love them to
seek the blessings in their own world.





My review


When I started reading this beautiful and colourful children's book, I was thinking:
perhaps we all should count our blessings more often. So, it contains a lesson for
us all. I liked the way the book and the story was built and the pictures really
were amazing!


I would recommend this book to parents who like to read for their children. Together
with the amazing paintings, I give without any doubt a 5 star rating for this book!

Bookreview: The Epic of God

Summary

In early times parables were used to make practical and spiritual points, 
provoke thought and to enlighten.

The Epic of God is a speculative fictional account of the epic story of our
heroic god. Though fictional this story is based on Biblical history, hints
and prophesy, taken from scripture, made alive and knit together by the
narrative of a watcher angel.




My Review


It took a while when I started reading the book, due to the title and due to the
topic. However, when I started reading, I was fascinated by the way the author
re-told famous stories on his own perfect way. Is it one of my favourite books?
No. But it was very well told!

I would recommend this book to Christian Readers and I want to give a 4
star rating on 5.
