Review: Launch Out Into The Deep by Acacia Slaton Beumer ( book)
Book description:
Here is a compelling book which features powerful poems and prose and it sprinkles several scriptures into the mix. This book speaks to people who have gone through serious trials, lay-offs from work, discouraging reversals, frustrations and those who struggle with temptations of various kinds. It obviously will touch a lot of readers who pick up this book. On the other side of the coin, the book speaks of how success can turn a person from God. A poem titled "Is Success A Curse In Your Life?" speaks to this issue. Another poem, "One Million Records Sold" speaks of alcohol and drugs and partying and how that some may claim they know Jesus but their fruit does not testify of this. There is no question about it, a person who reads this book will be exposed to scripture, from both the Old and New Testaments. There are discussion questions too on the text, titled "Are You Ready?" and another set titled "God Has A Plan" and "Let's Talk About Sex". Different forms of temptation are mentioned including sex and one poem, titled "Temptations", deals with this issue. A poem titled "Summer Madness" speaks of women wearing tight and also little clothing and the temptations young men face. The scriptural stories include the wonderful story of Ruth and Boaz as well as the story of Job and his tests and trials. This fantastic book should be utilized by Sunday School classes for teens and adults and is a terrific personal read. We are pleased to award it our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal for ages twelve plus. It does deal with sexual temptations and is not intended for young children but it is a powerful read for those twelve and above. "Launch Out Into the Deep!" is also available as an audio book. -Reviewed by Edwin L. Carpenter, The Dove Foundation

Review: What Daddy Did Today by Walter Wally.
Christina's voice:
To me a father and his kid(s) is the most precious thing on earth. I love to see my boyfriend with our kids, knowing he loves them the way he does just puts a smile on my face. This book is similar to that, this story is great for a busy working daddy who stays gone most of the day, great way to settle and cuddle with there little one while reading this book. This is daddy's chance to tell his child about all of the amazing things he hoes while he is away working, but all at the end of that big day the daddy has only one thing on his mind and that is to get back home to his child. I recommend this book " What daddy did today." by Walter Wally to any parent who is looking to read there little one a story before bed.

8 Banned Books You Should Buy Your Kids

Books are banned for a number of different reasons; in some cases, people may feel that a book will cause children to misbehave. In other cases, religious beliefs may seem to conflict with a book’s message. Regardless of the reason, banning a book often increases demand for it. It is important for kids to grapple with challenging ideas and understand that both good and bad content must be placed in context. Here are eight banned books you should buy for your kids.
1. To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
While the content might be a bit intense for young readers, To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic American novel that deals with inequality and outright racism during the Jim Crow era. Its historical settings are important as children should learn about the dark aspects of United States history. It also deals with issues of judicial fairness and handling adversity in a manner that will help kids develop a mature outlook about the world.
2. Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
Dystopian novels are a hallmark of 20th century literature, and many books of this genre have ended up being banned. While there are many great books to consider in this category, none challenge minds quite as much as Brave New World. While some of the events in the book are abhorrent, readers must grapple with ethics in a manner than most literature cannot touch.
3. The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins
While it has not yet been lauded as an American classic, the Hunger Games trilogy deals with issues of how entertainment has the potential to cause great harm. Because of its violent, dark nature, the trilogy has been banned in certain areas. The novels can be a great way to show children how movies cannot match the impact of books and to encourage kids to read in an era dominated by the Internet and television.
4. The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger
A longstanding favorite on banned books lists everywhere, The Catcher in the Rye shows kids that adults are not necessary the arbiters of kindness and fairness they may believe. Although it has a penchant for causing a bit of a rebellious streak, generations of readers have lauded the novel as one of the books that encouraged them to think independently.
5. Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain
Huckleberry Finn is the oldest book on the list, but its message still resonates today. Dealing with a young runaway and an escaped slave, the novel form a great way to show kids the complexity of humans and issues about how language and attitudes have evolved over the years.
6. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey
By combining mental illness with acts of rebellion, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest compares freedom with the reality of the mind. As an example about how even lauded institutions can serve both good and ill effects, it is an important novel that address the reality of grappling with difficult subjects that science cannot address perfectly.
7. The Harry Potter series, by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter is one of the most successful books of the last generation, and its legacy will likely endure for decades. The Harry Potter series contains little objectionable material and is a great way to show kids how insensitivity can lead people to ban material simply because it is not compatible with certain religious or philosophical doctrines.
8. James and the Giant Peach, by Roald Dahl
Another childhood classic, James and the Giant Peach has been banned because it portrayed a protagonist who fled from abusive family members. Mixing fantasy with the realities of life, the novel shows how working with others who are different can lead to great outcomes.

Review: Naughty Makeover for Nice Girls-Book
Naughty is the new Nice..
That’s the mantra and message of the new “tell-all” how-to paperback, physical book from beauty maestro Dimitri James. In Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls, James creates a new kind of finishing school–one for nice girls who always finish anywhere but first.
Tired
of seeing the many “nice girls” in his life constantly overlooked,
James, a celebrity makeup artist, style guru and television personality,
offers a lively and entertaining read full of actionable tips and
tricks, showing you how to get whom and what you want.
Those
open the book will learn how to look classy, not trashy, trading the
prim, proper uniform of “safe” clothing, makeup and hair for something
sexier and more inviting, but still situation-appropriate. “You would be
surprised how many women don’t know how to use clothes and makeup to
market themselves in various social or professional settings,” says
James. “‘Nice’ girls are invisible, and ‘trashy’ ones go over the top.
‘Naughty’ is the happy medium that pushes the envelope without crossing
the line.”
Thus,
James challenges the traditional connotations of the word “naughty” and
redefines it as a spirit that can change both image and self-perception
for the better. In chapters that range from “Naughty at Work” to
“Naughty First Date” to “Naughty Traveler” and “Yummy Mommy,” the author
shows readers how to dress outside the box and re-vamp their beauty
regimens to add sizzle to their style for all seasons and occasions.
Flip
open the physical book to almost any page and find a small gem of
wisdom, or a stunningly clear depiction of “nice” vs. “naughty” vs.
“trashy,” all sprinkled with James’ trademark wit, candor and spirit of
camaraderie.
Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls is
loaded with makeup and fashion advice to empower a Nice Girl to
transform herself into a spicy but classy woman in every situation. So,
go ahead and channel your inner naughty. Instead of fading into the
background, become a star in your own life!
Christina's voice:
The book was really good i love how it just gives you all around opions on how to turn the heat and add sex appeal to everyday situations. The most favorite part i read in there was " There is a big difference between Trashy and Naughty." for one Trashy says "come get it", and Naughty says " I know you want it, but you're not hungry enough yet."-

Review: The Forgiven Duke by Jamie Carie - Book
Christina's voice:
I was really excited to review The Forgiven Duke because i had done read the first The Guardian Duke both by Jame Carie. The Forgiven Duke to me was also another great book, I love a mystery type book that makes me where I don't want to put the book down, and i can't wait to get to the next chapter. I don't want to spoil this book for anyone, but it is a really good book. I have some information below on what this book is all about as well. About the Book:Tethered by her impulsive promise to marry Lord John Lemon - the path of least resistance - Alexandria Featherstone sets off toward Iceland in search of her parents with a leaden heart. A glimpse of her guardian, the Duke of St. Easton - the path less traveled by - on Dublin’s shore still haunts her.
Will he come after her? Will he drag her back to London, quelling her mission to rescue her treasure-seeking parents, or might he decide to throw caution to the wind and choose Foy Pour Devoir: “Faith for Duty,” the St. Easton motto. The Featherstone motto Valens et Volens: “Willing and Able,” beats in her heart and thrums through her veins. She will find her parents and find their love, no matter the cost.
The powerful yet wing-clipped Duke of St. Easton has never known the challenge that has become his life since hearing his ward’s name. Alexandria Featherstone will be the life or the death of him. Only time and God’s plan will reveal just how much this man can endure for the prize of love.About the Author:When she was six, Jamie’s parents met Jesus and soon after started a church. It changed everything.Road trips with her dad—to and from Bible studies across Indiana—were filled with talks of things beyond earth’s bounds – creation and the fall, God and Jesus and the rapture, the earthly walk compared to the spiritual walk, and how we are born for more than what we can see or touch.
The highlight of those nights was stopping at a truck stop in the middle of the night where her dad would spend a little of the offering basket on two slices of pie and a couple of Cokes. Nothing ever felt so special as a middle of the night slice of pie with her dad. And nothing could stop the writing pouring out of her.
As Jamie’s relationship with God grew, she discovered her heart was filled with songs and poetry. During high school she wrote lyrics for her brother’s band. (And she sang them too!) After college, Jamie married, had two sons and decided to stay home with them. While she homeschooled she wrote skits, poems, plays and short stories for school and church.Snow Angel was born on a frosty night in an old farmhouse in Fishers, Indiana, where the cold floor gave plenty of motivation for the snow scene. Jamie loves to write late at night when the house is quiet and the darkness seems alive. Elizabeth and Noah had been playacting in herhead for a long time, so the story went fast.
When her eldest son turned five she dove into the world of novels. She’d read romance novels for years, but couldn’t relate to the flawless, saintly heroines in Christian romance novels. So she decided to write her own.
Ten years later Snow Angel was published and won the ForeWord magazine Romance Book of the Year winner, was a National “Best Books 2007” Awards winner, and a 2008 RITA Awards® Best First Book finalist. It was the beginning of her dream career.
Jamie and her husband Tony have been married for twenty-one years and live in Indianapolis with their three sons and a giant of a dog named Leo.
If she could only say one thing to her readers it would be, “Live the dreams God has destined you for!”

Review/Giveaway: A Perfect Pet for Peyton and The 5 Love Languages for Children
A perfect Pet for Peyton
This wonderfully imaginative children’s hardcover book by bestselling authors Gary Chapman and Rick Osborne, featuring four-color illustrations (with hidden details!) by Wilson Williams, Jr., will help children learn the importance of love. Based on Gary’s highly successful The 5 Love Languages®, A Perfect Pet for Peyton tells an entertaining and playful story of five children who each, with the help of Mr. Chapman and the unique pets at his special emporium, discover their own personal love language. Children and parents alike will experience firsthand the power of the love languages as they cuddle up and spend precious time together reading this book over and over again.
Christina's voice:
I had a blast trying to read this to my three year old pointing out the different animals, but i couldn't really keep her steal long enough because this book really isn't in her age group, but doesn't mean i didn't enjoy the book myself. There are little activity's through out the book, but she was to young to do them. ( reminder she is only 3 ) It teaches kids about the 5 love languages on how we love and feel love differently.Ready to buy? Head on over and check out the 5 Love Languages website.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 5 Love Languages of children
To be their best, children need to feel loved. But if you and your child speak different love languages, your affection might get lost in translation, affecting the child’s attitude, behavior, and development. Dr. Gary Chapman’s groundbreaking Five Love Languages series has helped millions of couples communicate love more clearly, and Dr. Ross Campbell M.D. has applied the innovative system to children as well. The 5 Love Languages of Children gives practical suggestions for learning how your children interpret love and creating a sense of security in which they can thrive.
Christina's voice:
This authors gave their theory that there are five different ways that people express and experience love: physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, gifts and acts of service. By the time kids are five or so, they say, the kids have started to have a preference (before then children just need love in all the languages all the time). Knowing your child's love language can help you to be sure that they know that you love them, which leads to all kinds of good things they'd like to tell you more about. I think this is actually one of the more useful parenting books I've read, and recommend it quite highly. Ready to buy? Head on over and check out the 5 Love Languages website.
