Hidden Falls

You can download the first episode here for free

I'm not sure what to think. I enjoyed this first installment of the weekly series. The author introduced the characters, and I felt I could get to know them. I'm looking forward to the next installments, that is if I don't forget to download. I read the 1st installment in about an hour and it kept my attention. The story so far revolves around Ted Quinn a beloved teacher who isn't thrilled about all of the attention being put on him. The story takes place in a small town which seems to have some secrets. If you like a book that you have to wait on the next installment I think you will like this one. It made me want to know what happens next. 

No Cape Required

 

 

No Cape Required: 52 Ways to Unleash your Inner Hero by Kristen Parrish includes 52 devotionals that can be applied to daily life. In the introduction Ms Parrish states “we are all in search of heroes”  and  “the good news is that being a hero requires no cape”. “The Holy Spirit enables us to do great things”.

The book is broken up into 52 devotionals each one featuring a hero from television, movies and books. Each devotional gives and example of a situation that the hero has been in and then scripture is given so that we can see how biblically we can apply the life lesson to our own lives. Then that is followed by a suggested prayer and ideas on how we can tap in on our inner hero.

Each of the heroes are well know and probably recognizable by most people and the devotions seem as though they could be helpful. I would have personally would have liked to have had more biblical references and biblical heroes versus fictional characters but still there are good biblical comparisons to the fictional heroes and situations.

This is probably not my favorite devotional but I believe my daughter would probably enjoy it a lot more. This is one of those books that I’m not sure I would highly recommend but if asked wouldn’t give it a poor review either. It will be an individual’s preference and taste in devotionals. It does seem biblically sound which is very important to me.

I would suggest looking through the devotions before purchasing and see if it would be of interest to you. I received this book at no charge from booksneeze.com in exchange for an honest review.
