<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Healing Power of Essential Oils by Eric Zielinskie, DC is
a wonderful resource for essential oils.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am very new to the essential oil world and have been searching for
something to help get me started. This book contains 150 recipes and remedies.
There is a link to videos that are very helpful. There is also very basic
information on getting started to more advanced methods.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This book is written from a Christian perspective which I absolutely
love. I suffer from migraines and have been hoping to find a more natural way
to treat them. I hate the way my medications make me feel. There is a recipe in
this book that I did and I can honestly say as long as I use it several times
and at the onset of symptoms it has helped tremendously at keeping them at bay.
I’ve used the mixture several times and have had great results. I’m hoping this
is a long term thing. I am not sure it will keep all of them away but any help
whatsoever is good for me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have
recently purchased more oils to try out some other things and cannot wait to
see the results. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The author gives good advice on choosing oils and his top 8
must haves are included. He also gives good advice on how to store and use oils
in different ways from diffusion to bathing. There is also a recipe for Mrs. Z’s
carrier oil that I can’t wait to try.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The only thing negative I can say about this book is I am
not a huge fan of the paper it is printed on. Several pages were slightly
creased when it arrived and I managed to get a few pages damp with a towel and
they crinkled pretty badly. The paper is the equivalent in my opinion as what
you would find in a child’s drawing or sketching pad. I would not let this
deter me in purchasing or recommending this book to anyone who wants to learn
more.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I highly recommend this to beginners and novice people who
want to learn about oils and get started easily with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have other essential oil books and this is
my absolute favorite. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love I Can Only Imagine: A friendship with Jesus now and
forever by Bart Millard of Mercy Me. The song has such a special meaning and
now in a child’s book it is just as good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This book has very bright and colorful illustrations that
will automatically pull kids. It goes through what a child might imagine
spending time with God would be like but the final message is that we don’t
have to wait to spend time with Him, He is with us all of the time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I look forward to reading this over and over to my child.
This is one I believe we will cherish and enjoy for years to come. It will stay
in my library.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Faithful Finance: 10 secrets to move from fearful insecurity
to confident control by Emily Stroud is intended to help people make wise
financial decisions. I’ve seen firsthand the struggle many people have with financial
security or just taking care of their money in general. I was interested to see
what she had to say. Schools do a very poor job of teaching children how to
plan for their futures and many adults aren’t very good at taking care of their
money.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In this book the author shares 10 tips to help meet financial
goals. She gives 10 based on biblical principles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She helps one understand how to create a
budget and stick to it. She talks about avoiding debt and investing
wisely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She includes topics about
purchasing a home and life insurance even college savings for children. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I feel like there was some really good advice in this book.
Most things we already implement in our household but I will be passing this
book on to my young adult daughter as she prepares to go out into life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I believe this book would be beneficial to anyone who is
trying to get a handle on their finances as well as I believe this would be a
wonderful gift for a college graduate or a young couple who are just starting
out in life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mercer Mayer's Little Critter: Little Blessings Collection
includes four books in one. The books are You Go First, It’s True!, Being Thankful,
and We All Need Forgiveness. Each book teaches valuable lessons for little
ones. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It shows children through fun and
colorful illustrations values that God would be pleased with even though
sometimes we all mess up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You Go First is a story where Little Critter is always
wanting to be first, he isn’t thinking about anyone else’s feelings but his
own. By the end he has learned that being with his friends and taking turns is
much better.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In It’s True learning that even telling partial truths was
the same as lying. Little Critter quickly learns that God is more pleased with
us when we tell the truth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Being Thankful is exactly what it says. Little Critter
learns to be thankful for the things he has and does even though he may not
always get exactly what he wants.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lastly, We All Need Forgiveness, Little Critter is forgiven
when he makes mistakes at home but he doesn’t always extend this forgiveness to
others when they do something to him. Then he makes a mistake at school and all
of his friends get mad at him and aren’t so quick to forgive him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His mom teaches him we should always forgive
others just like God forgives us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eventually
they all forgive each other and everything is good again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love this book and would recommend it to families who have
small children who may need a gentle reminder of good behavior. I can’t wait to
read it to my little one. I received this book at no charge in exchange for an
honest review. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The NKJV Faithlife Ilustrated Study Bible has beautiful
colored illustrations chocked full of information and study material. It has
historical timelines, and 27 family trees. The introductions to each book is
very in depth. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love how so much information is packed into this bible
especially with the illustrations. I am a very visual learner and the
illustrations intrigue me and give me a visual to help me learn even more. I
also love the verse by verse study notes. In some bibles the study notes only
cover a few verses this one is much more thorough and does a great job. I
absolutely love the timelines included </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The introductions to the different books give so much
information including things such as outlines, themes, backgrounds, and
structure of the book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It gives a great
overview of what the author of the book is trying to tell us. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The font in this bible is very easy on the eyes and is a
little larger print. It does make for a more bulky bible but my eyes are very
grateful. The words of Christ are in red in this version and the headings are
in blue. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is one bible that will remain in my collection and I can
honestly say I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great study
bible. I received this book at no charge from booklookbloggers.com in exchange
for an honest review. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids by Kathryn Slattery is a
yearly devotional for children. I would say it is probably most appropriate for
younger children. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each devotion includes
a question, a scripture, a description or answer to the question and a brief
prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of the scriptures are KJV
but there are other notations of different versions included (NIV, NKJV, and
The Message Bible are a few).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I would suggest reading over the devotion before presenting
them to your child. There are some devotions that I would consider
controversial or maybe just one of those things that a person may or may not
agree with. There is one asking about Jesus living with dinosaurs, some about
various holidays and some that you may not want to introduce to younger
children such as the Oct 30<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> devotion that talks about horoscopes,
fortune telling and Ouija boards, although these are subjects that I would want
to introduce to older kids in may be hard for a 5 or 6 year old to grasp. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The one about dinosaurs may be controversial according
to your belief but doesn’t go into great detail so it could be a good
discussion point but just be prepared. Other holidays such as Valentine’s Day
is included and it talks about the death of Saint Valentine, again not sure it
is completely appropriate for younger children.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">For the most part I believe this devotional gives pretty
good answers to questions people may have, even as adults but I would suggest
reviewing them and researching on your own before presenting them to children.
I’m not sure at this point that I would recommend this particular devotion to
others because I haven’t dug into it deep enough but I doubt that I would.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will keep it and use it with discretion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A Prairie Girl’s Faith gives us an insight to Laura Ingalls
Wilder’s faith. Most of us are somewhat familiar with the Little House on the
Prairie series and the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder this book elaborates on her
spiritual journey which was researched by the author Stephen Hines.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her family was a big
source of where her faith was learned because they weren’t always close to a
church. They often faced hardships in their lives but their family had faith in
God and they taught their children. If you are a lover of all things from Laura
Ingalls Wilder grab this book and add it to your collection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">NKJV Unapologetic Study Bible has over 220 articles near
relevant scripture passages, quotes from historical figures and profiles of
historical figures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It addresses
relevant issues in today’s society focusing on different areas such as family

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">May the Faith Be With You Holy Bible NIRV says it is geared
toward ages 6-10 I would say more on the higher end of that age range. The
print is quite small.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">If you have a Star Wars fan this would make a great gift.
Although, I’m not a huge fan of the NIRV printing of the bible this one is
still very nice. Throughout there are colored, space themed pages with bible
verses for various subjects. It includes a dictionary at the end but no concordance.
Jesus’ words are not in red which is something I prefer but it isn’t a deal
breaker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There aren’t any kind of
footnotes or study notes other than the few colored pictures so I wouldn’t say
it is a good study bible but a good beginner bible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">

not one I will keep in my library though. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the Middle of the Mess: Strength for this Beautiful,
Broken Life by Sheila Walsh is a book to help to connect you with God’s
strength when you are struggling. At times we can feel overwhelmed and
depressed. It can keep us from allowing God to do His work in us and cause us
to miss out on His plan for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sheila
offers encouragement through her writing and inclusion of scripture to those
who are searching for strength. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Get Out of That Pit by Beth Moore is described as a “stirring
message of the sheer hope, utter deliverance and complete and glorious freedom
of God.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s “straight talk about God’s
deliverance” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We all from time to time get into that pit whether it is by
our own doing or because of circumstances around us, but we don’t have to stay
there. The author shows us scriptures and personal experiences to lead and
direct us. Ultimately, the choice is ours and we have to make the choice to get
out of that pit. We just have to let God lead us out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Get Out of That Pit also includes scripture prayers to pray
at the end of the book and also a section broken down by chapter that includes
questions to help you reflect on each chapter.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Master’s Mind by Lance Hahn asks “Why are so many of us
insecure, depressed, and confused?” This is not the condition God has in mind
for us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many times we let our minds control us in ways that we
really shouldn’t. Lance Hahn a pastor addresses this. He reiterates how God
wants us to be much more and that we need to take control of our minds and have
a more Christ like mind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our minds need to be renewed. The author reminds us this and
gives us biblical views on how to have a better mindset.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This book helps us to understand how God intends us to live.
At the end of the book there is a section called Getting Down to Business. The author
shares 6 steps to gain “mental toughness and a victor mentaility”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you need to renew your thoughts and get back on the right
track, and let’s be honest most of us do, this book may help get you going on
the right path.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I received this book at no charge for an honest review from

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ordering your Private World by Gordon MacDonald is a newly
revised work to “equip a new generation to live life from the inside out,
cultivating the inner victory necessary for public effectiveness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I know in my world everything is hectic and very, very busy.
We rarely take time to enjoy our lives, most days we struggle just to put one
foot in front of the other and push our way through our responsibilities. We
rarely take time to reflect on our inner self and our spiritual well
being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life happens and we miss so much.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The author takes the time to show us the importance of
evaluating our lives. Teaching us to slow down and reflect on our inner self, teaching
us the importance of taking care of our spiritual well being.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He hit my family hard with this book. He
could be writing about us easily. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
thing he said that stuck out to me we can start by listening. I find it so hard
to listen because I am forever more thinking of what I need to say or do next. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s time to slow down, do some self evaluating, and a lot
of praying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There has been a study guide
to help this journey included in the back of this book. I believe most all of
us need to stop and reevaluate what is truly important.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kristen Kish Cooking: Recipes and Techniques cookbook is a
gorgeous cookbook. It has beautiful photography throughout. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It begins with a quite long introduction
giving you some insight of her life. Then it proceeds to Techniques and terms.
She does a very good job describing various techniques including making
meringue, poaching, smoking, searing etc.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Recipes include Snacks, Beginnings, From the Sea, Pasta and
Grains, Meat, and Sweets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to
admit I’m not extremely familiar with these recipes but the ingredients are
easy to find and the recipes are very easy to follow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I haven’t personally fixed anything yet and I’m
not real sure this will be a cookbook that I will keep in my collections.
Although it is very beautiful it probably isn’t the cuisine my family would
eat. There is a recipe for octopus and my family would probably kill over if I
served this to them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I believe this cookbook would be great for the true foodies
out there which my family and I are not we prefer simple southern food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That being said I can’t say anything negative
about this cookbook. It is very nice quality, full of great information and
recipes, and overall beautifully done.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I received this book from bloggingforbooks.com in exchange

<div class="dropcontent">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Topics that are included range from things such as bullying,
friends, dating, social media, having god-like traits, and God’s love for us.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Sacred Slow: A Holy Departure from Fast Faith by Alicia
Britt Chole is “formatted as fifty-two experiences in unhurried honesty with
God.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reading through this book I
realized that we indeed do live in a hurried world or at least I do.</span></div>
<div class="dropcontent">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I believe this book is designed to slow us down and let God’s
love overflow on us. It could be used individually or even as a small group
study. I believe it could be most effectively used by literally slowing down
and taking time to ponder and do each exercise included. I think take each
chapter one week at a time although you could go quicker if you desire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="dropcontent">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For purposes of reviewing I went through it quickly ( so not
the intent) but it will be much more advantageous to go back through it and
slow down. If you are looking for something for a small group or just something
to help you slow down and cherish God’s word pick this book up and give it a
try.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A Record of My Vinyl is a diary of sorts to keep track of
your vinyl record collection. I have to say it isn’t exactly what I was
expecting but it is nice nonetheless. The cover is quite clever; it looks like a
vinyl record wrapped around a book. It is shiny and textured. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Inside is page after page of spaces to log your collection. It
allows you to put the vinyl’s name, artist, label, country, catalog no., year,
and grade. It also has a space for notes for each record. There are a couple of
pages at the end that gives tips on caring for and collecting vinyl. Also,
included is a wish list of sorts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is a cute little novelty item for collectors. I got
this for my daughter who collects but I’m not sure how much she will actually
use it. She uses an app on her phone to keep track of what she has so it is
with her always. The book I would think is good if you want a tracking system
at home but I think it would be cumbersome to carry with you on shopping trips.
My daughter likes it and thought it to be a nice concept and well done, but
again she prefers her phone app for portability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was kind of hoping that it could be used
just as a normal journal but I don’t think that will be possible.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I received this book from bloggingforbooks.com in exchange

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Indescribable: 100 Devotions about God and Science is a
devotion book by Louie Giglio. I love the messages that Louie Giglio gives so I
was excited to receive this devotional book that I plan on using with my son.
The book is a very nice quality book with beautiful illustrations by Nicola
Anderson. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The book uses a variety of
different bible versions to quote the scripture throughout but the most widely
used is the International Children’s Bible.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some things I really like about this book is that it is
written in a way that will be able to be understood by small children and it
incorporates science into the Word. There is a prayer at the end of each
devotion to help teach children to pray. Each devotion has a “be amazed”
section that includes some fact that relates to the devotion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, in the beginning of the book Mr. Giglio
has broken down each devotion into 4 different areas of study: Space, Earth,
Animals, and People that way if you want to do a devotion on a specific subject
you can easily find it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There is only one thing I really was disappointed about. The
description on the back of the book says there are hands on activities and so
far I haven’t seen or found any activities. I was hoping to find some
experiments or maybe some kind of art projects, something but there aren’t any
in there unless I have missed them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
feel I can find activities to go along with each one pretty easily but it would’ve
been nice to have them included as mentioned in the description.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I plan on using the devotional as a bible study and a
science jump off point . I really like this book and if you are looking to
incorporate bible and science with your child I think you would enjoy it also.
It would be perfect for the younger children.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Any opportunity I get to check out Bryan Peterson’s
photography books I jump on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
absolutely love every book I have by him and Understanding Color in Photography
is no exception.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">My photography goal in life is to capture the image in my
camera without having to go through the editing process later. I have not
mastered this skill as much as I want to. When I picked up this book I noticed
one thing Mr. Peterson said. He echoed the fact that he wants to spend more
time photographing and not editing. He wants to capture the image correctly in
camera. Of course he is capable of this. </span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">In his books he breaks things down in easy to understand
terms. The book is filled with beautiful photography and examples of the
concepts he is writing about. He writes in a way that anyone can understand the
concepts. In this book he explains how different colors can affect the mood of
the photographs you are taking whether you are photographing blue tones, orange
tones, red tones etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also gives
wonderful ideas on how to get proper settings for different settings. How to
achieve the perfect skin tones, perfect exposures, capture movement
effectively, how to balance your pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He fills his books with a lot of information.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I highly, highly recommend any of Bryan Peterson’s books if
you are looking to improve your photography!!!They are perfect for the beginner,
novice and experienced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I received this

</div>
<div align="right">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">KJV Know the Word Study Bible offers 3 different ways to
study the bible: Book by book, verse by verse or topic by topic. I really like
the layout of this bible. I do wish there was a guide to help understand how to
use this bible affectively. But I believe after looking through it and
reviewing it I figured out how to navigate through.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Each book starts with a summary of the book and a “How to
study” each book. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are sections
throughout each book that helps to study the book as a whole. At the bottom of
each page there are notes on the verses, but not all verses have this note and
the scripture itself doesn’t seem to be marked to allow you to know there is a
note to go along with the verse. There is ample study material all through the
bible. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One area that I’m not sure I would qualify this bible as a
topic by topic study bible because of a couple of reasons. First there is a
list of topics at the very beginning of the bible. There are only 21 topics
listed. I’m not sure that is adequate to study topic by topic. Each topic has a
“notes” section in the book that helps study the specific topic. I just feel
like there should be more meat to the topics and more topics to make this
qualify for a topic by topic study bible. That being said it does seem to cover
each topic with at least 5 supporting notes and scripture. And the topics
covered are relevant and popular topics to study.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This bible doesn’t have any illustrations through it but
does have a map section in the back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are a few weights and measurement tables and a concordance.
Overall, I will say this is a very nice study bible and gives a lot of good
study opportunities. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would recommend
it as a study bible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are a couple
of places that there could be improvement but nothing that would deter me from
recommending it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

James Study Bible: Full Color Edition is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! I have the
large Print version which is much easier to read. There are full color
illustrations throughout the entire bible. I believe this is my new favorite
bible in my collection </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is a little larger than most bibles because of the larger
print and the many illustrations included. The Thomas Nelson study bibles are
among my favorite study bibles. They are extremely easy to follow and use and
this one is no exception. This one is bound to lay flat when open. I love this
feature, no worries of the pages flipping or closing. Christ’s words are in
red. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I just can’t say enough about this bible. It is one of the
most complete study bibles I have come across. It has several index sections in
the back including an index to Christ and the gospels, and index to Paul’s
letters, there is a concordance. There is just so much meat to this bible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello Stars by Alena Pitts is a faithgirlz book geared to
preteen girls. It focuses on God’s plan in Lena’s life basing it on the
scripture in Jeremiah. God knows the plans He has for us. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The book revolves around Lena who auditions for a movie with
the intentions of meeting the star. She begins doubting herself and her ability
as well as doubting God’s will in her life. She has choices to make and
obstacles to face and she just isn’t sure she’s doing the right thing. With the
support of her family and friends she faces the challenges ahead and follows God’s
will in her life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is an absolutely adorable book for a preteen girl. I’m
an adult and loved it. It’s a quick, light hearted read with a very good
message. If you are looking for a book that is full of values and just good
reading that is wholesome for girls to read make sure this one is on your to
read list.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I received this book from Handlebar Publishing at no charge
in exchange for an honest review.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A beautiful art instruction book, Colored Pencil Painting
Portraits by Alyona Nickelsen is for those who want to learn to use colored
pencils as their media. The book is full of information and probably geared
toward a more experienced artist. I’m not sure it would be for a beginner in
the art world. It would be a beautiful addition to a collection for
instruction.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The book begins by explaining different media to use with
colored pencils and also gives comparisons of various pencils. It does seem to
lean toward Prismacolor Premier pencils, which at this time are my personal
favorite. It then goes into blending and mixing colors. You will need a working
knowledge of drawing in order to gain from this book unless maybe you just want
to up your skill level in the all popular adult coloring book world. It gives
step by step examples on achieving specific effects.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The book is full of beautiful works by different artists. It
is so hard to tell pencil from actual photography in some examples. The pages
are printed on a very nice quality paper . The cover damages very easily
though. Mine already has the coating peeling off and I am very careful with
books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Overall, this is a beautifully
done book and it will remain in my collection. I would recommend this for an
intermediate or advanced artist. But a beginner could very well benefit from it
also but it wouldn’t be my go to book for a beginner.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible with large print is
wonderful. It is a journaling and coloring bible combined. The slightly larger
print is easy to read especially for aging eyes like mine. There are hundreds
of pages that have line are and coloring pictures. The paper is slightly
thicker than a regular bible to make it easier to color with less bleed
through. There is plenty of room for your own personal journaling to use your
own creativity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have the cloth covered hard back version. It is gorgeous
but it is very heavy to carry. The font is 10 point so I’m not sure I would
consider it large print but it is larger than most normal bibles. There are no
reference notes or study notes built in. It is a very basic bible other than
the addition of coloring and journaling pages. The pages are still pretty thin
so I would think the best media for this bible is going to be pencil and I’m
pretty sure if you have a heavy hand you will be able to see through to the
next page. ‘</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you like coloring bible this one is a nice one. There are
a few full pages to color but the majority of it is margin sized coloring and
mostly text art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wouldn’t say this is
my favorite coloring bible that I have but it is a very nice addition to my
collection and would make a nice gift.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Beautiful Word Creative Coloring & Hand Lettering
adult coloring book by Coloring Faith is a very nice book. It is full of
inspirational quote, scripture, and pages to teach you hand lettering. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The pages are double sided. One side is normally some type
of picture such as mandalas, wallpaper (covering the entire page) flowers,
birds, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most pages are full page
images with a lot of opportunities to color. The facing page has quotes or
scriptures </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The paper is a smooth, thick paper and should take most
media well. The pages are also perforated if you prefer to remove to color or
frame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The images are mostly drawn with
thick, dark lines which may be a turn off for some people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lettering pages are similar to grayscale.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you are looking for an inspirational/Christian coloring
book this one is really nice and enjoyable to color. I received this book at no
