The Only Woman In The Room By Marie Benedict

Who loves a signed book?! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

I got the pleasure of meeting @authormariebenedict at a literacy event earlier this year 📚 and she is just as amazing in person! I love how she takes women in history and writes fantastic stories about their lives. This is my second book by Marie and it did not disappoint!

You may have heard of actress Hedy Lamar, but did you know she invented one of today’s most used communications technology? Read this riveting account of her life, marriages, and intellect against the backdrop of World War II.

I loved this book and the way the author portrays a woman traditionally known only for her beauty. I won’t give away too much of the book, but my favorite part was her daring escape from her first husband. I highly recommend The Only Woman In The Room for historical fiction, women’s empowerment, World War II, or Old Hollywood readers 🌟 •

"This Thing Of Ours" Book Review

When I saw "This Thing Of Ours: How Faith Saved My Mafia Marriage" by Cammy Franzese offered by Book Sneeze, I just had to get it. I know very little about the Mafia and I thought it was incredibly interesting that a woman married to a mobster would have written a book, talking about faith of all things. "This Thing Of Ours" goes through the tumultuous years of the Franzese marriage. It tells about their meeting, engagement, marriage, jail sentences, children, and how Cammy learns and grows with each stage. I was genuinely surprised at how little she knew of her husband's involvement in the Mob, but I really enjoyed reading this book. Cammy does a great job of describing different events in her life and weaving her belief in the Lord through it all. This is book is not to read looking for perfection. She is a real person with real struggles and is clear from the start that she is not without sin. I think if you keep that in mind as you are reading, it isn't ...

Prayers for Prodigals

Parenting is often a hard and lonely road we walk. Having a prodigal child can make it even more isolated. Prayers for Prodigals is a wonderful resource for when you are feeling despair on your parenting journey. Each day is a verse to meditate on and a heartfelt prayer filled with scripture to uplifted encourage, and renew your weary soul. I especially liked having prayers when it felt like my own prayers had run dry. To have pre written prayers for your child can be such an encouragement when you are feeling lost and hopeless. This devotional will surely remind you of the power of prayer and the power of God to work in your life and your child’s. #PrayersforProdigalsUpdatedandExpanded #NetGalley

No Greater Love by Levi Benkert

I was able to review "No Greater Love" by Levi Benkert and it did not disappoint! I love memoirs and "No Greater Love" was an amazing story of one family's decision to follow God's calling on their lives. It's not your typical Christian memoir because Benkert doesn't sugar coat his life, family, or decisions. "No Greater Love" details the crazy story of Levi Benkert's decision to leave California for Ethiopia. Through an astounding series of events, he leaves for the African country in order to help organize a rescue of children destined to die due to tribal superstition, known as "mingi." When he arrives, he realizes that this is where he is supposed to be and calls his wife to ask about the possibility of moving their family of three young children there for good. I won't ruin the rest of the story because some parts of it are just incredible, but it is a must read for anyone with a heart for African orphans. I really ap...
