Still Picking up the Pennies

  After a rough mission in Rome involving the discovery of a devastating bioweapon, Company spy Ben Calix returns to Paris to find his perfectly ordered world has collapsed. A sniper attack. An ambush. A call for help that brings French SWAT forces down on his head. Ben is out. This is a severance--reserved for incompetents and traitors. Searching for answers and anticipating a coming attack, Ben and a woman swept up in his misfortunes must travel across Europe to find the sniper who tried to kill him, the medic who saved his life, the schoolmaster who trained him, and an upstart hacker from his former team. More than that, Ben must come to grips with his own insignificance as the Company's plan to stop Leviathan from unleashing the bioweapon at any cost moves forward without him--and he struggles against the infection that is swiftly claiming territory within his own body.

Product Description A 365-day devotional featuring the actual spoken words of Jesus as presented in the Bible. Too many times the impact and grandness of the actual words Jesus spoke, as recorded in the Bible, are lost in the telling of the story.

Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic is a very inspirational and enthusiastic book. It has helped me see that no mater what life brings me today, God has a plan for my life. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

God Gave Us So Much is a wonderful book. As I read it with my two young sons, so many of their own questions where answered. This is a collection of three different stories: God Gave Us the World, God Gave Us Love, and God Gave Us Heaven. My favorite character is Little Cub, she asks questions that a lot of children would ask. The grown ups in her life do a great job us answering and explaining things on a child's level. I know I will read this book over and over to my two boys. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

The Bridge of Peace is the first book I have really enjoyed and could not put down in a long time! What a wonderful love story! I was so moved by the entire book. I am not Amish or know too much about the Amish ways of life, and that does not matter. If you enjoy good people winning in the end this book is for you! My favorite character was Lena, even with a birth mark on her face; she learned people that love her can see past her outside appearance. I would recommend this book to my pals.

This book contains two stories about two Janes. The first story of Jane is during modern time, she manages an antique shop and finds a ring. The second Lady Jane a historical figure who's story is told through the voice of her seamstress Lucy Day. The stories both relate to one another in the way that they seem to have been forced down certain paths in life, but later learn they are both responsible in similar ways for making their circumstances what they are. They both feel a certain new found freedom and satisfaction in this knowledge. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. Bloggingforbooks.org

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. The Dragon and the Turtle I read this book to my two young sons, and we all really enjoyed the book. The story is about finding a new friend and helping him find his way home. The two main characters are very likable. Padraig is a dragon, who was hunting bugs. Roger is a turtle that has lost his way. The two become quick friends but also discover they have differences. I really like the fact that there is a Bible verse at the end of the book. My boys and I enjoyed talking about they story using some of the suggested topics. I have to add the illustrations are just remarkable.
