The Final Summit by Andy Andrews

David is sent to the final summit it answer a one question to save humanity. At the summit are all the travelers and the archangel Gabriel. David is allowed five travelers to help assist him in finding the answer, but he only has five tries at getting it right.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, it was both exciting and challenging. The author kept the story very interesting by including taking some of his characters from history, and revealing the story behind them. It was a very perceptive book, asking questions that make you stop and think and really consider what the characters are talking about. I would recommend this book to someone who loves reading history incorporated into the overall message, or those who enjoy a great mind challenge.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by BookSneeze.

This book was very entertaining. I really enjoy reading romances set back in history with many twists and turns. The story line was really good, but I kept waiting for the two main characters to discover their love for each other. I was captured between the pages and hope to read the other books in the series.

With the cops hot on their trail, she knows she must find her sister before she is locked away in prison. Saskia witnesses ghosts and a plot to kill her guardian, Muzz Elliott, and must do whatever it takes to save her and herself.

This book was a very good read. I enjoyed all the twists and turns that the book takes. There is murder, mystery, and supernatural all wrapped up into one. I enjoyed the way the book was set up, it was different and it made the book that much more interesting. I hope to be able to read the other books in the series soon, and find out what will happen to these three characters along the way. I would recommend this book to Harry Potter fans and anyone who enjoys a good mystery.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review from Tyndale House.

Tithing by Douglas Leblanc

Tithing is an ancient practice that is viewed in many ways by many Christians. This book interviews many Christians and their views on tithing. Whether they tithe their money, assets, or time. Many of the people interviewed describe how they find God's grace through this process, and how they believe in giving as much as possible.

I found this book very challenging. I have always known about giving the ten percent but to read about people who give much more than just ten percent and still have no worries astounds me. People giving their financial problems over to God and then giving more and more, while still being blessed is very hard to understand. This book was very insightful and really made me think about were my own money goes, and how I can give more. If you are looking for an in depth challenge or a clearer view on what tithing is, this book has great examples. You will find yourself asking what more can I do, or can I learn to live with the basics instead of name brands?

This book is mystery and suspense all in one. You follow the life of a young women who sacrificed to help her brother. This book was a nice read and i enjoyed reading about all her misadventures.
