Reviews by Theresa Board
All Pro Dad
On 5/29 Theresa Board wrote: In case any of you are concerned, yes, I realize that I am not, in fact, a dad. However, I have found that most books geared to dads easily apply to moms, and vice versa (except for the breast feeding sections in the mom books, of course). I have had a difficult time recently choosing books to read, ... All Pro Dad
Great Day Every Day
On 5/11 Theresa Board wrote: I have started feeling like the great complainer when it comes to reviewing books. You'll get some of that in this one too. However, I'll direct most of the criticism to the title. First of all, it reminds me of this little ditty that a co-worker used to sing at camp about picking up trash..."All ... Great Day Every Day
Our Favorite Sins
On 3/5 Theresa Board wrote: I honestly don't have a lot to say about this book. Was it good? I guess so. Would I recommend it to others? Maybe. It didn't have anything about it to make me think, Ooh, I have got to give this to ____________. But I could see the value of what the author said. He categorized sins into different areas, ... Our Favorite Sins
Then Sings My Soul Book 3
On 1/20 Theresa Board wrote: Of all the book reviews I have done so far, this may be the hardest to get a handle on. Did I like the book? Yes. Did I dislike the book? Yes. I honestly started to feel like I was reading a few different books at the same time, which is one of the reasons I disliked it: it is disjointed. I couldn't ... Then Sings My Soul
Nearing Home
On 12/23 Theresa Board wrote: It could be that I read this book during the Christmas season, when it is easier to be nostalgic or sentimental. However, I really liked it. It was, like most of what I have sensed or heard from Billy Graham, simple, honest, and accessible to a wide range of people. Even though it may seem to be ... Nearing Home
Heroes and Villains of the Bible
On 12/3 Theresa Board wrote: I chose this book because I wasn't sure I would like it. How's that for an odd reason? I know, typically, people choose books to read because they think they will like them, and that is usually the case for me, but not this time. I was intrigued with the whole concept of heroes and villains as they ... Heroes and Villains of the Bible
One Call Away
On 9/30 Theresa Board wrote: I have put this review off, I think because I feel somewhat guilty. When I don't really like a fiction book all that much, then I can distance myself more. But when it is a non-fiction, written by someone who is a believer and someone I think I should like? It's harder. So, here is the deal. I ... One Call Away
Daddy Dates
On 5/5 Theresa Board wrote: I realize I am not a father (in case you think I have completely lost it). However, I was interested in this book, billed as a road map for any dad to raise a strong and confident daughter. Who wouldn't want that, right? So, I decided to preview it for Perry in case he wanted to read it. It is written ... daddy dates
Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day
On 4/18 Theresa Board wrote: Okay, so if you pay attention to my blog (or actually, just know me at all), you know that one of my very favorite things to do is read. There are books that to me are amazing and stand out as old friends. There are some that are challenging, but at the end I am glad I have put in the energy. There are ... Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day
Max On Life
On 4/18 Theresa Board wrote: I have no doubt that this book will sell very well, because there are legions of Max Lucado fans the world over. I have read some of his previous books, and there are some I really like, and some I think are just okay. His most current one, Max on Life, for me, falls into the latter category.The premise ... Max on Life
REGGIE
On 3/25 Theresa Board wrote: Need a reminder that your life is not an accident? Need a reminder that it is important to show love to people in our lives who are important? Need a pick-me-up? Enter Reggie Dabbs, who apparently is a popular speaker for teens and students. This book is well-organized into 10 chapters. Each of ... Reggie by Reggie Dabbs with John Driver
Fasting
On 2/14 Theresa Board wrote: While studying a section of Acts recently when Barnabus and Paul were sent out with prayer and fasting, I became interested in the concept of fasting. In the most basic concept of fasting, we all know (or think we know) what it is, right? Simply choosing not to eat and possibly, drink. Because I have ... Fasting by Scot McNight
The Beginning Reader's Bible
On 1/28 Theresa Board wrote: I have been aware for awhile of a missing piece in our lives right now...the transition piece from Bible stories to reading the Bible and teaching the kids to make Bible study and individual prayer time part of their own lives. I think the Beginning Reader's Bible is a good fit for that transition. ... The Beginning Reader's Bible
Voices of the Faithful
On 1/17 Theresa Board wrote: Voices of the Faithful is a compilation of stories written by Christians serving around the world. The book is set up for use as a daily devotional. Each month has a specific theme, and the stories all relate to that theme. Each day starts with a short section of scripture, which applies to the story ... Voices of the Faithful,compiled by Kim P Davis with Beth Moore
On This Day in Christian History
On 11/28 Theresa Board wrote: I received this book from Thomas Nelson Publishing to review. Ordinarily, I lean toward fiction or very specific non-fiction books. However, I was hoping that this book would help me learn a bit more about individuals who have made an impact throughout Christianity. The book is set up with a reading ...
