Outlive Your Life
On 1/7 Amanda Flint wrote: Okay, wow, where do I start? Again, regular readers of my blog know that I am not Christian. Usually that statement is followed by a bad review. But I really, really, really (did I mention really?) enjoyed this book! So bear with me, because this is going to be a fairly lengthy and detailed review. Let ... This is a must-read for any Christian or spiritual person!
The Butterfly Effect
On 1/4 Amanda Flint wrote: I'll admit, when I selected this book to review, I was expecting an actual novel to read, like a full-length story. So I was kind of surprised when this small, nearly pocket-sized baby of a book showed up in my mailbox! Yes, it is a very quick read; Amazon lists it as having 115 pages but each of those ... Beautiful Book.
The Sweet By and By
On 1/4 Amanda Flint wrote: When I received this book from Thomas Nelson publishers, I was pretty excited. Sara Evans is a very talented singer and obviously a name I recognise. I was looking forward to reading this book and hoping that it wasn't overly preachy. The book started out very slowly, almost agonizingly so. It was very ... Overly Sweet
Hermie: Who Is In Charge Anyway?
On 1/3 Amanda Flint wrote: It was awhile after I received this movie that it ended up popped in my DVD player. My 3-year-old son continuously bypassed it on the shelf for other favourites, such as Thomas, Veggie Tales and the Wiggles. We finally got around to watching it and I think he enjoyed it well enough. The characters are ... Hermie and Friends, start at the beginning
Read and Share: The Jesus Series, Life and Miracles
On 5/27 Amanda Flint wrote: Let me start by saying that I am much more open-minded when it comes to Christian film/television. I happen to be a huge fan of VeggieTales, and I have a two-year-old son who will devour any cartoon if I'd let him. Unfortunately, this DVD did not hold my son's attention very well (and he's totally impartial ... Lacking.
I Am Hutterite
On 5/11 Amanda Flint wrote: For those of you that have been following me and my reviews of books, you might be surprised to learn that I actually really enjoyed this book. I had never actually heard of the Hutterites before reading this book, but I found their culture to be very interesting. I immensely enjoyed the way that the ... A good read that draws you in.
Plan B
On 5/3 Amanda Flint wrote: As most of you may know by now, I am not a Christian. But I am an open-minded and fair person. One of the first things I liked about this book was that in the beginning, the author addresses non-Christians in a nice and nonjudgmental way. But unfortunately, that is one of the only real good things I ... This book needs a Plan B
Friendship for Grown-Ups
On 4/21 Amanda Flint wrote: I read this book in less than a day, at least, I read all of the book itself. I haven't gotten around to looking at the large chunk of various guides and appendices at the end of the book yet. At 178 pages, it's a relatively quick read. While I must say I did like this book overall, I feel that it had ... Uplifting, but chaotic flow.
What Difference Do It Make?
On 4/8 Amanda Flint wrote: I recently read the book, What Difference Do It Make?: Stories of Hope and Healing by Ron Hall, Denver Moore, and Lynn Vincent. I received a copy of this book from BookSneeze to review. I would like to start out by saying that even if you had not read the first book (which I did not), this book does ... Did you really need a book to tell you this?
Find Your Strongest Life
On 10/5 Amanda Flint wrote: Marcus Buckingham's Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently is an attempt to help women draw enough strength from life to feel fulfilled, loved, successful, and in control. It is an attempt to show women that they really can have it all, "the right kind of ... Yet another preachy self-help book.
