Save the Date
On 2/11 Denise Greenacre wrote: “Wedding” and “Save the Date” are buzz words around my house lately so I thought this might be a fun book to review. Because of all the twists and turns I really was just anxious to see if Lucy really married Alex. Thankfully, there was some mystery and intrigue along with real “life and death” ... It's Contemporary, for Sure!
Anne Bradstreet
On 10/16 Denise Greenacre wrote: Anne Bradstreet has impacted my life! I’ve read many biographies of many great people, but I identified with Anne, the Puritan more than any other. The country she helped create is mine and her God is mine as well! It was quite a shock to realize that I would have chosen to be a Puritan! They were ... Review of Anne Bradstreet by D. B. Kellogg

Fearless
On 9/9 Denise Greenacre wrote: Max Lucado’s latest book, Fearless was released today. Certainly it is a timely topic as each day in 2009 seems to give us more to be fearful about and fewer reasons to be fearless! I usually have a book with me so I won’t be caught having to wait with nothing to do, consequently I often read ... Fearless by Max Lucado
The American Patriot's Bible
On 7/22 Denise Greenacre wrote: I wish we had had the American Patriot’s Bible to use as a devotional tool when our children were growing up. As Americans our children should know that our founding fathers believed, “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.” That quote attributed to George Washington ... Review of the American Patriot's Bible NKJV
The Read & Share DVD Bible - Volume 1
On 5/7 Denise Greenacre wrote: Young children don’t sit for long, but they usually can sit for the 3 minute animated bible stories on this DVD. I loved the music that didn’t dominate the story, but warmly set the backdrop for a Bible time atmosphere. Children need to know that biblical creation was in a different time and ... Read and Share DVD Bible By Gwen Ellis
The Noticer

The Noticer is one of those books you would like to give all your friends and those who aren’t because it gives hope. The ... The Noticer by Andy Andrews
Rachel's Tears
On 3/16 Denise Greenacre wrote: How did Rachel Scott know she was going to die on April 20, 1999? There is no way she could have predicted her tragic death, but the evidence left in her journals tells us somehow, she knew. In one of many similar entries she says, “This will be my last year Lord. I have gotten what I can. Thank ... "Rachel's Tears" by Beth Nimmo and Darrell Scott
Same Kind of Different As Me
On 2/18 Denise Greenacre wrote: I don’t remember the last time I read a book, that grabbed my attention from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until I finished it several hours later at 2:30 in the morning. Thomas Nelson Publishers sent the book for review as an email attachment so I sat for those hours at my computer spellbound ... Book Review: Same Kind of Different As Me
Kiss
On 2/18 Denise Greenacre wrote: This is Dekker’s best mystery yet, in my opinion of course! Webs of deceit seemed to have no end in this thriller. Shauna was a victim from the moment of her mother’s untimely death shortly following the birth of Rudy. She was victimized by the hands of her stepmother, her father, the driver who ... Book Review for "Kiss" by Ted Dekker & Erin Healy
House of Dark Shadows
On 1/13 Denise Greenacre wrote: The drama created in House of Dark Shadows, a spine-tingling young adult thriller, is everyone’s worst nightmare. I couldn’t put it down and I’m not a “young” adult. It kind of hits home if you’ve ever moved to a new house, a new school and /or job, in a new town thinking that the excitement ... House of Dark Shadows
Moon Shines Down
On 1/12 Denise Greenacre wrote: A child can travel the world in The Moon Shines Down. Based on the New England sampler prayer, “God Bless the Moon and God Bless Me” the koala sees the moon and prays in a different part of the world on each page. On each vibrantly, colorfully illustrated page the same moon looks down on the Dutch ... Book Review: The Moon Shines Down
Billy
On 11/13 Denise Greenacre wrote: I was intrigued to read the book, Billy as I couldn’t imagine what the "untold story could be"--what more could be told about Billy Graham? After all, much has been written about the most renowned evangelist of our time. Billy is so well written, like a novel, rather than a typical biographical sketch, ...
