Women of Faith

So, I have already mentioned that my friends at Booksneeze are sending me to Women of Faith this fall!  Have I mentioned that I am super excited?!  I think (and I emphasize think) that I am going to the one in Dallas at the end of August.  When I registered, I was torn between Dallas and Denver, being about equal distance from them both, and I am unsure as to which one I finally chose.  I've slept since then, what can I say?  Anyway, now it is just a waiting game to see where I am going when my registration arrives.  I am hoping for Dallas, because I have just a few friends there...ok, lots of friends there and I miss them terribly! And, if it turns out to be Denver, I will be just as excited, because 1) I will not miss my niece's baby shower, 2) I have never been to Denver, and 3) I still get to go to Women of Faith!  Anyway, if you have never heard of Women of Faith, here is a preview of what I will get to experience:

I understand it is an awesome experience, and one every woman should have at least once in her life. I am so grateful to the kind people at Booksneeze for giving me this opportunity and cannot wait to tell you all about it! What a blessing this will be! I know God has awesome things in store...

Thanks for Reading,

Book Review: Attack at the Arena

For my latest book choice, I thought I'd try something a little different.  I chose a children's book and read it with my five-year-old son.  The book was Attack at the Arena by Marianne Hering and Paul McCusker.

This is a chapter book for ages 7 and up and is the second in The Imagination Station series.  It tells the story of cousins Patrick and Beth and their adventure in ancient Rome.  The authors incorporate history and a true historical figure (Telemachus) into the story.  It was a little advanced for my five-year-old.  Even though he didn't always understand what was happening in the the story, he was always excited to hear what happened next.  The book has lots of action and adventure and is a great read for children.  I love that it introduces the historical fiction genre to such a young age group.  I definitely plan to continue the series with my children when they are a little older.

Thanks for Reading,
