A Conversation with God - Book Review

Several months ago (yes, months), my friends at Booksneeze sent my a copy of A Conversation with God by Alton Gansky for me to review.  To say I struggled to get through this book would be an understatement.  I love the concept of this book, a series of challenging questions that many people have about God, The Bible, Heaven and just life in general.  Each question is answered from the point of view of God, Jesus, and other prominent Biblical figures such as David, John, and Stephen.  Like I said, the concept is fabulous, but the book itself was quite overwhelming.  I think it is very beneficial on a question by question basis and would make an excellent reference book, but to read it through cover to cover was difficult for me.  I would recommend this book for pastors, church leaders, and Christian counselors.  It would also make a great gift book for new believers, as it covers several of the most basic questions new believers ask.  But, if you are looking for a little light reading, this is probably not the best choice.  Here is a link to the book if you are interested in reading more about it:

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...

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,

Product Review: Wal-Act

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have allergies.  Miserable allergies that make my eyes water and itch and make my nose run continually.  Over the years I have tried a variety of name brand medications to ease my symptoms, some very expensive.  My new favorite, however, is not a name brand and you can find it at your local Walgreens.  It is a store brand antihistamine called Wal-Act. It was several dollars cheaper than its name brand counterpart, and I highly recommend it to anyone who suffers from nasal allergies or a head cold.  It was both fast and effective, I felt relief within about 30 minutes.

This was my first experience with Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products, but I will continue to stick with these products for several reasons.  First, they are a great value.  With the rising costs of health care, being able to save a few dollars on our over the counter medications is a big plus.  Second, they are all Walgreens pharmacist recommended.  Third, most contain the same active ingredients as the name brand versions.  I particularly like they have not changed their active ingredients in order to keep their products on the shelves.  I have no qualms with going to the counter for a product that is effective.  Finally, all Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.  To find out more about these products please click on this link: Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products

There are several bloggers giving away Walgreens giftcards! Check it out here: giveaways

So, give the Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products a try.  I hope you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was.  Thanks for reading!
