Veggie Tales DVD - Pistachio: The Little Boy That Woodn't Review

Veggie Tales DVD - Pistachio: The Little Boy That Woodn't Review


If you are a fan of Veggie Tales, this episode will not let you down. If you are new to Veggie Tales let me tell you, you are in for a treat. So grab your family and friends, some popcorn and a comfortable spot on the couch and enjoy.


As expected the animation is superb. The stick in your head songs are a pure delight. In this adventure you along with Pistachio (inspired by Pinocchio) learns the story and application of the Bible parable of the lost sheep. We see the importance of the one and also the importance of telling the truth.

Hope you enjoy the story of Pistachio as my as me and my friends did. I would give Pistachio 5/5 stars!

The Vertical Self by Mark Sayers - Review


The Vertical Self Review


I am surprised how confident in certain areas I have become lately. The book reminds us to look for our true self, our true character. Hanging personal artwork in my house . Confidently going in the direction of my dreams mean while focusing on our relationship with God. The book reminds and challenges us to look to God to find ourselves. This book is a well written challenge to live your life in the image of Christ that you were to created for.


This is one of those books I look forward to reading again next time with a group who will encourage and challenge me. The discussion questions at the back of the book lend well for that purpose.

Beguiled by Deeanne Gist, J. Mark Bertrand) (Mystery Fiction) Review


Having never been to Charlestown, the authors effectively set the back drop of the scene as well as explain the quirks of southern charm.

I loved this book. It's mystery, suspense and romanticism combined proved to be a great mix to get and keep my attention. As the characters are introduced, the story, the mystery draws you in. I found it difficult to put this book down.

Having not read a fictional romantic suspense novel in a long time this book proved to be a Great entry into that category.

Swinging on a Star by Janice Thompson Review


Swinging on a Star by Janice Thompson Review

This is book two in "The Weddings by Bella" series. Although I did not read the first book in the series, "Fools Rush In," it will be my next book purchase. Being the second book in a series, it is not necessary to have read the first book in order to enjoy and understand this book. Swinging on a star offers a glimpse into an unique wedding planners life as well as her romantic life.

I found this book humourous, insightful, and it's focus on relationships reminded me to stop recognize what God is trying to demonstrate to me in my own life through events and people around me. This book made me wish I was positioned to plan my wedding.

So grab a copy of this book, a group of your closest frends and a copy of the discussion questions from the publisher's website for an instant bookclub where you will learn as much about yourself as you will of those around you.

I would definately recommend this book to anyone looking for a light- hearted romance book.
