Conversations with God for Women~ Marcia Ford

                                                     Such a Beautiful Cover...don't you think

 If you could ask God anything what would it be? Many ask for help, salvation, hope and other things.  How about the questions that women want to ask God besides the why me...this books addresses it.

 It's an easy read and puts what God wants from us women in clear understanding. Conversations with God address women in the ministry and how to call on God and Jesus when society and life try to sway or even overwhelm us in our daily lives.

Another great feature about the book is that it's also study guide for women. When you read the questions and the answers that God, Jesus and other women of the bible answer with there are numbers (notes) to correspond with different books of the bible to help one have a better sense of the answers that everyone is giving you.

While reading the book...mainly at night I must say that I do feel that God is with me reading the book and helping me to better understand where he's leading me in his plan, Not mine. I love how the book conveys in very answer that God loves us and wants what is best even if don't see the big picture and how this love is expressed in the bible.

I would recommend this book to anyone woman that wants a better relationship with God and what his plans are for women even if there isn't enough focus on us in the bible God has his focus on us and loves us no matter what. God's love is like the love we have with our children; unconditional. This book reiterates this in every answer that given to the questions.

Home Is Beyond the Moutains ~ Celia Barker Lottridge

Another great historical fiction novel, and this one is geared to young readers....haha didn't find out till the very end of the book. Go figure.

This is about the Armenians and Assyrians during WWI and how they were forced to to flee from their homes and lives as they knew it to head to where the British forces were for help. The only means of transportation during that time was walking or on the back of a mule.

 Many people didn't make it during the walk and thousand were buried along the walking path. Many families were now what we called broken and the children were orphans and have been shuffled from one orphanage to another. This book explains how these children survived and built their own families to get back home with the help from Susan Shedd.

You learn what true survival is and what the real meaning of family means when you don't really have one. This book will keep you wanting to know more and it will be hard to put down. This book too is based on real people and real events such as is all historical fiction, but the twist on this is, it's based on a true story from the author's life. Susan Shedd was her aunt.

Paranomal State~ Ryan Buell



I must say I love true ghost stories and all that paranormal stuff that others balk at or say isn't true they rigged it to do that. I must say it's an interesting look at how Paranormal State came to be why A&E got involved in the whole process of making it a hit TV show.

 Ryan takes you behind the scenes during the first season of PS and PRS (Paranormal Research Society and their humble beginning to the supernatural hit that it is. PRS is made up of students that had formed a college supernatural club of sorts. The interviewed and helped people that were distressed by the unknown.

When you the read book you can see how PRS grew and changed how they did their research about the location of the "haunting", interviews & camera set ups during dead time (3am). It took a long time to for PRS to know what they ultimately wanted to do with their club/show. Truth, Honor and respecting the dead is the founding motto for PRS.

I must say that when you read this book your understanding of the show will be different. Ryan explains how he wants to help the families involved and have them understand he knows what it's like to see things and not be believed. He and PRS are here to help make spirits move on or more.

Ryan also talks in great depth about his uncertainty of psychics and how people can "rip off" families that do need help with their paranormal situation. It's a good read especially if you like the show Paranormal state.
