God with Us: A journey home review (Momentum Influencer Network)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links. 



I read God with Us, a journey home, by Jeremy Pierre, in exchange for honest review from the Momentum Influencer Network. I received a paperback copy. 

The book is also available in Kindle and Audible versions on Amazon. 


The book is a children's book, which teaches kids, Earth is not our home, Heaven is. The story is told from the perspective of two, unnamed, angels. The book chose not to give the angels names because the main character of the story--the book, and in real life, is Jesus. 

The book is written in a poem, like, narrative format. Each chapter focuses on a different bible story, from Genesis to Revelation. The chapters are quick reads, great for kids, who may not have the best attention spans, like my kids. 

Kalen loves books, with few words and a lot of pictures. He likes calling out things in the pictures. I can read a chapter and show him the pics before he goes back to Youtubing a kitchen skit. I can teach him about God, for those few moments.

You can purchase the book, using the link above. The book is prime-eligible.

Twin Tales: Alike and Different Book Review (iRead Book Tours)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links. 


I received Twin Tales, Alike and Different, in exchange for honest review from iRead Book Tours. The book was written by Brielle and Nadia Dupervi. 

My Review: 

First, the book has simple language and amazing illustrations. The book tells the story of Alexia and Denise, who are twin, African-American, girls. They love to play and they love their family, but they are not alike, they are different. They may share the same face, but they have different skills and abilities. 

As a special needs parent, I definitely understand. My kids are 20 and 10. They share five diagnoses, including severe autism, but they are so different. Each kid has their own skills and abilities. My oldest loves to eat; watch youtube; and play video games. My oldest doesn't like sour cream or corn chips, unless it is mixed into something else. He doesn't like bananas. He also doesn't eat most sweets, but he loves ice cream, sour gummies, and oreos. Brad definitely doesn't like the biscuit at Mcdonalds and Jack in the box. 

My youngest is severe autism but he is more mentally advanced, age wise. He was delayed in everything, but made significant progress over the years. When it comes to food, Kalen is more picky. He also doesn't like the biscuits at Mcdonalds and Jack in the box, but he loves chicken, fries, chips, and sweets. He loves ice cream, chocolates, some cookies. He also will play with blocks, cars, and his kitchen playset, while my oldest never really took to toys. My oldest does like simple toys like blocks and other similar stacking toys. 

You can purchase the book, in hardback or paperback, using the link above. The book is prime eligible. The book is also available on Kindle Unlimited. You can read more about Twin Tales below and check out other bloggers on the book tour. 

Thank you

Joel Ohman Other Bodies Book Review (FlyBy Blog Promotions)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon affiliate links.



I read Other Bodies, in exchange for honest review from FlyBy Blog Promotions. The book was written by Joel Ohman. The book is a dystopian, YA book, to help "change people's minds about abortion."

The book, starts out well. You see Hattie, walking through the streets, going through a personal crisis. The author is descriptive when describing the sky, voices heard, and the crazy, who tries to slow her down. I felt a lot of tension in that scene because you didn't know if he was going to attack her. I was hooked in that scene.


You can purchase the book, using the link above. The book is available in kindle and paperback format. The book is also available on iBooks and Barnes and Noble.

The Terry Treetop Collection Book Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.




I read The Terry Treetop Collection, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The book was written by Tali Carmi and illustrated by Mindy Liang. I received the e-books.

I have read and reviewed Terry Treetop books before. The books have great illustrations and easy-to-read text. The storylines are simple and easy to understand. I wanted the books to "read" to Kalen,

Kalen is one of those kids, who want you to read to him, but doesn't care for what the actual words. He loves the pictures and wants to identify things in the pictures. He flips the pages and repeats the same process. The beauty is, he is absorbing words, he may use later on. I have no clue how many words he knows.

Kalen loved the images in the book. He had flipped through most of the book on my kindle, before I started reading the book for myself. How did he know how to use my kindle, let alone flip through an e-book---the world may never know.

Unsinkable Faith Review (Litfuse)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.





I read Unsinkable Faith, in exchange for honest review from Litfuse. The book was written by Tracie Miles. The book is Christian-based.

The book is about having unsinkable faith, no matter what you are going through. If we are down, we need to think positive, instead of letting our troubles take our peace and joy.

This is something, I seriously need to work on. I overthink.about my problems and concerns. I am a mostly negative thinker. I am a single parent of two, special needs kids. Let that sink in. My days are filled with doctor appointments, meltdowns, and struggles over food..

In the past few weeks, my oldest broke the tv and started sleeping back in the bedroom. My laptop died. The wifi has been lagging so I can't blog, listen to music, or watch a show without many pauses. Thank you Amazon on deck for saving me lol.

My youngest has to have his tonsils and adenoids removed to see if it helps his sleep apnea. His heart pauses are increasing. Hit after hit after hit. I need this book.

Miles said we have no control over our circumstances, but we can control our thoughts when we are going through something. We also need to trust God in everything. We don't have to sink. Miles said we don't sink when God is our anchor.

She's Got the Wrong Guy Review (Litfuse)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affililate Links.



I read She's Got the Wrong Guy, IWhy Smart Women Settle)in exchange for honest review from Litfuse. The book was written by Deepak Reju. The book is Christian-based. Reju discusses how dating is harder for single, intelligent, Christian women.

For me, I was impressed with the title. I have limited dating experiences. I never been big on dating and relationships. I started late in life dating. I focused on grades to achieve my goals to moving as far from Texas as possible, in order to have a life (ended up moving back in 2010. I  married my first boyfriend, even though I saw red flags. I was in college at the time (for the wrong reasons. not the right school for me), when I met him. We got married less than two years later after we married.

The next and last boyfriend, I had was in 2006. The relationship lasted a month or so. I met him, leaving work. He was going in to work and I was on my way to the bus stop to go home. What stood out about him was he was wearing a suit to go clean a stadium.

I just don't grasp the ins and outs of dating. I want to date. I want to be married again one day, but I want to do things the right way. From my limited dating experiences and my former promiscous life, I have seen many red flags, I don't want in my next relationship.

I have noticed not many men want to date a celibate woman, nor do many want to date the promiscuous woman. Many want the option of sex if I decide to enter into a relationship. Even with celibacy, everyone has a different definition. I have talked to "celibate" men, who still wanted the option of sexual activity without the penetration. Reju does a good job explaining how sex has become prevalent in today's society. Even Christians struggle with promiscuity and pornography.

Reju also discusses how women settle for men because they want marriage or motherhood. Women accept red flags to achieve goals. Women also stay in settled relationships, even when the relationship isn't working.  From dating non-believers to dating overly flirtatious men, women settle. Settling and ignoring red flags can affect your morals, values, and faith. When I was younger, I was taught co-habitation and premarital sex was wrong. I was raised these things was wrong, yet engaged in them many times. As I got older, I had to pay for the consequences of my actions, including a more jaded personality. I can sense a red flag approaching and try to shut it down quick. It's like I heard and seen this before, this is not anything new, go away.

The book is a good read.

When We Last Spoke Book Review (FlyBy Blog Promotions)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I read When We Last Spoke by Marci Hanna, in exchange for honest review from FlyBy Blog Promotions.I received a paperback and a dvd intro (not released yet). I havent heard the dvd yet because my pc hates my external dvd player.



About the book

Humor, heartbreak, and triumph are served with whipped cream and lots of local nuts in this heartwarming tale of family, friendship, and forgiveness in Fireside, Texas.

Meet Juliet Cranbourne, local radio personality and owner of a whimsical kitchen gadget store,and her sister Evangeline, a fruit tree geneticist who works for Oregon State University.

When a rift due to their orphaned past affects their sisterhood, Juliet convinces Evangeline to come home for Christmas and choose headstones to honor grandparents Walt (a tenderhearted, good looking rancher) and Ruby (a blue-ribbon fiddler, fabulous cook, and expert in the art of making family feel loved). 

As they cruise through Fireside in Ruby's Thunderbird, Juliet hopes that healing memories will somehow smooth rough roads ahead.

Does the tremendous love that marked Walt and Ruby's lives still have the power to renew their sisterhood and help them find their place in the world?

About the Author:

Marci Henna was born in Austin, Texas and lived as a child in Kenya, East Africa with the Wakamba tribe where her parents managed a medical research station. She later moved to the Hill Country ranch which has been in the family since the 1800s and currently lives in Austin.

Book Review

I liked the concept of the book. Two sisters (Juliet and Evangeline) attempt to get along, while healing over the death of their grandparents (Walt and Ruby) years ago. My maternal biological grandpa died before I was born, while I never met my paternal grandpa. My maternal grandma died 16 years ago, while my paternal grandma is still living at 80 something years old. 

I have three sisters (two from my parent's marriage and one from my father, never met her). The middle two and I tolerate each other. It may take something major for all of us to come together and grieve.

In the beginning of the book, Juliet is on a mass declutter of her grandma's junk from the house. I am in the process of doing the same for my apartment. Need to declutter to make room for things I want like a sofa set, dining room table, and a fifth bed for Brad (maybe a mattress).

I also lived with my grandma as a kid, with mother, sisters, and a host of other relatives. She was the disciplinarian, the cook, and the cleaner.

The book will be free on Kindle from February 20th to 24th


The book is available in paperback, kindle, and kindle unlimited format.

Refresh (Kregel Book Tours)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received Refresh, in exchange for honest review from Kregel Book Tours. The book was written by Kimberly M. Drew and Jocelyn Green.

I wanted to read the book because being a special needs parent is lonely, depressing, and frustrating. I need encouragement daily. Between the screaming; head banging (Kalen); and potty training issues, I feel on the verge of a break down any day now.

Brad is 16, Autistic with ADHD and a Creatine deficiency disorder. Brad is not potty trained, but hates being wiped. Brad doesn't like being told no. He throws things. He punches holes in walls (luckily, not here yet), and can get very aggressive towards people. Brad's mental age is 0 -6 months. Brad can walk, dress his self to a point, and eats like a regular teenager. Brad's latest incident was he broke a window at school. He also cracked my bedroom door.

Kalen has Global Development Delays; Autism; Sensory Processing Disorder; Creatine Deficiency Disorder; Sleep Apnea, and Static Encephalopathy. Kalen has a heart monitor and a pacemaker. Kalen is a helper monkey. He loves to help people, sometimes at a cost. Imagine using the bathroom and a toddler hands you one square of tissue at a time lol. Kalen also hates water in his face and head. Once, he climbed into the shower and got hit by a blast of water and was traumatized. He hid in the back of the tub and refused to move. I had to pick him up and calm him down. He did not speak or cry for hours that day.

Kalen functions on a 2-3 year range, mentally and functionally. Kalen had early intervention, occupational therapy; physical therapy; and preschool for children with developmental disabilities, but these services was not available when Brad was diagnosed. Brad fell through the cracks and functions at a lower level than his younger brother.

Trying to work with both of them is mentally draining. Don't let both need something at the same time because it can be too much.

At the end of each chapter, you do have a few questions to answer in a section called "digging deeper".


You can purchase the book, using the link above. The book comes in Kindle and paperback format. The book is prime-eligible.

Jesus and the Beanstalk Review (Litfuse)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I read Jesus and the Beanstalk by Lori Stanley Roseleveld, in exchange for honest review. I was provided a paperback copy of the book. The book has Christian themes.

The book discusses how we can use our strengths i.e. our fruits of the spirit, our spiritual gifts to help overcome challenges. The book uses Jack and the Beanstalk as context to help us. Even the chapter titles reference back to Jack.

We are surrounded by giants. My giants include a recent move and learning to live alone with kids. My giant is parenting special needs kids. The giants wantt to conquer us, but in the bible, God equipped the smallest people with the right tools to defeat the giants. With David, it took a few rocks to defeat his Goliath. The giant thought he would win the battle but he was no match for God.

The author also discusses why we are not seen as giant killers. Reasons include lack faith and material want. We crave more than what God has already given us. We have to change our attitudes and behaviors to experience spiritual growth.

You can purchase the book using the link above. The book comes in paperback and kindle format.,

The Berenstain Bears Harvest Festival Review (BookLook Bloggers)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.







I read The Berenstain Bears' Harvest Festival (Berenstain Bears/Living Lights), in exchange for honest review from Book Look Bloggers. The book was written by Mike Berenstain. I received a paperback book.

The book is great for the fall season. The bears are preparing for (and later attending) the Harvest Festival in town. The festival was filled with fun activities, such as apple picking, a hay ride, and a meal. The book was also a quick read, whether I read it in it's entirety for one child or skimmed through the pictures for another child.

The pictures are also bright and colorful


You can purchase the book on Amazon in paperback format only. The price is amazing and it's prime-eligible.

Book Review:

I am an author of poetry and short stories. Many of the things I learned throughout the process, I learned from trial and error. I still struggle with issues such as promotion and marketing (because I am cheap) and I probably need new book covers to increase sales (but I am cheap). My sister, on the other hand, has wrote a few books as well, and has developed a mastery in sales and promotions. She sells her books anywhere and everywhere. 

In the book, the author, Barb D. discusses the basic tenets for writing a book, besides writing the book.

Shelly's Outdoor Adventure Book Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.


I read Shelly's Outdoor Adventure (Shelly's Adventures), in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The book was written by Kentrell Martin and illustrated by Marc Rodriguez. In the book, Shelly goes on an adventure, but she also teaches kids some sign language. I wanted the book because Brad knows some signs, such as hungry and more, while Kalen is learning sign language at school. Well, his teachers are attempting to teach him sign language.

The book is a quick read with the story, but the sign language portion is interesting because you have to stop to bond with your kids to teach them the signs in the book. Your kids will learn new words in English and in sign language.

You can purchase the book on Amazon, using the link above. The book comes in paperback and hardback format. You can also purchase a limited edition on Shelly's website

A Wicked Truth Book Review and Tour (My Addiction is Reading)

This post was sponsored by My Addiction is Reading. This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.





About the Author: 

Joyce grew up in the Midwest and attended college and grad school in Chicago. After working in mental health, she retired to write full-time. Her first book, Eliza, was published in 2012. A Wicked Truth is the third book in the Cady Delafield series. When she isn’t writing mysteries or historical romances, she loves to swim, walk and is a crossword puzzle fanatic. She and her husband live in Florida and Minnesota, in her very own little house on the prairie.

About the Book:

The wedding date is set, and life is magical for Doyle Flanagan and Cady Delafield. Honor bound to repay an old debt, Doyle agrees to help a friend find her sister. As he searches for the girl, painful memories surface, stunning Cady when she discovers facts about Doyle’s hidden past.

In spite of incredible odds, Cady and Doyle’s love has flourished. But in the midst of a life threatening accident, murder, and Doyle’s secrets, their wedding date and happiness are in jeopardy. Mired in tragedy, can they overcome the turmoil with a fateful decision that changes their future forever?

Book Review

I wanted to read the book because the description sounded amazing. The couple is about to get married, but runs into a snag. The book's prologue starts in the late 1800s. The prologue was an interesting read. You have a woman held against her will, for sexual pleasure, and thought of a brilliant plan to escape. The prologue does contain sexual language. I was very impressed by the prologue and wanted to read more of the book. The prologue was solid writing gold. (Bwahahahahaha :-) but then shocked at the end.

I also liked how Doyle choose to wait until marriage to indulge in sex (Chapter 1). Even though Cady wanted to have sex, Doyle had more willpower.

Becoming a spiritually healthy family review (Litfuse)

This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I have received Becoming a Spiritually Healthy Family: Avoiding the 6 Dysfunctional Parenting Styles in exchange for honest review from LitFuse.

I wanted to review the book to see what I can learn to apply to my family.

The first part focused on how God is the director of our lives. Whether or not we follow his plan, he is still in control. Chapter two focuses on the six dysfunctional parenting styles.I can be the double minded and i cant say no parent. The book thwn moves into full length discussion on each of the parenting styles.

For example, the double minded parent wants to follow God but struggles with worldy desires. Their lives are filled with anxiety and guilt. Staying in the middle of the road is not completely trusting and following God.

The book also has questions for reflection at the end of each chapter.

You can purchase the book on Amazon in Kindle and paperback format.

Why does my book not sell review(Tomoson)


This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links and Images.





I read Why Does My Book Not Sell? 20 Simple Fixes (Writer's Craft) in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The book was written by Rayne Hall.

I am a writer. I wrote 10 small books. Self published. I suck at marketing. I did my own covers except one. My books are not money makers, not best sellers. I have no idea how to increase sales effectively. I just love to write. Sales are not that important, but it would be nice to get a bigger check sometimes.

My last royalty check was .10.

In Hall's book, she provides 20 tips for increasing sales, such as having the right cover/design. People judge a book by its cover. Having a crowded cover with too many elements is also bad.

The cover also has to reflect the genre. You also have to consider use of stock photos. Other people may have the same one.

Other things to consider (and things I can improve) are the blurb and knowing your reader. You also have to consider social media. Overpromotion annoys folks. Also talk to your fans and other authors. Finally, you want book reviews-even the negative ones. I have to ignore some or I will be in a bad place. You also should watch how you respond to reviews. Hall suggests not commenting on any reviews. And dont buy or write fake reviews either. You don't want all your reviews taken down if you are caught.

You can purchase the book on Amazon in Kindle format.

The Giant and the Dwarf by Dov Yanai Book Review (Tomoson)

This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links and Images





I read THE GIANT and THE DWARF, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The book was written by Dov Yanai

The story is about a brother and sister. The brother is tall and no one notices him, when he passes by. His sister, on the other hand, is small and people stared at her or was scared of her. She was different and knew it.

The Giant was his sister's protector. He would confront people and stare at them back. Both the brother and sister have their issues, but they also both need each other to survive.

The book was a quick read. I finished it in one sitting. Yanai did a good job writing the book.

You can purchase the book on Amazon in Kindle format only.



I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Citizen by Rob Peabody (Kregel Blog Tours)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links and Images




I read Citizen: Your role in the alternative kingdom in exchange for honest review from Kregel Blog Tours. The book was written by Rob Peabody. I received a paperback copy of the book.

Peabody discusses how we are citizens of the Kingdom of Christ, but while we are here on earth, we need to do the work of Christ. Many people get stuck in their earthly roles, but don't grow much in their Christian roles.

Peabody also said many Christians go to church, attend praise and worship, give their lives to God, but that's as far as their walk goes. That's how far my walk goes sometimes. I want to do more, but stuck. People are also content in their Christian walk. Jesus is part of our lives, but he should be the center of our lives.

The book was a good read. If we are to spend the rest of our lives with him, then we should get to know God better. We should serve more, bring more people to God more.

The book is available on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback format.
