Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me


Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me By Ian Cron


The book I got was damaged, somehow a small hole was made (most likely by my postal service as this has happened before) The book received water damage and was unreadable. Unfortunately my postal service really doesn’t care about things coming to me as none of my packages have ever come in crisp condition. I will request this as an ebook if it is added; if I’m allowed. I will update a review for it later. I’m sorry I cannot give a proper review on it, but the book has sustained a huge amount of water damage to it and it is unreadable.

The Seraph Seal

The Seraph Seal is a book that’s a long time coming. I’ve been waiting to read this book for quite sometime-and it didn’t disappoint. I was enthralled in the book the whole time I was reading it, and managed to finish this book in about a day. I can’t wait to read more from this author-the plot moved so smoothly, and the characters were on the edge. I had trouble focusing as all I wanted to do was keep reading-get this book! You will be glad that you did! I got this book free from book sneeze, and the opinions held are solemnly my own.

Beyond All Measure By Dorothy Love

Beyond All Measure By Dorothy Love is a wonderful book that certainly kept the reader interested down to the very last chapter. I like how the book moves at a great steady pace while the book’s plot flowed in a flawless manner. It’s one of her firsts and for it being first she didn’t disappoint! The plot starts off with Ada Wentworth, a woman that journeys to Hickory Ridge Tennessee; her dark past following her after a broken engagement and left poor, but regardless; she took out an ad to care for Lillian Willis; an elderly lady who also happens to be the aunt of lumber Jack owner Wyatt Caldwell; sparks fly between the two setting off a chain reaction, in a complicated twist and turns of events that will be sure to have you captivated. This story was very interested; the conflicts and resolves with the characters were flawless; one that I will be sure to re-read again. The author did such an amazing job. I recommend this book to people who like to read this type of fiction. Read the book, you won’t be disappointed.

The Final Summit: A Quest to Find the One Principle That Will Save Humanity, an interesting plot with a pretty decent storyline to boot. If we could save humanity just by solving a puzzle and go back into time; I think we'd be a lot more successful then we are now. The author really indulges into the book and really shows us humanity. It's quite an interesting book and I do recommend it. I'm not really sure what else I can say about it. I know it's not 200 words but I don't really know what detail I can get into other than it did have some minor holes, but they were so slight. The book itself is good so check it out!

Max On Life: Answers and Insights to Your Most Important Questions

A book that raises some interesting questions and interesting answers...I didn't have a problem with trying to read this book as some of the chapters and questions were really enlightening-unfortunately I do get bored easily and I do have to pace myself with this book; I ended up reading it in strides.Which isn't bad if you do it that way. The questions and answers he offered were easy to understand and some even helped me in the light of things. The book was written well and I do recommend it to others.

Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day Simple Daily Strategies to Transform your Relationship

Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day Simple Daily Strategies to Transform your Relationship

As much as the book appeared interesting - I have to say that I wasn’t really impressed, but perhaps that wasn’t the point. Happiness is a state of mind but reality is not. It takes two to make a marriage work, which was portrayed well in here-but it also gave a sense of complete peace and there’s never that 100%, I like her suggestions and plan on trying some with my boyfriend (I don’t believe in marriage) Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good book - but it wasn’t for me.  I like what the author had to say but it takes more then just gestures, and with the world already so unhappy today it won’t  always work, but it is worth a try and for that I recommend it to people that are married and having problems, I just personally didn’t care for it.

Galileo Christian Encounters Series by Mitch Stokes

Galileo Christian Encounters Series by Mitch Stokes retells the story of Galileo Galilei an Italian who studied physicist, mathematician, astrologer, and of course philosopher of history.  He played a major role in helping science evolve past the concept of revolutionary into a more advanced time. He was known as the father of observantly astrology and his most known achievements were the improvement of the telescope and the consequences it would have on the planet. He was a Roman Catholic who was good with his faith but had two children out of wedlock; but despite that he was a good astrologer, some may even say one of the best who help to really bring science ahead with all  the latest testing and theories, he was also said to predict the end of the world in the year 2300, with the advanced studies he did. Although that still remains unclear. In his earlier years he wanted to pursue a life in priesthood, but thanks to his father’s insistence he went on to study medical at the University of Pisa; however he did not complete that degree and instead studied mathematics. He was also responsible for the separation of science and church during the Inquisition, which took place in the year 1616 while trying to defend the heliocentric theory. His life was full of adventure and was a very fascinating read-I definitely recommend this book!
