Money Secrets of the Amish by Lorilee Craker

Hello, there! I’ve gotten a new book from book sneeze recently. It’s call “Money Secrets of the Amish” by Lorilee Craker. Before I get started,  I simply must tell you that I received this book for free from the book sneeze program from Thomas Nelson Publishers and they are not making me give this book a good review. So whatever I say about this book is really and truly my own opinion. I need to say this because of some long legal law thing. Anyway, I’ve always been a fan of Dave Ramsey. If you’ve never heard of him, you need to look him up. Seriously. That guy is like a genius with money management. When I saw this book, I was intrigued. I think it’s always a good idea to manage your money well. “Money Secrets of the Amish” by Lorilee Craker is a very practical money mangagement guide. Not only that, but it is enjoyable to read- as enjoyable as accounting/ money books can beJ If you are looking for a user friendly, easily applicable guide to managing money, “Money Secrets of the Amish” by Lorilee Craker is the book for you. You don’t even have to churn butter or own a buggy to use itJ

Rejoice CD by Women of Faith

Hey! I got something new from booksneeze!! I need to tell you first (as always) that I got this for free from Thomas Nelson Publishers and I have no obligations to give this a good review. Okay, now this one got me excited. Because this time, I didn’t get a book. I got a CD! Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer CDs that I can hold over downloading songs from iTunes or whatever. The CD, called “Rejoice by Women of Faith”, offers a bunch of well-known songs, including “You Brought The Sunshine”, “Come As You Are”, “Great Is Thy Faithfullness”, and quite a few more. These songs, though, are not preformed by “famous” artists- rather, it sounds more like a women’s choir (although, really, these songs are actually kind of like arena concerts that were recorded) These songs are good songs, and I honestly enjoy them, but the people singing at some points almost got on my nerves. They sing really, really, really high at some parts (okay, a lot of parts), and it almost gave me a headache. But I still enjoyed this CD, and I think the song selections are superb. I think I give this a good four out of five stars :)

In Front of God and Everybody by K. D. McCrite

Hi! I just got a new book from Booksneeze- “In Front of God and Everybody: Confessions of April Grace” by K. D. McCrite. This is a really cute book, but before I start telling you about it, I need to tell you that I got this book for free and that I’m under no obligation to give this a good review. Okay, now that that’s done, we can get down to business. “In Front of God and Everybody: Confessions of April Grace” is a cute book- it makes me think of books that I used to read when I was younger. As a girl that basically grew up out in the booneys, I loved that there was FINALLY a book that didn’t take place in some big city. This book chronicles the life and adventures of a young girl, April Grace, for whom this book is named. There is a certain innocence about the book, something that is prevalent in childrens books yet absent in most adult ones. It was very refreshing to feel that once again. This is just a simply cute book and I would recommend it to anyone under the age of 13 (any GIRL that is under the age of 13. For some reason, I don’t think many boys would be very interestedJ) I give this book five out of five stars.
