<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I chose to review this book because I had read the first one. Presumed Dead by Barbara Ann Derksen was written in the same style as the first one. It was good mystery that kept my attention because I wanted to see how it ended. The dialogue was a little cheesy at times and I have a hard time with the way Brian is portrayed. There is a couple of times I said to myself, "really". However, I did finish reading it. The author did a good job of weaving two story lines together along with reminding us of situations from the first book. You can still read this book and follow along even if you haven't read the first one. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Would I recommend this book? Yes and no. If you are looking for an indepth story line with deep characters and interesting byplay this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a quick weekend or vacation book that you can enjoy without too much thought then you will like Presumed Dead by Barbara Ann Derksen</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Vanished by Barbara Derksen </b></div>
<br />
"Their lives are changed forever when murder and kidnapping take Brian Strait and Andrea Wilton to Haiti, the land of voodoo and street children. Vanished tells the story of their search for their friends, Trent and Diane Michner, but before they ever get started, a neighbor is murdered on Andrea’s doorstep and then her house is burned to the ground. Two men in a black Mustang shadow the couple."<br />
<br />
All they had to say in the description was that this book was considered a mystery and I was hooked. It was an easy quick read and the story kept my attention fairly well. There were a few plot twists and surprises but it wasn't one of those "Oh My Goodness, I didn't see that coming" type of books.<br />
<br />
There is some easy banter between friends with a blossoming relationship that you know is coming. The two main characters decide to save their friends and have many obstacles to face including their house being burned down. There is a great side story that will really warm your heart as they show compassion to a little girl in Haiti. I enjoyed the fact that Andrea came into her own and became an independent and strong woman by the end of the story.<br />
<br />
This is a great weekend of vacation read, the type of book that you don't have to think to much about as you go along. It is the first part in a series and I have the second book so stay tuned for that review.<br />
<br />
You can purchase this book on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vanished-Wilton-Strait-Mystery-Mysteries/dp/146809419X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1345738334&sr=1-1&keywords=vanished+barbara">Amazon</a> in paperback or Kindle version<br />

book of Proverbs in yes, chapter 31? Many of us have and many strive our entire
lives to live up to a standard that is frankly unachievable. Amy Bayliss’ book <i>Pursuit of the Proverbs 31</i> has given me a fresh perspective on the Proverbs
31 woman and also a freedom from guilt that is totally misplaced. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This bible study is laid out in an easy to handle format. Each
chapter gives you a chance to dig deeper into Proverbs 31 and also deeper into
The Word. There is scripture to look up, which I really like because we are told
to test what hear against God’s Word. There are also thought provoking
questions that really make you take a look at yourself and see where you stand.
Amy also uses examples from her own life to explain things, which helps me to
understand where she is coming from.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
makes her more of a real person, living a real life, just like me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also gives us suggestions to implement the
things that we are learning from God’s Word. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All in all I enjoyed Amy’s book <i>Pursuit of Proverbs 31</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It put a clearer perspective on the illusive
Proverbs 31 woman making her more of a guideline not a rulebook!<o:p></o:p></div>

<u>Simply Grilling</u> by Jennifer Chandler was a very informative and interesting cook book. As a cookbook junkie, I was excited to review this book. The recipes were well organized and easy to follow. The pictures, which are important to me, were outstanding! I really like that she offers suggestions for sides and desserts that are also in the book. Yes, there are desserts also that you can make on the grill. I really enjoyed this book!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 12px;">I did enjoy Farm Fresh Southern Cooking. It has stories of different farms all over the south that corresponds with certain recipes. I like cookbooks that bring in the "real world". One thing that I didn't care for was that a couple of the recipes used baking mixes and such but that is more of a personal preference. The pictures were amazing and the recipes looked yummy! I can't wait to try a few of them! I think it would be much easier if I lived farther in the south and had access to Farmer's Markets year around. </span></span><br />

Suspenseful, intense, thriller, those are the types of books that I enjoy and I have to say that The 13th Tribe by Richard Liparulo did not fail to deliver!<br />
<br />
I was very excited that I got to snag a copy of this book before they ran out. The book starts out in a archeological dig where the main character has job as a security guard. He has been through a traumatic accident that left him questioning his faith. He and his family decided a change of scenery was needed. The story continues to build and has so many twists and turns that I couldn't put it down. I don't want to give away to much because at the end there was such a plot twist I actually said out loud,"NO WAY!" The story intertwines with the book of Numbers in the Bible, when the Israelites convinces Aaron to make the golden calf. Again, I don't want to give away to much so you need to grab a copy and read it for yourself. If you do, leave me a comment when you finish and let me know what you think!<br />
<br />
Now, I don't want to scare you away by the fact that I said Dekker was my favorite author because this is a straight up story with no "slime on the walls". It is an action packed book that I couldn't put down. In fact, as soon as I finished it I went to check out Liparulo's other books!<br />

I recently read<i> Behemoth </i>by Jonathan C. Leicht that was about this exact question. As the book starts out, I feel like I am in Jurassic Park. It quickly moves into a university setting where a professor is giving his last lecture before he has to leave. He is making the case for his belief that dinosaurs did exist at the same time as man. I enjoyed this book because it was different than my normal type genre. It did keep my attention although it was a little technical at times. I definitely would give it a chance.<br />

I really enjoy Lis Wiehl's books and believe she is a great story teller. This book was very intriguing. I couldn't believe how quickly the story drew me in. I couldn't put it down. The first chapter sets the stage and by the second chapter you are shocked to the core. If you have read any of the other books in the series you won't want to miss Eyes of Justice.<br />
<br />
The characters are well written and I feel like I am right their with them. I get completely wrapped up in the story and their lives. Great story!<br />

Webster was the second book in a series. I hadn't read the first one but was able to follow the story easily. It actually made me want to go back and read the first book. The main character, Wade, has the gift of being able to read souls by looking into their eyes. He is involved in a criminal investigation which leads him down a dangerous path. Along the way he learns more about himself and how he is losing his own soul. There was enough suspense to keep me interested plus a great story line along the way. I enjoyed reading this book and will be reading the first book soon.<br />

This time I chose a fiction book. At the time I didn't realize it was a young adult book. As I started reading <i>Invasion</i> by Jon Lewis, I was quickly hooked. The main character is a 16 year old boy whose parents are killed in a car wreck. He is told it was by a drunk driver but soon finds out that was just the cover story. As the story progresses we find out there is a whole world out the public has no idea exists. I don't want to give to much away but think comic book heroes and aliens among us. I enjoyed the story and think my sons will like to read it also. It is going to be a series so I am sure I will be reading the next one too. If you have children in your family that like sci-fi fiction give this book a chance. It was a good book and kept me interested once I got into the story.<br />

I surprisingly enjoyed it. The book was "Why Men Hate Going to Church" by David Murrow. As a wife to a husband that rarely goes to church, I thought this book has some great insite. The author opened my eyes to what he calls the feminization of Jesus. There was so much that I hadn't really thought about. I highly recommend this book if nothing else just to make you think. Look around your own church and see if the population is mainly women. If so ask yourself why.<br />
<br />
One question that I thought was interesting is toward the end of the book in the chapter <i>Getting the big story right</i>, is the gospel being portrayed as a chick flick? Is the Lamb of God being predominately preached or the Lion of Judah? It even made me think about some of the praise songs we sing. Like I said this book really opened my eyes to how some men might feel sitting in some of our churches today.<br />

I have heard a ton of people talk about it so I figured why not. It is a really easy and interesting book to read. I love to read about people's lives and this book really drew me in. I have a special needs daughter who has spent time in the hospital so I felt a connection with the parents. When I started reading Colton's description of heaven it made me think of having such child-like faith.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed this book and would recommend it. It is a fairly short book but it will draw you in and hold your attention. I even cried a little! Heaven is a wonderful place and the description from the mouth of a child makes me long for it.<br />

That being said, I really liked this book!<br />
<br />
Waking Hours by Lis Wiehl was a well written story. It made you think about things that we don't see with our physical eyes. There is a spiritual world right along with our physical word, that we don't see and some do not like to think about. This book makes you look at possibilities some try to ignore. I love books that make you think outside the box.<br />
<br />
The story line was easy to follow and I didn't want to put it down. The two main characters and the story line flow well with each other. One is a forensic psychologist, the other is a private investigator in training. The story doesn't completely end, and it looks to be a trilogy. Check it out and see what you think!<br />

<br />
I chose to review a fiction book this time and boy was it good. It was a quick read, which is all I seem to have time for lately. Anyway, I really enjoyed The Baker's Wife by Erin Healy.<br />
<br />
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to walk in someone else's shoes? What if you could actually feel the pain and hurting that another person was experiencing? If God led you to a hurting, needing, person would you step out of your comfort zone and help them even if it caused you physical pain? The main subject in this book had to ask herself these questions.<br />
<br />
The Baker's Wife had just the right amount of suspense to keep your attention. I recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense stories but also stories that make you wonder could that really happen. I was entertained but challenged all at the same time.<br />

I know I haven't posted on here in ages but I wanted to share a review of a book that I read. It is Put Your Dream to the Test: 10 Questions to help you see it and seize it by John Maxwell. This has been a very encouraging book and has helped me ask myself some hard questions. It has encouraged me to pursue my dream by taking ownership of it. By writing down my dream it helps me to focus on it and the steps to pursue it.<br />
<br />
What are your dreams? Do you have a general idea or a clear path? "Only those who see their dreams are able to seize their dreams."<br />

The hadn't gotten together for at least three years due to some of them being over seas. When I walked in the house there was a Christmas tree set up... yes in June! I really didn't think anything of it because I was focused on where I was going to put all of them. Anyway they tell me that because this is the only chance they have to get together they were celebrating all of the holidays in three days. They had Valentines Day for breakfast, Cinco de Mayo for lunch, and Christmas was at supper time!<br />
<br />
This family was so much fun! After their regular pictures they all dressed up in goofy clothes so they could have a silly picture. The funny thing was, they wanted to take it inside the house not outside in the yard. I was informed that some of them still had to live in the neighborhood after the weekend was over and didn't want the neighbors to see them! Too funny!!<br />
<br />
Here is a couple from the shoot.<br />

I played with my settings until I got them where I liked it. I took a whopping 146 pictures, eek!! Of, course not all of them were very good. When I started out everything was black. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my settings. My advice from first hand experience..... check to see if you left the lens cap on!<br />

It has been really crazy around here. We spent a week with my daughter in the hospital. She got a virus that cause her to not be able to keep her seizure meds down. That led to major seizure activity which led to a late night trip to the ER. They ended up pumping her with a major medication dose and put her in the ICU. We were in the hospital for full 7 days!<br />
<br />
After that it was our 17th anniversary which we spent at Six Flags. That is where we went for our honeymoon. We both were very young!! Then company was here. My husband's family came to visit for the 4th.<br />
<br />
I also was working on promoting with <a href="http://www.myjestore.com/angieparrett">Jordan Essentials.</a> I was challenged to make director in training by July and I achieved it. I will be crowned at convention this month!!<br />
<br />
My husband has been doing great holding down the fort at home, including taking my son to baseball practice. This is his first year playing baseball and he loves it. He told me he thinks this is his sport. Here are some pictures from the last game that I was able to be at.<br />
<br />
