My Thoughts:
I recently had the oppotunity to review this Bible. I was excited about reviewing it and then passing it along to my husband. I throughly enjoyed every aspect of this beautifully bound hardcover Bible.
Between the study notes, and the layout, this is a perfect Bible for every special guy in your life. Through this particular Bible it truly shows the meaning of a Father's love, both heavenly and earthly. It is written in the New Century Version, making this Bible an easy-to-understand Bible. However, if you want to use this as a true STUDY Bible, I wouldn't recommend it....for a true Bible Study Bible I think you should read a King James Version.
Overall, this is a wonderful Father's day gift that you should get for that lucky man in your life. It is hardcover so it's at less of a risk for tearing, and it's wonderfully thought out by the author in a way to make it easily read. I definitely think you should give this Bible a try!

Operation Worship Holy Bible (Homefront Edition}
Give the gift that matters most in the place it’s needed most. Last year CBA stores took up the challenge of sending 500,000 Bibles to our men and women in uniform. Now available for the general trade in pink camo, a special edition for the wives, mothers, sisters and friends that are supporting our American military around the world
My Thoughts:
This is a truly beautiful Bible for mothers, daughters, grandmothers, girlfriends and wives. It's cute decor on the outside of pink camo really reflects the military life. In the front of the Bible is a prayer that is absolutely beautiful. It also has a section that tells what the Bible is all about, as well as an introduction to the NLT.
This Bible is compact and small enough that the military spouses or dependents can carry it with them anywhere. At the end of the Bible, which reads as a normal NLT Bible, there is a section giving everyone a sneak peak of the The One Year Yellow Ribbon Devotional book, which I think is fantastic.
Over all, this Bible is a perfect Bible for the military families. It will keep you close to the One who is protecting us all, including the members of the military.

God's Promises for Boys by Jack Countryman & Amy Parker
An easy way to help young boys see God’s promises and how they can rely on His love in their daily lives.
The promise verses in this book are selected from the bestselling International Children’s Bible® to offer comfort and encouragement when a boy is feeling afraid, lonely, worried, angry, dissatisfied, discouraged, sad, rebellious, impatient, or sick . . . and when they need reassurance of God’s protection, love, forgiveness, help . . . and that He listens when they pray. It’s a great way for children to hide God’s Word in their hearts.
Sample text: Sometimes it’s hard to tell the truth when you feel like you have something to hide. But remember—when it’s hard to be honest: God promises to reward Truth—not Lies!
"You must do these things to enjoy life and have many happy days. You must not say evil things. You must not tell lies." Psalms 34:12-13
My Thoughts:
This morning I received in the mail a wonderful little book. It's God's Promises for Boys. I requested to review this book, because if I liked it I want to pass it on to my grandsons. And let me say this: I am most definitely going to be passing this along to them!
Tommy Nelson is a branch of Thomas Nelson and a good one at that. They offer so many wonderful things for God's amazing little ones. This book is a wonderful one! It is a short book, easily read in one sitting, filled with colorful little pictures and life lessons for children. From being cool, to lying, to being saved, there are scripture verses and lessons about God's love and promises for even the smallest of children. Wonderful!
All in all this is a book that I highly suggest you all get for those rough and tumble little guys in your life! They will smile at the pictures and be in awe of the words of God, just for them. The authors really did an execellent job on this one!

A Summer Secret by Kathleen Fuller
In the Mysteries of Middlefield series, readers will be immersed into exciting mysteries and authentic Amish culture.
With a twin brother and five younger brothers, Mary Beth Mullet’s house is in constant chaos. Her parents don’t seem to mind the noise, but she needs a break from all the pestering and babysitting.
It’s the summer before eighth grade, and Mary Beth plans to escape to her secret place as much as possible. The old barn in the neighboring field is dangerous, and her parents have forbidden her to go there, but she escapes to it as often as she can.
Mary Beth soon discovers she is not alone in the barn. Someone is living there; someone who needs help. Can Mary Beth help the stranger without losing her secret place? And what if the barn is as dangerous as her parents say it is?
Readers will identify with Mary Beth’s struggles for peace and independence and be engrossed in the excitement and danger of A Summer Secret.
My Thoughts:
I recieved this book this morning and sat down to read it, and ended up finishing the book! Delightful mystery! I love the combination of young Amish lives mixed with Godly lessons and suspense. I laughed, I prayed and I was intrigued by the mystery through out the whole book....and I'm a grandma!
But this is certainly a book I wouldn't mind reading again. Kathleen Fuller knew how to create magnificent novels for adults and now she has found a wonderful, clean way to include teens in better genre of books. She packs this book full of lessons, but does so in a way that will hook the young reader and keep them guessing til the end.
This is a book that I would recommend to all the young readers out there. It is something I wish my daughter had growing up! Kudos to Kathleen for a great job!

Wonders Never Cease by Tim Downs
"It's true what they say, you know: If you talk to God, you're religious; but if you hear from God, you're schizophrenic."
When a car accident leaves a famous movie star in a coma, nurse Kemp McAvoy thinks he has found his ticket to the life he's always wanted. As a med school dropout who was on his way to becoming an anesthesiologist, Kemp has the knowledge to carry off the crazy plan he concocts: adjust the star's medication each night and pretend to be a heavenly visitor giving her messages. He recruits her agent and a down-and-out publisher to make sure the messages will become the next spiritual bestseller and make them all rich.
But his girlfriend's daughter, Leah, keeps telling people that she is seeing angels, and her mother and her teachers are all afraid that something is wrong.
Before it's all over, they'll all learn a few things about angels, love, and hope.
My Thoughts:
This book was a quick, light and easy read for me. It really gets your mind think about God's ways and the human nature. Tim Downs created a story that is full of humor to keep the reader pulled in and focused on the story. He also added enough suspense to the story to really leave me wondering what would happen next!
Tim Downs really brought out a theory about angels with this one. I am really glad that I was able to review this book for Booksneeze. It is one that I would suggest my daughter read as well as any other book lover out there!
Well done, Tim Downs!
