Free Books for Blog Reviews – Dreamers

So I was looking at an Amazon.com book review and found that bloggers can get free review copies of books to write a review on their blog and other publishing websites like Amazon. I quickly googled “review books for free” and found booksneeze and blogging for books.

Totally cool. I signed up for one of them to see if I qualify. Obviously, I don’t have many followers but it would still be fun to combine reading with blogging reviews.

I really do love a good book. I recently finished “Dreamers” by Angela E. Hunt. It was amazing and I couldn’t put it down. It was a love story wrapped around the story of Joseph – one of my all time favorites from the Bible. Obviously, Hunt takes some liberties with the characters and their storylines but I felt I was transported to another world, another time. The characters were very real and very human – Hunt did an amazing job and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the story continues in 2 more books which I have yet to purchase. I look forward to reuniting with the characters again even though the ending was not what I was expecting – love in all of its various forms.

Word of Encouragement

and then he told me,
My grace is enough; it’s all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.
~ 2 Cor. 12:9-10 (MSG)

The Perfect Relationship

A smile.
I’m content.
I’m getting what I need and what I want.
I speak.
I listen.
I am heard.
I see truth.
I see love.
I cannot hide.
I don’t wanna hide.
I seek to know and be known.
I cannot hide my love, my devotion.

I am wanted.
I am desired.
I am loved.
I am destined.
I cannot hide my love.

Through pain.
Through sorrow.
Through storms.
I can rely on You.
I can face every thing, every trial, every mistake.
I look to You.
I am loved by You unconditionally.
You know my every thought, every hair.
You know my every flaw but love me anyway.

Anyway, You care about all of me.
All of my life.
All of my hopes.
All of my dreams.
Every thing.
You care.
You see.
You love.
I cannot hide.

I cannot resist.
I cannot comprehend.
I do not deserve this love but you give it to me freely – no strings attached.
No words can describe this perfect love.
This perfect gift.
I cannot hide my love.
