Book Review: Learning by Karen Kingsbury

I just finished reading Learning by Karen Kingsbury, and I have to say that I loved it! I was so looking forward to getting it after reading Leaving (the first book in the Bailey Flanigan series), and it did not leave me disappointed. It was a little slow to get into at first, but whenever I got to the part about Cody and what he was able to do with his football team at the summer camp, all I can say is "Wow!" You will want to have a box of Kleenex handy for this one! It is such a powerful reminder of how God is good...all of the time!

I still want Bailey to end up with Cody, but this book left me feeling that I would be fine if it were Brandon Paul that she ends up with. His character has grown on me, and I love the way that he has shown Bailey how much that he respects and cherishes her as a person.

This second book in the Bailey Flanigan series takes you through her struggles as an actress and dancer on Broadway and how she takes a stand for Christ with her cast mates. I am anxiously awaiting the release of the third book this fall, and I hope to get it as soon as it comes out! I received this complimentary copy of Learning from Zondervan to read and review. All opinions of this book are my own. I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I did! I highly recommend this and any other book written by Karen Kingsbury! WONDERFUL!!!

CD Review: Rejoice by Women of Faith

I enjoyed listening to the songs on the latest CD made by the Women of Faith Worship team. This group is made up of seven ladies who lead the worship at Women of Faith events across the country.

The songs were a mix of hymns and contemporary praise and worship songs. I thought that the cd was very calming and relaxing (not one I would recommend for listening to in the car!). Overall, I thought that the music was very pretty to listen to.

The following songs were on this cd:

Beautiful Redeemer

So Good

Forever Reign

Come As You Are

Hosanna

Our God

Glory to God

You Brought the Sunshine

Greatness of Our God

Great is Thy Faithfulness

My favorite song was the last one, Great is Thy Faithfulness. The vocal harmony was very pretty and filled me with a spirit of joy! I know that everyone has their own musical preferrences, and mine tends to be a little more contemporary than what was on this cd, but I did enjoy listening to it overall. I plan to pass this on to a girlfriend who has been going through a hard situation right now. I think that this music will be very uplifting to her and help her to keep her focus on God.

I received this complimentary cd from Booksneeze and Thomas Nelson to review. All opinions given are my own. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to receive a blessing! :)

Book Review: Leaving by Karen Kingsbury

I just finished reading Leaving by Karen Kingsbury, and I loved her latest book about the Bailey Flanigan that we have come to love through her other books! Some people think that Karen should have wrapped up the love story between Cody and Bailey before now, but I personally have enjoyed watching Bailey grow up and continue her journey in love and life.

In this book, we see different people in the Flannigan's lives "leaving" from the places they have been for so long. It is a hard place to be in when you are the one being "left" behind, but so exciting for the one that is actually spreading your wings and doing what God has planned for your life. I have continued to love the connection and closeness that Bailey is able to share with her mom as she grows up. Some may see that as unrealistic, but I think that this type of relationship is wonderful and one that we should all strive to have with our children.

I am looking forward to the release of Learning in a couple of weeks to see what happens next in the Bailey series! I highly recommend Leaving by Karen Kingsbury which Zondervan sent complimentary to me to read and review. All opinions on this book are my own. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did!
