The ultimate DVD Read and Share Bible volume 2 is A Bible storybook with
DVDs to help you share the joy and wonder of God’s Word with the children in
your life.
It has bite-sized DVD presentations with short stories in an accompanying
book. This is good for the short
attention span of little children. This volume contains many of the favorite,
often told stories of the bible like Moses, Jonah and the Whale, etc.
I’ll admit that when I first choose to review this bible, I was skeptical
that it would actually hold my 2 ½ year olds attention. I was afraid that the DVD presentations would
be hokey and that my tech savvy soon would be bored but that was not the case. Instead he actually would request to watch
his bible stories in the evening. That
makes this tired momma very happy to say the least. This is definitely for the younger children
though. The graphics and the stories are
very simple and kind of monotone so once you get past kindergarden, I do not
see this being appealing. Overall I
would recommend this to parents, grandparents, caretakers, etc. of preschool
age children without any reservations.

Amy Inspired by Bethany Pierce
Amy has a life long dream of becoming a published writer. Rejection after rejection keeps her firmly secure in the safe, yet boring, life that she has built for herself. When her roommate extends an offer to Eli to crash on the couch temporarily, Amy’s safe world is disrupted. Eli’s presence forces Amy to step out of her safe zone and challenges her to decide if she really wants the dream she has been chasing for so long.
While the story flowed well and was easy to follow, I found it to be a slow read. Like any story, this one will have mixed reviews. People’s opinions on this story are going to be based a lot on their beliefs. A stoutly conservative person might find themselves offended by some of the living arrangements but there is a character to fit everyone in the story. There is the stoutly conservative people and the very easy going (some might say liberal) “what ever may be” type of people and just about anything in between.

"Let's Do Lunch" By Roger Troy Wilson [Book Review]
“Let’s Do Lunch”
Roger Troy Wilson
Roger Troy Wilson weighed 425 pounds and had a 5-foot waist. He had given up on losing weight and prayed that he would die and go to Heaven.
After fifteen years of experimenting with different foods and eating patterns, he discovered how to actually have fun losing weight easily---almost the complete opposite of most diets. He lost 230 pounds and 24 inches from his waist.
His weight loss strategy does not qualify as low-fat, low-carb, etc.
His method of losing this weight may seem unconventional to some but may help those who feel beyond help. I found his story to be intriguing but will admit that I have mixed feelings about the nutritional value of eating this way. Wilson offers some sound advice like avoiding bad carbs (i.e. from bread, potatoes) as much as possible, eating your heavy meal at lunch and eating fruit instead of sugary foods.
If you have tried and are at your wit’s end on a weight loss journey I do not see how trying this approach would be harmful. The book itself offers recipes, shopping lists, and provides a link to Wilson’s webpage. Wilson is not telling you “must do this” but instead offering suggestions/changes that could benefit you.
