I signed up to review this book, because I have a young daughter who is 11. But I really enjoyed reading this book and being inspired. There were a ton of great stories and great ideas for practical ways to make a difference for God and all of his creation! It made me step back and say 'hey' if he his saying this for teens, then how much more could I, as an adult be doing? The book made me want to read it and it made me want to be a better person. It also reminded me that we don't have to be doing giant things, that little things can change the world too! There were lots of spaces to write out your thoughts and ideas which I didn't do because I was giving it to my daughter, but it seemed like it would make it feel more personal.
I did pass this on to my daughter, but perhaps I should have waited as she's not quite ready to change the world yet! I did notice one day when she was reading it, she came and offered to do the dishes without me asking. =) I imagine she will continue to look through it to. It's definitely one to buy and not borrow! I give this book 5 Stars!
The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through Booksneeze!
It's almost Christmas, boy how time flies! My children are entertaining themselves, well no the TV is doing that job and the house is somewhat quiet so I decided to stop write up a quick post. I obviously am not great at consistency, but blogging has not been a priority. Lets see Nate aka Curly recently lost his first official tooth! He had his front two top teeth pulled over a year ago, so I'm not counting those. So now he has 3 holes in his smile =)! Nate will be turning 6 next week! I can't believe it! Baby Boy aka Joshua will be 3 next month, he is VERY talkative, very sweet and quite a handful or two. Madeline & PJ are loving their school and PJ has even been talking on the phone with his friends. Now Nate's complaining he's bored and only wants to do something fun, so I better run. More later, whenever that might be =).
Well to tell the truth I probably didn't need to use plurals, particularly not twice, as there is only one broken arm around here for the moment!
No need to worry, he's as happy as can be, except for the part where he can't run, jump, climb or ride his scooter!
And ocassionaly he gets a crazy itch that he freaks out about (I know I would too!) Luckily that orange thing is waterproof so if he gets and itch he sprays water down it and that usually does the trick!
If your wondering how the damage was done well he fell off a...............bed! I wasn't home, but rumor has Baby Boy fell on top of him to, then one story said that PJ pushed him and well somehow it got broken! So don't do tricks off your bed!
