This book is a must read even if you aren't an adoptive parent or SCC fan. I knew it was going to be a hard read when I cried at the dedications in the front. It's worth the tears though. I finished it in less than a week.

Book Review
My neighbor, Aimee, let me borrow her Choosing To See book by Mary Beth Chapman. As a waiting parent of a daughter from China, this book was especially touching for me. But even more so because I have always been a huge fan of Steven Curtis Chapman. I remember clearly where I was we heard the news that Maria had been killed.
This book is a must read even if you aren't an adoptive parent or SCC fan. I knew it was going to be a hard read when I cried at the dedications in the front. It's worth the tears though. I finished it in less than a week.

Book Review
Heaven is For Real.
READ THIS BOOK.
Right now. That is all.
Seriously, I'm not going to spoil it for you, but this is a story of a very sick little boy who while he was dying, went to heaven and met Jesus. I literally got chill bumps reading it all through the book and cried many more times than I can count. Rachel told me about this book that was lent to her by a friend. Friday night, I was at B&N trying to use a Groupon before it expired and remembered this book when I saw it. It took me a little over 24 hours to read it.
Get this book and read it. You'll be glad you did!
(P.S. I'm getting no compensation or anything to say this. These are my own opinions because I really liked the book!!!)

Book Review: Blind Hope
I'm a tiny bit behind on this book review because I had saved it to go with me on vacation, but it was worth the wait!
Blind Hope, written by Kim Meeder and Laurie Sacher, is wonderful book about Laurie and her journey through her broken dreams and the healing that came from rescuing a dog in need.
Without revealing too much of the plot, Laurie's life dreams are shattered when she comes to work for Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch where broken horses and broken children come to find healing. Laurie ends up rescuing a dog in need but soon realizes that her dog, even though blind, is rescuing HER.
"As Laurie and her dog, Mia, both learned to follow the lead of a master they couldn't see, Laurie discovered the transforming power of God's grace even for imperfect and selfish people - and she experienced a greater love than she had ever known."
This is the sweetest story and especially touching if you are an animal lover and this book is a TRUE STORY. It is an easy read. I started the book when we were leaving the beach and had it finished before we stopped for lunch.
As with all my book reviews, I have a copy to share. If you are interested, just leave a comment below. First one to comment gets the book.
If you want to purchase the book, please go here and order...
