Damascus Countdown by Joel Rosenberg Book Review

Damascus Countdown by Joel Rosenberg is the third book in the Twelfth Imam Series, also known as David Shirazi series Book #3. My reviews of the first two books can be found here and here. This book is incredible. It concludes the story of David Shirazi and his mission to foil the plan of the Muslim Messiah in destroying Israel.

Incredibly, this book is more action-packed than the first two in the series. I seriously couldn't put the book down. If this book were a movie you'd have white knuckles from gripping the seat. The story is wonderful and moves very well. Most of the chapters in this book weren't long which was nice since I'm the mother of a newborn and sometimes was unable to sit and read this book for long bouts of time. I read it every chance I got though. Mr Rosenberg knows a lot about the Middle Eastern cultures and countries. I came to the conclusion whilst reading this book, that I know very little about Iran, Iraq, Syria, Israel and the Middle East in general.

I was drawn into the story and became very attached to the characters. I even found myself crying and Praising God by the end of the book as if the story were true. You cannot go wrong reading this series. It wraps up wonderfully and leaves you wanting more. Enjoy!

Time4learning Review

     I was recently invited to try Time4learning for a month free in exchange for my honest review. I hadn't heard of this website before, so I was excited to check it out. I signed up my three oldest children ages, 10, 7 and 3 as members and we were on our way.

     The website is very easy to use and does a wonderful job of introducing you to its functions and features. My children, with except of the 3 year old, were able to log in and complete lessons without any assistance from me. It includes fun videos that made the kids giggle and laugh and really enjoy learning.

     My 10 year old who is currently in 5th grade especially loved the Language Arts lessons. He loved "The Old Time Wordshow" and "Word Herd". Word Herd is the name for the quizzes. I would hear lots of giggles every time he was working on a lesson. He wanted to do more than one lesson at time because he enjoyed it so much.

    My 7 year old also really enjoyed the Language Arts lessons. She is currently in second grade and easily completed each lesson on her own. She is advanced above the second grade level in some areas and it was very easy to change the difficulty in her lessons.

    My three year old is just learning her numbers and ABC's and the preschool section was very easy for her to follow. She wasn't able to complete the lessons on her own since her computer skills aren't very good, but she enjoyed pointing to what she wanted me or her older brother to click when answering questions.

In closing, I think we will consider joining this website in the future. My children really enjoyed it and continually asked to do more lessons, or "Can I do my time4learning now?" I recommend this program for at least the ages of my children, if not all ages.

Unexpected Love Book Review

Unexpected Love: God's Heart Revealed in His Conversations with Women by Julie Zine Coleman.

This books is about several different interactions between God and women. Each chapter deals with a different scripture reference and what we can learn from God's Word. The introduction to the book was written very well and got me very excited to read the rest of the book. However, some of the chapters seemed very long-winded and tedious. I did overall enjoy reading the book, but was a little disappointed after the introduction.

I was given this book for review by Booksneeze.

Wings of Glass

Wings of Glass by Gina Holmes Book Review.

Wings of Glass is a fictional story about a woman named Penny. She has an abusive husband and no friends or family nearby. Her life changes forever when her husband, Trent, is injured in an accident at work and left blind. She is then forced to work to feed her family.
This story is an easy read and has some very delightful characters. I don't agree with all of the subtle opinions or comments that the author makes, but nonetheless I enjoyed the book. I recommend it for a nice read on a rainy day. There are several instances of domestic abuse and violence towards women.

This book was provided to me at no cost for review from Tyndale.
