Review: Living Fossils

Posted in Reviews

Living Fossils: Evolution the Grand Experiment Vol. 2 by Dr. Carl Werner Munchkin has enjoyed learning about dinosaurs and fossils from a very young age, so I’m always thrilled when we’re able to review dinosaur and/or fossil books.  Munchkin really liked the first book in this series, Evolution: The Grand Experiment, so I had high hopes for the second volume.  I was not disappointed. Dr. Carl Werner grew up in a Catholic church where he learned about and believed in creation and the other stories in the Bible.  As he headed into his teen years, he started to have some…

Pieces of Light A Dinah Harris Mystery by Julie Cave Pieces of Light is the final installment of the Dinah Harris Mystery trilogy. If you haven’t read the other books in this series, you’ll want to read those before jumping into this final book.

I started with a Betty Crocker…

Review: love Written in Stone

Posted in Reviews

love Written in Stone: Finding God’s Grace in the Boundaries He Sets by Philip Carlson, MD Philip Carlson is senior pastor of Bethany Church of Sierra Madre and practices family medicine in Pasadena. He lives with his wife, Carole, and their four children in Sierra Madre. Normally, I don’t start out a book review by talking about the author, but in this case, it’s important to note that Philip Carlson is not just a pastor, but he’s also a medical doctor. It’s this unique combination that gives this book a different viewpoint than many books on the market. Dr. Carlson…

Project 365 – #170 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. ~Deuteronomy 6:4-7~ Thank you, D, for being such a wonderful Godly husband and father.  Thank you…
