I liked this book, in a lot of ways because I can relate to Lisa and how she kept a large part of herself hidden away from her *friends*. I always looked at is as you have school friends, you have neighborhood friends, you have friends for different activities. But none of those friends really… [Continue Reading]

This was a hard book to read.  To realize that this was in fact a true story of a real person is unsettling.  That a person could believe that they have no choice but to sell themselves, to earn a living in such a way as an exotic dancer.  I feel so much sympathy for them,… [Continue Reading]

I really liked this book, now I  do not 100% agree with all of the information in this book- but do you ever in any book that is based on some one else’s opinions.  I do think a lot about the things that Dr Dobson addresses in this book.  Girls today are so different than girls from… [Continue Reading]

Take it from the Top (Adventures in Odyssey) [Audiobook][CD] (Audio CD) ~ AIO Team

Take it from the top.

This CD was awesome, my 4 year old daughter has just loved listening to the stories in the car. My 14 year old son seemed to enjoy them also, since he did not complain when we put them on. The stories are very entertaining, and they all have good messages in them. I also like… [Continue Reading]

This was a great  book.  Having the different perspective through out the book between the 3 main characters added a nice touch and really kept me interested in the book.  The trials and tribulations that the main characters  go through were not easy ones, and seeing the outcomes was interesting.  Not all of the situations… [Continue Reading]

Now this is not normally the kind of book I usually choose to read.  But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to read.  It was an easy and fun read.  The Biblical facts are presented with practical everyday applications. This book gives encouragement and hope to those that read it. The correlation… [Continue Reading]
