Alice in Wonderland

 I reread this book which is weird for me. I never reread books but I wanted to see what I remembered about the story. Alice fell through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of nonsense. This book was hard to describe because it doesn't follow any particular plot. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. I enjoyed reading this book because it reminds the reader about just being yourself and having an imagination.

Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food

This book was good. I enjoyed it even though a lot of the content was not relatable as the eating thing goes. This book talked about a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. Craving things is not a bad thing. But God created us to crave more of him. Many times we have misplaced the craving for God with a craving of overindulging in physical pleasures. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn’t a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal and grow closer to God in the process. This is not a how-to book or the latest and greatest dieting plan. 




Miracles from Heaven: A Little Girl, Her Journey to Heaven, and Her Amazing Story of Healing

Annabel Beam spent most of her childhood in and out of the hospital with a rare and incurable digestive disorder that prevented her from ever living a normal life. One she fell three stories headfirst inside an old, hollowed-out tree when playing with her sisters. She could have died but she survived without a scratch. She laid unconscious for hours while the rescue workers tried to save her. She visited heaven. After being released from the hospital, she defied science and was inexplicably cured of her chronic ailment. This is a remarkable true story of faith and blessings and told from a mother's perspective. This was a great book. I enjoyed watching the movie as well. I enjoyed seeing more of the story that the movie left out.
