Unshackled: From Ruin To Redemption

At 17 Gene McGuire was arrested and convicted for a murder he did not commit. He spent 34 years in prison. Serving that life sentence ... he found life. This is his story behind bars and how he found God. He became born again and following God's will he started a revolution prison ministry. Then he was released and now tours and tells his story and the amazing way that God has moved in his life. This book was amazing, funny, and sad. The last chapter I almost cried. It's very spiritually moving and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know how to be free. I meet the author.

Dateable

This was a Christian dating book. It was excellent! This was supposed to be a teen book but I thought it was good to read for anyone curious about how to have a better relationship from teen to adult. It was comical but gave the truth about men and women. This book teaches how to protect your heart, live with excitement, and enjoy relationships in a way that enhances rather than detracts from those they'll have in the future.

Racso and the Rats of Nimh

This is the second book in the Trilogy of books in the Nimh series. But it didn't matter to me because I know the original story. Racso learns of the rats of Nimh from his father. When he is old enough he travels to Thorn Valley where the rats live in a secret community. He wants to learn to read and write. On the way on his journey, he encounters Timothy Frisby. After making it to Thorn Valley he goes to school for a few months. He learns to write and makes some friends. Then the rats find out that the humans are building a dam that will flood the valley. They move some supplies to a secondary location. Then they come up with a plan to make sure the dam is destroyed so they can keep their home.

The Purity Principle

This book was very good. It explained the principles of the Bible in reference to spiritual purity and the reasons behind it as well. This book talks about raising children to embrace sexual purity, protecting purity in dating, and maintaining purity in marriage. It also had tips on what we can do to experience the freedom of purity.

Light as a Feather

McKenna Brady and her elite popular friends on Halloween night play Light as a Feather Stiff as a Board with Violet the new girl in town. Violet predicts 3 of the girl's deaths. Then 1 week later Olivia Richmond dies in the exact way that she predicted. Then Violet rises to popularity and steps into the life Olivia left unfinished. McKenna becomes convinced Olivia’s death wasn’t just a coincidence. With the help of her friend Trey, they figure out what her secret before more people die.
      I liked it a lot, especially with the spiritual aspect and ghosts. But I was quite disappointed with the ending. 

The Blessed Life

This was a very good book about explaining what tithing is, and how to do it God's way. It was very easy to understand and had a lot of fun stories about Robert Morris' experiences with giving. He explains the principles of living the blessed life in all areas of your life. Giving is not just about money. When God changes your heart from selfish to selfless generosity every area of your life is affected. Once you understand the importance of tithing and start to give to God on a selfless level God will bless you in all things. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I am now reading the study guide that corresponds to the book.

The Gift of the Magi and Other Short Stories

This was an okay book. I liked the Gift of the Magi story. The rest of them were okay but I didn't like them as well. There was a story about a dying girl, a writer sobs over a menu, and a detective tracks a thief to an unexpected hideout to name a few. O'Henry 's writing style was interesting. I liked his use of eloquence and vocabulary in certain parts.
