About the Book

Strains of Silence Bethany KaczmarekAuthor: Bethany Kaczmarek

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 1, 2017

Music was her driving passion and the truest expression of her faith, but three months before her wedding, twenty-year-old Kasia Bernolak can’t even pick up her guitar. Feeling like a fraud who will ruin her dad’s pastoral reputation, she can barely meet his eyes. When Kasia finds the strength to break off her engagement, she still doesn’t realize the dangerous truth: Blake Hamilton isn’t ready to say goodbye. And he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her.

Alexander “Zan” Maddox has seen what a domineering man can do to an unsuspecting woman, and Zan is sick of injustice. He gave up a college baseball scholarship so he could protect his sister from her abusive husband. When he rescues Kasia from her ex-fiancé, he instinctively appoints himself her personal bodyguard. Now, all he has to do is keep from falling for her himself.

Kasia and Zan become fast friends, but true healing and justice might cost more than either of them is willing to pay.

Review: When God Made You (Children’s Book)

April 5, 2017 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

About the Book

When God Made YouYOU, you… God thinks about you.
God was thinking of you long before your debut.

From early on, children are looking to discover their place in the world and longing to understand how their personalities, traits, and talents fit in. Knowing that they are deeply loved and a unique creation in our big universe is certain to help them spread their wings and fly.   
 
Written in playful, charming rhyme and brought to life with vivid, fantastical illustrations, young readers will be encouraged and excited to learn about their own special gifts and how they fit into God’s divine plan as they grow, explore, and begin create for themselves.
 
‘Cause when God made YOU, somehow God knew
That the world needed someone exactly like you!

 

My Review

I had heard so many wonderful comments about this book from others, when the opportunity to get my hands on it came up, I grabbed it. And I was not disappointed.

This book is filled with well-flowing rhymes that give the book a sing-song, nursery rhyme flow from Matthew Paul Turner and beautiful, whimsical artwork from David Catrow. It’s sure to become a bedtime favorite for the little ones in your home.

Readers get a sense of this little girl’s creativity, her impishness, and her heart.

But the most important thing about this book is the message of how God looks out for each and everyone of His children. How He design each person to be an individual.

My Rating:

Amazon/CBD

Owlegories DVD (Product Review)

June 8, 2016 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Let me start with a little disclaimer. While I have spent time with young children in roles such as Sunday school teacher, baby sitter and aunt, I do not have any children of my own so my opinion may be a little skewed.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk about Owlegories Vol 1, a DVD series created by Thomas and Julie Boto as a fun way to teach their kids about God and his love. The first volume has three episodes (about 20 minutes) long: The Sun, The Seed, and The Water. In each episode, the owlets are sent on a mission to find different items while at the same time finding ways attributes of God are like those things.

Each of the animated episodes ends with a 5-10 minute talk from a special guest. I think the creators intentionally did this for the benefit of anyone watching these DVDs with the little ones as they go into much more depth than the actual cartoons.

While at times it felt like the creators were trying to a little too hard with the humor, I know kids well enough to know they’ll think parts of Owlegories are hilarious. But even more important, we all know children will watch things they like over and over and over again. With these DVDs not only are they getting wholesome entertainment but they are memorizing Scripture and learning more about the Lord.

Interested in purchasing this DVD for your household? Well, the good news is that FishFlix is offering a $5.00 coupon when you join their mailing list. You can join here or text 5-GIFT to 44222.

But hold on another minute. If Owlegories doesn’t interest you, you’re still going to want to sign up for the $5.00 coupon because at FishFlix, there are Christian movies available to purchase for the entire family. Children’s programs, comedy, music, and family entertainment (including some hits such as When the Game Stands Tall and God’s Not Dead 2) can all be purchased from FishFlix.
