Pillars of Fire

This book is the second in the series and picks up where the first one left off. There is more going on in ths book, and it is more on the suspenseful side. The main character, Vero, has advanced in his abilities and is coming to realize what he will leave behind when he becomes a full fledged angel.

It is an interesting and fascinating read. It is fictional, but it gives an imagined look at what might be going on behind the scenes in the spiritual realm. I don't feel this series does a discredit at all to God or angels, but is a fun and interesting read. The book has good morals and lessons, and very likable characters. A definite recommendation for juvenile readers and adults who enjoy juvenile fiction

Love Letters from the Edge: Meditations for Those Struggling with Brokenness, Trauma, and the Pain of Life

This is a best seller in the making! God has used Shelly and Wanda to tackle tough topics with tender style. Having been through some very traumatic experiences in my life, this book was very cathartic for me. The topics dug deep, while the writing reached in and touched my soul! The candid responses "from God" made me feel as though He was right next to me, gently cradling me in His arms. This is a must read for anyone that has been through sexual abuse, physical or mental abuse, death of a loved one, sickness, really any trial where you have asked God "Where were You?" The Lord will definitely use this book to help those that are hurting through the pain.

DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Europe by DK Publishing

DK guides are excellent resources. I use them mostly for trip planning- the spectacular pictures and wonderfully researched information have never let me down. These travel books would also be perfect for armchair travelers- they really give a feel for the places covered.  I love reading these books, I don't get to travel much and this book lets me feel like I am there.

The Vegiterranean Diet: The New and Improved Mediterranean Eating Plan--with Deliciously Satisfying Vegan Recipes for Optimal Health

I am thrilled to have Julieanna's new book. As Nutrition and Cooking Instructor for PCRM, I try to find new clients all the time but they say to me, "Oh, I already follow the Mediterranean Diet, so I am healthy." We now know that this Mediterranean diet is not the optimal diet and people on this diet eat some good foods but also foods that have no fiber and which still harm our bodies. So now with Vegiterranean Diet, we have all the all the wonderful flavor of the Mediterranean diet without the foods that that cause obesity, heart disease, diabetes.  I love this author and how well this book is written. 

Vegan Pressure Cooking: Delicious Beans, Grains, and One-Pot Meals in Minutes

The idea of pressure cooking has always been intimidating to me. When I learned of this cookbook from JL's blog I decided it was time to give it a try. Now, I couldn't live without one. Jl's recipes are very user friendly. I absolutely love the black eyed pea and collard green chili, and the Chick'n and Lentil Noodle Soup has become a permanent fixture at our Friday night dinner table. The mashed sweet potatoes are quick, healthy and to-die-for. While Root Veggie Tagine sounds exotic, all ingredients can be commonly found in the supermarket or Trader Joes, but tastes like it came from a Middle Eastern city on the other side of the globe.

Healthy Latin Eating: Our Favorite Family Recipes Remixed

This book was excellent and I loved so many recipes in it.  My family enjoyed all the recipes in this book.  I loved the Coconut-Corn Pancakes. The crunchy and sweet combo was divine! They are going to be great nibbles for the upcoming holiday.  I love this author and the recipes he comes up with.  I will be reading more of his titles. 

Nutrition Therapy and Pathophysiology

This book is an excellent read and you learn so much through the pages of this book.  The author of this book has a excellent idea on how nutrition works.  The nutrition class  I took used this text book and it was excellent.  The teacher went over each chapter of this book in detail and I learned so much about how everything works.  I kept this book even after the class and still review it.
