The first thing that attracted me to this book was the cover, loved it.
After reading the book I found that the character on the front of the book certainly lived up to the character in the book, Captian Samuel. The book is definitely a God can do all things when you rely on Him type of book that I love. We always need that reminder. I will definitely be reading more books by Michelle Griep.

I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing, the opinions expressed within are my own.

Brandon Routh recommended Braveheart (1995) in Movies (curated)

 
Braveheart (1995)
Braveheart (1995)
1995 | Drama, History, War

"Need I say more? No matter what you or I may think about the film’s lead actor and director, this film has always inspired great emotion for me—love, passion, justice, freedom, unity. Epic fight scenes, great scope and cinematography and beautiful evocative score. It has a great mix of levity mixed in with the true gravity of the situation. There are also so many amazing performances from supporting characters and I most definitely had crushes on both Catherine McCormack and Sophie Marceau for several years after. Freedooommm!"

One of my favourite shows
This show is always an instant watch when each season comes out. I did start watching it for the story but now it's mainly the characters. It knows how to mix tension and horror with awkward teenager moments as well as tell an interesting mystery.
My only complaint is that the second and third seasons aren't as strong as the first, some beats are missed but even then, it's still an awesome show.

The Classic
Who hasn't played monopoly? It's a fun, classic board game that almost everybody has heard of and attempted at some point. It takes a bit to get set up with your money, but after that, it's just rolling dice and traveling around the board. You're either buying or paying rent on properties you land on, you can trade with your friends, and it feels great when you finally win after playing for literal HOURS. The drawbacks, of course, is that you don't always finish the game because who has a full day to set aside to play a board game? It can get boring after a while. It can also get tense when your friends are building hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place, and all you have is Baltic Avenue and St. James Place.
However, if you have some time to kill and some sturdy, strong friendships you want to test, I highly recommend playing Monopoly.
