App Rating

The perfect website/app for your inner hoarder. I have always been one to clip things out of magazines and keep them for future reference, or bookmark ALL THE THINGS on my computer, resulting in a massive system of intricately organized files where you could get lost for days. When Pinterest came along it was like finding home - finally a place where I could keep all the things that caught my eye without me actually having to KEEP them. I will say that due to "improvements" they've made it isn't as good as it once was, I believe that their algorithms really limit what you're shown, while before it was really a smorgasbord. That being said, if you have a search term in mind it is easy to lose hours at a time - proceed with caution.

MaryAnn (14 KP) rated God's Book of Proverbs: Biblical Wisdom Arranged by Topic in Books

Mar 5, 2019

God's Book of Proverbs is the book of Proverbs arranged topically all in one little book which allows the reader quick access to look up and apply the knowledge and insights of the scripture.

There is also an article "Connecting Wisdom to Jesus" by Trevin Wax explaining how Jesus is the source where our wisdom comes from. The reader will also find an article on how to read the Proverbs.

The scriptures in God's Book of Proverbs is in the Christian Standard text (CSB); which is easy to read and understandable, and stays as literal as possible to the Bible's original meaning. This is my preferred translation.

This book would be very useful for those sharing God's word, for writing messages, for Bible study and personal reference. Small and light enough to carry with you where ever you go.

Depth of story not associated with Bad Ass-ness (1 more)

Only one reference to peppermint, doesn't warrant the name of the movie as a whole

Solid Suburban Mom Vigilante Bad Ass Movie.

This was a good time. It's like Boondock Saints (minus the style) meets Shooter and Alias. Everyone loves it when untouchable bad guys get their comeuppance. We all like watching the take down of corruption. That said I could've used a little more depth of story. It was mostly by the numbers as far as action films go. I went into this one not knowing the basic premise, my wife picked it and I said ok. Had I known the premise I would've seen most of this movie coming. That's not to say it's less enjoyable, just that it's slightly less awesome. (hence the 7)

David McK (3576 KP) rated The Eagle in the Sand (Eagle, #7) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Last book (so far) in Simon Scarrows Macro and Cato series to include the use of the word 'Eagle' in the title - before the series as a whole was rebranded - and the first book to be set in the Eastern provinces (unlike the earlier novels, set in and around Europe).

The events of this one, instead, take place in Judea, mainly centring around a small fort on the outpost of the Roman Empire. While its not essential to have read the earlier novels, it may help, with the occassional passing reference to earlier events.

I also have to say that it could be easy to take offence at the way certain famous historical personages - one in particular - are portrayed, but at the end of the day, this is only a work of fiction and doesn't purport to be anything but.
