Cassie Osbourne (6 KP) rated Selected to Live in Books
Nov 9, 2018
Interesting and heartfelt (as all Holocaust stories are) but towards the end it got very preachy. I commend this woman for being able to stay optimistic and keep hold of her faith after all that she went through, but when the words ÔGod is goodÕ are on every few pages I tend to lose interest.
Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
This story is just amazing. It's hard to read about so tragic an incident, especially when it happened to people whose only purpose for being there was to help rebuild land and lives. However, it has a wonderful message of hope, faith, and forgiveness, and I would recommend it to anyone, and certainly to those who are, or wish to become, missionaries. The men and women involved could have given up and/or lost their faith, both in God and humanity, but they didn't, and it seems they're all stronger for it. I'm very glad this book was written, and I look forward to passing it on to others.

Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated The Secret Paris Cinema Club in Books

After ''Ingredients of love'', I thought there couldn't be a better love book in Paris. I was so much wrong. This book... This book.. is the most amazing thing I've read in maybe years. Melanie reminds me of myself. Every single part of her. Her character has made me want to read the book one more time and another and another. And Alain,oh my God.. His will to find her left me breathless. His resistance to Solene, his love for Melanie and his strong faith, even when sometimes even he lost faith.. At the end, I realized that everything remains in the hands of Destiny. That little chance we all get in life, and our choice whether we'll make it right or wrong. Amazing.. <3

Most of the laughs in The Little Hours are derived from watching women of the faith curse continuously and engage in the bawdiest of behavior, and the schtick admittedly begins to wear thin after awhile. But the third act..

The Craggus (360 KP) rated Hellboy (2019) in Movies
Apr 13, 2019
Well I’ll be damned. Hellboy (2019) is a special form of purgatory.
Hellboy (2019) is notably the movie Ed Skrein got the best notices of his entire career for – and he’s not actually in it. Unfortunately, it’s probably going to be the only good reviews this botched, bad-faith reboot is likely to get...

This is a sweeping novel about a TB hospital Louisville, Kentucky, which takes place in 1929 during the height of the epidemic, and the man who brought both his past, his faith and his music to treating his patents.

Ross (3282 KP) rated Elephant by The White Stripes in Music
May 11, 2020 (Updated Apr 16, 2021)
Rolling Stone's 390th greatest album of all time (449th in the 2020 list)
Great album by the White Stripes, featuring the anthemic Seven Nation Army (used as many football / leftist politician chants), and the excellent Hardest Button to Button and Girl You Have No Faith In Medicine. The rest of the album is pretty decent too.

Good movie
I enjoyed this movie, but it's not one I see myself watching multiple times. The story follows a woman grieving the loss of her husband. Before his death she was heavily involved with her church, but her grief causes her to turn from God. This movie focuses on having faith in God, amd helping others while they are struggling with there faith. The church community played an active role in the story, and overall I think the movie did a good job showing grief. At times I was worried that the romance would be used as an easy way out, but in the end it was done in a way that didn't feel forced or rushed. If you are a fan of religious movies this is one you should consider watching.
