Mickey on the Move by Michelle Wagner was bright, beautiful, and a book I believe should be in every home/school. It emphasized that we can overcome anything that gets thrown in our path whether it is a disability like Mickey had or a bad grade in class we can work to find solutions to help us have a normal way of life. I loved how Mickey’s mom was not fazed by her son’s diagnosis but immediately started thinking of ways to help his life be as normal as possible and learning sign language right along with him. The illustrations were detailed and helped add more dimension to the story as you could more easily visualize what Mickey was going through. Plus, I liked the look and feel of the paper used, it is a strong durable paper that will last through many hands reading it. The verbiage used in this story is geared towards 3rd-5th grade reading level based on word choice, and paragraph structure. However, I think it still would be fun for even younger readers to follow along with.

I sincerely enjoyed this book and give it 4 out of 5 stars.

From Sky to Sky was such a different story, from the literal first page you are immersed in this world where a few people have been blessed, or cursed, with long life. Amanda G. Stevens took me on a journey of questioning why we live each day as if we have an infinite amount when we truly do not know how many days we get to live. She presented the gospel through her characters in a very meaningful and honest way, not shying away from the struggles people face. I thought that Zac was an interesting character and that he showed a lot of caring given his situation. The other secondary characters were also well developed, and I hope to learn more about them in the books that follow, as this book left me with a sense of just beginning to know their characters.

I would highly recommend reading this series in order as From Sky to Sky does drop you into an already moving plot, that is easier to understand after having read the first book. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the creative storyline, the consistent characters, and for making me think about how fragile life really is.

What a neat book!

I loved all the different perspectives in this book. Each couple’s story was interesting to read, they all had different experiences, and they overcame different things. What I enjoyed though, was reading about how they interacted with each other. Each couple’s conversation was uplifting and an interesting view into the lives of people who have been married for many years. It was not just pastors either, it was regular people, from all different walks of life. From Pastors, Military, and remarried couples, each couple all had some great stories to share. Marriage Matters was written almost in an interview type-style and lead to some good conversations between my husband and I. Truly a good book to read when you want to see some different perspectives on the topic of married life.

My favorite quote:

“God moved us around to different states and cultures, refining us, to make us fit for the ministries He had for us all along, and as we walked the path, He gave us many experiences to grow us.”

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the great conversations, the interactions between the couples, and for the wealth of information packed in between these pages.
