Book Rating
Life’s Captivity is inspirational and encouraging. The writing is lyric and rhythmic, and the pacing is relaxed enough to be calm, but fast enough to keep you interested. It is very comforting and uplifting, and a beautiful picture of how Christ works in our lives to make us more beautiful, to bring the lost to Him, and to glorify Himself.
Content: There was some language in certain parts of the book, because of the character who was speaking. I found it appropriate for the situation.
Recommendation: Ages 14+

When an artist releases an amazing release and a new one comes along you can't help but have some trepidation. Is it going to be a disappointment?

California is Cold is a different release compared to Enter the Circle, it's more electronic and less folky but it still has the deep bass voice rapping relaxed over superbly crafted beats. Should I say more or shall I just tell you to out "Iron Out The Maiden" on on YouTube and then tell me if I should have written more to persuade you... No didn't think so.

When I saw the subtitles by heart dropped and I thought I’d made a huge mistake. But what followed was something completely different, after a few minutes I didn’t even particularly notice that it was subtitled and just enjoyed the movie. It’s about 4 teachers who set out to research whether keeping your blood alcohol level above 0.5% can better your life. We follow them through the whole experiment where they find at first that it makes them more relaxed whilst also being more focused and improving their lives dramatically, to then seeing them when it becomes borderline alcoholism.

"I tend not to read anyone unless they’ve been buried, but this is a book that reminds us of the most important value: ‘You are not a consumer, you are a creative person.’ As someone who was bought up in Africa with no advertising at all, I find it striking how relaxed my attitude is compared to lots of people brought up in the western world. How to be Free is a joyful call to arms to care less about materialism: ‘Learn how to whistle, throw your watch away, forget career, spend a summer reading books.'"
