He Said, She Said: A Devotional Guide to Cultivating a Life of Passion: How Newlyweds, Couples and Singles Can Draw Closer to God and Their Mate Through Daily Devotions by Eddie JonesLighthouse PublishingDISCLAIMER (from Cindy & Eddie): “These devotions are not meant to be shocking or disrespectful but rather a transparent look into the hearts of two individuals seeking to love and worship God: flaws and all. Some find our insights too raw, honest and revealing. But sin nurtured in secret leads to deception and death. Confession, accountability and a call to repentance are the hallmarks of spiritual growth. From this we will not retreat. Just know, this is NOT your grandma’s devotional.” Do you sense something vital missing from your relationship with your spouse, children and God? Are you easily distracted by the busyness of life and left feeling drained, bored, and discouraged? Do you sense you were meant to enjoy the richness of life, but spend your days feasting on crumbs? This heart-warming collection of stories (54 in all) will inspire you to reach for the true source of joy: a life lived for and through God. These deeply personal (and sometimes humorous) devotions offer biblical insights and spiritual truths from the unique perspective of one man and one woman. Learn to cultivate a life of passion. Perfect for your quiet time, these moments of meditative reflection illustrate the importance of allowing God to work within you and speak through you. No matter if you are newlyweds or newly retired, this book of devotions will help you put the spark back into your love life and explore the precious relationships God desires for you. He Said, She Said touches the heart, tickles the funny bone and brings you to your knees in worship.

Church of the Doubting Saint Thomas — Church, It’s Habit Forming The Dark Tower - The Dark Tower VII - The Epic Journey Draws to a Close: Complete the Quest (The Dark Tower, VII) by Stephen KingHodder & StoughtonCharlie and the Chocolate Factory Colour and Draw Book (Film Tie in Colour & Draw Book) by Roald DahlLadybird BooksA black and white colour and draw book for the film tie-in. Draw yourself into the magical Inventing Room, design your favourite sweets, help the Oompa-Loompas fish for chocolate in the chocolate river and take a ride on the great glass elevator in this fabulous book that provides hours of creative fun. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, along with Roald Dahl's other tales for younger readers, make him a true star of children's literature. Dahl seems to know just how far to go with his oddball fantasies; in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, for example, nasty Violet Beauregarde blows up into a blueberry from sneaking forbidden chewing gum, and bratty Augustus Gloop is carried away on the river of chocolate he wouldn't resist. In fact, all manner of disasters can happen to the most obnoxiously deserving of children because Dahl portrays each incident with such resourcefulness and humor. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a singular delight, crammed with mad fantasy, childhood justice and revenge, and as much candy as you can eat. The book is also available in Spanish (Charlie y la Fabrica de Chocolate). (The suggested age range for this book is 9-12, but nobody this reviewer has met can resist it, including New York City bellhops, flight attendants, and grumpy teenagers.)

Luck of the Draw (Delphine Publications Presents) by Anna BlackDelphine PublicationsFriends come and go, but the good ones are hard to let go. Kennedy and her best friend Cherae were like "two peas in a pod," Kennedy's daddy would say because they were tighter than a large man in a medium suit jacket. Although they were totally different in size, personality and back ground, they had been friends and loved each other since the second grade. Tables turned for their friendship when that evil word 'jealously' came between them over a sexy club owner named Julian Roberson. One night led this duo down an ugly road that Kennedy never wanted to travel on and a road Cherae never imagined she'd lose on. Cherae opened up a can of pain on Kennedy and after over twenty-five years of friendship, one man caused it to fall apart. Not knowing what to do or who to trust, Kennedy sought support from her true friend Teresa, who had tried to warn her about her life long pal Cherae many times before. When the smoke clears and the truth finally comes to light, they learn a lesson in friendship, love and loyalty.
