“Aligned with Christ” by Toni Sorenson *book review & giveaway*


“Aligned with Christ” by Toni Sorenson

I loved reading the introduction to this book and the differences between the 3 books this author has written: Defined by Christ, Refined by Christ and now Aligned with Christ. “In the following pages you will discover hope and guidance-not from me, but from the teachings of the Savior- on how you can align your life with His will…” The author spent over 4 years studying to write this book as a “guide to remind us what we can and should do to stay in tune with His Spirit and will for our lives.”

This book was wonderfully written and includes practice advice, scriptures and stories. I found it very uplifting and enjoyable to read. She focuses alot on attitude, belief, our words, focusing and taking action. I highly recommend reading it!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

“Short Investigations” by Clair M. Poulson


“Short Investigations” by Clair M. Poulson

I have read several books by this author, but I had a hard time getting into the storyline of this book. The book description sounded great but I had a hard time taking the main characters Max and Peaches seriously because I felt like their names were silly-like a joke. I also felt like the main character Peaches was pretty juvenile when dealing with their client Rhett who was being charged for murder.

This book wasn’t for me, although I’m sure it will appeal to some. Like I said, I have read several books by this author in the past and have absolutely loved them. Hopefully I will enjoy the next book better than I did this one.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:
In the sleepy town of Heber, a strange 911 call is made to report an unthinkable crime: someone has murdered a woman . . . and her body has been found in Rhett Ketchum’s barn. Rhett, a well-known rodeo cowboy, is placed firmly at the top of the suspect list—the only problem is, he’s innocent. As officers search tirelessly for the evidence needed to lock him up, Rhett takes matters into his own hands.
Max and Patches Fisher are the father-daughter duo behind the unconventional PI firm Short Investigations, and they agree to undertake the task of proving Rhett’s innocence. Soon the list of suspects begins to grow, and Rhett feels a glimmer of hope—and an undeniable attraction to Patches. But when the officers on the case become targets themselves, it seems they may be the ones in need of protection. As events take a deadly turn, it’s up to Max and Patches to uncover the truth before time runs out.

Journey to Jericho (The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls, Book 4) by M. J. Thomas GIVEAWAY


Journey to Jericho (The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls, Book 4) by M. J. Thomas
My son has been months to get book number 4 in this series and was SO excited when it came in the mail?

Did you see our “unboxing” of the book on Instagram here? https://www.instagram.com/p/BmOsaZ_l94w/?taken-by=empowermoms

My son (age 8) LOVES this series because it’s a fun to read, action packed adventure with Peter and Mary. He has read all of them so far. He said his favorite part of this book is “when the walls of Jericho fell down”. He finished the book the first day and has read it several times since then.

As a mom, I love that these chapter books are age appropriate, I don’t have to preview the content before he reads it, and it reinforces bible stories that he learns at church.

The author does a great job bringing bible stories to life and making it a fun adventure for kids! Geared towards ages 6-9. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this series!
