Decision Points Book Review




I was excited to review the book Decision Points by George W. Bush. I have always wondering what a President thinks and what the life of a President is really like. I found this book very captivating. Our former President has a sense of humor and I enjoyed reading this book by him. 

This book is about numerous decisions that he had to make before, during and after being the President.  As one who does not know much about politics, I was very intrigued by the many different points that he talked about in his book. 

I also liked that some of the decisions he talked about are decisions that people can face whether they are the President or not. Overall this is a great book. It really takes you into his life and what he was thinking before, during and after making a choice. I think that it really helped me better understand him. Even if you are not a Bush supporter, it is still interesting to know what goes on in the mans head! 

I would recommend this book, it is a great read and very interesting.

Heaven is for Real for Kids Book Review

Heaven is for Real for Kids told by Colton Burpo is an amazing book. It is the story of one little boys death and what his experience in Heaven was like. He was brought back to life, but what he describes while in Heaven is so amazing.

The book is a very fast read. I got it on my E-reader. I wish it would have been available in print, only because the pictures are black and white on my Nook. However the details described in the book make it very easy to imagine your own pictures. 
I think this would be an excellent book for children to learn about Heaven and what they will have there. It is also a great way to talk about the passing of a loved one, or pet. I think after reading this book to your child they would no longer be so afraid for whomever is now in Heaven.

I would recommend this book! It was a great read, while my daughter is 3 and does not fully understand death, she did enjoy the book.
