Jazz, Java & Jesus
Review: Jazz , Java and Jesus - Aleysha Proctor - December 2009
Are you looking for the perfect devotional guide , something to help you move closer in your relationship with God as well as something nice to soothe your soul besides reading all those Chicken Soup books. Aiming for something more directed to the Christian audience ?
Well, look no further as I present to you - the perfect solution "Jazz, Java and Jesus" by Aleysha Proctor . It is a collection of daily devotions that are only one-two pages long, so not too overwhelming but just enough to get you thinking. Each devotion comes with a memory verse and then a ancedote or story about the verse and then for all those who love to write notes and jot down ideas from what they have just reflected on , their is an included space after each devotion for those handwritten notes of God.

Why is it called Jazz, Java and Jesus ?
Jazz, Java & Jesus. Why Jazz? Jazz, because I love smooth jazz music. Many times, it’s soothing jazz music that ushers me into worshipping the Lord over other kinds of music. In 1 Samuel 16, King Saul is distressed and troubled and one of his servants tells him that he needs David, the shepherd boy, to come and play his harp for him and then he’ll be at peace. The Bible tells us that Saul would be “refreshed and well” after David played for him.
Why Java? Java, because I love coffee too! It’s times when I’m having a cup of coffee (decaf, of course!) that I can relax and think of the goodness of the Lord. Even if I’m having coffee with friends, I’m usually meditating and talking to God. Jesus told the Samaritan woman in John 4 that true worshippers won’t worship God at a certain time or place, but will worship Him in spirit and in truth (all the time) because He is a spirit and seeks to be worshipped all the time.
Why Jesus? WHO ELSE?! Because I love Jesus, because He’s the Keeper of my soul, because He’s my Savior, because He’s the only true and living God, because He’s my Healer, because He’s my Friend, because He comforts me, because He prays for me, because He holds my future. Do I need to go
on?

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
