The Story of Water: God at Work in the Bible's Watery Tales

Review: The Story of Water - Caroline Saunders and Illustrated by Jade Van Der Zalm - October 2022

I have to admit I didn't pay much attention when I got this book as my first initial idea was the story of water, which was more an environmental type read. It wasn't until I opened the first page that I realised it was more of a Christian-based picture book when the first page stated that God created Water. As a Christian, I enjoyed reading this book as it takes us through the many miracles of the bible and events that take place in and around water. We have the story of Noah's Ark, Moses leading his people out of Egypt with the oceans parting to the wandering in the desert and the people getting thirsty and God making the water appear from the stone. At Jesus's baptism, then when he walked on water and then told his men to stay calm during the storms. Where there is water, there is life, and this book ended by reminding readers of the bible verse in Revelations 22v17 which reads "Let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who desires take the water of life freely". Then it has references to the bible stories touched on in the book and where you can read more about them in the bible e.g. Noah and the Ark in Genesis 6-8 and finally some reflection questions and great ones to start family discussions about obeying God, doing God's will and praying to him.
This book is the perfect read for children aged 5-12 years old as can be looked at in different depths.

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
