Review: Walk Like a Warrior: Inspirational True Stories of God's Encouragement on the Trail Less-Traveled

Walk Like a Warrior: Inspirational True Stories of God's Encouragement on the Trail Less-Traveled by Shara Bueler-Repka
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Available at Amazon

I received a free copy of this book from the website Interviews and Reviews and the author. What follows is an honest review.

Devotional books like this can be a mixed bag. Some can be so deep and spiritual that they are hard to understand. Others can be so light and fluffy you wonder what message they were trying to get across, though you find it entertaining. This author seems to give us the middle ground. Theology that seems to be balanced and understandable as well as real stories from her life and some of the people she knows.

Each chapter is a detail part of her life and the lessons that God has taught her, or reminded her of. They revolve around a part of her life or a series of events that are tied together. In each one, God provides for what she needs. The stories are not chronological, but I have noticed that they seem to get a little deeper in the inspiration it teaches.

All age groups could be able to read this and I would recommend for those who have a love of the outdoors and of horses.

Review: Passport through Darkness: A True Story of Danger and Second Chances

Passport through Darkness: A True Story of Danger and Second Chances by Kimberly L. Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Available at Amazon
What an amazing story about an amazing woman. It opens with a suburban housewife and ends with a woman that is broken and ready to be used by God.

Kimberly Smith has written of her life and her attempt to rescue the children of a country torn by war. But she is not only trying to keep the children safe but minister to the people of the area. What she went through without the aid of her husband, who had diabetes and had to remain home as it got worse, becomes a secret that she cannot tell others, not even her husband. Secrets, however, lead you further into darkness.

I would recommend this book to older teens through adult. There is one sequence that is rather strong in describing an evil act. There is also much death in the book that I feel that children and young teens would not be able to process very well.
