February 5, 2015 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Brown Girl DreaminIts February everyone!

You know what that means…it’s Black History month.

As a new booktuber, I am very excited to be able to join in and discuss the books that I am reading.

The book of the month is “Brown Girl Dreaming” by Jacqueline Woodson.

I am very excited about reading it.  I have heard some really great reviews about this book.  I will also do a review of it once I am finished.

I must say…this is a very beautiful book…just look at the cover.

I hope that you will join in with me…

Booktube Mini Review: Agenda 21

February 5, 2015 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

I recently finished reading “Agenda 21” by Glenn Beck and I decided to do a mini review of the book on youtube.  I will be doing a full review of the book, but for now, here are my thoughts on the book.

Can I Really Trust The Bible: Book Review

September 23, 2014 By Mrs. Mom 5 Comments

Can I Really Trust The Bible
Can I really trust the Bible? by Barry Cooper

When I originally sat down to start reading this book, I thought that I wouldn’t like it.  I wasn’t sure if it was one of those books that appeared to be pro-Christian, only for the reader to find out that it was very anti-Christian.  I thought that I would have to refute many of the author’s points in my review.  Needless to say, I was on guard.

From the beginning of the book. Barry Cooper jumps right in to the position that many believers, whether new or seasoned, find themselves in…trying not to be a doubting Thomas.  In today’s society we have all met someone that seems more educated than we are.  They seem to have thought harder and longer about the Bible and its ability to be trusted.  These individuals seem to study the history of the Bible, its compilation, its human authors, and specific portions that inspire…doubt.  All of these things put together can leave a believer feeling overwhelmed and at a standstill.  Yet Barry Cooper takes advantage of one thing that many believers forget,  the innate human ability to ask questions. In fact, God wants us to ask Him questions.

As I read through this book, I realized that it was an easy read.  It was not so complicated that it would turn away a new or unbeliever, but still filled with enough “meat” to fill the desires of a seasoned one.  I found that this book fed my intellectual desire to answer the questions that I had been asked over the years.  I had personally asked some of these questions and researched others.  Yet I found myself amazed at Mr. Cooper’s ability to sufficiently answer the question in just 80 pages.  When I say answer, I really mean that he answers the question, offers an example, and a reference…just in case you want to do some research for yourself.

I have heard some of the very statements that he used in the book given as reasons why the Bible could not be trusted.  I have to admit that I found myself smiling as he answered them and did not shy away from the questions that challenge our faith.  As I finished the book, it felt like I had just read a page turning novel.  Better yet, it felt like I knew Barry Cooper and we were discussing these questions together.  I know that sounds a bit outlandish, but he really addresses topics that I have only discussed with my closest family members, friends, spiritual leaders, and God.

This is a book that I am proud to have sitting on my bookshelf.  I would give it or recommend it to another person.  I would let my children read it.  I wish I had it years ago.  It would have prepared me for the many questions that I would hear as a believer. I have studied these questions and have learned a lot over the years, but I am very thankful that I received this complementary book from the publisher through Cross Focused Reviews to review.  I look forward to getting more books from The Good Book Company.  Judging from this book, they have a lot to offer.

Below you will find the Booktube video that I posted on Youtube.

Booktube Video 1

September 17, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

If you recently read my post on “what’s new” you know that I was very excited about becoming a booktuber.  It is official.  I am one.

I did my first video earlier this week.

This particular video was on the books that I have recently purchased, the books that I was sent to review, and the book that I am currently reading.

The book that I am currently reading is also the book that the Christian Moms Read book club on Goodreads is reading until the end of October.

Check out the video.  Like, share, and leave your comments.  I hope you enjoy it.  Oh, and I promise that it will get better…it has to. 🙂

What’s New?! Books…

September 14, 2014 By Mrs. Mom 2 Comments

Over the past month, I’ve been doing some thinking.

That has brought me to this point.

I am so excited about what I am about to start doing.

What?

Are you on the edge of your seat?  🙂

Well, here it goes…

I am going to join the community of BookTubers…

YYYYYAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

What does that mean?

Well, it means that I am about to dive deep into a community of people that love talking about books on YouTube.

I am looking forward to this.  I really enjoy blogging and reading, among many other things.  I’ve been trying to find something to “youtube” about, but I didn’t want it to be about my hair.  You know, I’m an African American woman with natural hair and although I like watching the “natural hair” videos, I decided not to start my own…but I digress. 🙂

BOOKS! BOOKS! MORE, MORE, MORE BOOKS!

Can you feel my excitement?! I’m sure you can.

I’m about to fall out of my seat. 🙂

On another note, about books…

I am also working on a project that has me excited times 2.

I’ll be cataloging my books.

Now for those of you who aren’t that much into books, you are probably thinking…”what? why?”

Well, when we moved, I was able to put my hands on all of my books.  I was able to see what I have, what I haven’t read, and what I want more of.  This led me to a decision that I want to have a system of knowing more about those topics.  I am really looking forward to this project.

YES!!! I AM A BOOK LOVER!!!

I buy books…digital books…hardback books…paperback books…kids books…cookbooks…crafty books…books, books, books….

So stay connected to my Facebook and Twitter page…and my blog,  if you want to see more of what will be happening with me and BOOKS.

I hope you have a blessed day.
