Exploring Faith & Science with Indescribable Kids

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. The Wonder of Creation: 100 More Devotions About God and Science I admire how Indescribable Kids & Co. has combined faith and science in this new book. Science fascinates our children, and they constantly question, “Why?” about everything.  My son’s questions seem to be never ending!  This book attempts to address such questions and in the process, it also teaches some basic science.

Year of Yes

My rating 5 out of 5. I have wondered about her greatness and imagination all the time. This is a very interesting piece presented with self-deprecating humor.  She is having an engaging conversation with the reader throughout.  Her style seemed to resonate with the mental talk she portrays on her shows sometimes, blunt, deep, and to the point.  The talks that sometimes serve as a preamble or an impactful conclusion. Plot It was revealing to note that she had fears around public presence and this book starts with how a family situation served as a reflection point for her. She

I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

My rating: 1 out of 5 stars. Well, the words below are just my opinion and I don’t want to churn any sentiments here. I feel the book was a bit ahead in her lifetime and the memoir does not make a compelling read. Many loose ends like -what happened to the other two who were shot in the same incident as Malala? How have they been taken care of in their home country? While only Malala got airlifted and then totally relocated to the UK with her family joining her, thereafter. Is only spreading awareness while sitting in a

Self Development – Light Humor

Eat, Pray and Love.   My rating: 3 out of 5 stars. This book got me glued at the beginning for the fact it was delivered in a brutally honest manner with self-deprecating humor infused in between. I do like the way she questioned some of her beliefs, rants about them and then I would not call them repetitive but reflecting on how her mind interprets or travels around some of those painful areas. It’s difficult to jump into the unknown and take a break when you are heartbroken, I appreciate her for that… She set out on the most

When Breath Becomes Air

When Breath Becomes Air My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. This book perhaps is the only one I can recall to date that made me cry. I mean really cry. It’s a piece of work, a real account of a dying person with a tough epilogue. When you start the book you don’t know Paul K. Midway.  Past reading through the middle of this book, you feel that you know him well and before you reach the end, you want to change the end. The degree of self-reflection that he has articulated over the pages is awesome. Excerpts on
