Fearless
On 12/7 Akaya Lee wrote: Fearless by Max Lucado is another watered down book that doesn’t go much deeper than the surface. There are a lot of good things said in this book, don’t get me wrong.

The Word of Promise The Gift of Psalms
On 1/17 Akaya Lee wrote: The Gift of Psalms is a wonderful addition to the Word of Promise products. I am personally very excited that Word of Promise has done something from the Old Testament.
