Reviews by Janae DeWeese
The Word of Promise New Testament
On 3/10 Janae DeWeese wrote: We recently got The Word of Promise audio Bible and listened to most of it. Neither of us are fans of audio books nor do we particularly like listening to radio theater. Maybe that has something to do with our age. Regardless, it was fun listening to Jim Caviezel reprise his role as Jesus. This audio ... Great to listen to, but I'd still rather watch a movie of the Gospels.
The White Horse King
On 12/12 Janae DeWeese wrote: I’m not one for reading biographies, so it was with some reluctance that I agreed to read The White Horse King: The Life of Alfred the Great by Benjamin Merkle. My intention in reading it was to try something different. I was not disappointed. The book doesn’t come across as a biography so much ... Pleasently surprising read
Green
On 10/17 Janae DeWeese wrote: I just finished reading Ted Dekker's Green. I've already read the other three books that preclude this one. Green doesn't quite live up to what the other books did. It still seems like a Dekker book, but somehow lacks the character depth the other books have. Maybe that's because there's too many characters. ... Green
Plain Promise
On 9/15 Janae DeWeese wrote: I'm a fan of Christian Fiction, specifically historical and/ or romance. I love how fast and easy it is to read. Plus, I can get lost in a book for hours at a time. Plain Promise is similar to other Christian fiction about Amish life. The plot is basic and easy to figure out: awkward or sad circumstances ... Plain Promise - Book Review
Fearless
On 9/8 Janae DeWeese wrote: I like Max Lucado and his books. He has a good way of making concepts and ideas jump out of scripture. After reading “Fearless”, I have a better understanding of how much emphasis Jesus placed on not being afraid. There are a lot of verses that deal with fear; most of them are quotes by Jesus. ... Fearless
The Hole in Our Gospel
On 7/13 Janae DeWeese wrote: I just finished “The Hole in Our Gospel” by Richard Stearns. Richard is the president of World Vision, an international ministry that reaches out to the poor and impoverished people of various nations. I wasn’t excited about reading another book that made me feel bad about what I wasn’t doing ... The Hole in Our Gospel - Book Review
The Noticer
On 4/27 Janae DeWeese wrote: What an interesting novel. I read this book because of the amount of promotion & “hype” in was receiving. I can now see why. Although written like fiction, it read more like a series of parables or short stories with a common thread. In Orange Beach, Alabama a mysterious stranger intervenes into ... The Noticer by Andy Andrews
In the Footsteps of Paul
On 4/10 Janae DeWeese wrote: "In the Footsteps of Paul" is a photographic compilation ideal for a coffee table book. It is a great visual or reference book. Each page is a current day photograph of a place where Paul journeyed hundreds of years ago. The scriptural and historical references make it easy to understand where Paul ... Book Reviews
Skeeter and the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure (DVD)
On 3/19 Janae DeWeese wrote: This movie is about 40 minutes long and focuses on how special each person is. God designed each person with unique qualities, but when we constantly compare ourselves to others the uniqueness of the qualities begins to fade. It uses the example of comparing ourselves to siblings, and understanding that ... Movie Review of Skeeter & the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure
