Jack Daniel's Spirit of Tennessee Cookbook, Volume 1
On 11/11 Janice Eicholtz wrote: This book, Jack Daniel's Spirit of Tennessee Cookbook, sparked my interest. The reasons are two-fold. First reason: Jack Daniel's was the first alcoholic beverage I ever consumed. My older sister kept a bottle at her house. I would stay up late and drink a tiny bit with my Pepsi and feel very grown-up. ... A Review: Jack Daniel's Cookbook

Real Church
On 8/18 Janice Eicholtz wrote: Real Church:Does It Exist? Can I Find It? by Larry CrabbTo say this book is great is the understatement of the year. It is so thought challenging. I am in a tough church place right now. It has much less to do with my church-which is awesome-and much more to do with me. My personal struggle with ... Real Church-A Review

Word of Promise Next Generation New Testament MP3 Set
On 4/30 Janice Eicholtz wrote: I wanted to love this Audio Bible. Mostly, I wanted my kids to love it. I wanted them to read the cover and see all the cool stars and be enthralled.

The Noticer
On 4/30 Janice Eicholtz wrote: This book is subtitled, "Sometimes, all a person needs is a little perspective." Such wisdom is simple but true. We as Americans don't have any perspective because we are too wrapped up in our own world-our own hurts and dreams. We often forget that there are people in the world too hungry to even ...

The American Patriot's Almanac
On 1/5 Janice Eicholtz wrote: A different kind of history book!!The American Patriot's Almanac by William J. Bennett and John T.E. Cribb is an awesome resource. It breaks history down by the date that the events happened. This means every day you can read what happened in history. As a homeschooler, this leaves the door wide open ... A Book Review
In The Shadow Of The Sun King
On 12/7 Janice Eicholtz wrote: I was leery of this book because so many Christian authors just throw in a few Bible studies for the characters, a prayer or two, some references to God and call it Christian fiction. That just doesn't make for good reading as far as I am concerned. This book, however, shows the crisis of faith of the ... Book Review: In The Shadow of the Sun King
