Historia
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Fantastic charming sweet fairytale.
Revisado: 08-18-23
I love this charming story. It masterfully deals with the reality and darkness of life while remaining hopeful and sweet! It educates the reader in historical political dynamics and the realities of power struggles, yet still has a kind and endearing fairy tale ending because of the author's narration. The ending reminds me of some of the strongest people's survival stories, as well as the hope, forgiveness, peace and gratefulness they embody.

Historia
God Sees the Truth, But Waits engages a subject that would have suited Dostoyevsky. But Dostoyevsky would have written it with a tone of fist-waving anger and frustration, while Tolstoy wrote this story with an accepting, non-violent attitude toward the grievances described. The protagonist has been wrongly accused of murder, separated from his family for 26 years, and by circumstance meets the real murderer in Siberia.

Rooted in God's promises and hope
Revisado: 12-09-21
The main premise of the book is that God makes all thing good in this time. We can rest in the promises and goodness of God. Suffering is real, but faith will help us see through the darkest of times and let us rest and depend on God's protection and guidance.
The book gives a much needed emphasis on God's promises.

Historia
In this sequel to The Princess and the Goblin, Curdie has returned to his life as a miner and has dismissed the supernatural happenings of the past, believing them to have been a dream. When Curdie callously wounds a pigeon, his conscience leads him to Princess Irene's mystical great-great-grandmother for help. She has him plunge his hands into a pile of rose petals that burns like fire. Extraordinarily, this grants him the power to see what kind of "animal" a person is at heart.

Historia
Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom (April 15, 1892 - April 15, 1983) was a Dutch watchmaker who worked with her father Casper and other family members to help, reportedly, 800 Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in their home. Eventually, the family was caught; ten Boom was arrested, sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, and released after 10 months due to a clerical error. Later in life, ten Boom wrote The Hiding Place, a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she was able to find hope while imprisoned.

She gives strong reminders with humility and humor and love. Her faith is a reminder of the power of prayer, and her call too have our lives completely and fully devote to God is something that is a much-needed reminder in our attention divided world.

amazing story of adventure, risk, and love
Revisado: 03-18-19
What a reminder of God's love and how He is more than enough in the worst of situations. It gives me hope and reminds me that my purpose is to serve and not for self gain. I pray that Darlene's service and passion for God will be reflected in all our lives from the mundane, to the world of finance, to the craziness of startups, to home life and friends. She was an adventurer, minister, and loving presence.

Surprising, grounded and inspiring
Revisado: 03-15-19
I was not expecting to be interested in reading this book until I listen to an excerpt. after going through the book it is surprisingly interesting. It is easy to identify with Michelle's lower to middle class background and striving to get a good education and having a focus on family. it's refreshing to hear such good family values held in conjunction with two working professional parents. This is truly a story of the opportunities available in the US and what makes the country great.

Excellent story about passion and principle to serve the country and do the right thing. Comey is serving a higher God. The story is grounded in reality and facts. Good job Comey. Thank you for being an example of service to a team aimed at serving a nation. Your heart, hope, and determination in the face of obstacles is true courage. Thank you for your care, compassion, kindness, and willingness to face adversity for the sake of what is good.
