Mayflower Maid is a story told as an old woman reminisces about her voyage and first years in the Plymouth colony. Elizabeth or Bet (as her father calls her) is a spritely young girl at the beginning of the tale. She lives a normal life in a small English town. As her parents religious preference steers away from the Church of England they decide to move to Holland and then to America onboard the Mayflower. Bet survives many adversities to live a prosperous life in America.
As I began reading this intriguing novel I found myself not wanting to put it down. So many details I never think of have been interwoven in this charming tale of the first English Colonist. Beginning a lover of history, the Mayflower Maid gave me whole other perspective on this important time in American history. This is an enjoyably creative story that keeps the reader enraptured until the end.

Women and the Armor of God-Book Review for Dorrance Publishers
Women and the Armor of God
By Patsy R. Mosley
ISBN: 978-0-8059-7197-2

In “Women and the Armor of God” Patsy Mosley uses the comparison of a Roman solider to show the way we should approach our Christianity in today’s world. The author uses various passages from the Bible as her guide to spiritual warfare. She also gives her testimony and a Repentance Guide for those who do not yet know Jesus Christ as their savior.
I found this book a little difficult to follow. It lacked a cohesive message. Women are not mentioned until page 13. There are many references to “the Armor of God”, however the book does not tell how a woman should dress for spiritual warfare. It is more or less a long list of ways to be a good Christian and to be Jesus like. I came out of the book knowing that I should walk with Jesus but a little confused how “the Armor of God” fit into all of it.

Jane Austen by Peter Leithart Book Review for BookSneeze
Peter Leithart uses daily accountings of Jane Austen’s life to present a beautiful illustration of what Austen’s life was like. Thorough letters from Jane herself to others and family memories after Jane’s death the reader is presented with a realistic look at how Jane viewed herself and those around her. She seems to wholeheartedly cling to her Christian beliefs however she always inserts her own whimsical sense of humor to any situation. This book was a very easy read and lets the reader see another side to the famous Jane Austen. I recommend this book to anyone who has read any of Jane Austen's novels.

The Story of Easter: Retold by Gwen Ellis
The Story of Easter
Retold by Gwen Ellis
The Story of Easter retold by Gwen Ellis is an easy to read and to understand accounting of the resurrection of Christ. The book is divided into sections beginning with Jesus' donkey ride into Jerusalem. The Story takes the reader through the Crucifixion of Jesus to Jesus going into Heaven.
My four year old listened to me read it and then could easily answer questions and retell the story herself. The Crucifixion part is retold in a gentle way as to convey the message but not the gore. I give this book an A++.
As a bonus the book comes with a companion DVD. The DVD goes through the chapters of the book and then adds a few other stories from the Bible. The Bible characters are portrayed in a fun but loving way that attracts a child’s attention. We watched it over and over. The DVD also includes fun games for children to play on the computer.
