i am one of jehovahs witnesses. first of all, the bible says not to lie. you probably shouldnt be approving the telling of lies by your children. im pretty sure god doesnt approve either. just fyi i think that the only accurate information you can get about jehovahs witnesses is from jehovahs witnesses. after all, we do know what we believe better than anyone else. we use the bible to explain all

I totally understand Kevin. To blog or not to blog, is a question I ask daily! Just keep writing though! :)

Have a wonderful Christmas!

Peace with God - does it get any better than this? Thanks, Kevin. Such a good one!

Ha, Diane. Just be careful what you're eating!...

Ha, Diane. Just be careful what you're eating! Modesty is still a virtue in my book, along with avoiding gluttony!

Aw, how sweet. You have been blessed to have a godly wife. May you have many more years to serve the Lord side by side!

This Momentary Marriage is a good book but Piper sometimes seems to repeat himself over and over again. The book could probably be half the size it is.

I would suggest God, Marriage and Family by Andreas J. Kostenberger. It's a lot more in depth than This Momentary Marriage.

"For the Fame of God's Name" is on my to read list.

It's a blessing to love your church and be loved by them. I can attest that This Momentary Marriage is an excellent book. I recently finished Piper's Jesus the Only to Way to God which is also very good.

Wonderfully and practically loved by your church body. That's much to be thankful for!

Leslie – I don't do it much at all anymore. As I've aged, it takes more concentration to avoid all the people who are texting while driving!

What a blessing this post is! We would love to visit your church if we're ever out that way again on business.
Blessings to you brother Kevin and to your congregation.

Kevin,
I chuckled when I read the account of the man charged with reading while driving....I've been tempted many times to do that. Books...oh my, my husband commented the other day when I suggested getting rid of our buffet hutch to replace it with bookshelves that we would then have a library instead of a home. Why not both?

Fellow bibliophile here! But I would not read while driving; I want to live to read another day!

Kevin,
Sometimes I have to force myself to take a day away from blogging to make sure I'm not loving it TOO much. And books. Don't get me started. I was so happy that I finished one last night so I could start a new one today. I'm very thankful God chose WORDS as a main medium of his message.

River,

I'm honored by your presence at my little spot on the world. I think, in the 14 months I've been doing reviews, you're only the second author to stop by.

I hope to give some of your other works a go soon. All other reviews are so positive. It may be that I just missed it with Mercy Land.

2010-10-31T08:58:54.174-05:00

Hi there,

I'm so sorry that The MIracle of Mercy Land wasn't your kind of story. I do realize that novels, like people, are wide and varied in their personalities and different novels call to some and not to others. I wish you the best on your continued blogging and reviewing. Authors really do depend on readers such as yourself to get the word out.

Have a blessed

I’ve been reading Beverly Lewis for years and was thrilled to gat a chance to read The Thorn.

I was disappointed that very few (one, I believe) of the plot lines were ever resolved. I guess that’s why there is a book 2. Of course I’ll have to wait until April, 2011, for that.

My own review of this book can be found at
