Brandon Foster

Wing Weaver is a new fantasy novel that follows the protagonist Aeden Harrington through his first year at Aviara Academy. The entire book takes place within the boundaries of this school, but Beswick does explain the world around in at points. I do not want to spoil the book since it is still in its infancy, but I will give an honest review non the less.

I want to share my overall feelings to begin with. Then I will break the review into five categories. So…how did I feel when I finished the book? I liked it. Overall it was a pleasant book to read. It was not hard to read and I found myself quite often quickly turning the page to see what happened next. I will definitely be picking up the rest of the series. Now to the deeper review

World War I: A Short History lives up to that name. It is a well written condensed summary of the events from 1914-1919. Norman Stone organized the book based off of year, which helps keep things organized in a rather unorganized war.

For those trying to understand the general flow of WWI this is a great book. If you are looking for an indepth play by play this is not the book. Stone's book, in my opinion, is a great aside to explain the large analytical books that make your head swim.

Overall, this is a well researched, well organized, good book.

Western Blinders

As a Mississippi transplant from California I have become fascinated with cultural differences. What are they, how do I identify them, and are they good or bad. When my pastor mentioned this book during a sermon I knew I had to read it.
The authors do a fantastic job of explaining different types of blinders that westerners have using 3 different tiers going from ones that are not very important to ones that are deeply important in our reading of the Bible. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in cultural differences pertaining to the Bible, how to read the Bible better, and anyone struggling with understanding the Bible in general.

Work Unto the Lord

“Christians look to an Audience of One, our loving heavenly Father, and that gives us both accountability and joy in our work.”

This is a convicting book that every Christian should read. Keller leads the reader through how we work, why we work, and the attitude that we should have. Love his writing.

Why do I have to wait until next year for book two?! This book will be on my top five books for this year. The story was original, the characters showed personality and development. Overall, this was an amazing book. I will definitely read it again.
