Kill Me If You Can
by Nicole Young
Patricia Amble, better known as Tish, has arrived in Michigan for her next renovation project. This particular project could prove to be especially trying for her because it’s the same cabin where she spent her childhood summers. Upon arrival, it becomes evident someone doesn’t welcome Tish’s return. The person in question has left a photo of Tish’s deceased mother on the bed with the words, “Don’t ask why.”
Not a deterrent, Tish eases into the lives of her “long-lost” family members on her dad’s side, most of whom are very reluctant to talk about the 26 year old mystery surrounding her mother’s death. Was it really suicide? Tish keeps asking questions that no one seems willing to answer. At a certain point it seems she’s been asking too many questions, and somebody is not happy. To top it all off, she manages to catch the attention of some pretty dangerous drug dealers.
Her once simple goal to renovate a cabin turns into a rollercoaster ride on finding the truth and keeping her life.

The Amazing Bible Factbook for Kids
American Bible Society
The Amazing Bible Factbook for Kids is full of interesting, fun facts about the bible. The book includes factual information about some of the following topics: Angels, Animals, Clothing and Cosmetics, Food, Geography, Health, Heaven, Kids in the Bible, Language, Movies, Music and a ton of other topics.
I really like how the book follows the magazine-style design that you find in many books these days. I’m sure this makes the book even more attractive for an inquisitive youngster. This will surely make a great reference book for family devotion time or individual reading. There are quizzes and puzzles found throughout the book as well.
I don’t usually post Children’s books, but when I received the following book in the mail to review, I was so taken with it, I put other books to the side just to read through it. While the book says it’s for kids, this full-color fact book kept my attention for quite a few hours. I must emphasize, in this day and time, there is NO reason what so ever for folks NOT to be able to learn about the Bible. There is some good stuff in the “good book”.
The Amazing Bible Factbook for Kids is an excellent resource to use alongside the bible for understanding – for kids or adults.
