The 13th Gift Will Renew Your Belief That There Is Still Good in the World

Joanne Huist Smith's The 13th Gift proves that there are still good Samaritan's in the world and that Charity conquers all.  This true account of a Christmas Miracle can be read at any time in the year.  Anytime you need a lift for your spirit.  The writer retell's of her first Christmas after the death of her spouse when she feels overwhelmed and totally alone.  She wants to make the Holiday's special for her children but funds are strained.  When word spreads among friends and neighbors, they get together to make Christmas special for her and the children.  A very touching book with a powerful message.  One that I can read over and over again.  I was fortunate to review this book for Blogging for Books.  To read more about the author .

Tasting the Sweet Water of Life~ A review

Tasting The Sweet Water of Life by Diana Houlihan reminds us that there is still good in this world . She shares with us her journey of walking with Jesus Christ  and how he tenderly guided her to her present place of contentment and peace.  Through testimony, poetry and experiences she gladly gives her Savior all of the Praise.  Relating the joys and struggles of being an Elder's daughter; her book would encourage many young people facing the same.  For all others, her words bring comfort and inspiration understanding that all we go through is for a great cause when we know the Lord.  I look forward to referring back to her poetry whenever I may need an uplift.  This is Diana Houlihan's first project and I find myself craving for more.
