Review of Through my Eyes

Title: Through my Eyes
Author: Tim Tebow
Chapters: 21
Pages:260
Genre: BIOGRAPHY
Rating: 5 STARS 10/10
Through my Eyes is Tim Tebow’s story from his point of view. You get his story from his own lips; not any spin the media wants to put in.
Even though I am not really a huge football fan, I really enjoyed this book. I mean I am a fan of a school that’s football team has the record of the longest years of loses to another school. Kentucky hasn’t won in a game against Florida or Tennessee in almost two decades. It’s a great feeling to see that the NFL has a role model that young kids can look up to. Being a Kentucky fan I had heard the name Tim Tebow before, but it wasn’t till I read Playing with Purpose that I learned more about him and two other Christian football players headed to the NFL, and all I can say is the NFL needs more guys like these; and that I will also be praying that they can stand strong in their faith through everything life throws their way.
Even if don't like football I recomend that you read this book.

Review of Out of Control

Title: Out of Control
Author: Mary Connealy
Series:   The Kincaid Brides book 1
Chapters: 21
Pages: 331
Genre: Christian Historical fiction
Rating:  5 stars 10/10
     Out of Control is the first book in the Kincaid Brides it’s the fourth book that I’ve read by Mary Connealy. Like all of her other books it didn’t disappoint. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
     The only thing that Rafe Kincaid wants is to run his ranch and get his family back together.  Julia Gilliland wants to explore the cave that she has accidently found even though Rafe warns her that it is dangerous. She also wants her half-sister and step-mother to be safe. Will these two both get what they want and a chance at happy ever after too.  It was a little different than other books that I have read by her, but still good.
     I normally don’t like books with hero’s on the cover I like to use my imagination and the description in the book of the hero to come up with my “own” view of the hero. The hero on the cover works.

Review of The Reading Promise

Title: The Reading Promise
Author: Alice Ozma
Series:   no
Chapters: 30
Pages: 279
Genre: non-fiction biography
Rating:  5 stars
     Alice and her father decide to set a goal to read for 100 nights. Once they meet that goal, they decide to continue the streak. The date that they agree to stop on is the day that Alice goes away to college.  Every from ninth grade until she goes to college they read.
     I really enjoyed the book I found I could relate to the author expect in my case it was my mom who read to me every night; according to her from the time I was born till I started high school.  The Reading Promise was a book that my and I read together.  It’s one of those books that parents and kids can read together.
