A Book I Did Not Enjoy

Lead for God's Sake is a book about a basketball coach named Steve Rocker who is used to winning. Now his team is not doing so hot. Steve does not understand what is going on. God brings a special person along who helps Steve see what has happened in his life.

This book was pretty good. I must say that I had a rough time getting into this book. It took me a while to finish the book. I do not know if I couldn't relate because I am not a sports fan or if it is told from a male point of view. I am sure there is a lot of people who would enjoy this book.

Another Book

The Sacred Path of Tears by M.B. Tosi is a story of a girl caught between two worlds. Mokee is a Cheyenne girl. Mokee thinks that she and her friend Tovee will always be together. But that was before the wars between the Indians and the white men. One day Mokee and Tovee are out hunting when they see a horrific sight. This event will cause one of them to turn to violence. The other will turn to God through the kindness of strangers.

I found this book to be a good mixture of real historical facts and historical fiction. I really enjoyed the story. It had action, and romance. The one thing I was not happy with was the cursing in the book. I could not understand why a Christian book would have cursing in it. It didn't even relate at all to the story. All in all it was a very good book.

Sewing

I have been sewing like crazy today. I am making Easter baskets and purses for Maggie's American Girl Dolls. It is amazing what you can find on the internet. There is all kinds of free patterns and tutorials. I have to bring my serger back up to Nashville. This will be the fourth trip in a month. I am hoping that it will be fixed for good. I have become so spoiled with my serger. Everything looks so much nicer with a serger.

Science Fiction or Mystery

Behemoth by Jonathan C. Leicht is a great book. I don't know whether to classify it as sci-fi or a mystery. Behemoth is about two teams of scientist who have each found evidence of dinosaurs. Jim Thompson has found dino tracks in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Something is killing bull elephants, bull cape buffalo, and bull rhino. Whatever it is must be awfully strong to take down these guys. Dr. Stephen Gregory, a creationist, has been offered a chance to find another dinosaur called Mokele-Mbembe by the natives. Does it really exist? Dr. Stephen Gregory is certainly going to find out. With this discovery Creationism would finally be proven.

This was a wonderful book. It combined fact with fiction. I did not want to put this book down for a minute. I thought that it showed a great stand for Creation. I also liked how the author showed the two different sides of Creation and Evolution. It was full of action and suspense. I sometimes found it a little hard to keep the different scientist apart. I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed this book. I think this book would be great for mystery and science fiction people a like.
