The Quotable Rogue: The Ideals of Sarah Palin in Her Own Words
By Matt Lewis

I am a Palin fan!
What I enjoy about this book is we have a record of what she has said in the context of when she said it.  I also like the last chapter that quotes what others have commented about her.

I am so disappointed in how she was treated and portrayed in the presidential campaign by the media.  I felt she was discriminated against unfairly. I hope that she will again run for office and get an equal representation from the media.  I feel that our news sources should give us objective reporting, not attack individuals unfairly and dishonestly.

Thank you, Matt Lewis and Thomas Nelson Publishers for your part in representing this lady by printing her own words, not fabricating unfavorable reports.

Enjoyable!

The Lady of Bolton Hill by Elizabeth Camden

I enjoyed reading this book!
I was surprised at the suspense and emotion involved in the story.
I was impressed that the author could make you see different perspectives and that good triumphed in the end.
I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.
I received a free copy from the publisher, but was under no obligation for a positive review.

Do you believe me?

The Promise of an Angel
By Ruth Reid

This was a very good book and I enjoyed reading it. Although at one point I almost gave up on the story, and put it aside. I was reading more between the lines and thought that an act of fornication had been lightly passed over. Our society has few scruples and laughs at purity. God expects more of us as Christians. We have forgotten that he is ever aware of our thoughts and actions.

This was a complicated plot, showing many of the characters attitudes and reactions.  I particularly enjoyed the loyalty shown by one of the main characters with little evidence shown. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series scheduled to come out in April 2012.

Historical Fiction

Fairer Than The Morning

By Rosslyn Elliott

On the cover the reviewer mentions Dickens' style.

This book tells of the meanness and cruelty of owners for

their workers-- apprentices and slaves.

The story is very compelling and draws you into it.

I was appalled at the cruelty depicted. I am so thankful that

it is illegal in this nation to own another person.

Ms. Elliott is a very talented author. One thing I appreciated was the way she brought out that sin has consequences. I am looking forward to reading the second book in this Saddler's Legacy series.

Leadership!

Washington

A Legacy of Leadership

By Paul Vickery and Stephen Mansfield

A fresh look at one of the most recognized faces in American History.

This author has a way of describing General Washington that draws you into the story. I am so thankful that he has written this book to present the facts of our first Presidents life, instead of trying to belittle him or bring out any flaws, just to elevate our opinion of the self-serving politicians that we so often encounter today.

One thing that the author brings out in this book is that Mr. Washington was a man of prayer. All too often this fact is overlooked.

A nice feature of this book is the artwork. My favorite picture of Mr. Washington is of him kneeling in prayer at Valley Forge.

I thank God for the Father of our Country -- General George Washington!

Neat!

Strike It Rich With Pocket Change
by Ken Potter and Brian Allen

This is a neat book with many illustrations and information about
casting errors and other reasons why some coins are worth much
more than their face value.

I have always been interested in pocket change, now I will be able
to know more about it! Another thing I like about this book, are the
stories about how much people got for their change.

Informative!

MacArthur

America's General

By Mitchell Yockelson and Stephen Mansfield

Published by Thomas Nelson

A book about a larger than life hero and motivator in battle.

This book tells about his family background, his faith, before and after

and during His illustrious and highly decorated military career.

We, Americans, tend to forget our heroes from the past,

and focus only on today. I am so glad that these authors

took the time and spent such effort on the recording of a

life worth studying.

Wake up, America! We need God!
