Another hardcover from booksneeze.com in return for an honest review!
Where has Oprah taken us is written by New York Times Best-Selling Author Stephen Mansfield.
Oprah is the most powerful black women in the world, and also the most famous women in the world. She has shared with us almost everything about her life, from her troubled past to her religious beliefs.
Oprah combines different pieces of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity and shares with the world her beliefs.
Stephen tells us Oprah's life story- who she is, where she came from, and what she believes in. I have gained a lot more respect for this amazing women after reading this great book.
Including the notes in the back of this book, it is almost 250 pages long. Some of the chapters are called: Oprah Rising, The Age of Oprah, Oprahs Favourite Things, and Oprahs Spiritual Family.
This book is a great read and you will not be disappointed. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to get to know a little more about this amazing lady!

I saw this book inside of Chapters and was tempted to buy this book for my son, but had decided against it. This is exactly why I was thrilled when I saw it up for review on booksneeze.com! After I requested the book, I purchased the eBook for $1.99 and read away because I knew it wouldnt be long!
This book is 20 pages long and it is PERFECT for bedtimes. My little one was sleeping when I purchased the eBook, but he will love it tomorrow when we sit on the computer and read it after dinner time!
The illustrations are very soft and the story line is very peaceful so it helps get the child ready for bedtime. It has an enjoyable story-line and it would keep the child interested!
I can tell this would be a book my son will want to read over and over again!

I saw this book inside of Chapters before and I almost bought it for my son but I wasnt too sure about it. Thats exactly why I was so excited when I saw this up for review on booksneeze.com! I figured it would not have taken very long to read, so thats why after I requested this book, I bought the eBook online for 1.99$ so I could read it right away!
This book is ADORABLE! I love how it is a poem, but also a prayer. It would be a very interactive book to read with a child as they are able to repeat the sentences.

Christian Encounter Series
Christopher Columbus
Christian Encounter Series
Author: Dale Buss
If you think history is boring and reading a book about Christopher Columbus would be a waste of time, you're wrong! This book was suprisingly interesting and I loved it! It is a book that I am going to treasure until my boys are old enough to enjoy it, and then hand it down to them! This wonderful biography on the legndary Christopher Columbus will keep you interested from the beginning to the end.
This story is easy to follow due to Dale's excellent writing style, but I thought this book may have been confusing with many different characters. Buss clearly takes you through events in Columbus' life and makes it easy and enjoyable to learn about his life, adventures and voyages.
Before reading this book, I knew next to nothing about Christopher, and now I am bursting full of exciting facts about this incrediable voyageur. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about Christopher Columbus!
I give this book 5 stars because it was unexpectadly great!

Fyodor Dostoevsky
Fyodor Dostoevsky
By Peter Liethart
"Artfully written and cleverly constructed, this biography in the Christian Encounters Series gives readers a compelling look at the world-famous writer and the social, political, and scientific forces that set the stage for his literary greatness."
I received this book from booksneeze.com in return for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The last book that I had chosen to review was also in the Christian Encounter Series (I had just read about Christopher Columbis, and I have to say it was much better), however it was also by a different author. The only negative thing that I have to say about this book is that I find Fyodor Dostoecsky to be rather boring However, I think Peter does an excellent job at informing readers who Fyodor Dostoevsky is in this 208 page novel.
I had never heard of Dostoevsky before and I can tell why- he is not someone I find to be very interesting. I thought this book was rather boring. I got interested during some parts of the book though, for example when I read about his gambling and money problems.
Fyodor was very Christian and I am not religious at all, and this is why I might not have liked this book as much as others probably would.
I give this book 3 stars out of 5, because of the authors writing style

Ascent From Darkness
Ascent from Darkness
Michael Leehan
This book has the power to change your life! It is a brutally honest story of a mans 20 year journey through evil and hate, and then when he connects with Christ.
This is Michael`s first book and I am very impressed. His characters come to life and you feel as if you are a part of his story. When his characters feel pain, you feel pain; when they are sad, you become sad. I am blown away at the writing skills Leehan has, and you probably will be to.
This book covers about 30 years, so the story-line is fast paced. I would reccommend this book to ANYONE as I could not put it down. This book will push you to deal with the darkness within, and when you finish reading, you will come out with a better state of mind.
It is always amazing to hear a story about someone who almost lost everything they have, and they end up taking control of the situation, and coming out on top. This book is very inspiring and I guarantee you will love it. I would give this book 5 stars out of 5

Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus - Christian Encounters
by Dale Buss
I started reading this book with no knowledge of the famous Christopher Columbus, or the "Admiral of the Ocean Sea". I finished this book exploding with knowledge of the great man, ready to share some interesting facts to others.
I requested this book from booksneeze.com in return for an honest review. I had received another Christian Encounters novel before, and it was amazing! I enjoyed every second of it, but could not wait to receive this book in the mail so I ended it reading it eBook format!
Dale Buss does a fantastic job at retelling this mans story- his life, his voyages, and his successes and failures, even though this is not a long read- a mere 176 pages.
Christopher was born in 1451 in Italy to a middle-class family and he died in 1506. He was a man of many trades. He was an explorer, a navagator, and a colonizer. People may say he is nutty, but I believe this man is very smart. He was fluent in many languages, including Portuguese, Latin, Castalian, and of course, his native language, Italian. He was very interested and avidly read about history, geography, and astrology. Buss does an excellent job at this biography on the man that changed the world.
