BOOK REVIEW ON HARRISON - GOES CAMPING
This children book is a very thoughtful book -
simple, easily understandable from daily life stories, yet associated with
powerful and valuable messages. This book is great in the sense that it will soothe
and touch the readers' hearts and souls.
Her gift of writing talents together with her
well crafted skills cleverly and creatively combined, allowed her to convey God’s message in a much
more powerful and impactful way. Her
messages used the simple line daily stories such as camping so freely,
naturally and effectively. Her story is full of expressions and emotion through
simple daily conversation yet it did not stop her to spread across good moral
values and love. Amazingly well done, I must say. Through this simple story of
hers, the readers enjoy a care free reading like a pleasant breeze blowing
towards the reader. In fact, it is a light reading book clearly and well illustrated
by respective drawings to enhance the readers’ understanding and appealing interest
especially for those children who do not like reading. Smartly inserted are the
respective relevant verses of the Scripture at the bottom of the page is also
worthy of praise. Hence, her skillful and thoughtful craft of her writing coupled
with lovely pictures will make her book shines, appealing and attractive
amongst children. This will further raise their curiosity, thirst and desire to
find much more in a fun manner.
Many of us have our own gifts and never use
them to teach our younger generation by sharing our knowledge and stories.
Becky Howard is definitely not that person. She believes in simplicity and was focus
through her writing. If the reviews she’s received thus-far are any indication,
the world needed it. She uses her talents to reach and teach others.
I received a review copy of the book for the purpose of writing a fair and honest review and no other compensation.
Harrison – Goes Camping though is a children book which provides us with more than one dimension. This is because it can help us view things not only in the physical sense, but also its related God wisdom as the author has prescribed through her daily conversation with her loved ones. It serves wide and diverse needs especially for those who want their children to be exposed and learn the highest, positive and broader perspective on life from a young age.
This book makes the children gain more exposure in Christian values. It may give them a good, solid and sound understanding of the great works of the Mighty Loving God.
What I enjoyed most about this book is its fascinating way of conveying Christian values through our daily conversation in the family. It reflects the beauty of spreading the little seed in children hearts. That’s what makes this book truly worth reading.
As you read through the book, you’ll be able to visualise the exciting camping event and surroundings the author has to go through. This book is not meant to persuade or dissuade you – it’s meant to inform, ingrain and teach the readers in gaining the appropriate perspectives in our daily life.
This book is highly recommended for reading; it is also suitable as a gift to children or to be used as children home study subject.
The Title of the book is Simple and Precise and to the point.
Harrison – Goes Camping is definitely a noble
goal, because it teach children of the value of Christianity and prospers you
to see things from their positive and appropriate perspective, from God’s
perspective through our daily Life. You may grab its wisdom from each and every
event happens through the camping journey. I must say that the reward of its
wisdom is far more than your time, energy and money spent. Marvelous! In short,
you will be empowered by its wisdom with this simple yet powerful event. Early
exposure through consistent and persistent application by living it in your
life is the surest way to ensure that you shine through your life. The author, Becky
Howard, can certainly attest of this truth.
This book is also ideal for anyone who feels you had been living life without much meaning and is looking for inspiration to go off on his own, and dislike heavy reading.
Last, but not least, this book would make a lovely and meaningful Christmas present.
All I can say is thank you!

GUEST AUTHOR BY LORILYN ROBERTS

Post by Lorilyn Roberts
From Seventh Dimension – The Door, a Young Adult
Christian Fantasy
“What About Me,
God”
“Why would the king
want to heal him?” My life hadn’t changed. What about me? A voice spoke to me,
“Don’t let others steal your joy. Don’t be jealous of others or concerned about
not receiving their blessing. Think about the good things the king has given
you.” – Shale Snyder, Seventh Dimension – The Door.
No one else just like you has ever
lived – and today there are close to seven billion people on the planet. If you
were the only person God created and you turned your back on Him, God would
have sent Jesus Christ to die for you. He made you just the way you are. You
have gifts that no one else has. These gifts were not given to you to make you
great or famous. There were given to you for one purpose: To glorify God.
Instead of thinking about what
someone else has, think about what God has given you—and how you can use your
life for His glory, not yours.
Someday all these things that seem
so wonderful will come to an end. There won’t be a Hollywood in heaven, but
there will be life. There will be memories. There will be feelings. There will
be blessings. There will be love.
Remember: God doesn’t create junk—He creates beauty. Sometimes the good things God gives us are
hidden underneath our sinful passions. Do you know who you are in Christ?
Have you forgotten something God did for you? Have you taken your eyes off of
Jesus Christ?
As long as you have a beating heart,
you have time to change directions. Don’t delay. Today 150,000 people will die.
You only have this moment, this second. Act now, and remember, as Shale did in
the Seventh Dimension – The Door: “Could the king’s words penetrate my hardened
heart? What joy would fill me if I surrendered everything to the king?”
From March 1 through March 16, the John 3:16 Marketing Network
is sponsoring Lorilyn Roberts’ book launch of Seventh Dimension – The Door, a
finalist in the 2012 Grace Awards. You can purchase a Kindle version of her
book for only 99 cents. By entering your Amazon purchase order number into the

She is an author, blogger, home educating mom and runs a home preschool. She loves the paranormal genre.
The Cover of the Book
Now the interview with the Author of the Book,
When did you begin to write?
When did you begin to write?
I first started writing stories when I was about nine years old. I began writing to publish last April and published my first novel, Deception in November. (Deception is available for free on Kindle this week, you can grab it here: http://www.amazon.com/Deception-The-Transformed-ebook/dp/B00ADWBNDS/)
When did you first discover that you were a writer?
When I wrote my first story in school. I loved it and started writing stories for fun on a regular basis.
How much did you write before you were published?
I filled many journals with stories between the time that I was nine and about twenty. Then I stopped writing for a long time until last April I rediscovered my dream to publish novels.
What is your favorite part of writing?
I love creating the stories and watching them come to life. Once I get the basic details figured out and start writing, the story just takes off. What's the most fun is when I'm writing and something happens that surprises even me. Sometimes I have to alter my plans for the story, but it's almost always for the better!
Tell us about your latest release.
Betrayal is the second book in The Transformed series. Deception is the first book, the one that I mentioned above which is free on Amazon this week.
The series is the story of Alexis Ferguson, who begins to notice that there is something different about her. At first she thinks it's as simple as being adopted, but what she discovers turns her world completely upside down.
She must face a new reality that she thought only existed in horror stories and nightmares. She has to face a destiny that was planned long before her birth, in a place that she didn't even know existed, which could cost her her life.
Wow! This book sounds really good. Are you planning on writing more in the years to come?Yes, there will be a total of five books in this series. In May, I'm also releasing a shorter novel that has nothing to do with the series. I plan to write a lot of books!
So far what is your worst criticism/attacks, and how have you overcome it?
I haven't run into any of that yet, but most authors do, so I'm sure that it's only a matter of time.
What is the accomplishment that you are most proud of?
I'm excited about publishing three books in six months, when I publish my third book in May. So far I've published two books in three months. It's very exciting!
What does your writing process look like?
1. Think up the main idea of the story.
2. Create the characters, world, and plot around the idea.
3. Write the first draft and fill in all the details.
4. Edit: fill in the gaps, fix errors, rewrite where needed.
5. Read on my kindle to get a different reading experience.
6. Beta readers give opinions and edits.
7. Two to three edits with re-writes.
8. Run through grammar check.
9. Read through.
10. Publish.
How did you get published?
I chose to self publish through Amazon and Barnes and Noble because the process is so much more quick than with the big publishing companies.
How do you come up with title of your books?
I usually write most of the book and the look at the themes and choose one and pick a name based on that.
Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?
They are fun, mysterious and also deal with issues from real life. In my first book, the issue of bullying was addressed. The issue of adoption runs through the series because the main character was adopted. I hope to inspire people as well as entertain.
Tell us your guiding principle that governs your life?
I believe in helping and inspiring others.
How have you cultivated these values?
One way is by using my personal development blog.
Do you have any advice for writers looking to get published?
Learn from others who have been through the process. That's the BEST way to learn how to be successful. That's what I've done, and I've been able to achieve far more than I had originally hoped!
Where can we find your book?
Where can we find you on the internet?

GUEST AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH CIDNEY SWANSON
CIDNEY SWANSON
When did you
begin to write?
As
soon as they gave me pencil and paper and explained the alphabet to me!
When did you
first discover that you were a writer?
When
I was seven, I’d been in love with books for a couple of years already. At that
age, I first heard you could make up stories and write them down as a job and I
said, “I am in!”
What is your
favorite part of writing?
My
very favorite-favorite parts are the very beginning, when a shiny new story is
beguiling
me (they flirt outrageously to get my attention) and the final polish where I examine
every sentence to make sure it is pulling its weight in a story.
Does
it belong?
Can
I find better words? That sort of thing. (I know—word nerd!!)
So far what is
your worst criticism/attacks, and how have you overcome it?
When
I was in seventh grade, my class had a writing competition. I spent a gazillion
hours on this Nancy-Drew-type novella that was the longest thing I’d ever
written at that time. The class voted, and my story lost—by ONE vote. I was heartbroken
and didn’t write stories for almost ten years after that. (Lots of poems,
essays, letters, journaling- just no stories.) I do not recommend what I did.
But that was part of my journey. Then one day I just said Enough! and started
writing stories again. It felt soooooo good!
What is the
accomplishment that you are most proud of?
My
Kirkus award—getting a Best of 2012 on Saving Mars was a dream come true.
Kirkus advertises themselves as the World’s Toughest Book Critics. (No lie!)
What does your writing
process look like?
I
plunk down a first draft in a month or so, and it is one messy, messy thing.
Then I let it marinade for a week to a couple of months while I work on
something else. When I come back to the draft, I am looking at my editor’s notes
and my own gut feeling for where the story is weak, boring, implausible, etc. I
do a story revision pass, then a sort of line edits, and then a final polishing
pass where I try to make sure each separate page has a gem on it: something
funny or anguishing or just really well-said.
How did you get
published?
We
opened Williams Press with my first title, RIPPLER in 2011. I’ve been writing
full-time ever since.
Can you
enlighten us a little more about your books?
Sure!
The RIPPLE Trilogy is about a girl who can turn invisible, the boy she’s
crushing on, and the neo-Nazi geneticist out for blood who is chasing them. My
next series, The SAVING MARS Series takes place 300 years in the future when a
human colony is facing starvation on Mars. Jessamyn, a young, grounded pilot
must prove she and her autistic brother have the right stuff to fly a daring
raid to Earth even though the two worlds have a No Contact policy. Her brother
gets caught, she falls for a boy on Earth, mayhem ensues, and she has to choose
between saving her brother and saving her planet.

SOUL SONGS' BOOK- BY HEIDI LEVAN ; REVIEW
This songs' book is rare, unique and a privilege insight into anything that can soothe and touch the readers' hearts and souls. Her writing talents together with her well crafted skills and creativity enable her to express the joy in Everyday Life, so freely, naturally and effectively. Her songs are full of expressions and emotions, in particular love and joy. Through her songs, you are not only able to feel the flow of her expression from her observations, but you can
also relate to the respective wisdom the author conveys. Hence, her thoughtful words truly inspire our curiosity and the positive perspectives as how to live life with lots of love. Many of us have our own gifts and never use them to inspire others by sharing our experiences. Heldi Levan is not that person. She believes simplicity and love provide the finest level of living. If the reviews she’s received thus-far are any indication, the world needed it. She uses her talents to reach and inspire others.
I received a review copy of the book for the purpose of writing a fair and honest review. I received no other compensation.
Soul Song is a book which provides us with more than one dimension. This is because it can help us to view things not only physically as it is, but also its related wisdom the Universe portrays as the author has prescribed through her soul songs. It serves wide and diverse needs especially for those who want to gain the highest, positive and broader perspective on life.
This book, may perhaps make you gain faith of your own. It may gives you a good, solid and sound understanding of the great works of the Mighty Loving God.
I think that what I enjoyed most about this book is its richness with emotional songs. It reflects the beauty and joyous life if we embrace the positive perspectives of living life with love. Reminds us of the love from above. That’s what makes this book truly worth reading.
As you read through the book, you’ll be able to visualise the
colourful events and surroundings the author goes through. This book is not meant to persuade or dissuade you – it’s meant to inform, ingrain and inspire you in gaining positive perspectives in everyday life.
So grab hold of this book without much hesitation. You may probably read this book in a leisurely weekend and let the author walk you through her journey that will soothe your soul and keep you turning the pages.
The Title of the book is Simple, Precise and Concise - well reflection of its contents. It should sell quite a few copies on the title alone. Important lesson to me and I have to admit the title is irresistible.
Soul songs is definitely a noble goal, because it propels and prospers you to see things from their positive and appropriate perspective from everyday Life. You may grab its wisdom from each and every song. I must say that the reward of its wisdom is far more than your time,
energy and money spent. Marvelous. In short, you will be empowered by its wisdom with full of colourful events. Consistent and persistent application by living it in your life is the surest way to ensure that you shine through your life. The author, Heidi Levan , can certainly attest of
this truth.
This book is also ideal for anyone who feels you had been living life without much meaning and is looking for inspiration to go off on his own.
Last, but not least, this book would make a lovely and meaningful Christmas present.
All I can say is thank you!
