Revealing Revelation: How God's Plans for the Future Can Change Your Life Now by Amir Tsarfati, Dr. Rick Yohn
informative

4.0
I loved how Tsarfati breaks down complex biblical prophecy into digestible pieces, making it accessible for everyday readers.
His insights and explanations shed light on the mysterious and often misunderstood aspects of Revelation, offering a fresh perspective.
Tsarfati bought some great insight to each chapter of Revelation. It actually made me rethink my beliefs on eschatology!
But with that being said I wish He had argued more of why other scholars/theologian views on this book are incorrect.

I AM LOST by Valicity Elaine
fast-paced

3.75 star rating. finished this end of April
It was an okay read. It definitely suffers from middle book syndrome. I def liked book 1 better.
I still love Code X5. Favorite character so far and I really liked getting Helios's POV. He is a very intriguing character. I do feel like book 1 and 2 could have been condensed together.
all in all I liked the worldbuilding the most. Action scenes need more depth.
Hope book 3 gets better in those areas.

Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely by Lysa TerKeurst

She dives into the messy feelings of rejection we all face, sharing her own ups and downs. But it's not just a pity party; TerKeurst offers real biblical advice for healing and finding your worth in something bigger than the opinions of others.
Her words remind us that we're not alone in our struggles and that our response to situations can always honor God!
Lots of great advice but Ch. 7. though just WOW!

*SIGH* this is one of those books that I wished I DNF'ed.. SMH
1 star for keeping my attention to find out what happens at the end
1 star for having a plot
never read a book that pissed me off as much as this one! This has taught me that if I feel like DNFing a book just do it, life's too short lol

4.5
This was a gripping read that delves into complex themes like pro-life and pro-choice. The main characters storylines were engaging, but the secondary character Cy-Fi, who really stood out to me. The story's exploration of the Humphrey Dunfee aspect adds an intriguing layer.
While the worldbuilding is solid, it leaves some questions unanswered, which can keep you thinking even after finishing the book. Overall, it's a thought-provoking and engaging read that raises important ethical questions.
Highly Recommend! looking forward to the rest of the dystology!

Valicity seamlessly integrates Christian themes, like Jesus's redemption of mankind in this sci-fi book. She did a great job with that aspect!
X5 and Clora-Vean and the worldbuilding were awesome!
I'm already itching to get my hands on the second book! If you're into series, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic settings I recommend reading this series.
