Bear Portraits by Jill Greenberg Review

Book Description:

A top celebrity portrait photographer, Jill Greenberg has a unique ability to coax powerful emotions out of her subjects - whether human or animal. Her portraits of bears, collected here for the first time, surprise and engage. We encounter cubs as cute as a child's Teddy,
grizzlies that look like they might swallow you whole, and Polar bears seated in Sphinx-like tranquility.

Full-grown brown bears, grizzlies, black bears, Polar bears, and bear cubs are photographed on location against a portrait backdrop. The poses and facial expressions are at turns oddly comedic, pensive, terrifying, and sometimes unexpectedly human. Alive with Greenberg's signature lighting and seen through the unique perspective of her lens, these startling bear portraits bring us face to face with our fears and fantasies.

My Review:

Or maybe I should call this the twins review!  They have loved sitting and looking at all of the different portraits of the bears.  Diva will sit and ask me the names of each of the bears and repeat them.  The pictures of the bears are amazing and being a photographer myself, I fell in love!  If you have children that love animals, this is a great book for their library! 

Hachette Book Group has a link for all of the places you can purchase this book.  You'll want to at least go LOOK at the book because its beautiful!

Happy Reading!

Michelle

Wisdom Hunter by Randall Arthur Review

Wisdom Hunter

by

Randall Arthur

ABOUT THIS BOOK

This rerelease of Randall Arthur's bestselling novel presents the hypocrisy of Christian legalism and a man's search for the only surviving member of his family. The story's hero, Pastor Jason Faircloth, embarks on a journey that lasts eighteen years and takes him through four countries in a quest to find the granddaughter who is being hidden from him. In a process that mirrors our own spiritual journey, he discovers a rich relationship with God and the peace that finally comes with true faith.

My Review:
I could do this review with two words if I wanted too and those two words would be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!  Randall Arthurs' main character Jason Faircloth is the epitome of the type of pastor that runs a lot of the mega churches today.  Be damned the lost souls banging at the doors, only allow those who can benefit and further man's vision of what God wants in!  If you enjoy a book that starts out full of action and ends in a way you would never expect in a million years, Wisdom Hunter by Randall Arthur is for you!  I cannot give enough stars for the review of this book!

Don't just sit there!  Head over to Random House and pick up your copy today!  I can't wait to pick up a copy of his other book, Jordan's Crossing.

Shadow Government by Grant R. Jeffrey Review

Shadow Government

How the Secret Global Elite Is Using Surveillance Against You

by Grant R. Jeffrey

ABOUT THIS BOOK

Security cameras, surveillance of your financial transactions, radio frequency spy chips hidden in consumer products, tracking of your Internet searches, and eavesdropping on your e-mail and phone calls. Without your knowledge or consent, every aspect of your life is observed and recorded. But who is watching the watchers?

An ultra-secret global elite, functioning as a very real shadow government, controls technology, finance, international law, world trade, political power, and vast military capabilities. Those who hold power are invisible to all but a few insiders. These unrivaled leaders answer to no earthly authority, and they won’t stop until they control the world.

In Shadow Government, Grant Jeffrey removes the screen that, up to now, has hidden the work of these diabolical agents. Jeffrey reveals the biblical description of Satan’s global conquest and identifies the tools of technology that the Antichrist will use to rule the world.

Your eyes will be opened to the real power that is working behind the scenes to destroy America and merge it into the coming global government. Armed with this knowledge, you will be equipped to face spiritual darkness with the light of prophetic truth.

My Review

Shadow Government by Grant R. Jeffrey is not the typical kind of book I would read.  It's filled with information on different ways the government is watching us and how we are quickly heading into Tribulation times.  I believe that Rapture is going to happen but I also believe that you can live a life waiting to see the wolf in sheeps clothing around every corner.  I'd rather spend my time preparing to be with my Lord and let Him decide when the end of the world will happen.

If you enjoy real life christian romance or rapture prediction type books, this is the book for you!  You can purcase Shadow Government from Random House!
