This adorable little Bible was created for brides in mind. It's the NKJV Bride's Bible from Thomas Nelson. It's an adorable little white Bible, with a leather cover and an imprinted floral design on the front. It comes in a little box to keep it protected! Inside, it's a Bible just like any other. Not much to expand upon there! There aren't any study materials or extra information in this Bible. What is different about this Bible is that there are pages in the front for brides to fill out. This includes the date, time, and location of the ceremony, memories from the day, a page to list the wedding party, the story of how you met, the proposal story, and details from the bridal shower.  This would be a really great gift for a bridal shower! I think I am going to give it to my best friend at her shower! Overall, this Bible gets 5 stars. *I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This is a short devotional that only takes about 10 minutes of your day. It takes you through a few verses of Proverbs each day, along with some devotional content, a prayer, and questions to consider. This book focuses on increasing in wisdom. I loved reading this, and filled up so many pages of my journal as I did. My eyes were really opened to things I am guilty of and need to change, and I have found myself thinking back to what I learned in this book when I encounter a situation where I can be either wise or a fool. I really do think that this book has made a positive impact on me, and I am eager to share it with others! The book itself is smaller than a normal book in size, but very cute with smooth and shiny pages. I gave this book 5/5 stars. *I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a review. I was not required to write a positive view. All opinions are my own.

Stirling, in my opinion, is the greatest city in the world. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, full of nature, beauty, history, and excitement. It is also where I lived for a summer while I studied abroad. If you get the chance to go to Scotland, I highly recommend visiting the central city of Stirling, and here are 5 things you should see while you're there. 1. Stirling Castle The childhood home of Mary Queen of Scots and the ruling place of countless other heroes of history, Stirling Castle is one of the most important locations in Scotland.  2. Hike Dumyat Pronounced Du-my-at, this steady climb up 1,371 feet for amazing view of the city of Stirling. As you walk, you'll encounter sheep and highland cows (coos) along the way. 3. Wallace Monument If you've seen Braveheart, you've heard of William Wallace. This monument is built on the spot where William Wallace and his men watched the British approach b...

This is a beautiful daily devotional, perfect for the summertime, all about the beauty of nature and God's love for us. Each  day had a short devotional and a prayer after.  It is the perfect thing to read outside in the summer, or keep open on a table at the cabin. I adored this, and though I read through it all already, I want to keep it around and read through it each summer. I definitely would recommend it to anyone, and I gave it 5/5 stars. 

This is a complete, verse-by-verse guide to understanding the book of Revelation. It gives context about importance, author and dates, interpretations, attitudes toward it, and an outline of each section. The author underlines the fact that the book of Revelation was meant to clarify, not mystify.  When reading through this, I would recommend reading the verses in your Bible, and then reading the interpretation, rather than reading the book cover to cover. You should use this as a guide while you read your Bible.  I completely loved this commentary. The purpose of this series is to help all readers understand the Bible, even if they are not studying it professionally. This definitely helped me, and I am excited to pick up more of the Everyday Bible Commentary books! I gave this 5/5 stars!

This book is all about Biblical dream interpretation. This author believes that God continues to speak to people through dreams, and has guides and references to help readers interpret those dreams. Her goal is to help people understand what God is already saying to them through their dreams.  First, before she went into interpretation, she outlined the Biblical foundations that this book is built on, which I really appreciated. She also pointed out that you can't fully and correctly interpret your dreams on your own: you need the help of the Holy Spirit, and friends who can look at it objectively. It also really thoroughly explains the "how" of Biblical interpretation, and answered lots of common questions. When I received this book, I thought the idea of dream interpretation was kind of weird. However, once I read it, I really saw the value in it, and have used the book as a reference to try interpreting my own dreams. Overall, I gave this book 4/5 star...

This book is all about moving out of poverty, not with riches, but with Biblical wealth. The author grew up in poverty thinking that wealth was evil. However, in adulthood, as he worked to move out of poverty, he learned that it can't be evil, because heaven is full of riches. So what does the Bible say about poverty, riches, and wealth? God blesses us with wealth: these are the qualities, skills, and attributes that God has given us to do His work and advance His Kingdom.  He also talks about the fact that it is okay to have money and to buy things. It's okay to have nice things, as long as those things don't have you.  He gives lots of principles and ideas to get yourself out of that poverty mentality to see the wealth that God has blessed us with.  The first half of the book seemed aimed toward personal life application, while the second half definitely focused on using these principles as you run a business. Personally, I think that he went to...
