Book Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid #2 - Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney
6/10 Well, the first diary was so successful that Greg’s mother got him another one. Full of more stories that on the surface would be boring, told from Greg’s point of view they become interesting. A quick, entertaining read, this is a book I would recommend to younger audiences. It’s got plenty of humor and the things that Manny does is genuinely worrisome if not hilarious. A decent book to…

Book Review: Narnia #1 (Chronological) #6 (Published) - The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis
8/10 There are two ways to read the Narnia books in order, and I have chosen the chronological approach. That being said, The Magician’s Nephew is an excellent way to begin the series, as it shows the beginning of Narnia itself. In this book, meet Digory, who becomes an interesting character in later books, and Polly, a neighbor. Due to Digory’s uncle, they end up in a strange place. To spite…

Book Review: A Cloud by Day, a Fire by Night by A.W. Tozer
8/10 As is usual of Tozer’s writing, he is more scholarly than others I’ve read, however his theology is solid. Exploring the theophany of the cloud by day and fire by night. Tozer connects it to finding the will of God in your life. I will definitely have to reread this in the future to more fully digest the information. If you’re a new Christian, this is probably not the best book for you.…
