dystopia

Offworld by Robin Parrish is a science fiction story that wraps together Mars, Earth, humanity and many other factors. The story is full of surprises and a couple of twists that you don’t see coming. The book illustrates many common human fears and emotions. I’m not sure there was supposed to be one direct message to get across in the book, however they’re were a few things I did take away from the book and it was a good adventure story. The story was full of fighting, surviving and struggle throughout an incredible ordeal that not many people could imagine. The book made me think about a few things, most definitely the future and mankind being on Earth. The story was not drawn out too much and it was able to hold my attention and kept me wanting to read and learn more. It’s not until closer to the end of the book when you finally realize what exactly is going on in the story. To anyone who enjoys science fiction or adventure tales I would recommend this book. It’s a good story of life, love and the human spirit. I am a book reviewer for Bethany House Publishers. To become a book reviewer for Bethany House please go to: Bethany House

This book is a read and share version of the Bible for toddlers. The book includes 40 short bible stories with beautiful and colorful illustrations of bible characters and animals. The book also includes a DVD that also has short stories on it to hold the attention of toddlers. The DVD is an hour long. The book and DVD has stories from both the old and New Testament of the bible. I thought this was a very cute little book and would make the perfect gift for someone who has a child of toddler age or for any nursery school teacher at a church. The book explains the stories in simple and easy terms to relate to small children and I liked how it also included a recommended activity at the end of each story to do with your child to help them learn from the story further. I liked that the book included so many different stories from the bible for children to hear and that you could make learning about them fun with the book and DVD. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants their children to learn about God and the stories of the bible, as well as any Sunday school teacher who is sharing the word of God with children. This book is very inexpensive and is definitely worth every penny. I would also highly recommend it as the perfect gift for a toddler aged child.
