Book Review: He Fights for You by Max and Andrea Lucado

He Fights for You by Max and Andrea Lucado

The premise of this “booklet” is to provide the reader with encouragement to face life’s challenges. The book starts with a rather confusing story about the walls of Jericho and then launches into 40 meditations. Each meditation consists of words of worship, scripture, and a prayer.

Overall, I didn’t get much from this booklet. The words of worship, scripture, and prayer didn’t always seem to match up with each other.

I usually enjoy reading Max Lucado’s works and recommend them to others. This booklet, however, can be skipped. 

Comment Regarding Article in Dec 19 Kiplinger Magazine

There is an article in the December 2019 issue of Kiplinger's magazine that describes the small cost of living increase that Social Security recipients will receive in 2020. Below is my comment to the editor of the magazine.



As I read “A Stingy Raise For Social Security Recipients” by Sandra Block in the December 2019 issue, I thought of my own raises for the past few years. They have been 1.42% for 2018, 1.21% for 2019, and will be 1.2% for 2020. Social Security for the same time frame has been 2%, 2.8%, and 1.6% respectively. I guess stinginess is everywhere these days.




Always thinking at Doe Valley.

Book Review: Super Cool Space Facts

Super Cool Space Facts by Bruce Betts

This is a book about space for kids. It is separated into five chapters:

• The Universe
• Stars and Constellations
• The Solar System
• Comets, Meteors, and the Sky Shows
• Rockets, Satellites, Astronauts, and more

The author writes about space in a way that is easy for children to understand and keep them engaged in the topic. The book is good for learning more about space and a great resource for a project, paper, poster that a child may have to complete for school.

The author also provides a resources section to learn more about space. There is also an index in the back to make it easier to find the information you are looking for in the book.

Overall, I recommend this book to be added to the kids collection / library for a pre-k to maybe 3rd grade student.
