Having four novellas in one book is like getting a sweet buy-one-free-one deal at my favorite store. I'm happy to have requested Among The Fair Magnolias from BookLook. I'm even happier to read it as I love the great quality of the four authors' writing. A Heart So True by Dorothy Love Even if this story is short, simple and took place in a span of a few days and then a couple of months after, I get the chance to know the personalities of the characters, which is wonderful. They are real: with … [Read more...]
Motherhood Takes Courage, Cymplified!
Motherhood is not for the faint-hearted. One has to be strong, to be courageous, to stand her ground in the face of equally strong tantrums. The heart must be prepared for thousands of rejections, most of which involves food that the mother prepares, only for the children to spit it out and push the plate away. She's crazy to give up her time for her children, when sometimes, the children won't give up their time to help her. She works so hard to buy a desired toy, only to have it … [Read more...]
All You Want to Know About the Bible in Pop Culture by Kevin Harvey, Cymplified!
One has to be updated on all Hollywood movies, TV series and popular music to be able to relate with and appreciate this book. Unfortunately, I am not. Therefore, it was difficult to finish this book. Even if there were synopses and brief descriptions, the details were important to be able to make the connection with the Bible. All You Want to Know About the Bible in Pop Culture shows that we can find God's messages everywhere; in stories, in TV shows, in songs, in movies, if we only … [Read more...]
Blissful in God, Cymplified!
A big change is underway in my life now. A change that I dreaded, but is important to my husband. A change that I was not looking forward to, because it means stepping out of my comfort zone. A change that is forcing me to face one of my huge fears. A change that has me feeling a wee bit alone. A change that has me feeling dazed. A change that has me feeling uncomfortable. This change brought to mind questions about myself. Am I ready to take the wheel and conquer the streets of Manila? I … [Read more...]
5 Snippets of Marmee’s Wisdom, Cymplified!
A photo posted by Cym M (@ceemee) on May 22, 2015 at 8:27pm PDT I was just a little woman myself when I first picked up this book. I was on the other side of the fence then. Meg, the eldest, caught my attention because she was the prettiest. I wanted to be pretty, like her. Writing was one of my pastimes after school, therefore, I had the tendency to admire also Jo for her imagination and her being a free spirit. I wanted to be a pretty tomboy. As I drew women and designed their clothes … [Read more...]
Life Is …… by Judah Smith, Cymplified!
Have you ever asked the question "What is life?" I think that most people, at some point in their lives, have wondered about the reason for their existence. I know I have. Many times. People dabble in different hobbies, even religions, to find out what they should be doing for the rest of their lives or where they should belong. Have you? "Why am I here?" "Why did you make me, God?" "What is the point of all these?" "What is the meaning of life?" I imagine entering a quaint coffee … [Read more...]
Resurrect with Jesus on Easter, Cymplified!
Easter is like a new year for believers and followers of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here! It's a day to die to self and live for God. It's a day to write or rewrite goals and resolutions in serving the Lord. It's a day to be reminded of the new life that God purchased for me through Jesus. It's a day to be grateful for that new life, a new chance. I know I'm more than a … [Read more...]
