As usual made me evaluate my opinions on giving. Kristoff and WuDunn write about challenging and potentially dry topic in a humane and engaging manner.

I have read the first book "Breakthrough" which was very exciting and thought provoking. "Leap" is a continuation but with an added spin to it. The characters continue in this 2nd story with new ones added. As I was reading, it made me wonder if what Mr. Grumley had written about can actually be fact. Has man been able to break the code to communicate with dolphins and primates? Considering our current situation with Russia and China, will there be a future conflict between us and them? And, if so, does the U.S. have a secret ally not of this earth? This author makes one think what the future will hold for all of us when one reads his stories.  On top of it all, it's THRILLING!

Loved this short read! Really makes you think about your own life and situations. I found myself questioning my own gifts, blessings, compassion and if i can do more for others. Would I have the right answers?

For me, Mr. Koontz's religious beliefs can, at times, get in the way of his story telling. I usually agree with his ethics if not the religion itself. As usual, the story telling is great, the story is intriguing. Another page-turner! Very well done. Loved the mystery. Not my favorite of his but I've read them all! Definitely a good read!

As with the first book in this series, the author once again takes the reader to Paradox Valley.  Not only are you transported to Paradox by means of the descriptive writing, you are made to reach your own awakening of mind and body.  You are challenged to think outside the box.  To abandon your safe way of thinking and try the new possibilities that you have before only dreamed of becomes your new objective.  I can hardly wait for the next book in the series to learn what has become of the characters as a result of their new ways of thinking.

Great story, thought provoking, and realizing there could be layers of other dimensions in which we can move to after life. Always the questions about good and evil and possibility of not only God's, but of beings who die and are evil, and always good prevails

Another action packed thought provoking book by Amanda G. Stevens,  When given the chance to review this second book of the series (Seek and Hide was the first) I couldn't wait to start reading!  I wasn't disappointed, it was also a page turner,

The author again makes me think about how I would handle the injustices brought about by the law and stand up for God in the midst of my trials.  Her writing takes you through the feelings of first bravery then fear of doing the right thing.  Joy and peace I know can be there too when you know that God is with you through it all.

I love the inclusion of non-Christians in the books.  Their willingness to fight to make the law right again is so courageous.  Throughout the book you begin to see what good people they are and hope they will become believers also.

I'm excited to read the next book in the series.  That being said, I was a bit disappointed at the conclusion of this book, that I felt left me with a few too many loose ends.

I was given a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Offworld by Robin Parris is a very good read.  I was not sure if I would like the book since I'm not that into science fiction, but this one kept me wanting to read the next page and the next.

It is a thought-provoking book because it leads me to contemplate just how far we, as a people, want to go to try to become god of our "universe".  Where is the stopping place?

Read this book and ponder the same questions.  But, on the way, enjoy the characters and the suspense of this novel.

This was a wonderful read. I instantly loved the first book, followed immediately by the rest. I enjoy the fiction and the characters mixed in with facts and historical truths. This story was at times an intense read....one I was hoping not to end! I would recommend this book as well as the series to anyone that loves a good thought provoking read. One you will think about well after you are done!

As usual, Brother Hill has truly blessed me with another thought provoking, spiritual pondering and nearly realistic novel. Although I've thoroughly enjoyed his prior work, this one right here had me constantly stopping and dealing with/thinking on the impact of what I was reading.

There are some points readers may feel a need to skip but I implore you to read it all to get the history, some chuckles and to connect the dots.

Although this is slated as Christian Fiction, the weight of it gave me pause as if some of my struggles were intertwined to make it non-fiction. Whether many believe or not, this work will definitely give you some promptings for consideration. I look forward to more and simply LOVE being blessed by this authors work.

I really enjoyed this book. It catches right from the 1st chapter. It is an easy read, but very thought provoking! There is a spiritual listen to be learn within the story plot. It flows easily & makes you want to what happens next. It has some unexpected endings & new beginnings. A must read!
