Book Review: God Is ...: Lessons I Learned about God in College by Nysi Kilgore

God Is ...: Lessons I Learned about God in College by Nysi Kilgore

Going to college can be hard. Going to college in a different state makes it even more difficult and lonesome. In the book God Is...: Lessons I Learned about God in College by Nysi Kilgore, the author takes us along with her through her college years.

Along the way, Kilgore learned that she did not have to do it all alone. She did not have to be perfect and not everyone is your friend.

The author provides scripture references, most of them from The Message, regarding the issue discussed. If you are from a more traditional church background, you may want to keep a copy of your favorite translation of the Bible handy so that you can read the scriptures in a more traditional format.

We give God Is… all five stars. We feel this book is very well-written and timely for anyone getting ready to head off to college or who is already there.

This book would make a great reference for the older youth to use in a small Bible discussion group, so you may wish to buy multiple copies.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book. We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Book Review: Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change by Hannah Alper

Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change by Hannah Alper






Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change by Hannah Alper is a book meant to let young people know that they can make a difference in this world. Age does not define you nor does it restrict one’s ability to make a difference in someone’s life. Kindness always makes a difference!

This book, written by a young teenager, is full of the stories of young people out there doing what they can to make this world a better place overall and to bring a smile to someone’s heart. The young people all face different challenges - there are people out there that think kids can’t do anything of importance - but they tough their way through the challenges before them to bring about the changes they are seeking.

In the Bible, John 15:12, we are commanded by Jesus to love one another: “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” The young people represented in Momentus are doing their part to “love one another” and making the world a better place. They are making a difference.

If you need inspiration, can’t think of what you can do to make a difference to even just one person, pick up a copy of Momentus. You will find plenty of ideas. Sometimes all it takes is a smile to make someone’s day. No matter your age, you can do this!
