But luckily about a third of the novel was recapping so some of the details did start to come back to me. To be completely honest I wasn’t very keen on the first book, but I decided to read Devoted anyway as I was curious to see where the storyline would go. This is the second book in the Elixir series that is co-written by the celebrity Hilary Duff and another writer called Elise Allen. I know it makes no sense, neither does this book. Overall Impression: My overall thoughts on this book? Interestingly weird, and weirdly interesting. ![]() ![]() We see Jane's mother Frances (Marchioness of Dorset and niece to Henry VIII), disappointed not to have born a son, raising her eldest daughter harshly. Events are shown through the eyes of a variety of actors on this historical stage, from Jane herself and her mother to Katherine Parr and the Duke of Northumberland (I often found the switches of viewpoint confusing). A reluctant Lady Jane, whose great-uncle was King Henry VIII - was placed by a group of conspirators (including her parents) on the throne of England for nine days. I nnocent Traitor tells the story of Lady Jane Grey, who was beheaded at the age of fifteen in November 1553 on the orders of her cousin, Queen Mary of England. Innocent Traitor: A Novel of Lady Jane Grey by Alison Weir ![]() ![]() ![]() Working closely with Meg Lowman, author Heather Lang and artist Jana Christy beautifully capture Meg's world in the treetops. She studied, invented, and persevered, not only creating a future for herself as a scientist, but making sure that the rainforests had a future as well. Male teachers would not let her into their classrooms, the high canopy was difficult to get to, and worst of all, people were logging and clearing the forests. But she encountered challenge after challenge. Meg set out to climb up and investigate the rain forest tree canopies - and to be the first scientist to do so. Meg Lowman was always fascinated by the natural world above her head - the colors, the branches, and, most of all, the leaves and mysterious organisms living there. ![]() This picture book biography tells the story of Meg Lowman, a groundbreaking female scientist called a "real life Lorax" by National Geographic, who was determined to investigate the marvelous, undiscovered world of the rainforest treetops. ![]() Meg’s perseverance and creativity allowed her to achieve this goal, but when this fantastic ecosystem started to disappear, Meg needed to act quickly.

It is one of the most translated texts in world literature. ![]() ![]() Its influence has spread widely within the globe's artistic and academic spheres. Many artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and gardeners, have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China. The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. The oldest excavated portion dates back to the late 4th century BC, but modern scholarship dates other parts of the text as having been written-or at least compiled-later than the earliest portions of the Zhuangzi. ![]() The Tao Te Ching ( UK: / ˌ t aʊ t iː ˈ tʃ ɪ ŋ/, US: / ˌ d aʊ d ɛ ˈ dʒ ɪ ŋ/ simplified Chinese: 道德经 traditional Chinese: 道德經 pinyin: Dàodé Jīng ( listen)) is a Chinese classic text written around 400 BC and traditionally credited to the sage Laozi, though the text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated. ![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, a very relevant, honest read that addresses the stumbling blocks in our Christian culture, and encourages believers to strive toward the prize, with a right knowledge and understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ living it out in our daily lives, and encouraging others to do likewise. Inserra uses many good examples, often drawing from his own personal life to show the importance of not growing lax in our witness because someone is a good person or identifies with a few of Jesus's teachings. He also talks about how to initiate deeper conversations on faith with cultural Christians, as well the importance of the great commission to continue to pray and witness to others, even if they state that they are already Christians. ![]() ![]() As it is easy to be the Pharisee at times, seeing our friends and family as unworthy tax collectors. Inserra calls us not just to look at the splinter in another's eye, but to also examine ourselves for traces of cheap grace. Incredibly relevant, this book addresses cultural Christianity directly discussing barriers within the church that prove a challenge to a personal saving relationship, recognition of our sin and God's holiness in today's culture. Dean Inserra draws from his own personal experiences as he discusses in this reader friendly and concise book the difference between knowing God, and knowing about God. How do you reach someone who doesn't know Jesus, if they say that they are already a Christian? ![]() ![]() The book is not just about politics but also covers the social and cultural changes that have taken place in India over the past seven decades.
