Currently Reading

I am reading 183 Times a Year by Eva Jordan. There are 49 chapters in this book so it is going to take me a while  to write a review. I will be posting a reading progress update soon.

Side note: I got a new job. I start tomorrow  and I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am working at the Kiddie Academy as a Teacher's Aide. I hope everyone has a good week.

Review: Found in Translation ( Altered Hearts Book 1) by Rodger Burner

Here is a summary of what the book is about. Spoiled eighteen-year-old Kim Hartlinger arrives late to orientation for a mission trip to Mexico-she carelessly missed her flight-only to learn the project has changed. Construction in a remote village without plumbing and  electricity rather than evangelism in a medium-sized town with numerous souvenir and fast food places.

Kin's negative overreaction to the change angers the project leaders and her teammates and immediately makes her the least popular team member. She's determined to do better, though. And to be obedient to God.

When Kim breaks her arm, she feels useless. She wants to do evangelism, but the team didn't bring a translator and the villagers don't speak any English. Kim knows nada Spanish, and her "dual-language Bible" turns out to be Spanish-only.

Kim undertakes two one-handed projects. The first is her own idea. The second is God's, though, and it sounds crazy. Crazier than crazy. But will it touch the villagers' hearts with the Gospel? How can she even find out?

Wow what an amazing story. I absolutely enjoyed reading this one.

It is the type of book that reminds you of what is truly important and that is God. Reminder number two is no matter how bad you think you have it... there are other people who are worse off than you.

I would highly recommend this book. I can see myself reading it again.

Happy Reading Everyone!
