21 Dangerous Prayers by Gary Rohrmayer is a very short booklet with 21 prayers taken from the Bible along with some commentary for each. Then it has a couple pages of the same questions for reflection after each chapter. It's good it only cost a dollar! I wasn't very impressed with it but bought it since it was a church-wide thing we were doing together. It could be used as a devotional. I was expecting it to be more like The Risk Factor: Crossing the Chicken Lineinto Your Supernatural Destiny by Kevin and Chad
Dedmon.

"21 Dangerous Prayers" by Gary Rohrmayer
"There Will Come a Darkness" by Katy Rose Pool
In There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool, the age of darkness is coming to the land but, all is not lost. According to legend, a new prophet will rise and be the savior. But who is that? and will he or she be able to do it? This book covers five people who could be the hope for the world or the cause of the darkness predicted!
I thought this book was really, really good! The author told the story in such a way so I was really invested in the main characters! With tons of action that I did not know what was to come! I am amazed that this was the author's first book. Give it a chance. If there is a sequel, I will be on it!
(Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
Teaser from page 15: "There's no word about the prince," the woman continued. "He hasn't been seen in Nazirah since the coup. He's completely vanished."

"Finding Chika" by Mitch Albom
Finding Chika by Mitch Albom is a true story about a little girl, an earthquake, and the making of a family. Chika was born in Haiti. At age 5, she is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Mitch and his wife, Janine, bring her to America in hope of finding a cure. I thought this book was pretty good. I fell in love with Chika quickly. The story flowed well. This book will tug at your heart strings.
(Gerard's review, 4 stars)
Teaser from page 21: To be honest, Chika, for my first few years, I didn't understand a great deal about Haiti, or the orphanage, or how I was supposed to make the place work. The power would go off every day, the water would run out, deliveries of rice and bulgur would start and stop, and we never had enough medicine.

"A Bookshop in Berlin" by Francoise Frenkel
A Bookshop in Berlin by Francoise Frenkel tells the true story about owning and running a bookstore. It became a popular place until Hitler and his police took over in Berlin. Her shop was destroyed and she had to take off to save herself. This was fairly short and was pretty good but had some dull spots.

Teaser from page 14: Hide newspapers? Keep them under the counter? "Distribution of prohibited newspapers," that would have had me sent to a concentration camp.
