Latest Review: Ghost With Two Hearts by michael r french

George Müller's story sounds inspiring because of how much he achieved (how much good he did) after giving his life to Christ. From the review, anyone who loves religious (Christian) fiction would enjoy reading it. Congrats on BOTD!

When George's mother passed away when he was still a little child, his uncaring father all but abandoned him. Everything remained the same until his best friend and co-conspirator converted to Christianity. The life of George Müller, the primary character, is followed in this book. According to the reviewer, the author crafts a gripping tale of redemption, trust, love, and complete surrender to God's will through the use of the third-person point of view. The book that I enjoy most is a Christian one. eager to read this fantastic one. The review is written really nicely. Congratulations on BOTD, author.

Hi @Sakshi A Soni, I really enjoyed the sample and official review of "Life of George Muller". It reminded me of college, living in the fraternity house and parties. I look forward to reading the rest of the book. Good comments. @Mrlefty0706

Hi @Pandora10, I really liked the comments you posted on the George Muller book. Your interpretation of the book should help others better understand the story. For me it reminded me of the craziness in college during the early 1970s and I was so pleased that Beta helped put George on the right track by accepting Christ into his heart. Thank you. @Mrlefty0706

Hi @Ntokozo Joy Ndlovu, I recommend that you read the entire book to learn the life changes George made after accepting Christ into his life. This is an amazing book that parents and teenage children should read to understand that the waywardness of teens does not mean a life of crime but rather stumbling blocks in their growth. I have great hope for the Millennials and I hope they vote for the candidate that is going to protect our world from evil countries and focus on climate change so that future generations have breathable air, places close to the coasts to live, freedom of religion and no dictator in America. @Mrleftry0706

Hi @Bithiah, this is an incredibly well-written story about angels and demons that are affecting us on our way to Heaven. We can all learn from this book and change our lives so that we can go to Heaven when we die. Very good book and a great review. @Mrlefty0706

“Atlantis Revealed by Medieval and NASA Ocean Floor Maps & Ancient Mythology” by Riaan Booysen is a story that tries to prove that Atlantis existed based on Plato’s description and ancient maps. Booysen refers to his previous books Thera and the Exodus, Barbelo, the story of Christ and believes the Great Flood being the reason Atlantis went under the Ocean. The other theory is a comet struck Earth and caused the sinking of Atlantis. The book includes 20 chapters and Booysen used images, maps, pictures and history and beliefs of ancient tribes to support his writings in 191 pages of text. Booysen was a raised as a devout Christian but as an adult he began to have questions about his faith and he used this research to discover the truth behind Christianity. Booysen also researched the other continent that lies next to New Zealand and could be Atlantis. This is a well-written fascinating book that I look forward to reading and I have added it to my to-read list. Very good official review.

The world-building in this book was really impressive. It felt immersive, and I could picture everything so clearly. The plot could’ve been stronger in parts, but the setting made up for it.

Hi @Ray Thompson, I just read your comments on the official review of “Atlantis Revealed by Medieval and NASA Ocean Floor Maps & Ancient Mythology” and I found the book to be eye opening since I never realized that Plato had created ancient maps that showed where Atlantis was located. The premise that 1/3 of the scholars and leaders on Atlantis escaped before the land disappeared into the ocean and these people traveled to all parts of the world including North America. They taught leaders of many countries their amazing accomplishments which explains how the pyramids, water systems and places like Michu Pichu were developed. The book really made me think about the accomplishments around the world that are hard to explain how the people could have created them. @Mrlefty0706

Tom Day’s writing style is warm and approachable. He didn’t try to impress with big words or complex theology—instead, he connected straight to the heart. After reading, I felt both encouraged and convicted to be more intentional in how I welcome and disciple the children God puts in my path.

*Let the Children Come To* is a book I’d highly recommend to parents, teachers, church workers—really anyone who has a heart for the next generation. It reminded me that children’s faith is real, powerful, and worth investing in. I’m grateful I read it, and I know its message will stick with me for a long time.

This was very creative article from the author I really enjoyed it.
