I wasn’t sure how God was going to use this book in my life, but after reading Days 2 and 3 (dealing with patience and kindness respectively), I can honestly say that it was Divine Providence that allowed me gain access to this book. I have struggled with wrongly directed anger issues towards my young son for a while now (getting upset with him for even the slightest mistake), and Day 2 felt like it was written specifically for me. This quote really spoke to me: "Patience is always welcome. It gives people more time to work through their issues. It beautifully diffuses conflict before trouble has a chance to escalate. It whispers peace into situations brewing toward eruption. It’s not a blanket form of tolerance that lets everything go, but rather a wise surveyor of the situation, allowing proper steps to be taken." I think one of my struggles with showing too much patience with my son is that I think he will see it as weakness on my behalf and, instead of bringing him up "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" I will be bringing him up as an unruly child that will embarrass both his mother and I because he thinks he can get away with things all the time. However, the preceding quote really convicted me that showing patience is not weakness at all, but is a much better attribute to default too rather than anger.

"The Love Dare for Parents" is a book that needs to be read by all parents, and then re-read multiple times in order to drive us to our knees and make us more dependent upon God’s grace to love our kids the way that God designed us too.
The Kendrick brothers are at it again! Yeah for all of us who are striving to live every moment of this life intentionally for our creator. We Wachters are huge fans of their films from Flywheel right on through to Courageous. Although I don’t mind saying, Fireproof is our all time favorite. It’s right up there with Disney Cars, which my kids have watched a hundred times if they watched it once. And they certainly did watch it once.

This time the Kendricks have combined the Love Dare they created with Fireproof and the idea of being a purposeful parent they stressed in Courageous to write The Love Dare For Parents. When this came across my email I jumped at the opportunity to review it. The Love Dare has helped so many couples get back to God’s way and purpose for marriage. I couldn’t wait to see what they would do for parents and children. If you are familiar with the original Love Dare you may be asking some of the same questions I was. As the mother of nine children my primary question was how can you implement a one on one plan with so many hearts to reach? Is this going to be the same old kind of parenting book you read day after day? Or will it be like so many sequels to popular Bible studies that are just the same deal with a different cover?

Alex and Stephen answered all my questions right out of the gate. They suggest several different ways to carry out the love day with more than one child. What I decided to do was to follow each day with each of my children. Some days can be carried out with all the children at one time. And when the time comes where I need a day for each child I will do that day for nine days and then pick up again with the next day.

For example day 1 is all about telling our kids we love them.
A few years ago, a movie ignited fires in marriages around the world. It displayed to hurting couples that love is a choice and marriage is a commitment. The movie Fireproof centers around a 40-day challenge called the The Love Dare. A dare for husbands and wives to practically practice unconditional love towards each other.

Three years later, authors Alex and Stephen Kendrick have furthered this dare to include parents. The Love Dare for Parents follows the same concept. 40 days of practical, Scriptural-driven ideas to help a parent "understand, practice, and communicate Christ-like love to their children."

Each day’s chapter includes a Scripture verse, a reading passage concerning the topic, a challenge to implement that day, and space to journal. Eight separate appendixes further the teaching.

To begin, the authors encourage you to take a free personalized parenting assessment. It took just a few minutes to take and showed the strengths and weaknesses of specific areas of my parenting. Then the results showed which days of the challenge would focus on the areas.

The authors grabbed my attention right way with this introductory sentence.

Approximately 6,575 days pass between a child’s birth and his or her eighteenth birthday.

Oooo…that is not may days. Every day, that number is getting smaller and I have less time to love on and mold my children. To prepare them to be used by God and to love others as God would love.

Reading through the challenges, I liked how intentional they were. I can see where focusing for 40 days on my children in this way would be very rewarding. The dares reminded me how precious my children are and how much they desperately want and need my unconditional love.

The Forgotten Room

The Forgotten Room: A Novel Audible – Unabridged ridged
Author: Lincoln Child ID: B00UKE53IK

New York Times best seller Lincoln Child returns with a riveting new thriller featuring the charismatic and quirky Professor Jeremy Logan, renowned investigator of the strange and the inexplicable, as he uncovers a long-lost secret experiment only rumored to have existed. Jeremy Logan (The Third Gate, Deep Storm) is an “enigmalogist” – an investigator who specializes in analyzing phenomena that have no obvious explanation. In this newest novel, Logan finds himself on the storied coastline of Newport, Rhode Island, where he has been retained by Lux, one of the oldest and most respected think tanks in America. Just days earlier, a series of frightening events took place in the sprawling seaside mansion that houses the organization. One of its most distinguished doctors began acting erratically – violently attacking an assistant in the mansion’s opulent library and, moments later, killing himself in a truly shocking fashion. Terrified by the incident and the bizarre evidence left behind, the group hires Logan to investigate – discreetly – what drove this erudite man to madness. His work leads him to an unexpected find. In a long-dormant wing of the estate, Logan uncovers an ingeniously hidden secret room, concealed and apparently untouched for decades. The room is a time capsule, filled with eerie and obscure scientific equipment that points to a top-secret project long thought destroyed, known only as “Project S.” Ultimately the truth of what Project S was…and what has happened in that room…will put Logan in the path of a completely unexpected danger. One of his most thrilling novels to date, The Forgotten Room is replete with veiled, fascinating history and all the exhilarating action and science that are the hallmarks of a Lincoln Child blockbuster.
Done.
Audible Audio EditionListening Length: 9 hours and 54 minutesProgram Type: AudiobookVersion: UnabridgedPublisher: Random House AudioAudible.com Release Date: May 12, 2015Whispersync for Voice: ReadyLanguage: EnglishID: B00UKE53IK Best Sellers Rank: #138 in Books > Audible Audiobooks > Mysteries & Thrillers > Suspense #151 in Books > Mystery, Thriller & Suspense > Thrillers & Suspense > Supernatural #178 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Genre Fiction > Historical > Fantasy

A level-headed scientist at The Lux, an elite think-tank, begins to show signs of distress and strange behaviour. One day he comes completely unhinged, injuring his assistant and getting himself locked into a library by security for his own protection. Bent on destruction, he manages to kill himself in a thoroughly horrific way. Enter Jeremy Logan, the world’s only enigmalogist, and an alumni who was invited to leave the Lux some years before.

This is the fourth in the Logan series, which lives in the shadow of the Agent Pendergast series that Child writes along with Douglas Preston. I don’t think it’s quite on the same level, but it doesn’t miss by much. Child is an exquisite writer who doesn’t describe a scene so much as paint it, and then brings it fully to life along with his characters. The Lux, an old and slightly creaky mansion, takes on a disturbingly eerie aura. It’s supposedly haunted, and you’re left to wonder if it really is, or if there’s another explanation for the strange events that continue to unfold. Nothing is predictable, and you’re kept perched on the edge of your seat for the entire ride. The book starts out at Loch Ness, where Logan was hired to debunk the Nessie theory, and provides an enchantingly entertaining take on that enduring old myth.

You can read this without having read the other Logan entries, but it’s really better to start at the beginning. That said, this is easily the best entry in the series, and highly recommended. My only criticism is that I read Child’s books much faster than he writes them, and I really wish he’d crank up the production just a tad!

I’ve been a fan of Child’s novels with Douglas Preston for a number of years now. And as such, I also continue to follow their independent books like this one as well, though I must admit that I never enjoy these solo works as much as the books that they work on together – they always seem to lack something…

In Child’s latest enigmalogist hero, Dr. Jeremy Logan, who has appeared in some of Child’s earlier books, though there isn’t really enough of an overlap to necessitate reading these in order, first addresses a crowd guaranteeing there isn’t a Nessie after all. And moments later, the book makes me wish that it had opened a few weeks earlier when Logan reveals that there is a Loch Ness monster after all… Instead, Logan returns to his roots to investigate the odd suicide of a researched at a private institute called the Lux that Logan himself had been asked to leave years earlier.

With short chapters and methodical clues, this is a fast read that is also entertaining. Cliffhangers keep the pages turning, though it does take some time for the reader to feel like much genuine progress has been made. And surprisingly, this is a more straightforward thriller than some of Logan’s earlier appearances. And there isn’t any off-the-rails stuff either, which keeps this even more exciting and fast-paced as the plot picks up. Child nicely maintains the tension throughout which makes this one of the strongest yet of Child’s solo novels!

The success of the writing duo of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child always gives me hope that books written by just one of the pair will equal the output of the team. This hasn’t happened yet, and certainly not in this lackluster tale. Professor Jeremy Logan ought to be a fascinating person, with somewhat paranormal abilities (as an empath) and a unique profession as an enigmalogist. His business is to explore mysteries and get to the bottom of them. Are they scientifically provable, supernatural, a hoax or something else? Half of this book consists of rapturous descriptions of an old house, whose original wainscoting is drooled over as much as the modern table linens. The author has a knack for description, but his enthusiasm is at the cost of, oh, character development, for instance. There isn’t any. What you see on the first page is exactly what you see on the last, and most of the characters are so one-dimensional that they might have slid onto the page from an alternate universe. There is hardly any action until the last third of the book, when suddenly things start hopping…just in time to wake up the drowsy reader who was nodding off while reading about yet another blueprint or column or whatever. I’m annoyed because I’m still going to buy his next book and hope that he improves. But, if you haven’t sampled a novel by Lincoln Child yet, be warned…much architectural detail and very little plot lies ahead for you.
