Real Church (Reviewed 9/2/2009)At first glance of this book, my burning question was-“Am I going to make it through the first section of this book?” I also initially thought that I might lose interest like the author describes regular and faithful churchgoers are experiencing across the country.

Boomtown (Reviewed 12/9/2008)Boomtown, Chang's Famous Fireworks Factory (Book One) is a truly delightful read! You will be hooked after reading the first page. The author does a wonderful job of transporting us to a small town set in the late 1940's. After reading this book, I wished there was still a place like this in which to ...
