Passport 2 Purity ~ Heart to Heart time with your teen or preteen~ #REVIEW #PASSPORT2PURITY #FLYBY



 Our children’s innocence is under attack, and parents cannot win the battle with a single awkward "birds and the bees" talk or a strict set of rules. The Passport2Purity Getaway Kit helps build heart-to-heart communication between you and your pre-teen while laying a foundation of purity that will prepare them for the turbulent years ahead.







With the Passport2Purity Getaway Kit we as parents have the opportunity to take our teen or preteen aside and spend one-on-one time helping them see the dangers ahead and teaching them ways to deal with what is to come.  I took the time to look through the materials in the

Getaway Kit and read through portions of the Tour Guide for Parents.  I have found it difficult to talk to my preteens about some of the struggles they will face in the next few years.  With the materials provided in this Kit, it makes it easier for parents to share from the heart, guide our teens and grow closer throughout the weekend (or weeks) spent together.  



My daughter and I have just begun our journey.  We started with the first lesson, and decided that although we enjoyed our time together, we wanted to wait and invite our best friends (another Mother-Daughter team) to join us on a weekend journey.  So, we are waiting to complete our Kit until we can set up a weekend together with them.  Already we are excited about the time we have and will spend together discussing purity, Christian morals and strengthening our Mother-Daughter bond.  I hope to plan another weekend shortly after for my husband and son to do this Kit even though our son and I have discussed some of the issues dealt with in the Passport2Purity (P2P) materials.



From what I have already read, listened to and experienced; I HIGHLY recommend the Passport2Purity Getaway Kit for any parents or grandparents of children ages 10 - 18.  It is a wonderful guide that opens the lines of communication and truly brings the parent and child closer together to fight for our kids' innocence and moral integrity!








 It is hard for me to believe that my two oldest (ages 8 and 5 in this photo) are going to be 14 and 11 this summer.  Their childlike innocence has slowly been corrupted by the world's views on sex, relationships, parenting, etc.  With the P2P materials, I hope to stop the corruption in it's damaging path and restore their wonder and the strong parent/child relationships that will help them continue to grow in Grace, Purity and Faith in spite of what is yet to come in the next several years.





Once these two have completed the Passport 2 Purity series, I have another little one to take on the same journey in just a few short years.  Where once she was Mommy's little helper . . . .







She is now a rambunctious 7 year old who has already experienced bullying, ridicule, and other problematic issues with peers at school.





Passport2Purity from FamilyLife is a good start for our preteens, but it is up to us as parents to continue teaching Christian morals and reinforcing our parent/child relationship with our kids.


After we complete the Getaway Kit, I will be happy to update you as to how our experience was!  In the meantime I highly recommend checking out the links below and watch the short video provided to give you more insight into what this program teaches.







About P2P:




Your child begins the journey into adolescence in a world of sexting,
bullying, online stalking and moral defiance.  Innocence is under attack, and
you cannot win the battle with a single awkward talk or a strict set of rules. 
The primary defense for your child is a strong relationship with you and with
God.  FamilyLife developed Passport2Purity (P2P) to assist you in
building heart-to-heart communication with your preteen while laying a
foundation of purity that will prepare him or her for the turbulent years
ahead.  Through the shared listening experience, object lessons and guided
conversations of a P2P weekend getaway, you can set your son or daughter on a
journey of moral integrity - and strengthen the bond between you.  It is
designed to be used by a mother and daughter or a father and son when the child
is a preteen.  It is suggested that the materials be completed over a weekend
away from home, as the child may be more open to discussing the topics away from
his or her normal environment.  If this isn't possible, the material can be
completed over a period of four or five weeks.









About the getaway kit:



(1) Tour Guide for the parent, (1) Travel Journal for the preteen including 25 follow-up devotions, and (8) CDs containing 5 sessions, scripture memory songs and downloadable MP3s:  Session 1: Beginning the Journey - Challenges, Traps, and Choices; Session 2: Running With The Herd - Friendships and Peer Pressure; Session 3: Ready For An Upgrade? - Changes in Him, Changes in Her; Session 4: Destination: Lé Pure - Setting Boundaries; Session 5: Crossing The Date Line - Seeing Dating Differently

{Review & Giveaway} Illuminating Gracie by Lisa C. Temple


BOOK DESCRIPTION:





As
an old woman's lifeless body lies on a cold stone floor, her soul
stands before an angel who offers her a miraculous opportunity: the
chance to do it all again. But that is easier said than done. In order
to change the path her life has taken, she must put aside years of
self-loathing and pain, so she can help the young girl she once was
become the woman she should have been.




At
17 years old, Grace Bennett is a bitter young woman.
Though blessed with a loving family, looks and brains to spare, she
hides her


light under a bushel, spending most of her time in the
darkness of her mind with little more than sarcasm and self-pity to keep
her company.





But
things are about to change for Grace. While delivering food for her
family's bed and breakfast, she turns onto a desolate dirt road and
drives straight into her destiny.





It's on this isolated country lane that the damaged girl meets a strangely familiar old couple and two mysterious
young men. Together the group fights the demons that surround Grace, and they teach her what it means to let her light shine.





"Illuminating
Gracie" is, at once, a metaphorical tale of the fight between good and
evil and a spiritual saga of one girl's journey from darkness into the
light. If you liked "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games," you will love the
story of Gracie.






 My Review:

Illuminating Gracie is a story of good vs evil and rediscovering yourself.  In this novel Grace has lived her life and now stands before God and is given the choice to relive her life, but to do it "right" this time.  Her struggles with good and evil, with angels and demons is one that is easy to identify with.  Yet, I had a hard time reading about where the angel was "lying" to Grace for her "own good."  Just not my favorite part of this story ~  ( I was notified by the tour company and the author that this is Christian Fantasy - so therefore lying angels actually set the premise for the next book in the series.  That does make more sense with this story being Fantasy.)



Otherwise, the story was well written with only a few slow parts and portions that did not flow as well as they could. It is a fast paced read but make sure to take your time as this is not a light read, but one that makes the reader question "what if I could go back and do it again" while reading through this book.

Gracie is a strong willed, troubled teen who needs to face her choices in life and make hard decisions.  It is definitely a story with a strong moral lesson for today's teens and Young adults. 








ABOUT THE AUTHOR








Lisa
C. Temple is a lifetime resident of Montgomery, Alabama where she lives
with her husband Dana, with whom she has a 21-year-old son, Temp. She
is a graduate of Huntingdon College and Jones School of Law.
Illuminating Gracie is her debut novel.

1 Girl Nation - new Christian Girl Band Rocks - Review & Giveaway on Mom Loves 2 Read #1girlnation





About 1 Girl Nation:






Landing in the space where One Direction meets TobyMac, 1 Girl Nation is an
exciting blend of upbeat pop music, with lyrics that are totally focused on
living life for God, even while you’re young. 




1GN, as they’ve already been
dubbed, stars Carmen, Kayli, Kelsey, Lauryn Taylor and Lindsey, five girls with
a passion for telling their fans about Christ through their music. 




Their first
single, “While We’re Young,” can be heard on radio stations across the country
and their self-titled debut album is available now!
















Primary Audience: preteens, teens, and young adults (as well
as parents, too!)






My Review:

1GN is my girls' new favorite CD. This CD is the main music that plays every day in my home, along with their Christmas Program CD for church.  1GN is upbeat, energetic and fun with a positive message of faith, my girls and I all love to listen, sing along and dance along with Lindsey, Kayli, Lauren Taylor, Carmen & Kelsey. 



The music stays with me throughout the day, and into the night when I should be sleeping.  The song "While We're Young" is so fun and exciting that the lyrics and music is constantly in my mind.  I found myself singing this in my head, then out loud as I was doing laundry the other day - which of course prompted me to play the CD so I had some talent to sing along with.  



This girl group's Debut Album is one that is highly recommended by this Mom Blogger!  It would make a GREAT stocking stuffer for some young girl(s) - my girls are ages 5 1/2 and 9 - and though we don't fall into the primary audience - it is a big hit in our home - so even if your girl(s) are younger than teen/preteen - don't worry - they'll love it!

Personalized Kid's Stationary from Amy Adele ~ Review on Mom Loves 2 Read


http://www.amyadele.com/template/images/logo.jpg 


Amy Adele stationery is perfect for notes to send to family and friends.
Designs are available in incredible variety--designs include seasonal
themes, fun critters, floral themes, and many, many more. The flat cards
are so versatile.You can use them as invitations, announcements, thank
you notes, or just to send a "hello" to a friend!



I ordered the free set of kids stationary for this review for my middle child, older daughter who just turned 9.  She loves to send notes in the mail to her friends and she absolutely loves Peace Signs.  Her bedroom is decorated in peace signs and flowers so I knew this was the perfect card design for her.





I had this teen style "Peace Sign Flat Card" specially personalized with her name (pictured above is a sample card) so she could send personalized notes to her friends whenever she wanted.  She was so surprised when they arrived!  She said they were perfect and she sat right down at her desk and wrote a note right away . . . to me.  A "thank you for being such a nice Mom" note that I absolutely adore.



Amy Adele has a huge variety of styles and designs from everyday to holiday that would make a perfect personalized gift for a family member, teacher or friend, or just to have around for those quick notes!  Every young girl should have her own personal stationary - I had some when I was a young girl, and now my daughter has her own!

Review of Just Ella by Annette K. Larsen on Mom Loves 2 Read



Just EllaJust Ella by Annette K. Larsen  

Book Summary:



A Proper Romance



Ariella was only looking for a distraction, something to break up the monotony of palace life. What she found was a young man willing to overlook her title and show her a new and vibrant way of life. But when her growing feelings for Gavin spiral out of control and clash with the expectations of her station, she will discover that the consequences of her curiosity are far more severe than she’d imagined.



I watched in helpless horror as two guards hauled Gavin to his feet and dragged him from the room. My voice was frozen, unable to protest as another guard took hold of my arm, leading me upstairs. From the confines of my room, I stared into the darkness beyond my window, hoping to catch one more glimpse of Gavin. He was gone, and I wondered if he would have been better off if he had never met me.



I write clean romance. Why? Because that’s what I love to read, but over the years I’ve discovered it’s quite a challenge to find good clean romance. I believe it’s a genre that many people are looking for and too few authors are writing. My first novel, Just Ella, took me many years to write because I wanted it to be more than just a cutesy love story. I wanted it to have depth, to feel genuine. Hopefully I succeeded, but you’ll have to be the judge.






My Review:

This is a fun and sweet romance.  An intriguing story that is a great twist on the traditional Cinderella that I grew up with.  This Ella is much more enthusiastic and headstrong and is out to find adventure where ever she can find it.  It has great depth and the characters are likable and fun loving.  I enjoyed this book and would love to read more by this author.

annetteI was born in Utah, but grew up in Flagstaff Arizona and St. Louis Missouri, the fifth of seven children. I attended college at Southern Virginia University and Brigham Young University where I studied English and Theater. I now live in Idaho with my husband and four children. I have Charlotte Bronte to thank for the courage to write novels. After being bombarded with assigned reading about women who justified abandoning either their families or their principles in the name of love, I had the great fortune of reading Jane Eyre. And that was it: finally a heroine who understood that being moral and making the right choice was hard, and sometimes it hurt, but it was still worth it. After rereading it several years later, I realized that if I wanted more books to exist with the kinds of heroines I admired, then I might as well write a few myself. My books are about women who face hard choices, who face pain and rejection and often have to sacrifice what they want for what is right. The consequences are often difficult or unpleasant, but it the end, doing what’s right will always be worth it. I believe there is no substitute for good writing or good chocolate. Fortunately, one often leads to the other.

Review of Midnight Masquerade by Marcia Lynn McClure on Mom Loves 2 Read






midnight mas
Midnight Masquerade


Stavos Voronin was not as blind-eyed as many nobles and royals. Evony’s physical gestures—even the simplest movement of her hands—revealed that she had not always been destitute. The same was true of the children—of their polished manners and the boy’s knowledge of horses and tendency to be bold and fearless of strangers.

Ah yes, Stavos enjoyed a good mystery. After all, interest in the inexplicable circumstances surrounding the royals of Abawyth was the very thing that had lured him to the kingdom—the enigma of Abawyth’s twelve sleepy princesses. And yet now—now his mind was all the more intrigued. Not only was the obscurity of what had caused the profound and baffling torpidity of Abawyth’s princesses laid out before him, but also he found his curiosity intensely piqued over the riddle surrounding the very lovely Evony and her siblings.

As Stavos strode through the village resting on the outskirts of Abawyth Castle, his mind reeled with possibilities. His musings were drawn back to why he had come to Abawyth at all—to solve the conundrum surrounding the twelve beautiful princesses of Abawyth kingdom—to solve the seemingly impenetrable crux and thereby win the hand of one of Abawyth’s princesses, as his father, King Letholdus of Ethiarien, had commanded.














My Review:


I decided to sign up for this book tour due to the blurb about the book.  It sounded like a fun book to read.  I love remakes of classic Fairy Tales and this one did not disappoint.  I loved this re-do of the 12 Dancing Princesses story and especially loved the "prince" in this version.  The princess and her siblings in hiding was a wonderful way to capture a reader's attention, especially this reader!  I love the whole story, the adventure and mystery and the budding romance that is not supposed to be.  What a wonderful imagination this author has! 




This is one Fairy Tale that has definitely taken a detour from the Disney version and had a much appreciated upgrade to YA fantasy fiction.  I definitely recommend this for ages 15 and up and for any fairy tale, YA, fantasy lover or anyone who enjoys a book that can grab the readers' attention from beginning to end! 


Author Marcia Lynn McClure does it again with another masterpiece of fiction!

Keeper of Reign Book Excerpt & Giveaway on Mom Loves 2 Read


Keeper of Reign copy


Welcome to Mom Loves 2 Read - today I have a great book to spotlight for you. - I have not yet read it myself, but it sounds like an interesting fantasy adventure - check it out then feel free to enter the author sponsored giveaway!




keeper


Keeper of Reign

 


Books written in blood. Most are lost, their Keepers with them. A curse that befell a people. A Kingdom with no King. Life couldn’t get more harrowing for the Elfies, a blend of Elves and Fairies. Or for sixteen-year-old Jules Blaze. Or could it?
For Jules, the heir of a Keeper, no less, suspects his family hides a forgotten secret. It was bad enough that his people, the Elfies of Reign, triggered a curse which reduced the entire inhabitants to a mere inch centuries ago. All because of one Keeper who failed his purpose. Even the King’s Ancient Books, did not help ward off that anathema.
Now, Gehzurolle, the evil lord, and his armies of Scorpents, seem bent on destroying Jules and his family. Why? Gehzurolle’s agents hunt for Jules as he journeys into enemy land to find the truth. Truth that could save him and his family, and possibly even reverse the age-long curse. Provided Jules doesn't get himself killed first.


 






Amazon * Barnes & Noble









Excerpt:





THE WARNING GRANDPA gave had
frightened Jules then, as it did now.





“Jules, the days are coming,”
Grandpa Leroy had said, that bleak day as they sat before the fireplace. “One
day, Gehzurolle will intensify his efforts against us. Beware of that day.”





Picking up his Ancient Book,
Grandpa read, “Suspecting the lives of the now insignificant Fairy Elves will
be restored to the former glories they once enjoyed, the Scorpents and their
leader, Gehzurolle, the Lord of Shadows, will be driven to distraction. After
many failed attempts to annihilate the Race throughout the centuries,
Gehzurolle will scheme to extinguish every inhabitant of the land because
finally a Keeper has invited him into our Kingdom. He will spare no Elfie. Not
even those who work for him.’”





“But which Keeper would do
something like that?”





“One who’s desperate. When you
see the signs, Jules, you must flee. You and everyone in our family.
Immediately!”





“But why, Grandpa?”





“Because it means he’s close to
succeeding. He will seek us Keeper families first because without the Keepers
and our Books our Kingdom cannot survive. I entrust this knowledge to you for
you will take over from your mother as Keeper of the Book, just as she’d taken
over from me.” His grandfather’s gentle blue eyes locked with Jules’s own green
ones.





“But how will I know when this
will happen?”





“The Ancient Book says thieves
will come to steal—so beware. But these are no ordinary burglars, Jules. They
will destroy everything in their path. Whatever happens they mustn’t get our
Book.”
