What I Read In August
Happy Friday Everyone!
At the end of July I realized that I had SEVERAL non-fiction books on my cart that I still hadn't read. August felt like the right time and I managed to get through more than I expected.

10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask About Christianity
🌟🌟🌟
📚 Synopsis: Discover that the questions that once looked like roadblocks to faith might actually be signposts
📌 Review: It's a good resource, but I felt that as soon as it started to get somewhere the author backpedaled from making a solid argument.
Grand Illusions
🌟🌟🌟
📚 Synopsis: The origins of Planned Parenthood and it's founder, the ideology that was promoted by her and her organization to the American people, and how it was bankrolled by our tax dollars.
📌 Review: The book is old, like 1988 old. If you know nothing of the origins of PP, this is a fantastic and easy read. I did feel at times some of the personal accounts were too drawn out.
The Artist's Way
🌟🌟🌟
📚 Synopsis: Cameron takes readers on an amazing twelve-week journey to discover the inextricable link between their spiritual and creative selves.
📌 Review: In an effort to be inclusive of an open definition of God and Creator she falls short of acknowledging the wonder of God and His creating us in His image as a Creative. She does have some good ideas and tips on developing one's creativity.
