"The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman (1992) - REVIEW

Goodday and welcome to

"The B.B. Weekly Review"

This book would make a FABULOUS Christmas present!

Review: Incredible!! "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman is a book that should be in every home's library. This book deals with learning how to love your spouse, from a Christian point of view, whether you have been married for a long time or not! Chapman thoroughly explores the five love languages; 'Words of Affirmation', 'Quality Time', 'Gift Giving', 'Acts of Service' and 'Physical Touch', detailing how to love your spouse in his or her primary language. 'Emotional Love' keeps the 'Love Tank' full and your marriage strong and growing. A book for anyone and everyone who wants to love those are them in the most effective way. The Five Love Languages can also be applied to children and friends, but this specific book is geared towards spousal love. We also have this book in the "Men's Edition"...but I have not read this version. :)

My Rating: 5/5

"The Family Nobody Wanted" by Helen Doss (1954) - REVIEW

Goodday and welcome to

"The B.B. Weekly Review"

Review: "The Family Nobody Wanted" (1954)  by Helen Doss has been my favourite book since I first picked it up at the local homsechool lending library at the age of eight. I have read and re-read the book countless times. I never tire of the children's antics, or Helen and her Metholodist Minister husband, Carl Doss. After finding out that they can not physically have children of their own, they begin the long and arduous process of adoption. After struggling with their first adoption, and not wanting an only child, they decide to adopt "just one more baby" whihc turns into eleven more children in the next ten years! The rambunctious brood of twelve is made up of mixed race children that "nobody else wanted" to adopt. The book is filled with humorous tales of the children and their parents and is a heartwarming true story of one family who made a difference in so mnay people's lives.

My Rating: 5/5

"Life With Father" by Clarence Day Jr. (1920) - REVIEW

Goodmorning and welcome to

 "The B.B. Weekly Review"

For my first review I have chosen a book called "Life With Father" by Clarence Day Jr., first copyright  1920.

I chose this book, firstly, because I just finished reading it this morning, and secondly because I wanted to start my blog off with an easy and fun read. 

"Life With Father" by Clarence Day Jr. is a true story about the daily life of a red-headed, New York family in the late 1800's. Each chapter reveals a different incident or characteristic in "Father's" life, making it easy to read either "on-the-go" or all at once. The Author remembers "Father" from a child's perspective, adding hilarity to every chapter as Father continuously loses his temper or forces his views and ego on everyone around him. "Father" rules the house and the money, but "Mother" is continually outwitting and scheming to get what she needs. Though often humourous at "Father's" expense, the book comes across as a wonderful and respectful memoire. Written in early 20th Century style, some people may find this book hard to relate to. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who likes a good chuckle. 

My Rating: 4/5
