Review + giveaway for "I Dare You" by Isabella Morganthal



Today I am so excited to share with you a review on Isabella Morganthal's book "I Dare You" (yes dear readers, there will be a giveaway as well lol).

I was very grateful that she let me review her book!!

I heard about it from my dear friend Chloe and from Rhey. And after I learned that it was on stopping human trafficking, I knew it was something that I wanted to review.

I absolutely love this book!  I'm a big fan of "Do Hard Things" and "Start Here" by Alex and Brett Harris, so when Isabella presented her readers with challenges, I fell in love with the book even more!

Isabella does an amazing job presenting the importance of becoming aware whether something is fair trade or not, doing your part in not supporting companies who aren't, etc.
Her book is overflowing with Scripture and wisdom - I was very impressed.  It's not everyday you read a book written by a young person and have it overflowing with knowledge, Scripture, wisdom, and much more.

Her book is described as this (taken from the back of the book):
Bullying. Homelessness. Abortion. Human trafficking. It doesn't take much searching to discover that there are a lot of things wrong in our world today. What could one person possibly do about all these issues? In I Dare You, Isabella Morganthal dares you to step out and make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ. She helps you dig deep and discover your passion, while encouraging you to do something about it. This is a dare to give everything you have to Jesus and watch Him do amazing things with your life. This is a dare to make your life count. This is a dare to change your world.

I encourage everyone to get their hands on this book, and allow God to speak to you through this wonderful book.

Kate's Innocence by Sarah Holman || Book Review

Today I am going to review a wonderful book ... called ...



This book is hands down the best book I have ever read.  It had me at the edge of my seat, and I didn't want to put it down.  I ... ummm ... may have finished it in one night ;P

Sarah Holman did a fantastic job making the "love" in this book so pure and clean.  She did a wonderful job with keeping the FBI work seem real, but yet also somewhat fictional.  Her writing style is absolutely fun to read, she makes the book come to life.  This is the second book in which I felt I was actually there - love when that happens :D

I am really looking forward to the second book - why does patience have to be so hard????? :P

I definitely give this book a five star rating!!!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful evening!!
