The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip

In the Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold, reporter Aidyn Kelley, a struggling reporter seeks to find her big break. Unfortunately, not following proper procedure has really set her back. However, she is given a new assignment to write an obituary for a woman who is in hospice care. Mrs. Kip is spunky, wears track suits, and one of the most energetic women you’ll ever meet. However she is dying. This is very hard for Aidyn, a young reporter to process. Aidyn really wants the story to redeem herself. So she moves forward to interview Mrs. Kip. She completes her interview in a quick fashion without digging deep into details. However others in the nursing home and her employer know there is much more to the story. Will Aidyn figure it out? Will she be able to to discover what so special about Mrs. Kip? Will she be able to handle Mrs. Kip‘s death?

This story was definitely an interesting read. I’ve never quite read a book like this. It does go back-and-forth in time as far as a dual timeline. However the story is unraveling in a different fashion as you go back-and-forth between the two timelines. All things come together in the end and as you are reading you can’t wait for that to happen. This was a different kind of read for me but definitely an excellent book. I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review which I would happy to do. I would definitely recommend the Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvoid.

Going Higheer with God in Prayer by A.W. Tozer

Going higher with God in Prayer by A.W. Tozer, compiled and edited by James L Snyder, is an excellent book on prayer and its challenges in the Christian life. James L Snyder, was given the rights from the A.W. Tozer estate to produce new books derived from over 400 never before published audio tapes. James Snyder is an expert, and authority on the life of A.W. Tozer.

This book is filled with excellent and challenging insight on prayer. I’m assuming the original works of A.W. Tozer, have been updated for modern day culture, however the message has not been compromised from what I can understand. Tozer explores many different facets of prayer and challenges you to think in this book. Some highlights include, pondering on the verse in Ephesians that states, in everything by prayer. I also appreciated Tozer sharing that "prayer is the greatest privilege ever granted to men". Tozer writes, "our prayer is a channel through which God accomplishes His work His way."

I was given a free copy from publisher for my honest review which I was happy to do. I was challenged and encouraged by the book, Going Higher with God in Prayer by A.W. Tozer.
