DEAD CITY, Book One of the ZOMBIE D.O.A Series by JJ ZEP 5*****

Written by: Beth Almeida


Who doesn’t love a great zombie book??? JJ Zep has written an awesome zombie series, Zombie D.O.A. There are four series of four books each with a fifth in the works. There is enough reading there to keep you ‘zombie-fied’ for a good long while. On a depressing note, the fifth series will be the last.
Book one of series one, Dead City, introduces us to Chris Collins who is about to lose every single thing he holds dear in his life. He is thrown into the middle of a zombie apocalypse with his new born daughter…only she is very special. Along the way, Chris meets some interesting people, one extremely likable pooch, and more than his fair share of people who have gone completely insane!
JJ Zep is sure to become one of your favorite zombie apocalypse writers because he has definitely made it to the top of my ‘Fave Horror Authors’ list. From the first chapter, I was amazed by the way the story was written. I could put myself right into Chris’s place and experience the emotions as he felt them. When all hell broke loose and Chris was puzzled and confused, I was puzzled and confused right along with him. When he was scared half to death (and I promise there were plenty of those moments!) so was I. I actually squealed out loud in the middle of the night at one point…my husband said I was no longer allowed to read Mr. Zep’s books at bedtime.
I can’t make this review much longer because I don’t want to include any spoilers, just rest assured that if you are looking for a new zombie adventure, THIS series is the one you should pick up right now! Mr. Zep has a page on Amazon here. I can tell by his writing style, that it would be a blast to know him personally!  He also has a Facebook fan page here. You can find the Zombie D.O.A books on Goodreads here. You can find Dead City on amazon.com here for .99 cents!!!
Happy reading!

Does Prayer Scare or Frustrate YOU?

Written by:
Prayer...I don't know about you, but this has always been difficult for me. I try and try to get it "right" but always end up frustrated and give up. If I'm not really careful, a week (or two) can go by and I haven't spoken to my Savior at all! When I pray, I feel like my words make it as far as the ceiling and then bounce right back at me! Is it like that for you? Does it just make you want to yell in frustration or just forego prayer altogether? Believe me, I completely understand! Guess what? I have found help for us. Carol Round is an absolutely precious woman who knows how very important the practice of prayer is. Prayer is our conversation with our Lord and Savior and prayer is how we develop a close relationship with Him. Jesus doesn't want to just be our Savior, He wants to be our friend. He wants to be closer to us than a brother {or sister}. In the Preface to her book, Journaling with Jesus, How to Draw Closer to God, Mrs. Round has this to say; ...

You Are MY Child, At Your Best and Your Worst.

So, it's 1:45 a.m. & I'm sitting in the living room with my soon to be 2 yo son, Mason.  Mason has NEVER slept all night since the day he was born...not ONCE. I've Googled, read, researched, spoken with his pediatrician and other pediatricians, tried essential oils, warm baths with calming bath soap and adjusted his schedule so many times that I can't even remember. This past Friday I had a minor surgical procedure done but was told I couldn't lift anything heavy for 10 days (as the discharge nurse eyed my 30-pound baby boy). Can I just get some back up from other moms out there; if your baby falls or gets sick, you are NOT going to say “Well, I can't pick you up, just dust it off and go on about your day”, are you? I didn't think so. The meds they gave me after surgery turned me into monster mommy/wife. I snapped off the head of every poor innocent that happened to look me directly in the eye all day Saturday and Sunday. Plus, those same meds...

Who Eats at Your Table?

Written by: Beth Almeida
'Then he turned to his host. "When you put on a luncheon or a banquet," he said, "don't invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you."'~Luke 14:12-14 After I read this, I thought about all the dinners I have been invited to with people who were much more 'well to do' than myself. I was so uncomfortable and most of the people who were there seemed so unhappy. Talking bad about the person next to them and the looks of bitterness on their faces just astounded me! They never had to worry about paying the electric bill or keeping the grocery bill down to $100.00 or less. They drove fine cars and lived in fine houses. They wore nice clothes and seemed to have every material pleasure a person could ob...
