Review: BREAKING POINT by KRISTEN SIMMONS
Author: KRISTEN SIMMONS
Category: Y/A - Dsytopian
Pub. Date: 02/12/2013
Publisher: Tor Teen
Format: Hardback
Pages: 400
ISBN#: 076532956x
Series: Article 5 #2
Synopsis:
The second installment in Kristen Simmons's fast-paced, gripping YA dystopian series.
After faking their deaths to escape from prison, Ember Miller and Chase Jennings have only one goal: to lay low until the Federal Bureau of Reformation forgets they ever existed.
Near-celebrities now for the increasingly sensationalized tales of their struggles with the government, Ember and Chase are recognized and taken in by the Resistance—an underground organization working to systematically take down the government. At headquarters, all eyes are on the sniper, an anonymous assassin taking out FBR soldiers one by one. Rumors are flying about the sniper’s true identity, and Ember and Chase welcome the diversion….
Until the government posts its most-wanted list, and their number one suspect is Ember herself.
Orders are shoot to kill, and soldiers are cleared to fire on suspicion alone. Suddenly Ember can’t even step onto the street without fear of being recognized, and “laying low” is a joke. Even members of the Resistance are starting to look at her sideways.
With Chase urging her to run, Ember must decide: Go into hiding…or fight back?
Review: ARTICLE 5 by KRISTEN SIMMONS
Sunday, September 21, 2014
Author: KRISTEN SIMMONS
Category: Y/A, Dystopia
Pub. Date: 01/31/2012
Publisher: Tor Teen
Format: Hardback
Pages: 362
ISBN#: 0765329581
Series: Article 5 #1
Synopsis:
New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have been abandoned.
The Bill of Rights has been revoked, and replaced with the Moral Statutes.
There are no more police—instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior—instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. People who get arrested usually don't come back.
Seventeen-year-old Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren't always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it's hard for her to forget that people weren't always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. It's hard to forget that life in the United States used to be different.
Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, like food stamps and hand-me-down clothes, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow.
That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings—the only boy Ember has ever loved.

Cover Reveal: Aging Gracefully by Dr. Sharon V. King
Friday, September 19, 2014
It is Cover Reveal day here on Breath of Life.
We have here today a Cover Reveal for Aging Gracefully
with the 23rd Psalm by Dr. Sharon V. King
Aging
Gracefully with the 23rd Psalm
by
Dr. Sharon V. King
Inspirations
Imprint
Blurb:
Can we talk about getting older? With another Baby
Boomer turning 60 every 7.5 seconds, the “age wave” has captured the attention
of such diverse fields as financial planning, cosmetics, medicine,
and—religion. How does aging affect our spirituality? Does it deepen our
relationship with God, or have decades of life’s roller coaster rides left us
“spiritually challenged?” Life after 50
can be particularly challenging for women because of the personal, social, and
physical changes that naturally occur as we age. A rich spiritual life can help
50+ women gain perspective about their aging process and seek God’s guidance as
they encounter the changes, challenges, and opportunities of later life.
Aging
Gracefully with the 23rd Psalm applies some of the best-loved verses in
scripture to a reflective study of ways women can grow in grace as they grow in
years. The book format provides reflections on themes of aging found in each
verse of Psalm 23, such as facing forks in the road; making fresh starts;
resolving past conflicts; coping with social, personal, and physical changes;
navigating through emotional transitions; processing loss and grief; and
end-of-life planning. Illustrations of each theme follow, using biblical
examples, vignettes from the author’s personal aging journey, a Takeaway
Message from each psalm verse, suggestions for group discussion topics, and a
journaling exercise to help the reader write a “Prayer Memo” to the Good Shepherd
of the 23rd Psalm.
