Book review: "Washington-A Legacy Of Leadership"

I've really taken an interest in our country's history and wanting to know anything I can about our founding fathers' leadership roles. So, I couldn't wait to download the ebook for "Washington"!

“The Father of Our Country,” George Washington has been called, “first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen.” He is remembered for his character, perseverance, and faith and is a shining example for future leaders.

He lived a life of hard work and he learned from failure. His entire life was preparing him for the role as our nation's president. At twenty one, he began his military career and this book for the majority of it is based upon his role in leadership.

This book has 17 chapters and I really enjoyed reading this and learning more about Washington than I ever knew before. It contains some rich history that I know I'll be turning back to read again and again. I love this quote: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports." Washington

Review & Giveway: GMovies

I was really excited for the opportunity to review a site through FlyBy Promotions called:  'gMovies'  for 6 months for FREE! It's like Netflix however, it's faith oriented and inspirational. You can stream these movies on your desktop, ipad, or mobile device. gMovies is operated by   UP . It's a family friendly television network that is honorable and that's hard to come by these days. I personally love the Dramas, Bible movies, and Animations. For just $4.99 a month, you can pick from almost 300 movies with many different genres!  I watched 'The Torchlighters: Heroes of the Faith: The Perpetua Story.' The next movie that I want to watch is Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace. I enjoy World War II movies as well and people taking a stand for Christ and dying for their faith. This is one movie that I've been wanting to see for some time now and now, I can!  I was given a Reader code for my subscribers for 2 FREE wks!! Woohooo!  Sign u...
