Book Review of Frame 232

  by Wil Mara
"A Jason Hammond Novel"

REVIEW BY: L. Bankhead

      Do the words "Babushka Lady, grassy knoll, and Dealey Plaza" mean anything to you?  They should since they are all part of this nations history and are memories of President Kennedy's infamous assassination.  Speculation has gone on for 50 years on who the Babushka Lady is in Adam Zupruder's famous footage.  Wil Mara cleverly tells a tale putting together (fictionally, of course) the missing pieces of this ongoing public mystery.  This is the first installment of the Jason Hammond series, the next being a tale of cryptic documents from Howard Hughes.  Mara has been writing for almost three decades, and this latest work shows his prowess with a pen. 
  
    This book is very excellent.  I was completely captured from the prologue to the last word.  The chapters are short, which makes it perfect bedtime reading.  So many theories on the Babushka Lady and multiple gunman have been swirling around the better half of a century.  Wil Mara's fictional version is outstanding.  He's obviously done his homework on the assassination and events surrounding it.  His words paint brilliant pictures in your mind, as if you were there.  I'm waiting eagerly for the next installment featuring Jason Hammond, a genius with a dark past.  This book is highly recommended for mature teens and up.  There are graphic depictions of the murder, and also a pretty tough kidnapping and minor reference to rape.  Guns, hit men, deceptive government officials and the like are all part and parcel.

His Treasure Book Review

Book Review of His Treasure

  by Sheri Rose Shepherd
"Gems of Love From Your King"

REVIEW BY: L. Bankhead

   Renown author of the His Princess series, Sheri Rose Shepherd, added a great little treasure to her stack of books this year.  When I say little,  I do mean it is actually small.  It's only around 6"x4" and can easily be toted around in your car, purse, etc.  This book is not a devotional, but close.  There are pages and pages of letters to the reader from "God" penned by Shepherd, yet all Scriptural.  Each letter also has an adjacent Scripture.  Each letter is labeled according to what the treasure is on that page - example: "My Treasure, His Masterpiece"..."My Treasure, His Light".  Not only are the words that are written a healthy dose of encouragement and nurturing, but the pages are stunning.    It's like wallpaper for every woman.  This book would be a perfect gift for any woman in your life - baby or mature Christian's alike.  Each gem will uplift you and bring you closer to understanding who you are in Christ.  I personally feel that $15 for this book is on the expensive side, but it's still worth the purchase for yourself or another lovely lady in your life.  Women 16 and up would treasure this little gem.
