Book Review/ /Sengali, Christis Pinson



"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
Summary (from Goodreads): For years Sengali has lived alone on his lush jungle mountain—fearless, powerful, and independent—until a hunting party of lionesses invade his territory. Wanting to irritate them, Sengali saves the life of their prey only to find the grateful creature now expects him to protect it! But what seemed to be a routine rescue mission quickly becomes much more when a strange, terrifying Dream begins to haunt both animals. Together, predator and prey set out on a quest to discover what the Dream could mean—for them and for their world—and to unravel its mystery before time runs out.


An unforgettable adventure of unlikely friendships, savage conflict, and tenacious faith, Sengali: A Cat’s Tale is a thrilling race for survival that grabs you by the throat and never lets go!

Thoughts: I've known the author of this book for more than half of my life. She is a great inspiration and role model. Her God-given talents are bountiful and so is her passion for serving others. You can tell in the characters in this book that she is driven to give God complete glory. 
So getting back to the story, I'll let you know that I couldn't pick a favorite character. Loving just one is not possible. You get easily attached to everyone! The story was captivating and fast-paced based on a very well-known story. Yet it will never become dull with each retelling, because of the undying Truth throughout it. I won't say much more because I fear I will give away the plot. But trust me when I tell you that it is definitely worth the read to find out!

Genre: Christian, Historical fiction, & Adventure

Appropriate Synopsis: This book is geared towards the juvenile generation (ages 8 to 17), but the deep Christian messages within the story are relevant to all ages. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!

Motivational Inspiration/ /Living Temple

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." ( 1 Corinthians 10:31 ) This was ( and still is ) my mantra for a healthy lifestyle. If you've tried the New's Year Resolution of a healthy diet and failed at it miserably, you're not the only one. Everyone tries to shun the guilt of indulging ourselves over the holidays. Trying every diet out there, going as far as half-starving yourself for that perfect image that society tells you is necessary. Forget it. It's not worth it. Who's body is it anyway? It's not the world's. And it most definitely isn't your own. We were born with a living temple. God breathed life into you for His purpose. Not ours, but His. Life is a precious thing, and we take it for granted too often. Our bodies deserve to be treated as living sacrifices for God because in the Bible that's exactly what His will is for them. "I beseech you therefore, brethren

Motivational Inspiration + Book Review/ /Finding Worth

I partnered up with Livy, from Crown of Beauty magazine to write a post focusing on Finding Worth. To all the girls out there who are searching to find themselves. To all the ones who are wanting to feel loved or worth something in this world. To all the daughters of the Heavenly King, this is for you.  'Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.' ( Titus 3:5-7 ) If you are a born-again believer in Christ, then you are one of His children. Which makes you a daughter of the King of Kings, Lord of Lords. You are His heir. 'Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised .' ( Proverbs 31:30 ) &

Motivational Inspiration/ /Cast Your Care

Yesterday was one of those days when you go into the bathroom to find a quiet place to internally scream. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this. Everything started out perfectly at dawn. Had all my ducks in a row and every bow was perfectly timed. Then bad news came and with it a multitude of mistakes and mishaps that made the workday seem to stretch. Never before in my days of working was there a day with so many errors in it. I felt like a palm tree in the midst of a hurricane, getting tossed and flipped by the oncoming storm. At one point the day met its climax and a sudden thought blew past my mind; I know the Master of the storm. What do I have to fear? I know the Master of the storm. The disciples were placed into a similar circumstance in Mark, however, their storm was literal rain and wind. Jesus was teaching parables on a boat to the many eager listeners that filled the beach. Once he was finished, he told the disciples to cross the sea o
