Nov. 13, 2008 - Media Angels
I had the pleasure of reviewing the website and a book from Media Angels and if you know me then I will read whatever I can get my hands on, within reason of course. You're not going to find me reading Stephen King anytime soon. Anyway I had the pleasure of reading a book written by a homeschool student and her mother, Christine and Felice Gerwitz. I had to admit, what 12 year old (when she wrote the book) homeschool student could actually write a book? Yes, yes, we are homeschoolers but I still doubt my daugher's and i ability to write a book, let alone a series. Yes, The Missing Link is a series! I was so happy to see that it was a quick read but it was also well written. Normally it wasn't something I would read being it's a young adult/child book but since my oldest wasn't interested in it (until I told her it was REALLY good) I read it and am glad I did. This book really showed how a child like faith can expand and reach others in the world, although not all the 'bad' guys realize they have done wrong some do and it's so nice to see that some do realize they need Christ in their life. I will warn there is some violence although a lot less than you would see in a normal TV newscast or even in a movie. Overall the book was a good read and was Christ centered, the family in the book was always concerned about how something would look like to Christ wether it was their attitude or the discovery of the Missing Link.
The other nice thing about Media Angels is their website. When you enter the homepage of the site, it is a peaceful entering with a sky like background - to me, a blue sky is so peaceful. There isn't a lot of clutter making it hard to manuever and find your way around. You can access and sign up for their Online Classes. You can find more out about the Bumper Sticker for God Contest in which they are trying to have children help in refuting the claim by some that there is no God. You can also access their store where you can The Missing Link book and more including curriculum for your homeschool.
