This is the true and compelling story of his supernatural quest through the valley of death, doubt, and darkness. Eddie provides a passionate story that will capture the attention of even the toughest skeptics.

Angels, demons, heaven, hell, Jesus and the devil: are they fiction, or are they more real than anything else in the world?

Through the Valley Love Endures Review:

Let me start by stating the cover for Through the Valley Love Endures is the best cover for this book. I couldn’t imagine anything else. God truly was his beacon of light as he was walking through the valley and ultimately saves him from crashing into the rocks. The title is the perfect fit as well. As Eddie struggles with different obstacles during his life; in the end, Love is what saves him.

As Eddie’s life unfolds, my heart broke for him as he endured countless hardships. Even in his youth and later in life, Eddie found God’s Love. Eddie’s message truly hit home for me. I have looked at my life and I am starting to change the way I think. I will start finding the Love in things and not retreat to the bitter “everything/everyone is against me” outlook.

Through the Valley Love Endures is an inspirational tale of redemption and restoration of faith. The most important message is to never forget to Love. Without Love, we are lost.

Boba Baby Carrier Review

Boba

BobaAs a mom, I have wished for a third or fourth arm.  Carrying my 8 month old son and trying to do things such as a quick run in to the store or post office with a package is a tough task.  He gets excited about something and I will have to juggle him and whatever was in my other arm.  This is when a baby carrier comes in very handy.

Babee Greens offers cloth diapers and baby products that are certified organic and they are all MADE IN THE USA.  Babee Greens is also operated and owned by the one group of people who know babies best - Mothers!

I received 2 organic cotton doublers and 2 wool diaper liners from Babee Greens to review.  When I inspected the doublers and liners, they both appeared and felt like they were execellent quality.  I then visited the Babee Greens website to read about their washing instructions.  After the prewashing, I inspected the products again.  They both had shrunk in the length, but that was expected after reading the washing instructions.
