Synopsis:
From GoodReads

Purple. The foundation of an influential trade in a Roman world dominated by men. One woman rises up to take the reins of success in an incredible journey of courage, grit, and friendship. And along the way, she changes the world.

But before she was Lydia, the seller of purple, she was simply a merchant's daughter who loved three things: her father, her ancestral home, and making dye. Then unbearable betrayal robs her of nearly everything.

With only her father's secret formulas left, Lydia flees to Philippi and struggles to establish her business on her own. Determination and serendipitous acquaintances--along with her father's precious dye--help her become one of the city's preeminent merchants. But fear lingers in every shadow, until Lydia meets the apostle Paul and hears his message of hope, becoming his first European convert. Still, Lydia can't outrun her secrets forever, and when past and present collide, she must either stand firm and trust in her fledgling faith or succumb to the fear that has ruled her life.

Why I'm Waiting:
I have loved the previous books by Tessa Afshar. Her writing is so poetic. She is able to write a realistic story that draws you in and hold on to you till the end. Her details for the story shine through out and I can not wait to see how this story of Lydia unfolds.

What are you waiting on this week?

Review:
This is a sweet little board book for Grandma's and little ones to share. It highlights all the fun and sweet things Grandma's can do for their Grandchildren. The fun ideas for playing and baking. Plus, also how it's ok for Grandma's can spoil their grandbabies a little, because they are Grandma.

This is a good board book for littles and should be very durable and last a while. It would be a cute gift for a first time Grandma, or even for a Grandparent's Day present.

Title: Heaven Bound

Release Date: March 28th, 2017
Run Time: Approx 88 Min

Synopsis:

A financially desperate couple and the wife's goofy brother rob a mansion, only to be trapped by the terminally-ill Christian homeowner. He won't let them go until they decide whether or not they'll follow Jesus. Wha–? Starring Torry Martin (My Name Is Paul), Nancy Stafford (Matlock), Danny Vinson (Talladega Nights), and Michael Joiner (The Grace Card), this good-natured comedy tilts heavily toward the mad-cap side of the street, but is definitely safe for the whole family.

Review:
In the last couple of years, I've been looking into very family friendly movies through certain stations in cable and have enjoyed the sweet, clean stories. So when the ability to review this movie came up, I was thrilled to do it. I was able to sit down and watch this movie with my kiddo, which is hard to do right off the bat. I was thankful with this movie I could with out worry.

This was a very well portrayed comedy. It was clean and cute. I was wondering how they would pull of the part with the elderly man holding the robbers hostage and sharing Jesus with them. It kind of played on the method that is joked about in church, about how not to share.

If you're looking for a fun, family friendly movie, I would say give this a try.
