Hope - Book Review



Hope
by Kealy Connor Lonning 

The big wide world is full of challenges and surprises. It offers both good and bad influences. The children’s ability to adapt to life’s situations depends largely on how parents prepare them early on. It’s important, therefore, to instill moral principles in them while they are young. These values help them shape the person they want to be in the future. Learn from Kealy Connor Lonning on how she imparts positive vibes and morals in the book called Hope.


Hope is more than a bedtime story! It’s a book that imparts positive vibes on young children to prepare them for the life ahead.

Kealy Connor Lonning takes storytelling to new heights. In her little book, the author injects words of kindness, compassion, and other positive vibes into the young minds. But, she does it without imposing the matter. She presents two-line verses that contain common life challenges and positive solutions on how to deal with them. She applies rhymes to make the words sound like melody to the young ears.

The Author of Hope

Apparently, Kealy Connor Lonning attempts to prepare the little children for the inevitable challenges that life may bring. It’s a great idea, indeed! Especially in these times of trouble and chaos.

As parents put their little ones to sleep with this bedtime story, they also subtly instill the values contained in Hope. The short two-line verses are beautifully crafted. And, the illustrations are delightfully arranged to capture the short attention span of the kids.

Hope is, no doubt, a good book of values. It serves as a basic foundation for well-grounded and morally sound individuals in the future. Moreover, I like the author’s explanation of the images she presents in the book. They help parents to further expound on the message of Hope.

For these reasons, I give Hope a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend this book to parents with children 2 – 8 years old. The little words contained in Hope carry much weight.

The Recovering Materialist From a Nordic Hardcore Punk to a Hindu Monk in California by Tuomas M ä kinen To this day, it’s not common to see a Hindu monk in the streets of America or anywhere else in the Western world. But, it’s not impossible - and it might no longer be an uncommon sight there in the near future.  In the past few decades, an increasing number of Westerners seeking a more peaceful spiritual life have adopted the Krishna path. And, Tuomas Mäkinen is one of those men. In his book The Recovering Materialist, Mäkinen recounts his life story of conversion from a punk artist to becoming an adherent of a strict and disciplined way of life. He was born and raised to Finnish parents who are Evangelical Lutheran Church adherents. Although he was one of those individuals who doubted the teachings of his religion. He expressed that his country’s religion has... “... nothing to do with deep spirituality and internal change but has everything to do with covert materialism and sh...

Oracle of Helinthia by M.J.Pankey The Oracle of Helinthia is the sequel to the first Helinthia novel. In this book, political tensions grip the decision-makers, sowing doubts and mistrust among them. However, one character remains steadfast and focused on his mission to lead his people and guide them out of their current predicament. The story of the Oracle of Helinthia picks up where the first installment left off. G sends a brief message to Lithaneva stating, "We found it." This message sets the stage for the overthrow of the current anax. The primary goal of the rebellion is to free the citizens from oppression and secure the island of Helinthia, named after their goddess. Most of the island's citizens are loyal to Helinthia, their protector. Mortals of various ranks from neighboring territories come together to devise their plans, but they harbor doubts and mistrust toward one another—a typical ego-driven attitude! The anax's daughter has her own ambitions as w...
