Compassionate Jesus: A Book Review

Being a nursing student, I am fascinated by medical science, which is why I have chosen to review Compassionate Jesus, by Christopher Bogosh, for Cross Focused Reviews. The book is very interesting. Anyone who loves science, wants to learn about the history of healthcare, or is interested in reading about the controversy of medical science versus supernatural healing, this is the book for you. Bogosh shares healthcare history, scripture, and  personal experiences about his career as a nurse and the death of his sister, making this book not only informative, but personal. Bogosh addresses how we too easily get caught up in trying to prolong our life by using extreme measures instead of allowing God to receive the glory in our weakness. Too often we seek medical attention first and save Jesus for the last resort. This book will inform you and give you clarity. This is a book every Christian needs to read.

A Book Review of The Button Legacy

The Button Legacy, written by Ginger Marcinkowski, is a short fiction novel about how a mysterious box of buttons plays a significant role in a family, teaching them about the most important things in life; faith, family, and love. The story takes place in Plaster Rock, New Brunswick in 1956 where the button box is first introduced. The box, which contains hundreds of buttons that each tell a story, is an old family relic passed down from generation to generation. Throughout the novel, each owner of the button box learns about the importance of family and the depth of God's grace and forgiveness. You will laugh and you will cry as you read and share in the stories of the buttons. Perhaps you will start your own button box.
