About

Hi, my name is Jemima.

First, thank you so much for taking the time to visit this website! I hope you find at least one book review here that sends you on an edifying journey through the pages of an eye-opening, encouraging, amusing and well-written but above all, God-glorifying book! 

​

Let me introduce myself. At the moment I am a young teen from sunny Western Australia. My Mum, Jane, (my parents are urban missionaries) teaches my two younger sisters and I from her wealth of knowledge most days of the week.

​
I have a passion for God first and foremost (or should I say He has a passion for me?), and then after that comes playing my violin and ukulele, writing stories that make people think, and almost everything word-related (languages especially).

I enjoy:

~ jogging 
~ foxes
~ knitting useful things
~ the wild
~ having everything neatly categorised (including people)
~ receiving hand-written letters
~ Being On Time
~ and reading godly literature!

​

Which brings me to books! Which is what this website is all about. I love to find an enthralling and worthwhile book - but unfortunately these can be few and far between. In Ephesian 5:16, we are told to redeem the time because the days are evil. So many books these days are about doing the exact opposite: reading them can be just an (often poorly written) opportunity to waste time that could be spent sharing the Good News with people desperately in need. These books aren't edifying or encouraging - and they have no lasting value. 

​

So I thought I could create a website that would encourage Christians (and children in particular) to enjoy getting lost in the wonderful world of worthwhile literature. Because there 
are marvelous books out there! And they will make you think deeply, encourage you to serve others, and most importantly help you to know our breathtakingly wonderful Maker.

​

So, please, dive in and enjoy!
