Elise's report/First post

Hi everyone! This is my very first post, and I have to admit... Blogging is SO fun! :)

So this a report I wrote about a book called "With Daring Faith", that Mama wanted me to post, so here it is!

It's a really good book!



With Daring Faith

Amy Carmichael was a normal girl in the late 1800's. She never new that when she was older that she would lead hundreds of Indian children, and adults to Jesus Christ!

When she was in her late twenties Amy Carmichael became a missionary to India and many people were saved because she was not afraid to share her faith! As time went on she basically adopted a little Indian girl named Arulai. I loved her story! This little girl new that the god she worshiped (Baal) was not the All Powerful God, but she did not know who the All Powerful God was. So, when she saw Amy she said "I want to be with her!" and God granted her wish! She got to stay with Amy! From that point on Amy and her missionary friends took in any child that wanted to learn about God. And the result was that they started a ministry call "The Dohnavor ministry". By the time she was fifty they ended up with over one-hundred children.

Amy was eighty-three when she died in 1951, and left The Dohnavor ministry in the hands of God and her close missionary friends.

I would highly recommend this book to pretty much anyone!

My report on Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne

Professor Otto Lidenbrock was a mineralogist.
One day he was studying an old book by Arne Saknussemm and found in the book an old artifact that was very hard to decode. (The picture of the artifact is on the bottom of my report.)
Now this artifact had stumped the Professor.
He worked on it for hours not letting anyone in his household eat! Now, his nephew, Axel was an orphan and has been living with his Uncle for years.
Axel was studying the old artifact while his Uncle was out and Axel began to feel faint so he began to fan himself with the artifact. Then he saw it!!! The answer to all their work. He dared not tell his Uncle, for he new what would happen. He was scared, so he was about to throw the artifact into the fireplace. Then, the Professor stormed in quite upset that he still could not solve it! His Uncle studied the old artifact for hours more and Axel could not refrain any longer. “All right I have got it.” Axel said, giving in to his hunger pains. Arne Saknussemm has journeyed to the centre of the earth and….
And you have to read the book yourself!!

That Axel was such a crybaby!
I did not really relate with the charters.
