										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>We have been fans of For King + Country for many years. My sons toured with them in June of 2013, as part of Summer Cruise 8 with The Joy FM in Florida and Georgia. We go way back. I knew we were going to se UNSUNG HERO when the movie was announced. We were excited when Kingdom Faith Marketing Services, LLC asked us to review the movie. We are thankful to them for providing a sample of the<br />product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="634" height="360" src="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/title.jpg" alt="Moms, celebrate your priceless role in your family by going to
see the powerful film, Unsung Hero, in theaters starting April
26th!" class="wp-image-59385" srcset="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/title.jpg 634w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/title-400x227.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px" /></figure>



<p>Since we have been longtime fans, we were familiar with the big picture of the Smallbone&#8217;s story. In UNSUNG HERO, we learned a lot more about the struggles this family faced, why they left Australia, how hard life in America was when they arrived in Nashville, and how they persevered and clung to God through it all.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About UNSUNG HERO</h2>



<p>When David Smallbone&#8217;s successful music company collapses, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY&#8217;s Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Based on a remarkable true story, a mum&#8217;s faith stands against all odds; and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs.</p>

<p> </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mom Maven&#8217;s Thoughts</h2>



<p>We both enjoyed the movie very much. It feels honest. You get invested in the well-developed characters. The story of a tightknit family going through hard times yet staying together while relying on God and the church community that surrounds them is an important message in this day of disposable marriages.</p>



<p>I have seen every movie that Joel Smallbone has been in and this is his best acting ever. It&#8217;s got to be hard to play your own father. When you take on a character, you learn things about that person, real or fictional. As an actor it can be very difficult to play some you know so well because you might learn things about them you later wished you&#8217;d never known.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="667" height="1000" src="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pin-1-Poster-667x1000.jpg" alt="When David Smallbone's successful music company collapses, he moves his

<p>This movie is not about For King + Country the band, it is the story of the Smallbone family and the beginnings of their sister, Rebecca St James&#8217; award-winning music career.</p>



<p>The movie is rated PG and I don&#8217;t think kids under the age of 12 would be very interested but you mom and dad should <strong><a href="https://tickets.unsunghero.movie/">get your tickets </a></strong>now! The movie hits theaters April 26!!! </p>

<p>Last week Ron and I had the pleasure of watching <em>God&#8217;s Country Song</em> which debuts on Pure Flix on June 16th. Watching movies early is a perk of being a Pure Flix Ambassador. I thank them for providing me with a sample of the movie for the purpose of my honest review. As always, opinions are 100% my own.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="634" height="360" src="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/title-1.jpg" alt="God's Country Song" class="wp-image-59290" srcset="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/title-1.jpg 634w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/title-1-400x227.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px" /></figure></div>


<p>I want to start off with a word of caution, unlike most Pure Flix films, I don&#8217;t feel <em>God&#8217;s Country Song</em> is appropriate for kids under the age of 13. There is significant alcohol use/abuse, and some violence. Use your own discretion.</p>



<p>With that being said, God&#8217;s Country Song is a redemption story based on Mark 8:36 <strong>“</strong>What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Noah is a broken man pursuing his dreams at all costs. On a journey of redemption and forgiveness, he rediscovers what truly matters in life: faith and family.</p>

<li>Justin Gaston as <em>Noah Bryan </em>(<em>The Young and the Restless</em>, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, SANTA BOOTCAMP)</li>

<li>John Laughlin as <em>Jeremiah Bryan </em>(THE ROCK, FOOTLOOSE, <em>NCIS</em>)</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mom Maven&#8217;s Thoughts</h2>



<p>This is a very well done movie. While not what I consider to be typical Pure Flix fare, we really enjoyed it. Yes, the subject matter is difficult, a but gritty but it&#8217;s an honest look at a life that tries to hide it&#8217;s hurts with alcohol. Justin Gaston&#8217;s portrayal of Noah Bryan is spot on. He is a singer/songwriter as well as an actor so all the scenes performing his music on stage were authentic and it showed. </p>



<p>This film is about faith, fatherhood, and forgiveness. Noah has always resented his father for not supporting his dreams of fame and fortune. Always feeling that you don&#8217;t have the love and support of your family as you chase your dreams is a heavy weight to carry. Of course, there are always two sides to every story and as Noah learns why his father feels this way, thanks to mom sharing dad&#8217;s big secret, Noah begins to understand his father&#8217;s side.</p>



<p>I hope you&#8217;ll watch <em>God&#8217;s Country Song</em> when it starts streaming on <strong><a href="https://www.pureflix.com/movie/gods-country-song" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Pure Flix </a></strong>starting June 16th.</p>

<p>As parents one of our most important jobs is to raise our children to love and serve God. Proverbs 22:6 says &#8220;Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.&#8221; NIV. One important way to do this is to teach them God&#8217;s Word, the Bible. They need to develop their own love for the Word. To do this they need to experience your passion for reading the Bible and they need to have a Bible that they love to read. <em>The CSB Explorer Bible</em> for Kids may just be that Bible.</p>

<p>Who am I to tell you what your kids need as far as a Bible goes? I have served in Kid&#8217;s Ministry for 42 years and counting, I have a degree in education, completed Bible college, and homeschooled my kids birth through high school-just to name a few accomplishments. Kids need to read the Bible for themselves, once they learn how to read. One of the biggest things parents can do to further the spiritual growth in their children is to read the Bible to them and with them. The church can only do so much. The average kid is at church 2-4 hours a month! They are home with you a lot longer, what are<strong> you</strong> doing for the spiritual upbringing of <strong>your</strong> kids?</p>

<p>The reason behind creating another kids&#8217; Bible is not only to increase Bible literacy, which is sorely lacking in todays families, but to lead kids to know, love, and live the Word of God in their lives. The amazing features in the <em>CSB Explorer Bible for Kids</em> will help young readers, ages 6-12, dig in and investigate both the world and words of Scripture, to see the history of real people inside real cultures and the events that surrounded them, to know how all of the books of the Bible fit together-all for the purpose of helping kids experience life change by hiding God&#8217;s living and effective word within their hearts.</p>

<p>Many thanks to Pure Flix for providing a membership for this review. Opinions about<em> Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters</em> are 100% my own.</p>



<p>The other night Ron and I watched <em>Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters</em> on Pure Flix. The movie was very well written and well acted with a great cast that includes two husband-wife duos playing married couples! Bart Johnson (High School Musical) and Robin Lively (Teen Witch) along with David Barrera (NYPD: Blue) and Maria Canals-Barrera (Wizards of Waverly Place) play the two sets of parents in the movie. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters</h2>



<p>When a wealthy businessman learns his daughter is engaged to a missionary, he embarks on a quest to keep her closer to home. But when his efforts go awry, he must learn to give up control and trust God with her future.</p>

<p>Parents, this movie is for you! If you have daughters, we don&#8217;t, this movie is even more for you! It&#8217;s for all parents, but as my husband said, &#8220;I never had to give away a daughter, I never thought about how hard that would be.&#8221; As parents of sons, we are thankful they are strong, hard-working men of God and their future in-laws readily accepted them into their families, even though they both married young.</p>

<p>Many thanks to Pure Flix for providing a sample of the Live+Local for this review. Opinions are<br />100% my own.</p>



<p>I was so excited when I heard Affirm was making a streaming series about a morning show on a Christian radio station. You see, I worked on air at what was then a local Christian radio station from 1991-1995. I still work seasonally off air in phone central for all of the fundraising drives for the stations in our network. My oldest son has worked at Radio Training Network/The Joy FM for several years as IT Director and Project Manager so Christian radio is a passion in our family. Actually, I was saved through the ministry of The Joy FM, you can read about that <strong><a href="https://themommaven.com/2016/08/support-christian-radio/">here</a></strong>. </p>

<p>I was even more excited to find out that Dave Coulier, Joey from <em>Full House</em> and <em>Fuller House</em>, was playing one of the on air talents! The other major roles are played by Emily Pendergast, Pat Cashman and Kendra Ann Sherill.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Live+Local</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Mom Maven&#8217;s Thoughts</h2>



<p>While Live+Local is not like any morning show I&#8217;ve ever heard, it make a fun TV show. Dave Coulier is great, he plays a great curmudgeon. We all experience change and transitions in our lives and that is what the cast is dealing with in episode 1. Tommy is set in his ways and has a &#8220;if it&#8217;s not broke, why fix it&#8217; attitude and isn&#8217;t interested in any input from the new Programing  Director. Tina wants to grow and improve as a host and not always play second fiddle to Tommy. Lucy has just been promoted to producer, which is intimidating and she is trying to find her place on the team. Jerry is the new guy, the Programing Director, the boss who wants to shake things up a bit.</p>



<p>I think it will be fun to go on this journey with these characters and see how they change and grow as the show continues. Episodes 1 and 2 are now available with additional episodes releasing weekly.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Finding Love in Mountain View</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MomMaven&#8217;s Thoughts</h2>



<p>My husband and I watched FINDING LOVE IN MOUNTAIN VIEW the other night (we always watch Hallmark movies together, I&#8217;m that blessed). Overall we enjoyed the movie. Yes, it&#8217;s a Hallmark movie so it has beautiful scenery, a rather predictable script, and a happy ending. That&#8217;s why we watch Hallmark movies, right?</p>



<p>The main cast of Danielle C. Ryan as Margaret, Myko Olivier as Andrew, Skyler Elyse Philpot as Sammie, and Luke Loveless as Joel all do a great job of making their characters believable. They draw you in, especially the children.</p>



<p>Unfortunately, the opening scene really concerned us. The acting was so bad we were afraid we were in for a long night. The actress playing Margaret&#8217;s assistant was not good at all. Thankfully she was only in a few scenes. I promise if you stick it out a few minutes, the rest of the movie is well done. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Have you ever needed a last minute gift for a friend or colleague? It can be a hassle to go to the store and hope they have the gift card you want to give as a gift. Thanks to CardNow, running to the store for a last minute gift is a thing of the past.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="675" height="433" src="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/FoodieHeroImage_1080x.jpg" alt="CardNow is a convenient way to keep gift cards on hand for when you need them without spending lots of money up front." class="wp-image-57593"/></figure></div>



<p>With CardNow you receive a box of 25 inactive gift cards, ready to be activated from home at your convenience. It is the perfect solution for busy moms (or grandparents!) and even small business owners. When those last-minute gifting occasions like birthday parties come up, or you need to have a contest or giveaway for your business, or even reward employees, be ready with a gift card you can activate &amp; load from the convenience of your mobile phone! You can learn more at their <strong><a href="https://bit.ly/33RJb2m" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">website</a></strong>.</p>



<p>This is a brilliant idea! It will make birthday and holiday gift giving so much easier. I&#8217;ll also be using it for incentives with my business teammates. I&#8217;ve also shared this info with our Children&#8217;s Pastor because we give out gift cards all the time at trainings and rallies and having them on hand would make her busy life so much easier.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="735" height="1102" src="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Pin-A.jpg" alt="CardNow is a convenient way to keep gift cards on hand for when you need them without spending lots of money up front." class="wp-image-57594"/></figure></div>



<p>Each Starter Box includes a reusable box to store your cards in, 25 merchant gift cards from up to 5 different merchants and 25 gift card sleeves. The Starter Box costs $12.99. You get to choose from several merchants so your cards will be for restaurants, services, and stores you know your gift recipients will love.</p>



<p>When you’re ready to give or use a gift card, it takes less than a minute to activate a card with the mobile app. Simply scan the card, choose the gift card value, and pay. No buying cards in advance, just add value to a card when you are ready to give the gift. When you need more gift cards you just go on the app or website and order more&#8230;for free! <strong><a href="https://bit.ly/33RJb2m" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Order yours today</a></strong>!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>I have served in some form of ministry to children or youth for most of the  last 39 years! I have taught Sunday School, led Children&#8217;s Church, served as a Youth Leader, Kid&#8217;s Choir Director, Youth Choir Director, Missionettes Leader, Mpact Girls Clubs Director, VBS Director etc. You get the picture, my passion is introducing kids to their creator, God, teaching them why they need a Savior, Jesus, and how to connect to their ever-present helper, The Holy Spirit. In 2020 we call this KidMin or Kid&#8217;s Ministries for birth-elementary school and Youth or Student Ministries for Middle and High School kids.</p>



<p>At my church I currently serve as Wednesday night clubs director overseeing Mpact Girls Clubs and Royal Rangers (birth-5th grade), where I also teach the Stars class (3rd-5th grade girls). I am the VBS director, the KidMin Curriculum Specialist and the KidMin Administrative Assistant. I tell you all this so that you know I live KidMin. When I was asked to review RESILIENT, a new book about the future of KidMin, I jumped at the chance.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="496" height="740" src="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Resilient-Cover-.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-56901" srcset="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Resilient-Cover-.jpg 496w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Resilient-Cover--268x400.jpg 268w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Resilient-Cover--185x276.jpg 185w" sizes="(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px" /></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Resilient Child Discipleship and the Fearless Future of the Church</h2>



<p> People are saying the future of the church looks bleak. Voices are crying out that the church is dying. Every week church buildings shut their doors for the last time. It leads to the question, “How can we impact the future of the church?” </p>



<p> Thankfully, in the midst of all the talk, there’s a new conversation that’s emerging. Here it is: Child discipleship works! </p>



<p>The most powerful way to shape the future of the church is to effectively disciple kids who will thrive in a culture that aggressively runs counter to their faith in Christ. But in this season, we must ask new questions. As the world around us is rapidly changing, are the methodologies and assumptions from past decades still working? Is today’s KidMin built to produce disciples who will lead the church with courage and compassion in a culture that is becoming increasingly hostile to the gospel? In order to thrive in this unknown future, our kids will need to be&nbsp;Resilient! </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="675" height="506" src="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/675.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-56902" srcset="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/675.jpg 675w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/675-400x300.jpg 400w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/675-185x139.jpg 185w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/675-500x375.jpg 500w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/675-560x420.jpg 560w" sizes="(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px" /></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> What is&nbsp;Resilient? </h3>



<p>RESILIENT&nbsp;is an honest calling to ask robust questions about the future, it is a timely conversation in the midst of changing cultural landscapes, and it’s a love letter to the church to walk this road of child discipleship together. </p>



<p>Something special begins to happen when KidMin leaders and disciple-makers look beyond the tactics of everyday ministry and begin to focus their energy on the few, key factors that truly contribute to effective, long-term discipleship impact.&nbsp;Resilient&nbsp;child discipleship focuses on three key areas, essential for shaping long-term faith: </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mom Maven&#8217;s Thoughts</h2>



<p>As KidMin leaders we know we are not a child&#8217;s number one source of spiritual leadership-that comes from the parents who spend much more time with their children than we do. We KidMin leaders get to spend and average of 2 hours a month with the kids we minister to. I hate to think about the kids who have no positive spiritual leadership in their homes.  Our time with the kids who come to our churches is so limited we need to make sure that we are using our time wisely. RESILIENT helps us focus on what&#8217;s most important.</p>



<p>I feel at our church we are pretty much already aligned with the Belong-Believe-Become philosophy of RESILIENT with our Reach-Learn-Connect philosophy. Different words meaning about the same things. Kids need to know they are loved and cared for by adults at church. They need to learn the Word of God and know that it is inerrant. Lastly they need to out their faith into action by living a God-honoring life.</p>



<p>If you are a parent or a KidMin or Student Ministries leader, I highly recommend you read RESILIENT. It will help you make sure your ministry priorities are in order so that you can reach your kids for Christ.</p>

<p>You know my reviews are always honest and there is one negative to this book. There are some glaring grammatical and punctuation errors that were not caught during the editing process. There were a few times I wanted to put the book down and give up on it. I know we all make mistakes, I&#8217;ve made my share on this blog. I just feel a real book, which you assume would be professionally edited before going to print, should not have multiple errors.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Have you ever heard of <em>The 5 Love Languages</em>? It&#8217;s a book written by Gary Chapman that has sold over  million copies and has transformed countless relationships. I had heard about it long before I read it. I first read it as part of one of my pastoral studies classes.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="638" src="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5LL_Type-Block_Outlines_Purple-700x638.png" alt="" class="wp-image-55702" srcset="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5LL_Type-Block_Outlines_Purple-700x638.png 700w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5LL_Type-Block_Outlines_Purple-400x365.png 400w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5LL_Type-Block_Outlines_Purple-768x700.png 768w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5LL_Type-Block_Outlines_Purple-185x169.png 185w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5LL_Type-Block_Outlines_Purple-560x511.png 560w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/5LL_Type-Block_Outlines_Purple.png 1381w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>



<p>The premise of <em>The 5 Love Languages</em> is that there are 5 basic ways we feel loved. Physical Touch, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Words of Affirmation, and Quality Time. We all have a primary love language and many of us have a strong secondary love language, or way we feel loved.</p>



<p>Naturally we usually give love the way we like to receive it. Unfortunately, the person we are giving love to, our spouse, child, friend etc. probably speaks a different love language so they don&#8217;t receive love the way we easily give it. Oh no! What can we do to learn to speak their language? We can read the books and/or we can download the <strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" aria-label="Love Nudge App (opens in a new tab)" href="https://5lovelanguages.com/lovenudge" target="_blank">Love Nudge App</a></strong> to help us. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="292" src="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/xcR94LrV-700x292.jpeg" alt="On the Love Nudge App you can take the 5 Love Languages Assessment and reveal your love language. You can also send the app to your spouse and have them take the assessment. " class="wp-image-55703" srcset="https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/xcR94LrV-700x292.jpeg 700w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/xcR94LrV-400x167.jpeg 400w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/xcR94LrV-768x320.jpeg 768w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/xcR94LrV-185x77.jpeg 185w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/xcR94LrV-560x233.jpeg 560w, https://themommaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/xcR94LrV.jpeg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>



<p>On the Love Nudge App you can take the 5 Love Languages Assessment and reveal your love language. You can also send the app to your spouse and have them take the assessment. Then the real journey begins as you learn to speak each other&#8217;s love language. The app, just like those <strong><a href="https://hookupsites.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">favorite hookup sites</a></strong>, lets you send nudges to your spouse to suggest things they can do to help you feel more loved. </p>

<p>Take Ron and I for example; my primary love language is Words Of Affirmation and my secondary is Physical Touch. Ron&#8217;s primary is Acts of Service and secondary is Quality Time. Ron has a 0% need for Physical Touch&#8230;can you see how that is a problem? We realized when we downloaded the Love Nudge App and took our assessments that my need for physical touch had been mostly been met by our son, Jordan, whose primary love language is physical touch. He is a hugger and toucher who, got married in September and now doesn&#8217;t live in my house and isn&#8217;t around for daily hugs!</p>

<p>Ron and I have been using the Love Nudge App for a few weeks now and honestly, it started out as a bone of contention between us for the first week. Ron saw his lack of speaking my love languages as a failure as a husband and he didn&#8217;t want an app, or me, telling me he needed to change. I saw this all as a challenge and one I have failed in the last two weeks. The first week I was barely home in the evenings because I was working on a huge project at church. It is hard to do Acts of Service and/or Quality Time when you aren&#8217;t around. The second week I was so busy catching up from the first week I did get a few Acts of Service accomplished and as far as I know, they went unnoticed <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f641.png" alt="🙁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> As a Words of Affirmation girl I need to hear, &#8220;Thanks for doing&#8230;&#8221; We are very much still learning how to speak each other&#8217;s languages and we are committed to this so that our marriage will be even better!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My love of cheesecake came later in life, now, it is a favorite occasional dessert. I have also had some success in making cheesecakes, remember my Brownie Sundae Cheesecake? When I received <strong><em><a href="https://amzn.to/2SgDQsT" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Cheesecake Bible Second Edition: 300 Sweet &amp; Savory Recipes for Cakes and More</a></em></strong> I couldn&#8217;t wait to jump in and start planning to bake cheesecakes for Thanksgiving!</p>

<h2>About The Cheesecake Bible Second Edition</h2>
<blockquote><p>Cheesecake! The Golden Girls made eating cheesecake a nightly ritual on the hit television series. The pastry chef who made those luscious and delicious cheesecakes and many other foods for hit sitcoms was George Geary. He later became the first award winning pastry chef for the Walt Disney Company at Disneyland. Geary’s cheesecakes became one of his most popular culinary calling cards that he published his favorite recipes in his first cookbook, 125 Best Cheesecake Recipes in 2002, and it was such a hit that a follow up book, The Cheesecake Bible was published in 2008 and became a best-seller.</p>
<p>Now Geary has expanded his cheesecake repertoire even more with the highly anticipated The Cheesecake Bible Second Edition: 300 Sweet &amp; Savory Recipes for Cakes and More (Robert Rose Inc./October 2018; Trade Paperback/$24.95). This second edition has 90 new recipes including vegan, gluten-free and additional savory cheesecake options. George provides home cooks with extensive how-to instructions, tips and techniques to make the perfect cheesecake.</p>
<p>Recipes in the book range from holiday favorites, savory and citrus cheesecakes, no-bake cheesecakes, to bars, pies, toppings and sauces, and breakfast items.</p></blockquote>
<p>I loved the hints and tips at the front of the cookbook as well as how easy the recipes are to follow. There are even recipes for the different kinds of cookies you need for the different crusts, if you don&#8217;t want store bought cookies you can make them from scratch!<br />

<p>After a quick look through the cookbook I had a list of 12 cheesecakes that I couldn&#8217;t wait to make! I had to be reasonable though so I decided to make one for each of our two Thanksgiving celebrations. For the Foster Thanksgiving I made the Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars on page 265. They were delicious, a huge hit! Unfortunately, they cut very messy and I didn&#8217;t take any pictures of them. For Schultz Thanksgiving I made the Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Cheesecake on page 108. Wow! This cheesecake is a bite of rich, creamy, deliciousness. That is the recipe I am sharing here today.
