"The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin."-1 John 1:7
    
    "Cleanseth," says the text-not "shall cleanse." There are multitudes who think that as a dying hope they may look forward to pardon. Oh! how infinitely better to have cleansing now than to depend on the bare possibility of forgiveness when I come to die. Some imagine that a sense of pardon is an attainment only obtainable after many years of Christian experience. But forgiveness of sin is a present thing-a privilege for this day, a joy for this very hour. The moment a sinner trusts Jesus he is fully forgiven. The text, being written in the present tense, also indicates continuance; it was "cleanseth" yesterday, it is "cleanseth" to-day, it will be "cleanseth" tomorrow: it will be always so with you, Christian, until you cross the river; every hour you may come to this fountain, for it cleanseth still. Notice, likewise, the completeness of the cleansing, "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin"-not only from sin, but "from all sin." Reader, I cannot tell you the exceeding sweetness of this word, but I pray God the Holy Ghost to give you a taste of it. Manifold are our sins against God. Whether the bill be little or great, the same receipt can discharge one as the other. The blood of Jesus Christ is as blessed and divine a payment for the transgressions of blaspheming Peter as for the shortcomings of loving John; our iniquity is gone, all gone at once, and all gone for ever. Blessed completeness! What a sweet theme to dwell upon as one gives himself to sleep.
    
    "Sins against a holy God;
    Sins against His righteous laws;
    Sins against His love, His blood;
    Sins against His name and cause;
    Sins immense as is the sea-
    From them all He cleanseth me."

Ms Grasso inspires young readers to work on their detective skills in The Science Fair Sabotage.  This is the third book in Frankie Dupont series and he's back to save the day when a science fair project gets messed with.  Will Frankie figure it out?  Well, you know he will, but how he does it you'll just have to read the book to find out.  No spoilers here.  An excellent read for young detective wannabes.  I read the second book in this series and loved it and number three is no different.  A great read.  Do you have to read these books in order?  Well no, but there are some times when a previous book or character is referred to, but nothing that will effect solving the mystery.  Boys and girls alike will fall in love with the setting, plot and characters.  They are fun and exciting.

Summary: Frankie Dupont seems to catch odd-ball cases in the most unlikely places.

Ship Ahoy, Matty.  Oh, no it isn't a pirate adventure it is a mystery cruise adventure.  See if you, the reader, can solve the mystery before Frankie and his friends as they sail away into the night on a cruise.  Will the chocolate thief be found before the crime is committed? The characters are no strangers, but the crime is fun to solve in this fourth book of the Frankie Dupont series.  Read them all you won't be sorry.
