Review:Love In A Fix: A Contemporary Christian romance (Modern Conveniences book 1) is by Leah Atwood. It is a quick read and a good story of second chances. It is very realistic.

With her husband’s sudden death in a car crash, she had to go back to work and is even working two jobs to try to pay the bills. Now her oven quit working. What else can go wrong? While waiting until it is time to go to the church, she goes ... Read more

Review:It is extraordinarily difficult for me to gather my thoughts on this book into coherent form. You can tell by this sampling of my notes:

pg 97 tears already

PAGE 197 CHILLS I HAVE ACTUAL GOOSEBUMPS

pg 249 why

So, forgive me the rambling quality of this review.

THE SERPENT KING is a book about salvation and family and what we inherit and what we make of ourselves. It touches on poverty, mental illness, abuse, and religion--all difficult topics, all handled deftl... Read more

Review:I have long wondered about Rich Mullins, so bought this book to round out my order and get free shipping from Amazon. I was disappointed. I gather that it does a good job of what it does, but it doesn't do what I expected. I was looking for a biography of Rich Mullins, and while this book does contain some of that you have to dig it out from among the ten devotionals the author offers. I do understand that the devotionals represent important aspects of life that Mullins'held dear, but I quit ... Read more

Review:There are certain writers few and rare who make the reader see the world in a different way. There are certain writers who reveal to us hidden worlds in ourselves and teach us truths on the edge of our consciousness which we by ourselves alone could never bring to revelation. Pessoa is such a writer, a singularity among the singularities. He explores as he himself says his own subjectivity and is a person largely of his own inner world but that inner world never stops encountering and transformi... Read more

Review:The whole Squeaky Clean series is a favorite of mine and Dust and Obey is no different. Can't wait to see what happens next with Gabby and Riley. I love that I can read a mystery/suspense book and have it be clean. Read more

Review:Ok, so I don’t really know where to begin. Anomaly was such a complex and surprising book that I’m astounded. Krista McGee certainly knows how to write a book with surprises and no predictability at all (well, for me at least). Ms McGee’s writing style was great and I was addicted for the most part. My only conflicting reflections would be the Christian aspect; I am not religious and don’t generally read books with it as a strong subject matter, but the overall premise was amazing and very uniqu...

Review:This is an older book for younger readers, but if you have a child in love with horses you might want to check it out.

Dandi Daley Mackall packs a lot of emotion into this short chapter book. Winnie hasn't forgiven herself for events that changed the lives of her family, and that lack of forgiveness is reflected in pretty much everything she does. She's quick tempered, quick to judge, and rather rude.

But once you understand the heart, you can help change the behavior.

That'... Read more

Review:Although this author targets a late teen audience, this 72-year-old great grandmother thinks this author writes stories that have a far greater appeal. We all sin, and we all need redemption. Eagerly awaiting Tammy Gray's first book in her new series: Set Apart. Read more

Review:I read some summaries or reviews about how this book taught kids about the promise of God or something like that with the flight path of this little bird. Well, I sure didn't see it. There is some very brief sentence about pondering about Gods promise, but that's all. The book has nice pictures, a few words per page and then this expensive book is over before you realize it. Maybe for 2 year olds that are impressed by every thing on one picture or two. If your child is 4 or older....this is... Read more

Review:I received the book from the publisher for an honest review.

An excellent tale of loss, betrayal and trusting as one woman tries to claim back her identity and heritage.
Rebecca Ravenshaw had an horrific experience in India and had lost her parents during the Rebellion. When she finally stepped foot on English soil she thought that everything was good. But, once she arrived at Headbourne, her family estate, she realized that it would not be the case.
Not only was there an imposter, ... Read more
