Think Again ~ Jared Mellinger

The title of this book is exactly what it teaches you, think again and stop looking at yourself and look at Christ....follow Christ, HE leads us to a better life.   Jared talks about his own feelings and then explains how to lean on GOD and not yourself.  He covers many topics of self reflection, guilt, integrity, value, destiny, joy, peace, grace and so much more.  Each chapter covers different feelings and daily experiences with back up of scripture and questions for you to re-think again about what GOD is doing in your life, it's not all about you!

I would recommend this book to any ages for anyone that really wants to be able to get rid off those feelings of no self worth.  It is a book that you can read once and re-read and get a different outcome. Good book and easy to read.

Tranquility ~ Coloring Journal

This book does what it covers says, Tranquility of everyday life..... it's cardboard cover is sturdy and makes it easy to handle the journal and color in without needing a table.  Each page has GOD on it.  The paper is thick enough that will not bleed through when coloring or journaling.  If you want to be relaxed and just have time to get away from it all and be with GOD this book will do that for you. 

I really liked how you can read a devotion, journal or just color, it is up to what you want to do.  The cover of this book, doesn't do it justice for a young generation.  However, it is for any ages and anyone that wants to spend time with GOD.  This would be a great gift for mom with Mother's Day coming up or anyone that likes to journal and/or color, could be used as a tool for those with missions on their minds.

Sandpiper Cove ~ Irene Hannon

This is Book #3 of the Hope Harbor series.  Irene takes you back to the quaint little village of Hope Harbor in Oregon.  This time we meet Lexie a single mom and the town police chief, trying to make everything safe and sound for the people.  Then we meet Adam an ex-con living in the town and trying to stay out of sight and mind, along with his rescued dog Clyde.  When a string of vandalism hits town and Adam is one of the victims, Lexie steps in to solve this case.  However, Adam doesn't want anything to do with being in the mix.  Will the meeting of Lexi and Adam turn into more then acquaintances and into a romance?  With this and other town characters the reading moves right along and keeps you interested to see where this will end. 

I would recommend this to anyone that wants an easy, relaxing afternoon read that takes you to a little bit of a mystery, romance and attachment to the characters.  Even though it is book #3 it can be read as a stand alone, however, you will be so intrigued by the story you will want to go back and read the others.

The Jesus Club ~ Brian Barcelona

This is the story of Brian Barcelona and how he followed GOD's calling for him to preach the word to high school students.  When Brian becomes a Christian he is called to spread the word to his old high school, but how does he do this when he was a strong atheist for so many years?  He takes on the calling and sets up to talk at the schools Christian meetings.  The first meeting is only 3 students, he feels so disappointed, however, he hears God yell.... PREACH!  That is how his calling starts, and this was only the beginning..... there are so many blessings in this book, it will make you realize that your boring life just may be what God has planned for you.

I would recommend this book to all those people who feel they don't know how to reach out to others.  This is an easy, fast read that touches your heart from beginning to end.  If you want to do mission work, defiantly read this book.  I was very impressed with Brian and how truthful he was about his feelings and how he overcomes his faith with the grace of God.

Without Warning ~ Joel C. Rosenburg

This is Book #3 and the final book in the J.B. Collins series.  I didn't read book #1 or #2 and was able to keep up with this fast paced, suspenseful story.  From the beginning to the end you will not be able to put this book down.  When the President of the United States addresses the nation of his State of the Union, ISIS starts an attack on the country.  J.B. is determined to save the country, however, no one will listen to him, leaving him to take matters into his own hands.  The details that the author puts into this book are violent and suspenseful.  The book will take you on the adventure of J.B. saving the U.S. and trying to stay ahead of

Abu Khalif and ISIS to save the nation.

I would recommend this book if you like military, political or suspenseful books.  This is one of those books that keeps you reading to the end and moves fast.  It does contain violence and makes you think that this could be really happening in today's world.  It makes you think and re-evaluate today's political world.  I want to go and read book #1 and #2 because the author is so good and love the way he writes.

If I'm found ~ Terry Blackstock

This is book # 2 in the If I run series.  Terry does it again!  A page turner story that you will not put down until the last page and leaves you wanting more.  The book picks up where book #1 ends and continues with Casey on the run trying to prove her innocents.  As Casey investigates while in hiding, she comes across another situation that she can't leave behind.  This story has many twist and turns that will keep you reading and become so involved that you won't put the book down until you get to the last page. 

I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a great drama read that will suck you in to the end.  This is a stand alone book, you can read without reading book #1, however, reading book #1 will give you more of a background and really give you the attachment to the characters.  I can't wait for book #3 and find out what happens to Casey.  Another excellent read from Terry Blackstock.

Lost & Found ~ Kendra Fletcher

Kendra tells the story of how her own life changed by tragic incidents from her own experiences. She tells of dealing with events that she thought was what the good believer should be doing, as the world tells us to do to be a good Christian.  She finds that it is not about what society wants you to believe,  it is about what is in your heart and your belief in Jesus.  It is all about grace!

This is a great book for all of us that feel the pressure of doing what you are supposed to do because that is what the church or how social groups expect us to be.  It really shows a new side of how it is all about your own belief of putting Jesus first and really having him in your heart.  I really enjoyed this book and how Kendra shared her pain and then guides you down a path for you to say, "Yes" I have experienced that.... it all makes sense now and you will not feel alone.  This is a really great story that hits you and makes you think and change for finding Jesus to know what your meaning is in life..... great book.
