When Jesus Wept ~ Bodie & Brock Thoene

ENTER TODAY  4-2 thru 4/23!!

  This is the story of Lazurus and his relationship with Jesus. It is told as his life story and his encounters with the trials and tribulations of his life in those times. The story is fictional, however, you can easily get so wrapped up in the story that you feel you are back in the times of Jesus.  The book tells of some encounters and spiritual events that will be familiar to you from reading the bible, remember it is a fictional story and you just need to sit back, relax and let the story take you to that era of time. 

 

This is the first book I have every read from the Thoene's and I enjoyed it.   I would recommend this to anyone that wants to go to place that makes you feel good and in a different era of time.  I am looking forward to the next book of the series.

This is the story of Cathy Cramer who is a blog writer on murders that hit the media spotlight. Cathy's sister in-law is found dead in her house by her soon to be ex-husband (Jay) a.k.a.

The story has many character's along the way, with all their own with twists and turns. As Terri always does, she keeps you turning the pages. Each Chapter from beginning to the end, has that unusual story changes in every chapter.

If you enjoy a great murder mystery that keeps you guessing to the very end, then read this book! I loved this book, as I am an avid Terri fan and have read ALL her books.

The Gospel of Yes ~ Mike Glenn

The book is about what the title says, YES just what GOD wants from us.   Each chapter in this book covers a different situation of when and how GOD tells us yes.  This is a good reference book, I was able to use it as examples when friends talk about why me? why does GOD do this? what does GOD want me to do?  The explanations and references were very good sources to explain that GOD does say YES !!

I would recommend this book to friends, family, book groups, bible studies, etc.  It is a very easily read and very understandable.  It is not a heavy read or in depth explanations, you can read this, retain information and reuse the information in everyday life and situations.

Secrets Over Sweet Tea ~ Denise Hildreth Jones

This story is about 3 families and over coming dysfunctional family situations.  Scarlett Jo is a southern pastor's wife and a very godly women.  Her personality is funny, smart and has Jesus in her heart.  Grace is a newscaster with a husband that has his own issues that cause Grace to have to make very hard decisions.  She is a career women, very committed to her marriage and wants to have a family.  Zach is a lawyer with a wife and 2 girls.  He is very educated, dedicated to being a divorce lawyer and very handsome.  Put all three of these characters together and you have a book that you can't put down.  The author intertwines the characters stories to all relate to each other.

I loved this book and you can relate to the characters in today's world.  The story lines are very current to the world we live in today.  Many people will be able to relate to these characters.  I was very impressed how the author kept faith and the biblical meaning from the beginning to the end of the book.

This is a fun, loving and meaningful book, that I would recommend for anyone to read.

Goodbye to Yesterday ~ Wanda Brunsttetter

This is book 1 of 6 books in the series, it is a very small and short book.  Luke and Meredith are Amish living in Lancaster County, PA.  When Luke loses his job, he makes the decision to take on a new opportunity and make a quick trip to Middlebury for job training.  Luke leaves Meredith on the farm by herself to take care of things while he is gone.  While he is gone Meredith finds out she is expecting there first child and has to make the decision when is the perfect time to tell Luke.  The book ends as Luke is traveling and he is mugged during a bus stop, and the book leaves us hanging as to what happens.

I did enjoy this book, however, I don't like the part of it being a very small book and only 121 pages.  I would prefer the whole story in one novel.  I don't think I would spend the money to purchase all 6 books.  The price would be to costly as to purchasing one book.

When Donkeys Talk ~ Tyler Blanski

This book was very hard for me to understand, it is not an easy read and requires full attention to what you are reading.  The book has a great thought to it, and in the first chapter I was really interested.  However, after that it was a repeat of material and started to confuse me as I lost the meaning of the message to the book.

The theme of the book is (?, I think) what the donkey is the symbol of in the bible and the story of Balaam.  I feel that this book is more for theologian's, and not for readers that don't want to concentrate while reading.  It is a heavy read with a good meaning, wish it would have been written on a lighter note to reach more people.

I would not recommend this book to people who are looking for a light read or an lazy afternoon read.  You will have to pay attention and take your time to stop and think after reading this book.

Still LOLO ~ Lauren Scruggs

This is the story of Lauren Scruggs dealing with an accident that in a split second changed her life forever.   The story is told from her birth to the accident and how she has been faithful to GOD all her life.  This book is faith based and would be really great for teenage girls that are facing all of society's pressure and the way that GOD intends us to be.

 I was very impressed and inspired by how Lauren and her family have always kept the faith in the situations that they have had to deal with and turning to GOD for all the answers.   One of the favorite chapters is how Lauren describes NY and the Big Apple to the apple in Genesis, it was a great way to explain sin-- loved it.

Something that surprised me most was that Lauren was not a model or rich as most of the media stories have said when covering her accident.  This part of the book is really interesting that the media is not sharing the true story; the book tells the truth and it is really different then what
the public has been told by the news.


I would recommend this to everyone to read.  It will inspire you and you will want to have others read this encouraging story.  If you are a teen girl or have a teenage girl read this book you will love it.
